Kudos to the team that bred this wonderful animal, one of several that helped us stay sane during the Dark Four Years.

From the same farm as Roy Moore's Horse.

Nunes went to Trump with his hat in hand and asked to use the power of the DOJ to settle a personal score. Trump sent "some of his boys" over to Twitter to lean on them.

The price of course, was unconditional loyalty and willingness to serve in any future needs.

On the right as well as some on the left who fell for their rhetoric can form a line on this thread and apologize.

I'd also like an apology from Bill Maher as well even though he is against apologies. Watch video at 14 minute mark.



I'm sorry I'm pissed. I took it for 5 years of right wingers claiming that the left is for censorship when it was pure projection.

Even when they accuse us of being socialists. It's Republicans who want all the benefits of government without paying any taxes. Freeloaders!
