I’m glad Brittney Griner was rescued from Russia

Mirror, Mirror, on the wall, is there any empathy at all?

I’ve seen enough bigoted rants about Britteny Griner to last a lifetime. This poor woman was a political prisoner, a victim of Russia’s grasp for power over the world, and yet conservatives are throwing a fit that a victim of severe political abuse was rescured.

Nothing will make these people happy. They have apparently never made one stupid mistake in their entire lives and so they sit on their steeples of judgment (which are stuck up their arse), and they throw shade.

They have absolutely nothing useful to contribute except for bitching and moaning about how they can’t turn the United States of America into a fundamentalist Christian utopia.

Dominionists have been working for a good long time now to silently take over by force. If it weren’t what I lived when I first came to America I’d swear it was a conspiracy theory.

Unfortunately, the Dominionist movement is alive and well. Their basic thought process is that the women need to incubate as many children as possible so that they can take over the entire country by sheer numbers.
