And with this thinking and behavior, we may never get a woman president.
This thinking makes it harder for women to succeed in life and get the recognition that they are due.

I'll never support a woman just because she's a woman. Hell, I hold them to a higher level than I do men so when they fuck up I hit them harder. Metaphorically speaking of course. I don't actually hit people.

It's weird that the guy who made the spyware app that Mike Johnson uses to spy on his son's porn-watching, and vice versa, was found to have a stash of CSAM and that just blipped right out of the news.

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.

Maybe l, if you arrest the "feds" the violence would stop.

Question about ICE. In the coverage I’ve seen of ICE outrages, I haven’t seen a single female agent. Do they exist, or does ICE only recruit men?

REPORTER: Do you support repealing Obamacare and what's your healthcare plan?

MIKE JOHNSON: We worked on repealing and replacing Obamacare back in 2017. I still have PTSD from the experience. We know that American healthcare needs dramatic reform. We have lots of ideas.

(So, no plan)

I spent $175 for food yesterday. For a week for just me. And it really doesn't look like much.

My friend spent over $400 for a week for 4 adults. And their electric bill went up $40 from last month.

So.much for lowering food and electric costs. (GA)

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Sorry, but what Katie said is the truth. Why does that change anyone's view or vote?!? Are people that dumb and thin skinned that a woman saying something factual is too much for them?

If CDC pushes back, ask to speak with the Privacy Officer (fired). The contract between CDC and jurisdictions is premised on data protection. CDC has broken that contract with these firings and the reckless disregard for data privacy shown by HHS.

⚠️ STATES, LOCALS, TRIBAL NATIONS, TERRITORIES ⚠️

HHS has eliminated EVERY SINGLE SAFEGUARD FOR DATA PROTECTION AT CDC. Giving data to CDC is no longer safe and puts your residents at risk.

Unless and until all CDC’s data protections are restored you should consider CDC a bad actor.
