How was it? I feel reluctant to see it.

Now it's corporations selling an ideology. I thought it was schools. You see to have your own ideology, one grounded in the idea that things were better in the good old days.

It's not "ideology" that schools teach. You should look at the social media kids consume for how ideas spread. For that matter, adults are picking up a lot of foul ideas from the electronic streets as well. Your school experience should not be the standard; knowledge doesn't & shouldn't stand still.

You don't understand. A lot of these kids will kill themselves. Maybe accepting who and what they are is everyone else's job.

An expert on body language, too, huh. In slo-mo. It's amazing what this religion junkie can discern through his addiction haze.

For the 1st time in 249 years, the Human Rights Watch List cited the US as a nation 'Sliding deeper into the quicksands of authoritarianism'.

I wouldn't worry too much. We're a big country with a lot of people capable of keeping track of the moving parts and getting the word out.

I blame the artists who insisted on writing all over their works and putting long explanation cards next to the works. It would be helpful to be illiterate to appreciate art when this started.

Young, impressionable kids are watching you and the other members of your party, led by the Orange Menace, lie through their teeth and use the Constitution as toilet paper.

Must the Speaker swear her in? I'm sure someone else can do it, since the rule book seems to have been torn up.

They are NOT enforcing the law. What they are doing is what is risking their humanity, not the people pointing it out.

So why even try? Why not put pressure on the Speaker? They're full of sh_t.

Marilyn @stealthbirder.bsky.social · 11h

This is hilarious!

Isn't necessarily the answer? But it could be? You're a wimp, Rand.

Is everyone losing their minds?

What does that mean, "jail break"? They'll flee the country?

Interesting idea. But she'd probably be arrested.

Marilyn @stealthbirder.bsky.social · 13h

Yes, I say we usurp the power of the Speaker and get this done.

Doesn't respect the pedestrian-in-the-walkway law. Get angry that he had to delay five seconds to stop and cuss her out.

The people who were booing were not Dems/liberals. We have bigots in every state.
