The Founding Fathers never intended for women to be allowed to vote either, and yet here we are.
The Founding Fathers never intended for Washington D.C. to be a state.
#DCStatehood is really about packing the Senate with Democrats in order to pass a left-wing agenda.
Just look at the DC voter registration data:
🔵 76.4% Democrat

Not since the anger over sex abuse in 2002 and 2018 have I seen so many people so demoralized, and ready to leave the church, as I have this week, after the CDF document on same sex blessings. And not simply LGBT people, but their families and friends, a large part of the church.

So - let me get this straight?
Trump’s base won’t take the vaccine out of loyalty to him?
Will they refuse the stimulus checks and expanded child tax credit?
& do they realize Trump got the vaccine? @novogratz
