Tuberville mk. 2...

Its hard to believe a black man who takes that position cares about the black community, or knows the history of his people in the country. I suppose it shouldn't surprise me to see such a thing, but this guy has access to all the resources be could want to get on the right side of history.

At the very least, he certainly doesn't know the history of the black community as he kept referring to Lewis as a senator.

I'll be interested in his opinion after he spends 6 months in solitary.

Jails in Texas are fighting to be allowed to keep prisoners in 100+ degrees conditions without air conditioning, these guys like the idea of torturing prisoners.

Arpaio mk. 2.

Are the Texas jails wanting the inmates to wear pink uniforms as well?

Republican politicians aren't big on believing what they say. Remarkable how they show up everyday on the news with the same talking points for decades now, just happen to agree with the legislation handed to them by ALEC or The Heritage Foundation.

Their job is to make the elitist agenda sound like Christian libertarianism, which isn't hard with a population who aren't taught critical thinking in school.

Again and again we have to say it. This is what happens when you continually dismiss rhetoric as "playing to the base". You normalise increasingly violent rhetoric. Jan 6th was a call to arms for these people and they aren't going away.

The bill bans all books "that make as their primary subject the study of sex, sexual preferences, sexual activity, sexual perversion, sex-based classifications, sexual identity, or gender identity or books that are of a sexual nature that a reasonable parent or legal guardian would want to know of or approve of prior to their child being exposed to it."

A school employee who fails to remove the book within 30 days of the request "shall be dismissed or not reemployed."

Nothing to see here

That's the Bible gone unless they rip out Psalms.

The bible will be the first to go or is there a clause that prevents that.

Not sure if this belongs here, or in the Elon thread - but this is something that Bernie and co need to close ASAP

Is everybody here a Democrat??

Seems statistically unlikely, but guess it's easier to rip on GOP then DEMS and ignore their utter incompetence.

DeSantis 2024.

Biden is not in charge and Harris is an unhinged, unlikeable (even by her own party, less than 1% support in CA primary) hyena.
Who the heck do Dems turn to in 2024?

It's like an echo chamber in here reading over the pages.
Just so many echoing the oh so unbiased news outlets talking points.

I'm here for the answer to this.

Also, I think you will find that the majority of left leaning (American) posters on here are not rah-rah Democrats. The majority of us, I think, hold our nose and roll with it because it's sure as hell better than the alternative but nowhere close to what we want.
