We're at a family thing for a few days out in Illinois and all of H's extended family is BIG GQP peoples. I'm hoping since they're all rolling in now from the south that they haven't heard yet, but oof, I'm going to have to really bite my tongue and walk away a lot this week. H is already very š¬š© about the idea that we'll likely have to hear their shitty GQP take on it all for three days now. I am not great about the tongue biting. I'm surprised there are certain family members that still talk to me...

Why are 14 year olds working in the first place? I mean, I know there are families where the income is needed, but we need real solutions and safety nets for them, not making them work service jobs with asshole customers. I worked at 14 as a golf instructor and at DQ/a sandwich shop. I wanted to work and wanted to earn money. I bar serving booze would have been a bad situation as a 14 year old. There are already people who tipped $0 and bitched to a teenager without booze fueling it.

We're here for a funeral, so I'm not terribly inclined to make things any shittier by arguing with people who won't change their minds anyways. It's like yelling at a brick wall, then everyone is mad at everyone and it's not worth it. They're really just not even worth engaging with at this point. They already all planned to unfriend me on FB after Uvalde when I made a very long, very scathing FB post. They ultimately didn't because they're just all talk. I have engaged before, it's a losing battle and I won't waste my breath or my anger on them.

Trying to catch up on indictment day part III (?).
Wanted to share the bs happening here, no nice quite like NE nice. The current enemy is both CRT & SEL. I was actually shocked when the local news actually played this as their clip from the invite only faux hearing.

There are legitimately terrible things that we as a nation have done to others. They just want to continue to be racist and in charge.

It is still baffling that he is in charge of that committee when most of his sources are šš.

The fact that Oppenheimer hasn't been canceled tells me not a single republican has seen it.

OH! That was the thing I wanted to tell you all. Remember Dan Coats (Former Congressman, 45's DNI in 2017/2018)? He was casually strolling out of the movie theater while we were going in. That was effin weird.

elle I have never been prouder of a Governor of our state in my entire lifetime, TBH. As politicians go, he's a good egg.

What always blows my mind about J6 is - what would Step 2 be if they were successful?? Like the next day more than half of the country would be all cool with it or maybe not notice?? We'd let it go like it doesn't matter?? The short-sightedness always baffles me.

I think the intent was that it wouldn't matter how upset the majority of the country became, they had plans to quell the unrest. Remember how #45 wanted and asked if the police would be able to just shoot protesters in the knees/legs?

The list of reasons for eternally hating 45 is extremely long, but lately Iām adding āmade me nod along and agree with Mike Pence multiple timesā to the list.
