There is a real difference between having 40 daughters and having 2-3 daughters in their 40s.

Tomi Lahren thinks college students are eating foods so they can barf on her.  
“I spoke at University of Tennessee a few days ago and experienced a new leftist “tactic.” These liberal freaks on campuses are now gorging themselves on watermelon and refried beans in an attempt to barf on conservative speakers. Yes. You read that correctly. Good lord!”

Marjorie Taylor Greene (yes, I know she has her own thread, but this is still a stupid idea embraced by Republicans in addition to Marge) scolds a reporter for asking about something happening in a part of the world important to US security. Because it’s not actually _ **in** _ the USA:

I insist that all babies be required to provide two forms of ID before obtaining formula. That’s the only way to crack down on the rampant formula fraud that stole the past election from Orangeanus. And, and a long form birth certificate.

Next step is insisting all babies be required to provide two forms of **gummint-issued photo i.d.** before being born. That should fix everything.

That is, to use his words, infuriating. He is shouting about fighting against “the globalists” – by _supporting the Cheeto-faced ShitGibbon?_

Well, well, well; [this story does not say what the challenger’s party affiliation is](https://www.yahoo.com/news/georgia-man-challenges-eligibility-13-144642111.html), but I would not bet against it being Republican. The most amazing part of the law the twerp in question is taking advantage of is this:

> Georgia empowers any voter in a county or municipality to challenge the qualifications of anyone else on the voter rolls. A sweeping election law passed last year specified that there is no limit on the number of people whose qualifications a single voter can challenge.

Yeah. There was no intention whatsoever of such a law being used to disadvantage someone. And I really do not recall any voter registration laws to which I’ve been subject to (Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, California) requiring the address I put on the registration form match the USPS’s database.

They say he’s gay because he’s never had a girlfriend, but it’s not true. He’s gay because he _loves cock_.

With his attitude? I doubt he’d have any luck getting men to have sex with him either.
