I see that as a reason to make sure he NEVER becomes speaker rather than the opposite.
What kind of psycho do you have to be to name your kid "Puppet"
Seems like they had a theme going...
How can we tell them we don't value women without saying it out loud?
Idunno, at least Marianne got a name that's not batshit insane. Maybe they kinda sorta consider her a person?🤷
Yikes. When two of your other siblings are named Marianne and Mariette, and your parents name you Mariannette..
That's mariOnette. Mariannette seems to be a combination of Marianne and Mariette? Which conveniently two of her sisters seem to be named...
It's okay to admit you don't know how to pronounce a word, bro.
Uh huh.
Now say the word out loud.

While I agree with the sentiment, I can't support anyone ever sending death threats.
I’m not supporting them. Just pointing out what happens when you deal with Republicans like this. It’s not at all surprising coming in relation to a maga-centric figure like Jordan.

I don’t need to change anything, “gets” does not equal “deserves.”
Leopards are hungry, methinks.
That being said, they created their monsters, no sympathy.
Republican congresswoman shocked and dismayed that it was, in fact, her face that the leopards ate.
Was her husband beaten with a hammer?
No. That was Nancy Pel... Oh.
