Courage, backbone, spine. Balls are weak and incredibly sensitive. HRC, Kamala, Pelosi, AOC, Jasmine Crockett, they don’t have balls, but they’re fierce. Lindsey has literal balls. Notice a pattern?

Why does a woman’s medical options and physical rights change by state lines yet men have the same rights, regardless of zip codes? If men got their period, tampons would be sent monthly from the government with paid time off for even mild cramping.

I don’t know what did or didn’t happen to Trump, but what I do know is the country has the right to know the truth.

All joking aside, the American People deserve to know if their president is healthy. The White House has denied media access, posted old pictures of Trump, and they failed to dissuade theories concerning a health emergency. If Trump is unable to fulfill his duties, he MUST be removed from office.

The last time Donald Trump showed his face live in front of the press was Tuesday, August 26th, during a marathon three-hour cabinet meeting. Maybe all that staged roundtable praise from his sycophants was too much for him.
