> [@ekedolphin](#): > > Gotta say that the GOP is quite compassionate for giving somebody who literally tried to have a lot of them killed a second chance at the Presidency You know, that’s a really good one. The number of chances they’ve given that guy is absolutely Christ-like. ---

Just think how many life lessons the GOP is teaching to America’s youth by prohibiting comprehensive sexual education and reasonable access to birth control. I mean, how else can our teens learn about consequences, motherhood and our failing medical system other than through having an unwanted pregnancy? And don’t forgot that the 14 year old fathers can now work in meat packing plants in Arkansas. Got to have a way to earn that child support before heading off to sophomore year. ---

So the GOP/evangelicals are a Samaritan and Trump is the good man who has been beset by robbers? Or something, I haven’t read all of 2 Corinthians. ---

Hey, one of the GOP candidates for President (Vivek Ramaswamy) has promised to keep families together. If Daddy gets deported, he won’t be separated from his family! They’re coming too! Kindness! ---

Yeah. He’s promising to deport children born in America. ---

Actually? He can’t be promising to deport American citizens. Wait, isn’t he a citizen by being born here? ---

Don’t forget about Republican compassion for those job creators, by cutting their taxes and keeping them low all the time, and all the resulting jobs that keep getting created. What _would_ those people do with all that extra money if it weren’t trickling down to the little people?
