A broken jaw feels correct. I'm not sure what Paul was thinking, but he ate knuckle-sandwiches that he's never eaten before.

Best. Witness. Yet.

Fuck you Mitch.

Taxing the wealthy and a "progressive" tax structure were ideas when you were in elected office. You signed the legislation that inspired the ACA and just NOW you promote taxing rich folks?

Where you been?

Fuck you and fuck off.

It has been since my Master's (twenty years ago) that I last heard the term "Individual-Model" as apposed to "Social-Model."

We hear loads about the Social-Model (for good reason) but we lack clarity on the other.

Right on.

This was absolute FIRE. Excellent discussion and argumentation.

Really nice to hear the "Personal-Individual Model" of Disability being defined and discussed.

Franklin is a hollow mouthpiece. I'm unsure why he is still relevant really.

Really needed to be televised. Hopefully, if one or both chambers flip to Dem they will repeat this and allow Smith to testify under oath in front of cameras.

Questioned behind closed doors Repubs will say: "He told us he lied and Trump is innocent!"
They've done this before, with Hunter Biden.

These people are talking amongst themselves about the sex lives of their peers. All just to remain unaccountable and to protect their status.

To the detriment of others.

Sex lives.

They might be feeding the wrong wolf.

For the SBC women are second class citizens.

I'm texting with an older sister who is in the "throws of it." She's in a stable moment for the holidays.
Boundaries will be maintained. But you know how this is, difficult. I just want to be able to love, without restriction.
But those days are over. Likely, they never existed in the first place.

When my five year old car needed a jump the dude from my insurance pulls out a laptop and plugged it into a connector under the dashboard.

A fucking LAPTOP!!!

I DIDN'T NEED A JUMP AT ALL!!!!

I've been "prodding" and "debating" local evangelical pastors and church leaders for years.

They can say Scripture better than I ever will.

But, they have proven to be some of the most Biblically illiterate folks I've ever met. Why does that verse exist? Proper Exegesis?

NO WHERE!!!!!

Keep pushing.

No effin slouch.

Eugenics.

I feel like I wrote that word on one of your posts just recently!? Admittedly I've been hung up on the word a lot this year. Thing is, I see it a lot. In a lot of places. The privatization of healthcare systems and markets is one of those places.

No one knows their Church History, it simply isn't taught anymore.

Woe to them.
