    We have a back state senator that endorsed Trump and they are going to censure him. How do you censure someone for just agreeing with something you don't? I don't even get that.

    The Democratic party has opened themselves up to so much demonization that they cannot even see straight anymore. Satan an his army have totally infiltrated them. Remember, he comes to KILL, STEAL & DESTROY. That is what they are all about these days. They love to MURDER babies, STEAL our freedoms and rights and DESTROY this great nation.
