There are indigenous people preparing for the good fight too, maybe you should have a word?
Given how much Trump used to try to look like Custer, they'd be useful allies, and they're getting together to plan their approach. With well-qualified lawyers.
Given the way there's no proper government in the US any more, they could make an interesting contribution to the recovery.
We learned in our program and I am friends with a fluent speaker who speaks the language to me a lot. I know enough to introduce myself and a few other key phrases.
I’m looking for ProPublica or other independent journalist to thoroughly investigate sanctimonious Covenant 👀 Johnson and his sons (both) and his purity pledge with his daughter. Doubt the slime ball truly is the goody two shoes he pretends to be.
His “adopted” son Michael supposedly requested he be left out of family bio but Good Christian Father Mike mentions him when politically needed. After run ins with police, lives “privately” somewhere in Los Angeles with his own family. Hope his quid pro quo with daddy is ALOT of $$$$$. Of course, that’s questionable since daddy supposedly doesn’t have a bank account…
::blink:: What? He doesn't have a bank account? /boggle
What does he have, a credit union for federal employees? I bet they love him there, since you have to be a millionaire at least to be elected to anything as high as a Congressperson in this country. X-P
(That's another reform we need, to take a page out of other First World countries' books: limit to a fixed amount the "war chest" every politician has to draw upon [if need be, fund everyone equally, paid for by taxes that won't go to billionaires for their tax breaks]. Limit the time and media allowed for campaigning. And for the love of You, God, please smite that stupid /Citizens United/ decision out of our law books!)
But still! Well, perhaps there should be another amendment to the constitution, stating that people in the admin must do their jobs, per their job descriptions, or be fired. ALL of them.
What I would like to see after this shit-show is over is that anyone who's up for being appointed (not directly voted for) has got to be legitimately qualified for the post.
Surgeon Generals and heads of the CDC (and HHS in general) MUST be medical doctors, complete with their licenses still intact, and in good standing with their medical boards. Preferably published in peer-reviewed journals, though not necessarily a requirement.
The Secretary of Defense (not WAR) needs to be a general or admiral, some kind of ranking position. Possibly retired, but not dishonorably discharged. Just someone used to running lots of military personnel and experience in the field. X-P
The various lawyers being appointed Federal judges here and there must have a) legal licenses to practice still, not disbarred anywhere; b) considerable experience in what their jobs would entail.
Supreme Court justices MUST be specialists in Constitutional law (and ideally have a backbone not made of custard), since THAT IS THEIR JOB. If any decisions based on science must be made, maybe we need a Science Court to do that instead, since those S. C. boneheads probably haven't taken a science course since their first year in college and have absolutely NO business making any decisions based on that. Oh, and all Federal judges, including Supreme Court ones, need term limits (Congress could decide that, like they decide the actual number of SC judges).
Anyone wanting to run for an elected public office, be it a dog catcher or school board member on up to President, needs to be able to take and pass the same sort of civics test that someone wanting to be a U.S. citizen has to. (I'm halfway tempted to suggest that as a requirement to VOTE, too...)
God, as you well know, being God, my husband and my country died within a month of each other. My bandwidth is somewhat limited even now. But you give me hope and a reason to keep living. Thank you.
Jesus, Musk AND Thiel got name checked in there? Might be some hope to claw back a bit of privacy yet! If we can confiscate their assets and dump them off in federal prison for a long while, Palantir might just go fuckity bye...
Why would our God bother subscribing to that antediluvian male and female rubbish? Or the gotta-pair-up-and-breed stuff? He's got all of us! And Jesus, who is gorgeous and great company. Our God is probably the supernatural equivalent of a cat lady, with a sanctum full of fluffy pet stray cherubs who sit on his shoulders, nibble his biscuits, parrot his phrases ("Smite 'em! Smite!") and poop all down his back.
Yep; watch the movie "Dogma" (though ignore the blond male twat; he's such an irritant, and Kevin Smith was the only one who'd get him work in Hollywood...). One of the main character's helpers, Rufus (the 13th Apostle, ignored by the Bible since he was black, played by Chris Rock), says that God isn't male or female. Another helper, Serendipity, played by Selma Hayek, tells the lead [spoiler!] "See? I /told/ you She was female!" (though we'd seen God at the beginning of the movie, as an older looking fellow with a white beard...
My fave character has still got to be The Metatron [the Voice of God], played by Alan Rickman superbly. One of my favorite scenes in the whole thing is the Lake at Night Scene, which is kind of spoilery if you haven't seen the movie before [takes place around 1 hour 21 minutes into the movie]; those who have know what I'm taking about. That summed the movie's philosophy up pretty well, I think.)
(P.S. Don't bother with the "recreated" scene on YouTube; it sucks [rather like Barney and Friends doing a cover of the Beatles' "Let It Be"]. Can't find the scene with the original actors anywhere on YouTube, though. :-/)
Yeah, well, YouTube now promotes choice on whether you buckle up your safety belt. No thanks, YT. The world still has far too many idiots in it for MY auto insurance.
You are welcome. fact is I am 78 years old now and so far no one has ever been able to shut me. I go that trait from both sides of my family, then I became a nurse!
And, even though my folks came from rural America, they were Democrats and I can prove it.
Stand strong, buckle your seat-belt, this roller coaster is about to get bumpy!
Especially in the South, there was a time when the Democrats were "the nuts"...with a few notable exceptions, like FDR and JFK (and RFK Sr.)...come to think, that lot were from the North... ;)
Free Speech IS of UTMOST importance in our country today and it should be Free Speech for EVERYONE not just a few. Freedom of the Press is also party of that amendment and the Right to participate in peaceful demonstrations!
Speaking as someone half a world away: the US has always been and is supposed to be LOUD. It's the birthplace of Hollywood, for heck's sake.
It's supposed to rock the planet daily with laughter and argument and discovery, belligerence, grace, love, genius and satire.
Unfortunately a smelly, greasy, orange-painted little lintball wasn't properly cleaned away from so-called "reality TV" a while back and it's trying to take over the planet … and reduce all your voices to one: its own whiny verbal diarrhoeal droning.
Stand firm! We can out-whine, out-drone and be even more dire-reary than that pathetic lump of foulth! Go to it. And have a good weekend.

Native Americans were here first. You go Jacky! I'm with you.
Yeah, isn't it amazing how the folks that squawk about "We were here FIRST!!!" don't recognize the actual First Nations...? :-/
(interesting lines from Stan Freberg's "United States of America" musical, with the Pilgrims/Puritans singing:
"We know everyone can't be
As American as we...
[spoken]
After all! WE came over on the MAYFLOWER! :D")
Nishin! I'm also studying Indigenous social work. This is my last year. Good luck in school, niichii!!!

It's morning here now, and You're better than coffee today.
Unfortuately, "Moses" Johnson has refused to swear in the new AZ rep.
The coward that says he's christian is a POS MAGA creep. Smote him, please dear God.
It's been a great week for the 1st Amendment, and a bad week for the Epstein pedophiles.
I’m looking for ProPublica or other independent journalist to thoroughly investigate sanctimonious Covenant 👀 Johnson and his sons (both) and his purity pledge with his daughter. Doubt the slime ball truly is the goody two shoes he pretends to be.
Yes! Almost every picture of him has a evil smirk.
And his porn pledge with his son, WTF!
As to the other "son" where is he, why is he silent, is he alive?
His “adopted” son Michael supposedly requested he be left out of family bio but Good Christian Father Mike mentions him when politically needed. After run ins with police, lives “privately” somewhere in Los Angeles with his own family. Hope his quid pro quo with daddy is ALOT of $$$$$. Of course, that’s questionable since daddy supposedly doesn’t have a bank account…
That's "Moses '" story, correct? Another reason to question his honesty.
Exactly. Hope a expose reveals his social truth SOON. Don’t trust anything he spews.
::blink:: What? He doesn't have a bank account? /boggle
What does he have, a credit union for federal employees? I bet they love him there, since you have to be a millionaire at least to be elected to anything as high as a Congressperson in this country. X-P

Weird, huh?!?!?! We need a fearless journalist to investigate him fully.
I’m sorry, Johnson did WHAT???
He has not sworn in the new member because she would be the 218th vote to release the files.
He’s a fucking COWARD!
Creepy “Moses” Mikey.
Christian My ARSE! 🤬🤬
💯
I'm thinking he might be in the files.
Or someone close to him, yes.
That is disgusting and infuriating. How can these people refuse to do their damn jobs???
Because they hate democracy?
But still! Well, perhaps there should be another amendment to the constitution, stating that people in the admin must do their jobs, per their job descriptions, or be fired. ALL of them.
They swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, meaning the should do their jobs.
But, they've neglected that oath & instead uphold the oligarchs.

I agree with you 100! Yes, release the Epstein files list(all of them) and I do not care who is on that list.
God, as you well know, being God, my husband and my country died within a month of each other. My bandwidth is somewhat limited even now. But you give me hope and a reason to keep living. Thank you.

We have hope, MAGA sells hate. Kai Trump merches signature $130 KT sweatshirts from the Whitr House.
Jesus, Musk AND Thiel got name checked in there? Might be some hope to claw back a bit of privacy yet! If we can confiscate their assets and dump them off in federal prison for a long while, Palantir might just go fuckity bye...
I do love you, God. But, I'm curious. Where is Goddess in all of this?
Why would our God bother subscribing to that antediluvian male and female rubbish? Or the gotta-pair-up-and-breed stuff? He's got all of us! And Jesus, who is gorgeous and great company. Our God is probably the supernatural equivalent of a cat lady, with a sanctum full of fluffy pet stray cherubs who sit on his shoulders, nibble his biscuits, parrot his phrases ("Smite 'em!

Ashera?
Yes, yes God. Did you hear that John Cleese is touring with the 50th anniversary of Monty Python—speaking of laughter?
❤️ you God, have a great weekend!
Yeah, well, YouTube now promotes choice on whether you buckle up your safety belt. No thanks, YT. The world still has far too many idiots in it for MY auto insurance.
Come to California! :D It's mandatory here, and has been for decades. :)
(Seat belt wearing, that is...)
You are welcome. fact is I am 78 years old now and so far no one has ever been able to shut me. I go that trait from both sides of my family, then I became a nurse!

Heyoka Hey. 👏 ✌🏼
🤗
As ever, Beloved One of One, Your Divine Gift of Free Will proves we are worth it.
Not all abuse this privilege of Life, Liberty, and the ever wondrous Pursuit of Happiness😇
Free to speak what boggles the mind/heart; to express a personal opinion/belief -- to deny another that same freedom IS UNAMERICAN.
Blessed IS as Blessed Does😇😂
Also, God Thank You for the Rain😘😂
