and his stupid ass supporters won’t care. and if they do, they won’t clue you into how stupid they feel so its deny. one woman didn’t even know about his foundation being investigated, but went on to argue that Hillary’s foundation is why no one trusted her. so, i did what every liberal dem would do, i gave her the damn proof that Hillary’s foundation was A rated, and the article about the investigation into tRumps. you know what that bitch said, she said, that’s all fake news. so you see, it doesn’t matter if you prove your assertions, especially if it doesn’t represent their racist-in-chief in a favorable light, they won’t accept it as fact.
then she talked about it being Obama & Hillary’s fault for ISIS. i kid you not. so again, i gave her the information. it was because of Reagan, Bush Sr., & GWB. her response, “LOL, i’m not even a republican.” what does that have to do with the matter, nothing. she had no response other than that and to say, “i’m a trumpian.” so, my response, it doesn’t matter to me one way or another, you have have right to be an ass if you choose. so, she got mad and muted me. LOLOLOL

All three major religions believe in the subjugation of women. The difference is, Muslims and Jews have the cajoles to admit it.
