He might have said that as well, but I specifically remember him (well, someone, but I think it was him) referring to “hermones and hismones”. ETA, I just found this line on a random message board > Till he says hermones and hismones. Or “What if my hemoglobins, get mixed up with her shemaglobins.” ---

The emails, laden with racial slurs and profanities, were cc’d to an office of U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas. > “You guys gotta give me their addresses or charge them can’t just have one assassinations and acting like senators, and da’s John needs to die let me kill some of his family,” reads one email that was sent May 11 at 7:07 a.m. > Last month, investigators searched Hammerer’s home. They found a Glock 19, two shotguns and an unloaded AR-15 rifle, as well as ammunition, a sword, a ballistic vest and security badges. The person’s family seems to think that this stems from a DUI but also that he’s gone off the rails over the last few years. What I’m curious about is the Ted Cruz connection. Is Cruz just a random politician that he thought would dox other politicians? ---

Well, now that Trump is assured of a landslide over Biden, his attention has turned to reassuring voters that their lives will remain Exactly the Same (except better!) after his ascension. - He won’t do anything to stop you from getting birth control (except he will.) - He won’t do anything to end gay marriage and other rights of LGBTQ+ people (except he will). - He won’t appoint four additional right-wing extremist SCOTUS Justices, making the new lineup 10 against 3 (except he will). - He won’t round up Spanish-speaking people and put them in internment camps (except he will). He never even HEARD of Project 2025!!!1!1!1! ---

Surely even republican women understand that not having access to abortion or birth control is going to be a problem. . I agree. My only guess is that the Republican women think they’ll be somehow exempt from the new Trump-era laws.
