Welp......Ted Lieu has had enough.



Tweet text:
Ted Lieu
@tedlieu
Hey Mike Huckabee, I asked around and Coke likes me, Delta agrees with my values, I wear Nikes and my hometown Dodgers won the World Series.

But it’s not because of my ethnicity. It’s because I’m not a sh*thead like you who is adding fuel to anti-Asian hate.

#StopAAPIHate

Gov. Mike Huckabee
@GovMikeHuckabee
I’ve decided to “identify” as Chinese. Coke will like me, Delta will agree with my “values” and I’ll probably get shoes from Nike & tickets to @MLB games. Ain’t America great?

who are redeemable. Not one of them is in public office or is in the circle of anyone who is (unless the Gosar siblings are registered Republican - which seems unlikely.)

Some of them are associated with a group called "The Republican Accountability Project." Others (and probably some of the same ones) are with a group called "Republicans for the Rule of Law." The former is putting out ads like:



The latter has been putting out ads for some time, and the two appear to share them. But again, these are not people who have power in the Republican Party.

So many are nuts, it's easy to assume all are nuts. And if you do, you will be correct a lot of the time. But not all the time.

She can break layers of boards with one just one foot.
And all kinds of other things. Her master always warned his students that they must be careful.
Their skills are potentially quite lethal.

She is only 4ft 10 inches, quite tiny, but in high school the boys never gave her a hard time.

Word must have gotten out, she was a well known 9 year old black belt at the local marital arts studio.
I wanted her to take ballet lessons, but her heart belong to martial arts.

She was a very pretty high school student, but the boys were respectful to her.
Right, I felt sorry for any boy who tried to mess with her.

60. How do we change a 200,000 yr history of men on this planet assaulting women?
Sun Apr 4, 2021, 07:54 PM
Apr 2021

How do we change a mindset going back 200,000 years that it is OK for men to be the "superior" gender
who can physically and sexually assault women with impunity.

It is not that long ago that women were considered property and had no rights at all.

Most serial killers are males who target women.
It is so standard that no-one questions it.

In Martial Arts they worked on defending against random attacks by a stranger.
And many possible scenarios along these lines.
I was glad for my daughter to have these skills.

But would women use these skills against a husband or boyfriend?
And would men just go and get a black belt too?

But yes women with advanced black belts would perhaps level the playing field a bit.

need to look at statistics and see that most violent crime is committed by males, particularly mass shootings. I think the last 4 years under H as pres would put us in a better place than where we are today. But I digress.

Absolutely, H would have made a huge difference on a number of levels.

you ever heard. She could also at about age 8 check you out at the family restaurant, get it right to the penny then turn around and talk with her mother in Chinese.

When she was on hostess duty, she would come swaggering up to the door, hand you the menu and ask " How Can Ah Hep You?

I figure she grew up to be a brain surgeon
