Christian. Politically center left and very concerned about our country. I'm likely to comment on political posts, all things football, books, and beautiful photography. More likely to comment than post.
I would recommend that people just don't come here. With the horrible actions of ICE and the attitudes of the current administration towards how they view the rest of the world (including our allies), we don't deserve their tourism money.

Yoga pants and a hoodie yesterday for me! I don't care what he thinks about my clothes. I mind my business and am polite to every person I encounter. Thinking that what someone wears impacts who they are and how they behave is shallow and completely in line with every person in this administration.

I would love for Franklin's publisher to sue all of them for copyright infringement and brand harm. They need to stop thinking meme culture doesn't have real world implications. Maybe they can sue the AI company used to make the images while they're at it. And, yay, Canada!

I speak Spanish sometimes, although I'm not great at it. I also speak about 30 words in Arabic. I get some weird looks when the white lady switches between English, Spanish, and Arabic, and I love that my kids know that speaking multiple languages is an asset and absolutely normal. 🙂

It's more of a denominational thing tied to geography. Evangelical Christians overwhelmingly vote Republican, and large churches in the South tend to be Evangelical. I believe it is heretical to tie a political party to Christianity but there aren't many who feel like I do.

I think there's this coupled with the idea that "real" Christians vote Republican. As a Christian, it's not true, but, sadly, I'm very much in the minority.

Are you going to do the recipe for sticky toffee pudding ice cream? I NEED that in my life. 🤩

I think it's a mix of too dumb to know better and too corrupt to care whether what he says is true. It's so ridiculous.

This is, unfortunately, my district. His brother ran for sheriff after Nehls was elected to the House and lost. It'll be harder bc of gerrymandering, but I'm hoping we can repeat that. 🤞

Why does CNN let this moron on tv. He shouldn't be given a platform.

It's very similar to the Gilded Age and I don't think most people realize that name was satirical. It did lead to reform, so I have hope for the future. It's just appalling that the majority chose to elect a man with so much greed and no care about the harm he's causing.

Thanks. We do have individuals who run against them, but they don't get much support. The candidate in 2024 was solid and I think she'll run again. The one in 2022 was a joke. No presence anywhere and barely held events. It was bad, particularly after how close the election was in 2020 (52-45).

And his twin brother will likely get the nomination for this district. I love where I live but I do NOT love the political representation. 😠

Ugh. No. He tried to become Fort Bend County Sheriff when his brother got elected to the House. Let's just say their brand of politics needs gerrymandering to win. 😬

I, unfortunately, live in his district. Best news I've had all day.

As one of his constituents (against all my best efforts 😠), you just made my day! Now I would love for him to use his remaining time in office to do what's right for our country and the people he represents. I'm not optimistic.

Can we also mock him about his understanding of percentages?

Agree 100%. I would take a roasted turkey breast over chicken any day. And that's the appropriate amount to feed four people.
I can't figure out if he thinks he's doing stand-up or if he really thinks so highly of himself that he believes these people want to listen to whatever dumb thought he has.

It's astounding that I continue to be surprised by how low this man is willing to go.
Although I feel that this should be a noun or verb instead of an adjective.

I'm confused. He left to work for this administration so he obviously sucks as a person or he resigned or was fired because he doesn't suck enough to work in this administration? So is your comment opposing the city hiring him back or supporting the city hiring him back? 😂

There are so many similarities between Trump and Andrew Johnson. He might prefer to think he's Andrew Jackson, but he's a lot like Johnson, as well. (And holding Jackson up as a hero is certainly a choice. 🙈)
