To the GOP POWER even when not used for anyone's good But rich and connected is far more important than peace in the world, faithful interaction for the good of all among countries and willingness to help those in need.F all and $$ is all that's important.Don't forget honoring the dishonorable!

JD Vance has PRAISED the 'audacity' of RamaSMARMY for bringing up Acton's rape. The trio of Trump, Vance and RamaSMARMY deserve each other. All crap, misogynists and vile.

Vivek Ramaswamy’s Vile Attack Ad Is Trumpism in a Nutshell newrepublic.com/article/2169... via @newrepublic.com Vile and obscene don't even come close. No wonder he and Trump are so in synch. His opponent was RAPED by her stepfather and that's a joke? To men like this yes, it is.

newrepublic.comVivek Ramaswamy’s Vile Attack Ad Is Trumpism in a NutshellThe Ohio Republican gubernatorial candidate’s ad against Amy Acton is disqualifying. It’s also precisely what you would expect from a MAGA regime that protects abusers.
