MTG wanted the House to censure Omar for, basically, speaking. Fortunately, they came to their senses and igged her resolution. But she's in Congress to waste time. Not ready to accomplish anything. Can't wait till next year at this time where she can realize just how powerless she is.
Meantime, enjoy the apropos, as PT would say, moosic...

Violence is the answer, as long as the ones doing it is on the right.

At least they're consistent. Regardless of evidence, or lack thereof they are going to either let Trump off the hook, or sham impeach Biden.

On My Twitter feed: "DETRANS: The Story of Detransitioners. Promoted by Prager U" 🤨 Some fun stats: - detransition rates range from 1% to 8% - the larger range includes those who detransition *temporarily*. The majority who detransition are detransitioning temporarily - trans women have a much higher rate of detransitioning than trans men. It's worth noting that gender dysphoria is far more prevalent in genetic males though I do wonder about sexism especially since I see far more use of gender neutral pronouns by cis women.... - 3 of the top 4 reasons cited for detransitioning (multi-select, though none were more than a third) could basically be grouped as "societal pressure" (pressure from parents, harassment, difficulty finding a job) academic.oup.com/jcem/article/107/10/e4261/6604653

Of Little Faith Following the bizarre bloodletting in the Republican House caucus over the last few weeks, the relatively unknown Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana has been elevated to the powerful position of Speaker of the House. There are a lot of things we don’t know about the man who’s now second in line to the presidency — like whether or not he actually has a bank account or any financial assets as he tries to gut the IRS in his first act — and sadly much of the media is writing gauzy puff pieces where they don’t just go to a diner to ask about him, they literally interview his own mother for insights. Speaker Johnson has done a lot to keep his personal views hidden, telling reporters asking about his worldview: “Go pick up a Bible.” That’s both a huge humblebrag, implying that all his earthly actions are in accordance with the literal word of God, and a disingenuous dodge that obscures the practical details of his politics... kevinmkruse.substack.com/p/of-little-faith

Or maybe it had to do with - Depleted coffers with vanishing trade routs Too much land in the hands of ultra rich landowners Too much corruption due to inability to manage a massive Empire, leading it to split in two Outside pressure from new nomadic threats Overreliance on mercenaries instead of domestic soldiers Poor leadership Multiple civil wars Pax Romana - one of the things that allowed for Rome to continue to grow and subdue its neighbors, were their continued expansion and enslavement (much of their internal economy depended on slavery). Pax Romana stopped further expansion and slowly eroded the economy and allowed for outside threats to grow in strength.
I have yet to read any historic books that hinted to too much gayness.
Incidentally. It appears that Alexander the Great was either gay or bisexual, which was common back in the days. It didn't stop him from conquering the 'known' world.
I don't expect Mike Johnson to either know history or be honest about it, but I find it fascinated just how hyper focused these men are on homosexuality. It is almost like they're trying to tell us something.

Not to go on a tangent. But they've been screaming border security for as long as I can remember. Except for during Trump. Not that it actually changed anything. Trump didn't actually do much for border security other then waste money on erecting shitty walls, the same policies exist today (minus the whole separation of children and parents and then the incompetence of having any fucking idea where the children was shipped). GOP is a one trick pony. They convince the idiot locust that the border is wide open every time Dems take over (no change in budget, no change in policy, but different) and that this is the most important thing ever. Not better job security. Not better infrastructure. Not better healthcare. Not cheaper pharmaceuticals. No. Brown folks making 5 cents on the dollar picking lettuce.

Many of them likely don't know where they are as a person yet. Could be that they are fluid, and Dennis is tryna exploit them.

Many of them likely don't know where they are as a person yet. Could be that they are fluid, and Dennis is tryna exploit them. What I find interesting and why I don't give one single shit about Pragers and other idiot right arguments, is that at the same time as they talk about the few that de-transition using the actual data collected, they either deny or simply ignore the data about the majority of people who transitions successful and live much happier lives. If you use the same data to ignore most of it, while making arguments about some of it, you're not intellectually honest and worthy of actual rebuttal. He can get fucked.

The ironic thing is that Biden has released financials dating back a good while, including the regular stuff candidates do when they run for President. Something Trump refused since his shit is so illegal.
So this lying sack of turds could easily verify their actual fortune, which is public (some 11 mill I think) and is availably through their financial information they have received.
But that suggest that GOP is honest about this. And they're not. So why even listen to liars? Why bother? Remember, these are the automatic law and order, family values guys. That is all they run on and so far is incapable of follow the law, or stop themselves from making shit up. So if you can't live up to the basic bumpersticker they're all tramp stamped with, why bother?

I found this interesting. She took a Jim Crow era literacy test, designed to make it impossible for minorities to vote. Something the right want to introduce again, because they're incapable of either reaching out to regular folks without racism and all that shit, and because they have no competing policy ideas.

Trump and his kids want us to believe two things:
The Trump Organization is a multi-billion dollar enterprise with interests across the globe.
Also, no one actually runs it other than a couple of dodgy accountants in the backroom. - John Reeves
