It’s truly a frightening time in America. I was heartened to see my son’s first grade classroom this week. They had books on many topics in the reading area, including books on kindness and even a book about Barack Obama! This is the same public school that sent an email blast last week announcing that federal funding cuts might cause free school meals to end, although they would allow some parents to endure shame by proving they are sufficiently poor enough to still qualify. Not to mention the stigma that need based lunches would then attach. We were thrilled with our public school last year. They even offer free breakfast for kids who are dropped off early, or for anyone who missed breakfast at home. Our son would occasionally sleep in and have to catch the bus quick. He loved getting breakfast at school.
It’s astonishing that this administration would dare add $3.3 trillion to the national debt by creating yet more tax breaks for the rich, at the expense of kids and working families. They could have declared a wealth tax on the 1% and removed corporate loopholes to add billions in revenue, and help bolster SSA trust funds. Instead they punish public schools, where the vast majority of American kids go to learn. Despite what Trump and his rich goons believe, working parents are not eager to pay for private schools, no matter how many Trump coupons they mail to us.
This is the first time I’ve doubted the safety and efficacy of the vaccine. Not because I’m an anti vaxxer, but because I doubt the credibility of the CDC and Dept of Health under this administration.
That incredibly clean-cut, sweet, "COUNTERCULTURE NOW" family sitting in that church pew, including that chastely-covered-from-neck-to-ankle mommy (who probably doesn't connect her husband's acrobatics in bed with how her children were conceived, due to her godly ignorant upbringing) needs to be damned careful about letting the pastor of the church spend time alone with the kids, if they really don't want those kids corrupted.
Blumenthal is my senator. He made a great attorney general here. But this attempt aims too low: the culprit is Kennedy, who put Malone on the panel. If you're gonna write letters, write 'em to the real boss. And more to the point, start convincing your GOP senate colleagues that they are in the process of committing national suicide if they don't start putting the brakes on this crap.
I'm really liking Sen. Blumenthal's increasingly fierce tone!
BTW, his brother David is an esteemed health policy expert who served as the National Health Information Technology Coordinator during the Obama administration. So maybe a little bit of this outrage is personal.
Real-life Tommy Lee Jones gave the nominating speech for Al Gore at the 2000 Democratic Convention. He majored in English literature at Harvard, and still f'ing plays polo in Argentina.
Sometimes a Texas drawl and a name like Tommy Lee Jones isn't the shibboleth you'd like to think it is, gun nuts.
The second Amendment was to placate the state of Virginia and allow them to continue having Slave Patrols, posses whose job was hunting down escaped slaves and preventing slave revolts. It had nothing to do with hunting or being capable of overthrowing the Federal government. Thanks to the 2nd Amendment the US is exceptional in the number and frequency of mass murder.
The 2nd Amendment does not define what is a "militia" or is meant by "well-regulated" or what the duties of a state militia are. It was understood that the army of the Federal government would respond to foreign invasions, not state militias. Enforcing the law is police work, which would have been conducted by the local sheriff. Insurrection against the Federal government would have been dealt with the Army. Domestic insurrections, (slave revolts) would have been the State's responsibility. The 2nd Amendment does not support universal gun ownership.
Wait a minute, that's not the kind of blood Bobby Jr. wants on his hands! He wants the blood of people (mostly children) who will die from VPDs! But, it is probably a bonus to have someone commit murder for you because you are a stochastic terrorist.
All of Krasnov’s appointees are philosophically opposed to the job they were hired to do. His head of the EPA is against protecting the environment. His judges are against following the law. His secretary of education is against the existence of public education. His director of national intelligence is a Russian asset. His attorney general is covering up actual crimes while trying to invent imaginary ones.
So of course his secretary of HHS is opposed to anything that protects public health and would appoint Temu Kenny Rogers to the vaccine advisory board.
Hey asshole, the potential lack of a Covid vax due to these imbeciles being in charge makes me very fucking depressed. But going on a shooting spree really doesn't seem to be the answer.
Malone has been a provocative magatard partisan for years - but as recently as 6 months ago he still described himself as "independent." His wife has some sort of doctorate from a defunct diploma mill. A grifter in her own right, she teamed up with hubby when he started grifting bigly.
Now, they're both "world renowned experts!" Trad-wife-style, she attributes their greatness to him.

Ta, Robyn. My next covid booster is due in October; I think it's next month for the flu shot. I fear for all of HHS under Bobby Brainworm.
This is the first time I’ve doubted the safety and efficacy of the vaccine. Not because I’m an anti vaxxer, but because I doubt the credibility of the CDC and Dept of Health under this administration.

In the Counter culture “now” illustration, it looks like Mom’s checking to see that Daddy’s hand doesn’t move any further South.
I thought Kenny Rogers was dead.

Our thanks and praise to Connecticut.
Weird that MAGA types seem kind of big on killing cops.
January 6, 2021 was a national festival of MAGA values.

Senator Blumenthal is The Man.

People were allowed to own guns so they could be a part of a well-regulated militia.
The Constitution says that well-regulated militia is required to:
1. Enforce the laws of the United States of America
2. Suppress insurrections
3. Repel foreign invaders.
The 2nd Amendment does not define what is a "militia" or is meant by "well-regulated" or what the duties of a state militia are. It was understood that the army of the Federal government would respond to foreign invasions, not state militias. Enforcing the law is police work, which would have been conducted by the local sheriff. Insurrection against the Federal government would have been dealt with the Army. Domestic insurrections, (slave revolts) would have been the State's responsibility. The 2nd Amendment does not support universal gun ownership.
No, it doesn't. It's conditional. And Article One, Section Three defines the militia's duties. All of it controlled by Congress.

It's almost like Ron Swanson without any of the comedy. Quite the opposite, in fact.
REUBEN JAMES LIBELZ!
What surprises me is that this is the first violent incident at the Atlanta campus. They've been targeted by "vaccine crazies" for decades.
The Covid vax made him depressed??
Hey asshole, the potential lack of a Covid vax due to these imbeciles being in charge makes me very fucking depressed. But going on a shooting spree really doesn't seem to be the answer.
Go directly to prison.
The day I got my first jab was like a cloud was lifted off my head. The year prior to that was depressing AF!

Do we know for sure that old Joe Kennedy didn't have Bobby Jr lobotomized? Maybe just a mini-lobotomy so he could fake being normal.
Nothing normal about that piece of work. He is a life-long disgrace to his father's memory.
