Maybe Mr. Stell doesn't have to provide ID to vote in Wisconsin, but here in Florida, we have been required to provide photo ID for decades.

Actually, I never want to have to get that close to him.

Makes me want to throw up that she's over the U.S. Coast Guard. (former LTjg, USCG)

He is a petty, disgusting little 13-year-old. Nasty, vicious, stupid, egotistical, and filthy.

Irony on parade. "March for Life" participants may be a fatal threat to others.

Those involved, those who committed these heinous crimes, for crimes they are, must be held accountable in a court of law. These are some heavily depraved, soulless, disgusting creatures crawling on the Earth. Is castration too good for them? This absolutely must not be tolerated!

Who needs gas when we have these pathogens that people are not guarding themselves against? A concentration camp is a concentration camp, no matter where it is located.

That one is a real waste of DNA.

ICE is a terrorist organization and should NOT be funded.

I've been saying for many years now that hypoctisy is the Republicans' default position.

If anyone knows about Howard the Duck, I feel more and more like him each day that passes: Trapped in a world I never made.

I’m glad Jeffries came out swinging on this one.
Trump is an unrepentant racist and his posts should not be normalized.

He should touch himself more often.

Powerful white men once equated Black people with monkeys to justify their abduction, deportation, enslavement, lynching and segregation.

The heinous image that Trump shared is explicit racism.

There is no nowhere for his supporters to hide. Supporting him is incompatible with basic human decency.

Wow. Trump got chastised bigly throughout this prayer.

Or intimidate those with a "D" in the party affiliation column?

He's a mass murderer, too. COVID-19.

I've lived in Florida for 70 years. My second language is Spanish. I've never seen so many g--d--- idiots in charge of so much in all my time here. I'm sick of the just plain meanness of these jerks.

Those who arrived on the Mayflower were also immigrants. I'm descended from the Mayflower's John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. Some immigrants came here against their will, from Africa. Let's not forget that, too.

ICE is hunting children and committing terrorism.

The GOP are protecting rapists and pedophiles.

So much for "family values."
