1. Wow

They must have had their heads WAY DEEP under a rock.

2. This is how out of touch they are........what a slap in the face.....

There is NO working with these pukes.....gotta win the two senate seats in Georgia.

5. They live in a right wing bubble. It's pitiful...and dangerous. nt

3. Probably not the best choice for a "first day of school" event. I saw her on TV complaining ...

...that it was “hurtful” to have people call her by that name.

Well, if I may make a suggestion: perhaps a specially made campaign pin memorializing Ms Taylor would have gotten the point across and created no confusion.

Just an old protestor, here.

8. Perhaps, but the point made by the Republican lawmakers demonstrating their ignorance

is pretty powerful.

9. So it's Cori's fault?

4. That response

from the Party of tRump are from fucking evil racist white men. Arrogant and ignorant POS.

I really despise them.

[DSandra]

7. They school the Devil

Republicans often seem to be on the cutting edge of evil.

10. Welcome To DU!

Those Republicans should be stripped of their titles and their citizenship if only.
