One way you know Dolly Parton lived life the right way: I don’t think anyone’s going to get fired for accurately quoting Dolly Parton today.

Robert Mueller was a patriot who served this country for his entire life. He fought and bled for the United States while many of the cucks who are attacking him did everything they could to avoid service. Nothing any of these subhuman shitstains say will diminish his legacy.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but we still held elections during the US Civil War, WW1, and WW2, so why would they be suspended for this current war?

Trump is the quintessential bully. Loves to be a loud mouth and throw the first punch, but then cries like a child and begs them to not to retaliate.

The thing about the halftime show: You didn’t actually need to know Spanish to understand the message. Love, Respect, Joy, and Acceptance are universally recognizable and cherished human attributes across cultures. And that is incredibly beautiful.

Donald Trump has given you literally hundreds of exit ramps, points at which saying: “I no longer support this,” would have been easy. Not taking one by now says an awful lot more about you than it does about him.
