When voting gets to an individual level this always gets weird. My wife and I had a 3.5 year wait to adopt, so a person who wants to be a parent making what seems to be a stupid fucking choice...I can see how they made that choice, and I feel bad for her that it turned out so poorly.

Where I don't feel bad at all is the voters who have been voting (R) for years, voted (D) once or twice for '18 and '20, and then immediately when back to (R). You touched the hot stove again, you got burned again.

Maybe it's just me but I'm thankful when idiots can't reproduce

young people are allowed to be stupid. that is the nature of being young.

idk exactly where the cutoff is, but at a certain point you're not allowed to be f'n moron anymore.

When you're actively trying to procreate

your brain finishes growing at 24. As far as I'm concerned, after that stage you don't have an excuse

just the other day they were talking to a kindergarten teacher in wisconsin whose husband is from costa rica. things have gotten more expensive, but she’s still behind trump 100%. she just hopes he doesn’t cut head start because that would be terrible for her kids. i’m sure everything will be fine!

i think i heard that one!

every iteration of this story is better than the previous one.

the magnum opus will be a stereotypical racist af maga miami cuban/venezuelan in a concentration camp in el salvador talking about how its unfortunate but he understands and still supports donnie
