"Adult men want the lifestyle of a 12 year old.

A woman taking care of their laundry, cooking, cleaning, and bills -- while they go play outside with friends."

They refuse to acknowledge that they want the use of a woman, but not a relationship or partnership with one.

Such men are confused by GOP messaging that says they are entitled to have this unfair & unequal arrangement with women.

Saudi Arabia bought $142 billion dollars of military gear from Trump.

It enriched GOP donors enormously, yet Republicans continue to bash Muslims.

The money is apparently acceptable but not the religion?

The Saudi royals helped Musk buy Twitter in time to meddle in elections, but the religion is precluded from immigration, visas, and human decency.
