(1,325 posts)4. How many Republicans does it take to get the lights back on?
Zero. They need Democrats to do it for them.
Like everything else in the past x decades, Democrats are the only adults in the room and only ones capable of making decisions that benefit all. GOP a$$hats are a disgrace.

Why doesn't someone use social media to characterize Mikey in ways he's clearly uncomfortable with? Like how about a shirtless Mikey holding hands with a hunky guy from the cover of a romance novel? How about Mikey in a spandex bathing suit tossing a beach ball with a teen lad in similar dress? Let's show him what cavalier is.
There are so many things in this video that disgust me I can't even speak.
