Prayers for the dead, wounded and traumatized in las vegas.
Country Music festival in Las Vegas devolved into a bloodbath last night...............
California is on an unsustainable trajectory. Will CA drive off the cliff or slowly “devolve” into 3rd world status?

Dear Roger Goodell, I must resolve
That until your games do not involve
Taking a knee
In front of me
Which makes my desire to watch devolve
Joining you in prayer, xsmommy.
excellent. A ++++ I heard NFL was going to not televise the anthem to “protect” the kneelers. WEAK. and yesterday staff were standing around shielding some kneeling players. RIDIC>
I am watching as the culture, morals, and ethics of what today’s liberal “demand” as the society’s “normal” devolves back into the swamp of ignorance, apathy, greed, and mindless sexual pleasure. I’d blame their faith as Darwinian disciples, but their “religion” places cows, frogs, newts, and fish above people.
And considering the average democrat voter, maybe their right: The average pig is smarter.
robt I am so depressed about the state of humanity, we are hurtling ever faster into the abyss. A++++
The liberals and their precious saints Obama and Hillary are responsible in large part for encouraging insane people to commit crimes like this with their divisive and inflammatory speeches-I’m beginning to think my guy Nemesis is right-he thinks it is time for us to be two countries-one based on conservative, free market values, the other on the premise of a socialist USSR type “utopia”-let’s see who prospers best after a year or two...
Liberal complaints and tantrums
Soon devolve into loud screaming
Since Pres Trump let them know
He’s not fond of their scheming
The out of control derangement
The worshipping at Hillary’s feet
The hiring of BLM rent-a-mobs
To go burn and riot in the street
Have inflamed so many lunatics
And wannabe terrorists as well-
As Hillary is blaming the Pres
While law and safety go to hell
Amen.
In San Juan, watched the mayor devolve
All her duties to Trump, then resolve
“He malingers and lies”
But in front of her eyes
Were supplies, which, her problems, they’d solve
Swingers party goes bad when 'jealous' wife attacks husband with minivan
(this story had all kinds of stuff going for it. salacious swinging, Clara Harris style assault with a minivan)
