I hate to be overly simplistic about the root of our nations challenges. That being said I think our biggest issue is that we do not have a psychotic NBA star.

Jesus Mary and Joseph what neon orange nonsense is on his face

This is someone’s personal garage?

Or that a small group is very upset. The continuing process doesn’t definitively show which one

Who’s “they”?

That last sentence explains so much of our B+C, no?

They can’t possibly be going to all this trouble just for paint. Right??

I don’t know anything about this guy but he strikes me as a man who’s biggest stand is a seated one

I love a man who stands for something

I’m never gonna like Lane. The media always talks about “all he’s been through”. All I see is the wreckage he created with his own choices and immaturity. That’s not adversity. That’s consequences.
