Often confused, rarely without an opinion. Deeply flawed liberal. My wife loves me so I am good.

Isn't it great to see them smiling and laughing while Americans are unpaid and hungry.

Has MAGA blamed democrats for rain yet?

Who is going to arrest them? Will Chicago PD do it? No federal agents will.

Knot Famous @zakaryalan.bsky.social · 18h

I am guessing but these are white men. If they weren't I'm guessing MAGA would turn on them.

Xi runs a one party nation. I call it fascism.

I've done that... as an amateur. My wife and son are from China. Explaining America is fun when they have a different perspective.

Will ANYONE do anything about it? So far Congress doesn't care. Every judge in America could agree that they violated the Hatch Act, but someone has to enforce it, or punish the culprit. Will they?

Trump doesn't care about Congress. No one limits him. As Senator Collins said, he's learned his lesson... Zero consequences.

If you are not looking for ways to get 98% of American citizens registered and 98% of registered voters voting you may not be interested in democracy, or in other words, a fascist. If you have to cheat to get elected you might not support democracy.

I am shocked that it is out in the open. I am not shocked that it's there.

MAGA doesn't care about poor people.

I am pro democracy and anti fascist. As such I don't want a king or a dictator. I have never understood why republicans think they own patriotism in America. I watched faux call Obama a weak tyrant and question his nationality.

Sorry, I actually have a degree in history, not US, but I rarely get to flex that.

1975. A good year for me, but I am not sure that it was "better." Somethings in America have improved over the past 50 years. We've actually lowered pollution and equal rights have expanded. Yes, MAGA wants to roll those back to 1725, but not yet. I turned 16 and started driving and working. Better?

The speaker has zero reason to bring the House back. They get paid either way. They might as well spend all their time raising money.

She should be sworn in. 💯

MAGA doesn't care.

EPSTEIN anyone?

Nope. 2 Senators for everyone. Some people say it was the way the small states protected themselves. Others claim that issues like slavery were more important. They decided on 2 houses instead of a single. They wanted it to be slow and deliberate.

Farmers grow a variety of crops based on market demand, their own expertise, land suitability, and risk management strategies, but subsidies for a few major commodities like corn and soybeans can significantly shape their decisions.

I knew some farmers and they grew what made money. Potatoes.

Shocking

Knot Famous @zakaryalan.bsky.social · 1d

I have zero concern about it, but if I was on the cover of ANY magazine I would want it to be great. On the other hand I would probably be on it for something outrageous... like speeding.

Members of Congress are in a special group. They get to give themselves raises. They get paid regardless of what they do. The don't have to show up for work, create bills, or vote. They spend as much time as possible raising campaign funds for the next election. Check 2 see what yours is doing.

People in states like Wyoming are over represented. Let's say that 1M citizens are in Wyoming. Shouldn't that be the minimum for all House members? Why are voters in Texas worth less than those in Wyoming?

Knot Famous @zakaryalan.bsky.social · 1d

Please register and please vote. It matters. Support democracy.

Congress gets paid regardless if they show up or work

My folks didn't smack us, but even in the early to mid 70s we wouldn't get away with calling a woman "dearie," or something like that. We didn't grow up disrespecting adults regardless of their gender or race. Mom was known for being outspoken in the church so we didn't get away slurs.

A lot of people are saying that Lincoln logs and Legos cause autism. Having an Sally and any relative that is circumcised is bad. Seems like there are new causes everyday. Our health leader swims in a toxic stream.
