It used to be politicians would act and vote in a way that would represent their constituents, or their own values and positions.

Jeff Beck – A Day in the House, in case it doesn’t work

Repugs and wing-nuts are now clamoring and demanding to get both doses and a booster in the same day because it’s their right, their Freedom!  It’s In The Constitution!!!

Two things I learned from that experience.

Don’t own a rental property and Don’t own your own business.   😀

We are far from millionaires.

They are richer on paper, if the price of houses stays up, or they can sell, they did way better than a year’s rent

I’d think they would have to disclose the current renters history.  How easy would that be to sell?

Other than to big corporations at below market, because they can weather the storm better than Larry the Landlord.

Thanks Joe!  &#x…[Read more]

I wonder who leaked this May 2021 CDC report to WP?

The Biden administration had access to the fundamental conclusions of the CDC’s report when it called for the end of masking and social distancing in May.  Biden administration officials knowingly and with criminal intent encouraged measures that they knew would lead to a resurgence of the pa…

according to the CDC this is a Biden lie

President Joe Biden’s claim on July 22 that vaccinated people do not spread COVID-19—“You’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations.”

He was just trying to communicate to the Right in their own language.

Land Of The Free, Home of the Brave, The Great American Dream, Opportunity for everyone….. eh?

Yes, even in Alabama they are free, if they are brave enough, to find a new opportunity to reach for the great American dream.

I hear Amazon is hiring.

Strikes all around the country not reported in the media

When we upgrade, we’ll have like buttons. Mrmhead would have got one from me on this thread

I like like buttons

Very much so. In your shit music, food, fashion, language and narcissism.

OK @djtexas  What has your little corner of the world contributed? – wherever you may be, if you dare to divulge.

If the appropriation is for exploitation – just for money, fame, etc – then, Yes it is wrong.

If it’s simply for interest or admiration, “Imitation is the best compliment” … or something like that.

Something in between?  It depends.

 I hit my 30’s, and for some reason which I could never recall, I questioned my beliefs in whether a God existed or not. The idea of an omniscient/omnipotent/ immortal spoiled child made no sense to me so I fell back to the beliefs of my birth. I became an Atheist. If everything I believed to be true was wrong, would I want to know? For me, it wa…

I have little pity for the anti-vax / anti-mask crowd – mrm

Same here. They are so numerous though (at least in my state) that they make every person, including the smart ones who got vaccinated, who lives in a hot state look bad. However, even though they will take a tiny number of vaccinated people with them, I have a feel there will be a lot…

Yes, there is Climate Change. The way to fix that is simple, get rid of the people.

If you don’t want to do that. Then change with the weather. And that is what we are going to have to do.

We repeatedly see news spots of parents, spouses or siblings crying that they were wrong to not take the vax, now that their loved one has died.

Of course, if those stories ever made it into the social media circus, they’d be shouted down as Fake News.

Cars stranded in streets turned to rivers. Bus passengers rescued by raft. Train stations submerged, sparking travel chaos.

That’s the fad lately – on both extremes of the spectrum.

What completely boggled me was that you took it to that context:

CRT takes things to a whole new level using anti-white rhetoric as though only white people can be racist. There is no focus across the board regarding ALL races.

(as I understand it)

It’s not saying who is racist and who isn’t.

It’s about the laws and policies … and btw – who, historically, made the laws and policies? – Old White Men.

Join the military to get a free gender change operation

And then compete in the Olympics as a female to win a Gold Medal!

That should have been my plan all along 😥

Are the voting restriction laws by the GOP an example of CRT?

The laws are written “color-blind”, but as the Liberals claim, it is directed at the black community.

How does this keep them ignorant?

Denying them the opportunity to learn a particular aspect of history.

Do you want to just teach them the “pretty white history of America”?

I have elementary school age kids too and would definitely pull them out of the system if need be.

Yeah, you’ll even hear that Moscow Mitch has realized it’s killing his voters, so now even he has had a change of heart.

I was wondering how long it would take them to come to that realization

CRT is a derivative of CT:   it argues that social problems are influenced and created more by societal structures and cultural assumptions than by individual and psychological factors.
So are we supposed to think that societal structures and cultural assumptions don’t influence individuals and psychological factors?

And how would you accomplish that?

This however does only shift the question from being evolution based to: Are the laws of physics an actual inteligence themselves? For such (and emerging stuff) to be labeled as inteligent every now and then. Frankly I’d say thats not he case becasue they don’t have the patern that would be recognized inteligent as we know it.

I presume by “This” you mean the Sovereign Citizen Movement.

So how is the SCM fascism?

It would be like turning an axis of orientation on it’s side.

Those participating would be supporting the funding of social programs.

It lasted 15 years.
