For a punk rock party in College, a friend wore a Dr. Ruth shirt which said
“You love the smell of your own farts”
That shirt is burned into my mind!
I’m really starting to hate this windbag
Starting?
I hate that her constituents think she’s the best person to represent them.
They should just show her feet while taping.

In an earlier time I would have said “No way, that has to be a joke or something seriously taken out of context”, but Louie Gohmert? I can easily believe he said just that and meant it.

A battle to the bottom of the barrel between Gohmert and Greene for stupidest Republican.

It’s important to watch the longer clip for full context of exactly what an imbecile Gohmert is.
No, not really. That one snippet really does capture the stupidity as well as the morally bankrupt ideas that have stuck to him.
The idea that religious freedom means immunity before the law is going to do a lot of harm in the coming years, especially as it will be applied to only some religions and some claims of freedom.
We don’t have religious freedom here. Right-wing evangelicals are forcing their backwards view of Christianity upon this country. It sucks

One of the problematic aspects of our time is that we are actually IN a slow motion collapse of our democratic form of government and our secular/diverse civil society (to the extent we ever reached that status). However, it is also true that the collapse is not complete and in my mind not 100% inevitable quite yet, although honestly when I look for a path to avoid it, I don’t see one. However, I also refuse to give up so I want to try to preserve our openings for a democratic counterattack as long as we can, and if we do in fact end up in an extreme civil conflict, I want it to be on terms advantageous to us, which means avoiding the other side “seizing the middle” and taking firm popularly-supported control of the machineries of state.
It’s a thread the needle approach, but it’s the best of a bad lot IMO.

This thing that didn’t happen raised the rates of our electrical grid which is wholly Texas’s as I’ve bragged of in the past.
I’m sure it has nothing to do with attracting the mining companies that were previously evicted for breaking the grid elsewhere. Nothing predictable here at all.
