Is it possible that moonbats can't see how utterly crazy they've become?
As evidence, I offer you this article. A 'uterus-shaped' cereal has been launched with the goal of putting conversations about periods on the table.

He begins his post like this: DRUM (5/31/22):* I am one of those terrible liberals who has long-since given up on gun control and mass shootings.* The pro-gun sentiment in America—even if it's not a majority—is far too strong to permit any meaningful firearm legislation. Combine that with a pro-gun Supreme Court and I'm unable to see even the slim possibility of any serious regulation in the near or medium-term future. I've never been interested in p... read more
