    If I think of the silliest thing possible they could use this as an excuse for, I’d say they’ll use it to ban condoms somehow. I’m not leaving anything off the table these days. And if it does happen because of this I will eat my own hat because that’s just fucking stupid.

    Some “facts” really just done need to be fact checked.

    Like Congress really appropriated funds for condoms to an group IT defined as a terrorist organization when they won’t even fund condoms for their own people. By my calculations that is approximately 1667 condoms for each member, not including overhead.
