1. She's evil

[Bettie]

9. She really is

when I used to call into her office (the Cedar Rapids one) the staffer who usually answered the phone always sounded exhausted...and like she was dreading what people where going to say.

I never had anything nice to say about her, but I was always polite to the staffer, who once thanked me for not yelling.

At some point, I realized that calling or sending letters won't move her, the only thing she'll respond to is lots and lots of money, which I don't have.

2. The people are not "split" you f ing lying freak. Weasel words.

[Diamond_Dog]

3. Wow she just makes one shameless and idiotic statement after another.

[EYESORE 9001]

4. Wrong, you ghastly creep

Your quote should say, ‘people will SPIT on this’.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

5. FUCK YOU, Joni!!!

I bet you cannot wait until you retire after November.

Go back to castrating hogs, because YOU have castrated the people of Iowa in the process with your IGNORANCE and DEVOTION to Trump.

[Bettie]

10. When we moved here, in 2002

Iowa wasn't so bad.

Now? Not great. I'm hoping that Rob Sand becomes governor and is able to do something, but the legislature is working hard to ensure that the governor has no power over anything once Kim Reynolds leaves.

7. Send ICE if there's a "threat to the homeland.". They're already dressed.

[Swede]

8. It's too bad we didn't have some reliable treaty, with all the big players, keeping Iran in check.

[SamKnause]

14. Reasons to DRAFT ICE

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100221087802

• They are already "trained" (in random violence against civilians. Checks one box)

• Bonespur "victims" have already been weeded out.

• They are already government employees and must go where assigned. (saves TONS of paperwork)

• They already have weapons, and unspent budget money.
• They already have swell masks to protect from radioactive dust that bombing reactors creates.

• They (probably) already have military haircuts, and (this is big)
• Their kill to loss ratio is infinite.

Oh, and ...

• It's them or Barron. 


Say, that's a damn lot of "alreadys"!!!!


Are you All Ready, Willing to kill, and Able?

GO TO IRAN 
IT'S YOUR DESTINY!

Danes Agree, YES, DANES!
