Two Parental Rights Victories and Freedom of Speech Under Threat by Ignorant Officials
Good News! This Month Old Bridge and Vineland both removed Policy 5756 from their district. This is a step in the right direction for parental rights. However, in Old Bridge it was a step in the WRONG direction for Freedom of Speech. Tensions rose at the Old Bridge BOE meeting when special guest Pastor John Amanchukwu, hailing from North Carolina, stepped up to the podium, facing heckling and jeers from some attendees representing the "tolerant left" of New Jersey.

Christian Nationalism Is *Single Biggest Threat* to America's religious freedoms,
MTG and the so-called Christian Nationalist are all hate mongers and bigots These bigots pushing this concept are scary and very sick people https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/these-midterms-republicans-run-against-first-amendment-n1299932?cid=sm_npd_ms_tw_ma One of the longest-standing principles of American democracy — the separation of church and state— is under attack by people embracing Christian nationalism.
Keith Olbermann FTW
Response to LisaM (Reply #6) Sun Oct 30, 2022, 04:30 PM 9. The media repeatedly brutalized Hillary in 2008. They found the most insane reasons for accusing her of doing something wrong. In Olbermann's case I believe they were called "Special Comments." After Hillary lost in 2016 it started up again, but this time it never stopped. For the first few years after the 2016 election it was like we were trapped in those 5 days between Iowa and New Hampshire in 2008.

Response to femmedem (Original post) Sun Oct 30, 2022, 02:13 PM 2. And in OH JD Vance is still running campaign spots where Speaker Pelosi's name is used like she .... ... some kind of devil. Look, I understand that people may disagree with the Speaker's views but she has every right in the world to say them because she ran and won telling everybody those exact same views. The right's view of free speech means you can't speak if you disagree with them.
Liz Cheney for president!?
No, I don't want her to be president (although she would be much better than most current Republicans), but if she runs as an Independent, she could likely take away a ton of votes from the MAGA GOP side, keeping Trump (or one of his diseased offspring) away from the presidency. Steve Schmidt agrees.

Response to MagaSmash (Original post) Sat Oct 22, 2022, 11:16 AM 9. FYI 65% OF THE GOVERNMENT REVENUE COMES FROM INDIVIDUAL HUMANS 🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕�� We have every right to expect a government that only exists because we fund it, To actually apply those funds to the citizens, And the undocumented workers, that help keep this country running. Because last I checked tax laws are written for the benefit of business owners to get out of paying taxes They only provide 35% of the government revenue.

She Had an Abortion With Herschel Walker. She Also Had a Child With Him.
Response to DemocraticPatriot (Original post) Wed Oct 5, 2022, 10:23 PM 1. BOOM. Last edited Thu Oct 6, 2022, 01:52 AM - Edit history (1) No way Walker denies this yesterday if he realized it was her, because he'd have known she had him dead to rights. There HAVE to be more women out there, and he had to have been thinking it was one of them instead -- and therefore he could still try to play the "plausible deniability" card, and maybe get away with it. This only gets worse for him from here.

Response to gab13by13 (Reply #8) Tue Oct 4, 2022, 02:54 PM 19. Maybe. I find it suggestive that some Oath Keepers are on trial this week for Seditious Conspiracy - a charge which is seldom brought and is complicated to prove. This trial has the potential for setting a precedent for beinging seditious conspiracy charges against others It may also provide practice for prosecutors.
Sept. 29: Trump begs for donations from Mar-a-Lago as Hurricane Ian wreaks destruction across Fla.
Apologies if anyone has already posted this. It's from Sept. 29, but I couldn't resist putting this up. He's got a lot of fucking nerve. From the Independent/By Gino Spocchia Donald Trump turned to social media to plead for donations to his political campaign as parts of Florida began rescue and recovery efforts following Hurricane Ian.

Actual US President Trump Wanted To Send 'Murderers,' 'Rapists' To Actual US Cities
https://www.wonkette.com/trump-sanctuary-cities Donald Trump reportedly is very annoyed with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who he believes stole his hilarious scheme to trick desperate migrants onto buses and ship them COD to wherever liberals congregate in large numbers. This is grotesque human trafficking but Trump sounds like a bitter comic who still complains that Robin Williams stole their material.

Zelensky calls to remove Russia from UN Security Council
Response to Tomconroy (Reply #18) Wed Sep 28, 2022, 08:34 AM 21. Semantics. If the General Assembly brings that up for a vote, and expelled Russia from the SC, I have no doubt that they would walk away from the UN. I also don't think the influence of the U.S., and other Western Democracies would allow a vote like that to come before the General Assembly, because of the unknown risk it would provide.

Trump's Fundraising Slows Dramatically
Response to Omnipresent (Reply #8) Wed Sep 21, 2022, 06:00 PM 16. He remembers his halcyon days... when he had Air Force One as his backdrop, national airports completely shut down for his rally, all the power in the world at his fingertips. Now he has an aged Lockheed Lodestar with "Archie's Crop Dusting" hand-painted on the side as his backdrop, the nations "Top Cops" chasing him down, feeling like re-heated three-day-old tuna-noodle casserole. Poor Donnie.
Migrants sue Florida governor over Martha's Vineyard flights
Source: Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Venezuelan migrants flown to the upscale Massachusetts island of Martha’s Vineyard sued Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his transportation secretary Tuesday for engaging in a “fraudulent and discriminatory scheme” to relocate them. The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Boston, alleges that the migrants were told they were going to Boston or Washington, “which was completely false,” and were induced with perks such as $10 McDonald’s gift certificates.

Greg Abbott sends two buses of migrants to Kamala Harris' D.C. residence after she called border

Greg Abbott’s state-funded program to bus migrants to cities run by Democrats reached a national fever pitch on Thursday, with buses dropping people off outside of Vice President Kamala Harris’ D.C. residence. What started in the spring as a publicity stunt to draw the attention of the White House has caught fire, with other Republican officials in Arizona and Florida following suit.

Sen. Lindsey Graham's abortion ban proposal roils Republicans, energizes Democrats WASHINGTON — With abortion access already expected to be a major issue in November’s midterm elections, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham supercharged the debate over reproductive rights by introducing a bill that would ban most abortions after the 15th week of pregnancy. “I have chosen to craft legislation that I think is eminently reasonable in the eyes of the world,” the South Carolina senator said.

Fernand Amandi Tweet: 'Joe Biden has not been a good President... (wait for it)
Response to calimary (Reply #13) Mon Sep 12, 2022, 01:44 PM 17. This is so. At the start, I had my hesitations about Joe since I am on the progressive left side of the scale. But then I remember the Labor Day address he gave at the Pittsburgh Labor Day parade in 2016. It was at least 50% 'Bernie' talking points. Very progressive. I'd known of Joe for years; being a resident of Pennsylvania, one could not help but hear about the things he did.

The 60-day rule? Seriously?
Response to DeeDeeNY (Original post) Mon Sep 5, 2022, 10:08 AM 4. The 60 day rule is not just for individuals who are running for office. The rule applies to the entire election process. The DOJ rule was put in place so it would never look like the DOJ was interfering with the election process in any way. If Garland indicted Trump right before the election, that would look political, an attempt to make the Republicans look bad in the elections.

Response to FalloutShelter (Reply #4) Fri Sep 2, 2022, 01:15 PM 20. Oh, they are ALWAYS in their feelings. The data, the evidence, and real world experience does not support their ideology. They love to trumpet "Facts don't care about your feelings" but the reality is that EMOTION is all they have to rile up their voters. Conservatives do not vote based on rational decision making.

"Trump's Treason Mocks My Life"
Response to 70sEraVet (Reply #9) Sun Aug 28, 2022, 10:05 AM 29. Exactly! I think this is one of the drawbacks of vetting businessmen for office rather than military men. Previous to my lifetime, there were others elected who weren't veterans, but I wasn't aware of them as I am about presidents in my era. I felt like we were reflecting the times, when Bill Clinton was elected. But it really doesn't matter if an elected official is ex-military or not. Look at bush for example.

I'm also sad for a fellow human that reportedly suffered from mental health problems, where she likely self-medicated and developed substance abuse problems.
