Not being paid a living wage is theft.
Taxation is cooperative living as part of a community.

I always let my grandchildren (& children) off the hook if they didn’t want hugs or physical contact because I wasn’t allowed to have personal boundaries when I was a child & guess what?
I was molested by a family elder & while it was happening I was afraid of offending him by trying to get away.

If so many Reps are unhappy wouldn’t they have enough votes to simply remove Johnson as speaker?
I think it only takes 9, right?
Are the numbers too small or is there something else that would prevent them from replacing Johnson? Too risky? It seems like leaving office would be the last resort.

Your link goes to an article about a glyph that was discovered that unlocks a key to the Mayan Calendar.
Oh - and it’s in Spanish.

Bondi, Patel, et al were the perfect marks for the consummate con man. Trump played on their greed & thirst for power. They have now lied & run interference for him so they see that their necks are on the line.
He destroys everyone who works for him in one way or another. They should’ve known better

I’m am trying to wrap my brain around why Mike Johnson is so unwavering in his attempts to keep the public from knowing what is in the Epstein investigation files.
Is the Project 2025/Christian Nationalist agenda really so urgent that he’ll hang his ass out?
Or is Trump blackmailing him somehow?

I have a 40-yr-old who is 100% dependent.
The paperwork, the red-tape, the constant fear of supports being revoked leaving you to scramble once again.
And above all, what happens when I can no longer do it for her? What happens when I die?

I guess it shouldn’t be shocking how & why our true history was glossed over in the telling. But it does our nation & it’s citizens no favors when the truth is hidden.
Ken Burns has done a fantastic job. If we truly understand our past, perhaps we can move forward with a better future.

Johnson bought Trump & Bondi enough time to scrub his mentions & release a new ‘investigation’
So they have the ’active investigation’ excuse as well as files that are very likely cleaned up for Trump’s sake.
So the Reps know it’s safe to vote yes now. They get a clean reputation & nothing happens.

The kid has spunk. I would have struggled to keep from giggling.
Recently I was playing a board game with my grandkids when the 6 year old - feeling the pressure to make a decision said, “Just let me cook.” I nearly lost it.

The problem with believing the women is that we know that Epstein, Maxwell & Trump have all successfully threatened their victims. If I were one of the women involved I would be scared to speak up for fear I would end up dead or destroyed financially by lawsuits.

I watched Mr Rogers with my kids when they were growing up but I never saw this episode.
I was privileged to grow up with a father who was similarly kind and patient, especially with children.
I miss both those men.
The world needs more of them.

This is why victims don’t come forward, especially if they are children. They fear that the adults will take the side of the offender.
It’s an uncomfortable truth that there are too many Megyns out there.
This is what molesters rely on-pick a victim with less clout, disadvantaged girls are perfect.

I haven’t watched network/cable television since 2018.
But after reading the responses I’m triggered.
It’ll take me days to get rid of all the ear worms.

Good god, it’s contagious.
My upstairs neighbor went out walking his dogs dressed like this yesterday. I’ve seen this for a number of years now so I didn’t even bat an eye. It’s just what we do now.

Are they baggy shorts made out of super thin fabric worn with socks and slip-on sandals below? Because if not - Missouri sees you and raises you an ‘Ope!’

The Bernie supporters I know voted for Hillary & Biden in the main elections despite their dissapointment.
The same people who accuse ALL Bernie supporters of handing the election to Trump by not voting for Hillary are the same people who ignore the fact that more ‘PUMAs’ refused to vote for Obama.
