many of us who said this, that repubs for the most part are terrorist traitors who will destroy all minority groups someday if allowed, people should have listened.

When we say the cons will go along with ANY amount of violence against us, please listen.

When we say they will force children to read the 10 commandments, please listen...

When we say they will ban a Trans rep from speaking for being Trans, please listen...

When we say they will ban the mention of Gay or Trans people, please listen (y'all thought that one was never possible, right!)...

I could go on...

Oh, PS and off topic:

RESIGN PLEASE

Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine were the lone GOP senators to vote to move to the resolution; Schumer changed his affirmative vote to no. Under the chamber’s rules, doing so gives him the option of bringing up the resolution again down the road

Wake me when something good or common sensical happens. This nightmare is getting very old and we have 2024 to live through.
