Only way to have rights guaranteed for the LGBT communityvis to have more left-leaning justices than right-leaning ones at all times.

The rejection of fanaticism went out the door along with E Pluribus Unum in the 50’s when the Christian nationalists forced their religion on the national motto. Then over the next decade black people were lynched and attacked with fire hoses when they were asking for basic rights.

They also started conversion camps where they emotionally and sometimes physically and secually abuse minors in conversion camps to attempt to change sexual orientation.

I believe it was Nixon who helped foem fox News to pull the Republicans further right and we’ve been seeing the consequences of that.

Basically the fanaticism has always been there, but with the internet and social media, it’s easier for them to make their voice heard.

A few years back, some log cabin Republicans walked beside a sports car in the Austin Pride Parade. You could tell exactly where they were because the crowd fell silent as they passed. It was cool hearing the silence move down the street, nobody booed we just ignored them.

There have been members of the community aligned with the far right for a long time. There was even a hugh ranking gay nazi that worked for Hitler before he outlived his usefulness and IIRC ended up in a concentration camp.

The laws governing public schools should apply to any school that receive public funds. Many private schools would quickly crumble given how chaotic and disorganized I’ve heard they are from teachers that left working in private schools.

Segregation should not be allowed in the education system.

There are even public schools still using corporal punishment, although the school has to have approval from the parents.

From what I can tell, they didn’t bar posters for other religions on the walls next to it.

Another head of the hydra choped off, how many more heads will grow back?

I’m sure the megachurch will still be around, question is how many other churches will spring out of its congregation and how many more victims will they all make.

100%, all the cops did was prevent parents from rescuing their children and give the shooter time to kill

I’m not saying that it was a good excuse, just that it was used.

IIRC, they even had a shooter drill prior to the massacre, but that obviously didn’t help.

They call it the Flow state, there are books and I’m sure seminars about getting into the flow state to help you focus and get more done.

From one report, they didn’t know who was in charge because there were State and local units. So they did nothing while some in charge waited to hear who should be giving the orders. At least that’s how I remember it.

Bush wouldn’t have dodged that shoe without quick reflexes. Haha

Trump won TX in 2020 by only 631,221 votes. If we have better turnout this year, we could make TX blue! The polls are only busy on the final day to vote, even though we have a 2 week long voting period with the polls open during the same hours as election day during the entire 2nd week of voting. Don’t wait until the last day and check if your local polling places are open on the weekend!

For those in TX, the last day to register to vote is Oct 7.

Voting goes from October 21-Nov 1, with one final day to cast your vote on Nov 5.

Applications to vote by mail must be received by Oct 25.

That would lead to false charges against political opponents or lead to laws that declare certain things as a felony to prevent certain populations from office.

Does this mean that it’s potentially safer to be at an oxygen bar during a pandemic? Would that be enough to stunt the viral load in the air?

The Jade Helm Scare was before that and I wouldn’t be surprised if there were other efforts before that.

Use your knuckles and the space between from left to right. The higher points are longer months.

The left pinky knuckle is January, the space between pinky and ring knuckle is February, the ring knuckle is March and so on. The left index knuckle will be July and you continue with August being the right hand index knuckle. All the months that land on a knuckle are 31, while everything else is 30 (except 28 or 29 for February).

Thats interesting, i hadn’t heard that before! Looks like Biden received 5,244,103 votes in New York, which is 15,023 less than he received in TX.

Looks like TX just needs more of the urban population to turnout to cou tractor the red rural parts.

It could happen if we could get more people to the polls.

In 2020, there were 21.5 million people in the voting age population, of which 16.95 million were registered to vote, and of those 11.3 million cast a vote. Of the votes, Trump receuved 5,890,347 votes and Biden received 5,259,126.

Hopefully we will have even better turnout this Oct/Nov. We were the first state to have an in-person early voting period and unfortunately, over 40 years later, isn’t well-utilized.

Ok, thanks for the clarification
