Almost 14,000 children. And counting. Who was the intended target for this precision weapon? A child at the Foosball table whose parent they wanted to punish? A person walking by, with the children “a bonus” since “none are innocent”? 14,000 children,and Joe Biden pushes for more

She's an ace and we're lucky to have her. Anyone who namby-pambies around & thinks not voting is gonna 'send a message' ... is sending the message that women's bodies don't matter as much as your wee stamping foot.
