I'm so glad I have a bit of buffer and don't have to live with them close up.
Examples of GOP Leadership
- Thread starter injinji
- Start date
Read a NY Times article yes. about this,Oregonions east of Cascade Mts. want to secede from Oregon and join Idaho due to their dislike of heavy Dem political influence in the heavier populated western Oregon which includes Portland,are they committed enough to give up their legal weed? or are they hypocrites and want the best of both worlds according to their mindset,and like most rural bitching where do they rate on the taxes in taxes out scale,bet they are on the receiving end,I respect rural communities w/their quiet,modest pace,sense of closeness w/neighbors but it's getting to the point where ypu have to produce a bible along w/your ID if questioned.What do you expect from Greater Idaho? Say..@Fogdog does your property fall on that map?

these people have to be stopped. many of them have to face indictments, and some of these laws they've been shitting out need to be challenged in court.

Florida principal resigns after parents complain about Michelangelo’s ‘David’ statue
Tallahassee Classical School, a private institution focused on “training the minds and improving the hearts of young people through a content-rich classical education in the liberal arts and sciences, with instruction in the principles of moral character and civic virtue,” gave its principal an ultimatum to quit or be fired after three parents complained, according to reports by the Tallahassee Democrat.
“David” is a Renaissance Period sculpture depicting biblical hero David of the famous David and Goliath tale, holding his sling in the nude and standing at over five meters tall. The statue itself, sculpted by Michelangelo Buonarroti in the early 1500s, is currently on display in Florence’s Galleria dell’ Accademia.
Principal Hope Carrasquilla, according to the Democrat, resigned Monday after the school board chair told her to resign or be fired. Chair Barney Bishop confirmed to the Democrat that he gave Carrasquilla that ultimatum, but would not explain why due to “advice” from the school’s attorney. Parents were informed by email on Monday.
According to further reporting on the topic by the Huffington Post, the issue, at least in part, was that a protocol to inform parents in advance of showing similar types of artwork was not sent out to sixth-grade parents before the lesson due to “miscommunications.”
Bishop told the Tallahassee Democrat that the notification policy at Tallahassee Classical was relatively recent, and required a parental notification two weeks before “potentially controversial” materials are shown.
Speaking with HuffPost, Bishop claimed that the sculpture issue was “one of multiple” issues involving Carrasquilla. He also told the news organization that he was lobbying for legislation to give parents even more control over students’ primary education, saying that “parental rights trump everything else,” and saying that the parents who complained “didn’t like the woke indoctrination that was going on.”
Parental rights, as related to Florida education and curriculum, have become increasingly politicized over the past several years, with public debate and argument on the topic headlining multiple news stories related to teaching of sexual orientation and gender identity, COVID-19 masking policies, and critical race theory, among others.
State officials, including Gov. Ron DeSantis, have prioritized changing Florida laws and educational curriculum to remove so-called indoctrination at every level of education.
The current legislative session in the state legislature has multiple education and curriculum-focused bills going through both chambers at this time, including bans on CRT degrees in higher education, and moves to make school board elections partisan
According to the Tallahassee Classical site, the school is affiliated with private Christian institution Hillsdale College, which has made news in recent months as a model that Florida officials want to use to reformat Sarasota’s New College of Florida. Hillsdale has reportedly been advising the charter school since it opened in fall 2020.

I just love how they think they're just going to change said Sovereign State border(s). Personally I think they are high. Libertarians love weed.

They’ll get used to it.
All the Secession talk in these states,I believe MG Taylor has also floated out talk like this also,projects such a state of division amongst Americans that it must be music to the ears to the likes of Putin and Mr.Xi,damn when I see the spirit, the sense of "WE" and the common effort and sacrifice Americans rallied up to gain victory in WW2 and fast forward to now it's more than night/day,very sad to say WE as a nation no longer possess that capability.

I agree. Without the WWII vets, the GOP has no rudder.
Have always been confounded that a generation all about service,bravery,and self sacrifice that earned them the label "the Greatest Generation" could wholeheartedly support a self centered,selfish,5 time draftdogging clown who calls veterans who were KIA "losers",this gen was always very conservative due in part to the hardships they endured but how can they throw support behind pols. backing a man who shits all over their core values????
Yo Cunning,like I said before she's #2 on the "People I'd love to see go" list ,right after the MC of Jan6, and her removal /downfall from center stage in politics will be a celebration on par w/a National holiday.VILE,NASTY,VOMIT INDUCING

Maybe she will visit Donald when he's inside, volunteer to scrub his cell toilet and change his sheets. No servants in prison, I'm shocked!
Kevin will be a frequent visitor to the big house, maybe he can do some chores for Donald too. So how will it look when the house majority leader has to visit Sing sing every week for instructions? If Donald goes to prison before the election, will many magats make the pilgrimage to seek counsel from the great white hope? Perhaps a prison cell photo op and endorsement?
Lindsey will no doubt be a frequent visitor, trying to keep Donald from turning on the GOP like a hunger bear would to a garbage can. I can see Donald getting two kinds of visitors, those like MTG will go to seek wisdom and those like Kevin and Lindsey who want to keep him on side and will bullshit him until after the election when they will drop him like a hot potato. They must keep Donald from turning on them until after the election, after that fuck Donald especially if they lose. When Donald is indicted though, I expect some fireworks, but little trouble in NY.
