Grieving Missouri ex-pat. Dabbles in quizbowl and trivia sometimes. Loves road trips, bad food, and hard country music. Some have called me "The Missouri Gentleman;" YMMV.

Impeachment is a waste of time. No amount of Republicans will ever vote to convict Trump. If only because such a vote is instant political suicide and will induce death threats from hysterical MAGAs.

This tactic has been used for years to detain so-called "troubled teens" and send them to Christian boarding schools in red states. Where they're beaten and often sexually assaulted. We've been ignoring that one for two generations.

You cannot be a Christian and support Christian boarding schools in red states who beat and rape kids. But a lot of them do it anyway.

I live in the D.C. area and I wanted to go, but I was stuck in bed all of last week. 🤒 Would ordering a copy of Sloppy make a good form of penance?

I've never been able to do some of the things I wanted: Live life without my mental health crippling me, promiscuous sex, etc.
But there's two things I can do and do often: Eating lots of bad food and going on the road.
Am I doing this right?? 🙂

Right-wing Christians beating children goes back further than that, but the Republicans have tried to cover it up. Notice the ongoing struggle in Missouri (dominated by starkly fascist right-wing Christians) to get any Republican authority to do ANYTHING about their Christian boarding schools.
