I'm a substitute teacher, and I do more parenting that many of the kids' parents. Fucking around and finding out may make one technically a parent, but it does not imbue one with the skills, compassion, and patience that it takes to raise a human.

Absolutely 100% agree. This hypocrisy is what I noticed and why I fled my Sunday Presbyterian indoctrination meetings, aka "church", at around age 12... much to my "mom's" chagrin. Mine may have squeezed me out, but she weren't no mother, that's for damn sure.

It's all so supremely exhausting and disheartening... almost debilitating. I knew when he lost Drumpf wasn't going to go away, but never dreamed the Rethugs were going to go full 4th Reich on us all. Are we ill-prepared for this... this onslaught of anger and depravity? The hardest part for me is how small I feel, and how in order to continue to chase a paycheck I have to daily just Pretend it's All Okay, when I know for a fact it sure as fuck ain't.

Where are all the liberal, activist Billionaires? You know, people like us who used to say "if I were rich I'd feed the hungry, house the homeless, educate the unfortunate...." and then actually got rich? Why isn't this happening? Instead the rich assholes are winning.

I was adopted and I assure you my adoptive Mom very very much was my mother. This offensive slag can go fuck herself and then, when she is finished, fuck herself again.

well that's what we're for - you don't have to pretend with us (we certainly won't be paying you) and you know that there are people who feel the same way - sometimes we even find ways to feel better together!

All 3 of MTGs kids are adults. It’s beyond time for one of them to publicly talk about how batshit crazy she is and how difficult it was to live with her, or at least how embarrassing she is.

I'm not familiar with Congressional rules. Do they have any tools to publicly spank a witness for violating Decorum? What happens if Empty G starts this shit with a witness, and the witness responds with, "Fuck you, asshole!"

Perhaps including the New Jersey state bird for emphasis.

Can we assume she's armed in these committee hearings?

Will it? I wonder if they can pull off that narrative if it's the sort of response any reasonable person would make? It's a coarser world now, and that sort of thing could be this generation's, "Have you no shame?"
