Not a ringing endorsement for a restaurant - a head chef with the last name ‘Gruel.’

amazing. and the really insane stuff is in the "click to expand" in the quoted text

On Wednesday, Samsel, R-Wellsville, was substitute teaching at the Wellsville school district’s secondary school. Throughout the day, high school students began recording videos of the lawmaker talking about suicide, sex, masturbation, God and the Bible. In one video shared with The Star, Samsel tells students about “a sophomore who’s tried killing himself three times,” adding that it was because “he has two parents and they’re both females.” In another video, Samsel is recorded telling students, “make babies. Who likes making babies? That feels good, doesn’t it? Procreate. ... You haven’t masturbated? Don’t answer that question....God already knows.”
...
At one point, Samsel tells the student, “You’re about ready to anger me and get the wrath of God. Do you believe me when I tell you that God has been speaking to me?” He then pushes him, and the student runs to the other side of the classroom.

“You should run and scream.”

In another video, he tells students, “Class, you have permission to kick him in the balls.”

Parents told The Star that Samsel “put hands on the student” and allegedly kneed him in the crotch. In a video apparently taken immediately after the incident, the student is shown on the ground. Samsel is standing over him and says, “did it hurt?”

He then asks him why he is about to start crying, pats him on the shoulder and apologizes, and then says he can “go to the nurse, she can check it for you.”

Samsel addresses another student and says, “do you want to check his nuts for him, please?”

Why do they look like miniature people? Even their furniture looks small.

Right wingers will claim that picture is fake, just like they claim the OBL Situation Room picture is fake because Obama’s head was small.

I'm confused watching CNN right now. Is Liz Cheney some kind of hero now?

And she voted against her own sister being able to get married? What a great human being...

Trumpism is the new conservatism. That trumps all

In their eyes, Trump was a champion of LGBTQ rights because Richard Grenell. Or something.

Can’t wait til they flog Liz with that.

No wonder they really think democrats are socialists. I wonder what they call the communist party (I'm assuming there's one in america).

Tennessee state Rep. Justin Lafferty (R) on Tuesday argued that the three-fifths compromise should be held up as a positive but "bitter" part of U.S. history when arguing for a bill that would prohibit critical race theory from being taught in Tennessee public schools.


The lawmaker went on to argue that the agreement to count three-fifths of a slave population when determining taxation and representation in the U.S. House was intended to help end slavery “well before Abraham Lincoln. Well before Civil War.”

He said it “was a direct effort to ensure that southern states never got the population necessary to continue the practice of slavery everywhere else in the country” by limiting the number of representatives slave-owning states had in Congress.

Or, you know, they could have just ended slavery.

There’s absolutely no doubt that everyone who supports this law is ‘pro-life,’ none at all.

No wonder they have come up with this bill, it’s been ten years since they executed someone.

That’s a long, long, long time to edge.

Went down a quick rabbit hole through a name in that article. This is amazing...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Stinney

This is easily the most surreal line in that article:

Stinney was executed on June 16, 1944, at 7:30 p.m. He was prepared for execution by electric chair, using a Bible as a booster seat because Stinney was too small for the chair.[15]

I could only imagine how many volunteered their family bibles to be the one that propped him up. Imagine the honor that person felt having that bible on the mantel.
