    Have you ever seen Sanders, Chaya Raichak, and Sidney Powell in the same room? They’re like different age levels of the same chinless, bigot.

    Hatred sucks!

      There’s a Huckabee family photo from years ago - probably around the time Mike Huckabee was helping campaign for one of her early elections, but I’m not 100% about that.

      In the photo most of Huckabees were wearing some variant of a striped shirt, and I remember thinking it looked like a cluster of circus tents.

      I have to go find that pic to make sure it wasn’t a fever dream.

            A picture is worth a thousand words. In this case, the thousand words are a cautionary tale on the dangers of dressing alike for family photos.

            Not when you introduce so, so many stripes.

            Yeah, so imagine how things would be without the vertical stripes.

    This is pretty foul, but in line with conservatives wanting to control education and retcon history. Who controls the past, controls the present. And who controls the present, controls the future…

        I’m pretty sure I saw that quote in 1984. Which is becoming less of a dystopian novel and more of a description of present times.

        1. The book.

        A book is a stack of rectangular sheets of processed plants printed with text, all held together on one side.

    Here in Arkansas she’s been pushing some propaganda around the LEARNS Act where she’s almost literally thanking herself for making kids learn better. Fuck her.

      Black person in a movie: “Why is Hollywood so woke?”

      Muslim in an advertisement: “These brands have just gone woke.”

      Trans person in sports: “The woke are ruining sports.”

      School subject focused on Black Studies: “Woke schools are ruining education.”

      The rest of us: “Have you considered that you’re just a bigot?”

        Nah, we shouldn’t block them. When we do, they can continue to troll unnoticed and scare away new users. When we don’t, we can call their bullshit every time they comment.

          Exactly. Reply to this shit. Not because it’ll convince them to change their ways, but because it’ll show others that we care. It’s like picking up trash.
