Go to Hell if you think you are fighting the GOP with this sackless crap.
A man, too old to fight, too tired to know better, thinking that changing the name of a bill that will kill Americans is how to defeat it.

Yes, and let us not forget how people peacefully protesting are treated.

The GOP is guilty of murder
Engels on 'Social Murder' When one individual inflicts bodily injury upon another, such injury that death results, we call that deed manslaughter; when the assailant knew in advance that injury would be fatal, we call that murder. But when society places hundreds of proletarians in such a position that they inevitably meet a too early and unnatural death, one which is quite as much a death by violence as that by the sword or bullet; when it deprives thousands of the necessaries of life, places them under conditions in which they cannot live- forces them... to remain in such conditions until that death ensures which is the inevitable consequence- knows that these thousands of victims must perish, and yet permits these conditions to remain, its deed is murder just as surely as the deed of the individual ...

Just gonna leave this here.
Quote by Isaac Asimov, "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge".

If you take money from a lobby that is active in denying genocide is occurring, you become complicit in that genocide by accepting that money. We must demand our politicians don't accept money from the only foreign lobby allowed to contribute to politicians. Why is Israel the only nation doing this?
Pete Buttigieg accepted $191,215 from the Pro-Israel lobby.

Yet, all you Dems stay silent on genocide 🖕
Children are starving to death in Palestine but the Dems have been bought out by Netanyahu.

Considering he has been paid off by Netanyahu to encourage genocide, are you really that surprised?

I mean... he is taking money to sell US weapons to Israel so they can commit genocide. Why are you all surprised about Kushner
Senator Cory Booker was paid $871,563 to see babies blown to ribbons by US weapons that Israel was sold.

We don't want our taxes going to genocide. Why do you?
Rep. Scholten has received $346,428 to stay quiet on the genocide of Palestinian men, women, and children.

@scholten.house.gov I don't support genocide. I deplore it. Therefore... you are not getting my vote.
A ghoulishly smiling supporter of genocide Rep. Scholten is cheap when it comes to paying her off to stay quiet on genocide.

Here is why @booker.senate.gov stays silent on genocide:

Supplying Israel with more bombs to kill civilians in Gaza is not a winning strategy against Trump.
Cory Booker smiling ghoulishly in a moment of moral clarity voted to send 35,000 more bombs to Israel to kill children in Gaza.

Just gonna leave this here. Honestly, being disabled myself and having loved ones in wheelchairs... they say the same things. Go after her voting records on Israel and Gaza... that is what needs to be condemned. Yeah, the "hot wheels" was more lame than anything.
The Paradox of Tolerance disappears if you look at tolerance, not as a moral standard, but as a social contract. If someone does not abide by the terms of the contract, then they are not covered by it. In other words: the intolerant are not following the rules of the social contract of mutual tolerance. Since they have broken the terms of the contract, they are no longer covered by the contract and their intolerance should NOT be tolerated. A response by Commasamelon: Sorry as someone who teaches rhetoric this is a wonderful response to the Paradox of Tolerance. I cannot tell you how many times my students have debated about this. This is the response. This does indeed fix it. I cannot wait to tell my classes about this now. Philosophically and rhetorically this resolved the Paradox of Tolerance and I am floored by the simplicity and angry I never saw it before.
