Another new MAGA/Q GOP House member has been lying big time about her background. Here’s a link to read free. It’s a doozy. wapo.st/3IfBK9FOooooof. Also, every Jewish person I've interacted with has been very firm that messianic Judaism is not actually Judaism. That combined with her extended family being like "actually Grandpa was a Nazi!" Quite the twists and turns in that article.

Ok but you believe those things are a good idea for what? Like what is the end goal with doing those things? To create more affordable housing availability for people. This will make a much bigger impact than yelling at random folks online about having a summer home. I feel I was clear. So what are YOU doing to these ends?

So what are YOU doing to these ends? planning and zoning meetings. city council meetings. The local people who make the rules that influence how local housing actually gets built and managed and taxed. you?

I also am active in other ways not directly related to housing. I put my money and energy where my mouth is, but that’s performative right?

sifl I haven’t had issues with you in the past and I’ve been able to gain different perspectives on certain topics when you post. No one here is saying you can’t be leftist. No one is saying you can’t have your opinion but you are essentially shutting down any one else from their perspective and opinion that’s different than yours. You are literally sitting here telling people they are wrong if they don’t think the way you are. And reasons like this is why politics as a whole is a huge ass cluster fuck. I get that you want the housing situation to be resolve a certain way. But the reality is that’s not obtainable for many. But people are willing to put in an effort and offer suggestions that can still make an impact and those efforts shouldn’t be negated.

But people are willing to put in an effort and offer suggestions that can still make an impact and those efforts shouldn’t be negated. Look, I am having a really hard time understanding how people are perceiving my words. Nowhere did I say that you are wrong if you don’t do x y or z. Nowhere did I say there’s one right way to do things. In fact I said we need both personal responsibility AND holding the investor corps accountable. I said explicitly that I wanted to provide examples and food for thought, not The One and Only Solution that You Must All Agree to. Like??? What are you all reading??? I’m truly and honestly frustrated trying to communicate here. And then people decide they don’t like my “tone” and just decide to play gotcha or be dismissive - these people are not engaging honestly. I actually do believe that we need all the solutions. The way people make change in their areas of influence are all valid. And I have been on this board a long time - there is absolutely an undercurrent of lefties/commies are silly unserious people who we can laugh at and dismiss. That’s why I don’t speak up in much detail very often. And perhaps why I come out defensive from the get go when I do. And why I get hella suspicious when someone I’ve had beef with before pops in out of nowhere to disagree with me. I’ll accept all of that. But I am absolutely being called unnuanced and performative here, and that is not ok.

And I don’t (well, didn’t) have beef with you. I didn’t pop out of nowhere. And my disagreement was with your view being an absolute right/wrong with no space for conversation. My reply that started all this was “yes sometimes but not always” I keep thinking the topic has finally been dropped but you keep coming back and digging in. Let’s let it go.

You literally said I was on a leftist rant. Would it be ok if I started calling people do nothing democrats? For accuracy's sake I said leftbook, not leftist. Leftbook is a term for a certain category of Facebook groups. Leftist does not equal leftbook. Left has ceased to look like a word to me now. this made me laugh because I'm a member of the left bloc. Had to re-read your post to make I'm not on the naughty list. 😅

So hey, I haven't had any time to post today but Mike Pence got a visit from the FBI re: classified docs AND a subpoena for testimony in a separate matter 👀👀👀 I think this was planned right? Like after the initial documents were found the FBI said we're going to look ourselves, just like with Biden I am very curious what is happening behind the scenes with the other past POTUS/VPs

Haven’t been able to find this extended clip, but about half way through this clip it starts the discussion about T and what he posted. The TT link is where that picks up with Lawrence ODonell mentioning how historic the moment truly was. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRtNhjdF/
