If you don’t know who Jenna Ellis is, you are hardly alone. Many officials at the upper echelons of Trumpworld don’t really know her, either.

In more than a dozen conversations with senior figures in the White House, 2020 campaign, and broader Trump orbit, barely anybody had known Ellis as more than a blip on the Fox News radar—if that—before this October. “She literally came out of nowhere,” said one person close to President Donald Trump.

And yet, Ellis, a constitutional law attorney who’d worked since last year as the public policy director at the James Dobson Family Institute, has quickly gone from relative obscurity to talking directly with the president about politics and impeachment. In recent weeks, he’s reached out to her to ask about fighting back against his Democratic enemies, and has casually analyzed and praised her TV hits when she’s not around, say two people with knowledge of the president’s conversations.

platform from which he finds these people ?

In 2019, ANYBODY still dragging a "gay agenda" banner needs a psychiatric exam immediately.

It sickens me physically to hear these people demanding that we adopt a more "biblical profile" in our lives. Leave us alone. Stick your bible where the sun don't shine (You don't read it anyway. You cherry-pick it. That's not how it works. Either you embrace the whole thing or you don't, but you do not get to decide which parts you'll adhere to and which parts you'll ignore.). And keep your fascist religious marching orders away from me.

Without a doubt.

We'll find out in the next year she was caught soliciting a prostitute.

13. I wonder what her opinion on slavery is, or eating shellfish?

I wonder if she’s an advocate of stoning women in the center of town if they’re revealed not to be virgins?

and the Beast ought to know that full well. Stop trying to pretend that Republican voters see being anti-LGBT as a minus rather than a plus. Don't try and make them seem reasonable people.
