It's been interesting seeing the reactions since the election, especially on election night proper. Sure, a few people utter rhetoric about coming together, etc. As I noted in a previous post there certainly are Democrats out there talking like they're moderates tone-wise while being anything but when you actually look at their policies. More there later. Nevertheless, the platitudes of coming together are easily proven to be a lie. Pelosi within the same speech promises to do anything and eve…

Incidentally, while most of the shots of him make him look professional, friendly, family and nature guy, he does at some times with his hair more a mess look like that "aliens" meme guy (see above…
We're onto our second entry after the previous first one [https://thelastredoubt.com/for-feminists-there-are-no-good-men/].
