I’m not gonna bother reading the article, there is probably nothing in it I don’t already know. But the pic of trump is perfect.
On Jan. 6, there were a bunch of white flags with green pine trees in the crowd at the Capitol.
The significance: The NAR (New Apostolic Reformation), a Christian Nationalist bunch that our new Speaker Michael Johnson is tight with.
“Digby”
“NAR”
“SevenMountains“
The GOP just plain and simply does not believe women have rights beyond those allowed by men. And taking note that 3 of the 4 wannabe autocrats are women, I can only say Stockholm Syndrome.
As infuriating as that is, I had to laugh at this little tidbit near the end:
Stupid is as stupid does.
@OzarkHillbilly:
Chef’s kiss for that pic.
This is for Jax as the thread it started on is now dead: You might want to talk to a lawyer just so you understand your legal standing, regardless of what you decide for family reasons.
@MarkedMan: Thanks, I’m planning on it. My Mom has been admitted to the hospital, she’s very weak and can’t/won’t eat/drink enough to keep herself going. I may have to fly down there later this week.
@Jax:
Hoping for the best for your mother.
@Jax: Sorry to hear this.
The worst part is not being there to see for myself how she’s doing, and not being able to bring her home because her oncologist is down there. I can’t even talk to her, she’s too weak to call. She was very weak when she left to go back down there, since then they’ve removed another tumor off her bladder, and her general health has continued to deteriorate. I’m not sure what treatment options are left as far as the cancer in her bladder, other than removing it. I don’t think she’s strong enough for that kind of surgery right now.
@Jax:
Stay strong, and know we’re with you.
@Jax: Oof. I’m sorry to hear that, and I’m really sorry to hear that on top of everything else. That’s a lot to be going through. I’m so sorry.
@Jax: I happened to be in Seattle when the nursing home decided that my mom needed to go into hospice care and was available to sign the papers. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
@Jax:
I wish for the best for you and yours.
@Jax: Thinking about you and praying for the best for you and family.
Seems AP, CNN, NY Times had photojournalists on a ride along with the Hamas rapist and murderers. Not unlike how CNN film crews show up when the FBI raid Democrats’ political opponents. Except, so far, the FBI has refrained from rape.
Of course, in May 2021, the crack reporters at the AP were shocked, shocked they said to discover their offices were in the same building as Hamas. A building the IDF called to give them an hour warning before it was demolished.
