«
No man rules safely unless he is willing to be ruled. No man commands safely unless he has learned well how to obey.
[Nemo secure apparet nisi qui libenter latet. Nemo secure præcipit nisi qui obedire didicit.]

For them it is all about establishing #Christian #Shariah law where #everyone and everything in #America has to #adhere to their #rule set. This rule set is simple #white #men #rule and everyone else is# subservient based upon the #fantasy #bible story. How can a #society get so consumed by a #myth as to make the myth a #platform for #governing?

I asked him to hold #president #Biden to his word that he would not #negotiate the #DebtCeiling as he just did.

You mess around, you find out. Another attempt by conservatives to radicalize a white male, causing Merriam-Webster to shut their NYC and MA locations for a week. He also threatened Disney, Hasbro, a couple colleges, for being woke.

Originally, this was going to saddle #Florida with the responsibility for both #governing and #raising the revenue #Disney raised on its own before. Instead, nothing changes. Nothing. Disney’s financial obligations and everything else stays in tact. The ONLY change is that it gives Florida state power over Disney. That’s it. This is such a #dictatorial bullshit move over #MickeyMouse. https://apnews.com/article/ron-desantis-politics-florida-state-government-36ec16b56ac6e72b9efcce26defdd0d8

Interesting read from @bulwarkonline
Also worth noting that it’s unlikely anyone in the House even knows who Scalia was.

He has a plan to put an end to the strife
He'll take a stand against the wounded extremists
So justice, peace and hope will last for life

30 followers · 56 posts · Server mas.toIt appears #GOP has gotten themselves organized behind Mr. McCarthy after he lost FOURTEEN VOTES, and only after he promised to follow the will of a tiny fraction (less than 20) of the 435 representatives in #Congress. As usual for #USpolitics, a minority is overruling the majority.
#Democrats and #Republicans all held hostage to self-serving zealots not at all interested in #governing or representing the people. Liars all, violating their oaths.
