I dunno about that. Both Judas and Pontius Pilate were fairly instrumental in the creation of the Christian religion. ETA: Got ninja’d by a day. Somehow didn’t ee @crowmanyclouds’s post. ---

How does doing this now alleviate that?!? Hmm… If there is a blue wave this November, the MAGATs might be so mad that the next coup could work. If somebody actually comes up with a plan. Thing is, I can’t imagine the military ever getting on board with this, but we live in interesting times. I hope the White House/Capitol have really increased their security. ---

Young GQP candidate chokes on abortion question during Q&A with elite, extremist, liberal League of Women Voters in Minnesota.
