It may be how you are raised or maybe enjoying those who are different is the evolution? Though not everyone who travels becomes tolerant, in my experience.

Do you have a view on which comes first, the politics or the aversion to diversity? I feel becoming uncomfortable or even intolerant of differences must come first. The politics are a manifestation of that.
But where the discomfort comes from is not something I understand.

Topics Mike Johnson thinks are serious:

- Super Bowl halftime entertainer
- getting a Nobel Prize for Trump
- terrifying naked bike riders

Topics he thinks are not serious:

- Epstein Files
- domestic violence
- being able to keep the govt open
- the neutering of Congress

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

Apparently, the official GOP response to the leaked Young Republican chats is “come on, it’s not a big deal that these guys are using racial slurs and praising Hitler, that’s totally normal” and, uh, that sorta raises more questions?

I think this is the difference in understanding racism as an organizing principle in society vs understanding racism as the use of a few particular slurs.

It's been 22 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in. At what point will political reporters start calling this a constitutional crisis?

The thing about the Nazi chat is these people turned the country upside down and got a lot of people fired to be able to say those things in comfort.

Young republicans have always spoken like this. I’m so old, I recall when their only option was out loud. These are now the Boomers and X’s who resented PC (in the 80’s) and resent “woke” now. They would rather destroy the USA than be polite in public.

Republican Rep. Cory Mills allegedly threatened to release nude images of a 26-year-old woman and to harm her future boyfriends after she ended their relationship.

Now, a judge just ordered Mills, 45, not to come within 500 feet of the defendant & ruled that she is “a victim of dating violence.”

This is Chop. He was shot and killed by masked assailants in plain clothes who go by ICE. They showed up at his door "looking for migrants after receiving a tip." The son of the family asked if they could wait before entering the home while he put Chop away in the bathroom, as the dog can be aggressive with strangers.
According to the family, it is at this point that the son went to his pickup truck to retrieve his ID and a Border Patrol agent entered the home, opened the bathroom door, and shot Chop. None of the agents helped the family, who desperately tried to render aid to Chop, as he bled to death on the kitchen floor. Unsurprisingly, the agent who shot their dog then hid from them and refused to give his name. Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place.
Do not open your door for these fucking losers. Rest easy Chop

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

I would simply not use a national party body to intervene in a primary race and instead build infrastructure for the eventual nominee, trusting the choice of primary voters, but then again I lack the political acumen of people who have steered the party into its lowest ever modern approval rating.

Me Mexico 2021. Ye gods, I love Mexico at Mister Global so much. They never fail to disappoint and this is no exception. The whole ensemble is great but the combination of hot pink and the blues is delicious. *Plus* they've jazzed up his dance belt/jockstrap too so it matches the outfit.

Mister Global Mexico 2021 . He is wearing a huge headdress with a massive frill of pink and blue feathers, a feathered collar, feather wristguards, a large pink, blue and gold loincloth, feathered knee pads, a hugely long divided cloak and is holding a small shield with a face on it and blue feather trim
