They were grown men aged 20 to 40. Two Trump administration employees and a state senator from Vermont.

All leaders of the Young Republicans.

Except for hanging a plaque to honor them. Mike Johnson won’t do that.

It will be dark earlier at 5 pm and it will be brighter when you get up in the morning.

Unless you wake up at 5 pm you should find it more light when you wake up.

I already said that, dimwit.

Read my posts.

I didn’t have room to state the obvious. You are talking to an attorney who has litigated cases under the Civil Rights Act, you arrogant prick.

Failing to capitalize the “b” isn’t racist. And I said “I’m learning.”

While you are over here shooting at your own friends, Young Republicans were just caught using the words f****t, retarded and n***** 251 times in a group chat, numpty.

Stay focused.

“Mary Lou (if indeed that is your name) you are a stupid little racist whose opinions now no longer matter because you have proven what a worthless excuse for a human being you are.
I think you're really a chubby Bernie Bro.”

Is this you? Ten insults in one sentence. That’s gotta beat your record.

Democrats from the South in 1964 began to call themselves “Dixiecrats.” Eventually they flipped to become Republicans.

Black Republicans largely became Democrats after 64.

95% of elected Black representatives in Congress after 1973 were Democrats.

I’m catching on slowly.

marylougrier1.bsky.social @marylougrier1.bsky.social · 21h

That’s the pot calling the kettle black.

[Should I have capitalized the “b?” Someone might call me a racist! What will I ever do?]

marylougrier1.bsky.social @marylougrier1.bsky.social · 21h

Why do you capitalize the “b,” but not the “w?”

I’m just trying to learn the rules.

I thought the Capital “B” was for Black PEOPLE. I wasn’t talking about “Black” people, I was using “black” as an adjective like green or white or brown.

Are you a lawyer?

marylougrier1.bsky.social @marylougrier1.bsky.social · 21h

Black people aren’t the only progressives in this country. That’s objectively false.

You betray people like Joyce Vance who fight against white supremacy everyday by attacking them simply for not being black.

Shame on you.

marylougrier1.bsky.social @marylougrier1.bsky.social · 21h

Excuse me for using the word “blacks” instead of “Black people”
with a capital “B.”

You also have a chip on your shoulder. Yours is bigger than Mount Thor.
