  • Yes, the propaganda is strong. Republicans have been objectively, scientifically proven bad for the economy, for blue collar workers, for crime, for reducing abortions, for religious freedom and for small government in the last… at least 5 decades.

  • No it really isn’t. He can love the child and have a perfect fatherly relationship even if there are no feelings between him and the mother.

    Would you call, for example, a single or divorced mother “not a mom” because she doesn’t love the father? I don’t think so.

    Cats are far from apex predators. They are prey to birds of prey, canids and even bigger mustellids like badgers and wolverines. But birds, like the eurasian eagle-owl and canids like coyotes are their main concern.
