Who was giving marching orders?
There's people above them. GM and JE. Who???

Are they still trafficking children? Laundering money? why are his accounts still open? Who's profiting? Why would it not be frozen through litigation?

Justice for the victims.

Underaged women are children. Men who abuse their power are predators. And adults who are attracted to children are pedophiles.

And some of y'all carrying water for pedos acting like we're taking about you? Are we?

@baldwin.senate.gov Hold the line! We're counting on you! This is lives on the line. Empty promises are not enough! You need tangible gains. This is absurd, why would you lose your leverage this way? No! As a long time supporter, this isn't a compromise worth your seat. And it will cost it.

I honestly can't believe we as a country, are going with prosecuting immigrants and letting pedophiles, child traffickers, corporate labor abusers, and tax cheats go as an actual policy.

Awe, the bigoted old privileged wealthy entitled man is afraid, so I guess due process, and civil liberty has to go.....
Nah... He should try therapy. And we should tell these cowards to go home and retire and let someone with stones and heart step in to serve his constituents.

I am not yet regretting those 152 tomatoes I planted this year. May be the first time i was right about doubling the sq ft of my plot.
I'm quite sure I'll be regretting it while canning in August...

Look, I do not know how to reach democratic leadership but if you do? Tell them the story out of NYC? It's authenticity.
And from backwoods wisco? You can sell progressive policy here, You can't fake authenticity. And we're all starving for it.
Stand for something. Be authentic. Or retire.

Attacks on Muslims flood mainstream after Mamdani win Openly racist rhetoric has become normalized at the highest levels of American politics.

We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary β€” some blatant, others latent.

Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."

Live updates: Brooklyn Park shelter-in-place after multiple shootings, suspect may be impersonating police A shelter-in-place alert was sent out at 5:30 a.m. Saturday morning by the Brooklyn Park Police Department after multiple shootings. A suspect in the shooting may be impersonating law enforcement and ...

Local media reporting that the victims appear to be two Democratic state lawmakers and a spouse. No word on injuries.

This is really, really dark news to wake up to.

But y'all have left your basic principles behind. You are handing local power to state legislators. And state power to the executive branch.
This is why I can not believe conservatives are driven by principles. Because it sure seems like you leave them at the door to be boot licking

To be clear, to the people who used to profess they were the small government conservatives-
Medical boards determined ethics and best practices. Sports? Tournaments and leagues determined eligibility of Trans athletes. School boards determined curriculum, your community chose books.

I feel that from Wisco with Ron Johnson also making the rounds as opposed at the moment. I don't buy that he found a spine, even with his stated reasons. But if someone bought him, and he's gonna be a thorn? Good, we need to stop this.

We know age related decline is an issue. We also know, health issues can cause serious cognition issues, looking at you Fetterman.

Let's put a basic requirement of base ability into the process.

You take the exam to prove you have the foundational competency.
To file to run you need a credential.
The Civil servants exam would be acceptable.

Then, in the interest of the public, the metrics- pass/fail, and rate of change % in return candidates should be available upon request.

How should we as a country address declining faculties in politicians? I know there's a push for age and term limits, but i have an idea-
A credentialing exam.
We do this for teachers (praxis) and even the postal workers take a civil servants exam. You want to run for legislatures?

That said, I could caste less about this "expose". I am sorry he has cancer.
I seriously question why, when Trump is out here walking into walls, and generally acting fully demented and clearly being manipulated by foriegn interests? This became the topic of the week? Seems like corporate cowardice

First, I think Biden should have stepped away and let Harris drive in 23. I thought this at the time.
I think it would have likely helped.
But, as we may recall, things were popping at that time and stability of leadership likely would have argued for him staying the course.

They were not tested. Neither went to college. Both were creative and intelligent. Both had hobbies. Both at times i think, struggled.
If in anyway, you think this is new? Look back, to the cabinet builders, look to the trades, the farmers, the artists, the sciences.

We were always here.

My grandpa was a mason, who served and was at Normandy. He was obsessed with his garden. He was obsessed with clothes with no wrinkles. Probably autistic

My other grandpa was a journeyman carpenter. The funniest man you ever would meet. A masking genius. Airforce during WWII. And clearly ADHD.

trained to withhold.

The truth is, neurospicy people come in all levels of intelligence. Not just those who struggle to speak, nor the high intelligence ones that are portrayed for you.

I've suspected many a tradesman, factory worker, etc is undiagnosed.

Some examples from my life...

I suspect there's a serious issue with the neurodivergent:neuro typical conversation.

Normal, is what is not disruptive to the systems built.
Even if, the stats showed this was 50:50 distributed? What works for those who wanted to stagnate would be those prone to accept the systems they are

Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suitβ€”so let me break it down real slow:

George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.
