That’s like an 80% fresh horror movie lived in real life. She made it out!!! Oh my god, girl!!!

“This story is stranger, and sadder, than it initially appears.”

I don’t blame her for looking out for her and her family’s safety but you know that troll got exactly what he wanted and the rest of the racists will chalk this up as a major victory.

We lost decades of good research on treatments due to the US’s ridiculous scheduling of drugs and the taboo nature of many of them.

harrison you paid for a cardboard box that serves the same function as a few stacks of books

Running on ideals rather than running on compromise positions picked by focus group testing because they cause the least backlash is the way to get elected.

He also plans to repeal “Stand Your Ground” laws.

Actually he may not, the State Department controls export of arms, and decides what is considered controlled arms (within the legislative framework and rules).
