What is one to do when no one can agree on anything? In the immortal words of Ricky Nelson, "You can't please everyone so you've got to please yourself." It is like people apologizing for innocuous statements or actions made decades ago or recently, and you get called out on it by the left. They never let you forget that you apologized. They don't really want an apology. They want you to bow down to their world view of PC, no matter how hypocritical it is. It's a power game with them. I would apologize to any of them for anything. They have no sense of humor. When they come after you, double down, or you will be toast ("their bitch" is what I really wanted to say but I remember someone complaining about this word recently). Sheesh!

You know how eager the democraps are to work with Trump. When they finally did Pelosi tried putting a $Billion dollar for abortions waver in the bill. Getting a picture yet? This is what Trump's had all of his presidency. He was going to let the DACA program work, they wouldn't come to the table. Want an irony? a few really. Both Clintons and Soros are in the really high-risk group for Corona. I think the hag already has MS.
