    “Her mom says she lied about being raped when she was 12” is one hell of a political platform when gas is $7 a gallon.

      I shit you not, as a teller myself, hella old folks will fall for this shit. Especially older women, they dont like it when thier husbands’ laundry is aired.

      Even my own mother, told me crazy wild family stuff when I was 16-18. If I ask her about it now, “oh that never happened youre a liar”.

      This shit works on the weak minded

        Going to hell for this but…

        Republicans heard there was “12 year old Action” and became enraged when they found out their real age.
