The least we can do is call a person by their name, like calling a party by its name. The Democratic Party, for example.

The rest of us cannot even be addressed by our correct name.
Or are called derogatory names.

Maga are only happy when everybody else is miserable

Conversations with people who are not capable of showing respect from the beginning are not worth having. They are not conversations. They are people coming in with an agenda and not made in good faith, they don't care about your perspective, data or ideas. If the party is called the Democratic party and you refuse to acknowledge that, you are not operating in good faith, you are trying to dominate the conversation from the outset.

I thought she was very good put things in terms so we could understand. She showed honesty and seemed very likable, these assholes! I wonder when Mike Johnson will decide to change the name of our congresswoman, Sarah McBride.

Seems to be how they see women.

They have lost the ability to distinguish between right and wrong. That’s a problem.

Good is bad.

Greatest moral collapse in US history.

But now is much much worse. We’re in a war, these guys think, but nobody’s shooting at us.

This is much more serious.

Our entire way of life is at risk, our freedom, Rule of Law, US Constitution,
Congress, Courts, etc., etc.

We are certainly in US Civil War II.

There is ongoing regular shooting, set up by the GOP and Putin, via the NRA and gun rights nuts.
Putin funded this movement to encourage Americans to kill Americans

And of course we now have Trump destroying healthcare, vaccines, insurance, medical professionals, etc.
People will die.

So we are at war and there are deaths.

Only one third of Americans oppose the evil we are living through.

One third loves all of the wrong doing, the other third doesn't give a damn.

One third MAGA.
One third Dem.
One third didn't vote.

Irresponsible, uniformed, self centered people.
One third full of hatred, anger and violence.
Others don't even care enough about their country to vote.

From the little I have read and heard about Ms. Levine is that both in PA and in her work for the
American people @ HHS is that she was very good.

She was excellent. I am so tired of this deliberate cruelty.

with her @ Penn State (I think) and he told me that people soon forgot about her being Trans
because she was so good @ her job and just saw her as a friend and a talented person.

This is just petty bullshit that says more about the people who saw fit to change her name
to please a crazy man and bigots than about her.

and that expertise came in handy when it came to COVID and children, where so many dismissed any impact on the young, after which the later variants ended up devastating to a number of them.

They see it as 'normal'

and will try to find some mealy mouthed middle ground between being an absolute anti-trans bigot and being accepting of trans people

He is totally wrong. If we don’t stand up for the persecuted minorities, who will? That is our job.

they like to punch down on people who won't hit back.

she punched back.

... is defined by petty malice and bigotry. Their deification of a bag of rat shit like Charlie Kirk tells you all you need to know about conservative "values".

There ... fixed it! This is why we can't have nice things.

And the pettiness and craven attitude, lives on.

DRUMPF!

Story by Oleksandra Bashchenko
Donald Trump's family has German roots. His grandfather, Friedrich Drumpf, was born in 1869 in the village of Kallstadt, Germany.
(snip)
In 1885, Friedrich emigrated to the United States to avoid military service in Germany. (How apropos!)

Any time he is mentioned, the change should be made.
President Drumpf
Idiot Drumpf
The Drumpf Ball(less) Room
The Drumpf Whatever
etc. ad infinitumAnd it needs to be used in public.

The same with Vance.
J.D. Bowman/Hamel/Vance
They are ashamed of their heritage so we should never let them forget it. If they claim it was legally changed, then refer to the change they made for Levine and go right on using Drumpf.

As for Vance:

from wikipedia:


James Donald Bowman: His original name, reflecting his biological father's name.
James David Hamel: After being adopted by his mother's third husband, his mother changed his name to remove his biological father's surname and to use his uncle's first name, David.

Final Name Change

J.D. Vance: He adopted his maternal grandparents' surname, Vance, in April 2013, shortly before graduating from Yale Law School. This name change was significant for him as it connected him to his family heritage.

Or we can simply call them Asshole 1 and Asshole 2!

god these people are not just petty but thoroughly petty. Their appointees across agencies find things like this mostly I’d guess to impress Trump.

It's what grade school bullies do.

Concise and helpful.

I would stream the state's Dr. Levine daily (and then weekly) briefings, Philly's Health Commissioners (initially Dr. Tom Farley's and later, Dr. Cheryl Bettigole's) daily (and then weekly) briefings, and the Montgomery County weekly briefings (lead by County Commissioner Dr. Val Arkoosh, who eventually became the state's Secretary of Human Services).

In some cases, the briefing times were overlapping so I had 2 streams going.

ALL of that was helpful in getting through those early days.

(I mean, they have been committed to renaming from go, but this is a new level.)

These are emotionally delayed and stunted people.

Typically happens in family situations but here it is being done under the auspices of us all. Most of our Native Americans have a catchall third category called Twin Spirit, whom they don't just acknowledge but give them a role where they are counselors in relationship disputes. I personally know a masculine woman who is actually XY chromosomes but has some other gene that alters the response to hormones. She was born with mix genitals, Drs and family unilaterally altered her to match being female. She identifies as Intersex, as she is literally betwixt and between the two formal genders. She had the foresight to not go X gender on her passport and is listed F still. But unless this information is given freely how is any of that our business? It isn't, and it is a distraction from the greed of the top 1%.

Push back on everything -- from War crimes to petty bigotry.

Fucking EVERYTHING.

WTF is wrong with these fucking repukes. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!
