I like his music, but I sure wouldn’t listen to a thing he says. He’s got what 3 or 4 wives and a dozen kids?

The Democrats exploited a dead cop's body in the Rotunda so why would anyone be surprised when they exploit a blind black man?

Soon they be competing with the Shriners and St Jude's for children with cancer that are against the Filibuster.

Stevie, ask questions from people not afraid to tell you the truth. This is not the Democrat Party from our childhood.
Hubert Humphery would not know this near Socialist weighted party, nor even would Lyndon B. Johnson.

If the Dems are so wonderful, why are they allowing Teacher Labor Unions to dictate the terms of Mask Mandates, keeping children masked up and not learning anything new for a second full year?
Ask somebody about our southmost borders, Steve.
The Dems of today don’t not intend to guard or even recognize the legal borders of our country. Is this what you want, Stevie?

Good because we are not a democracy.

A democracy is two wolfs and a lamb voting on the dinner menu.

The filibuster is most certainly anti-democratic.

Even retards know that.

And it’s not democracy that we, or the founders want.

Let’s try it and find out.
