Seems the GOP “housewife” and her bosses cherry picked a sex-trafficking event from 20 years ago and decided to try to blame Joe Biden for it.
Lesse’ — who was president 20 years ago…who was it..?
Hmmm…. Wait a minute. It’ll come to me.
Oh yeah!
It was Republican GEORGE W BUSH.
So, not only was Bush responsible for 9/11, wars of convenience, and the Great Recession, but clearly, by their own accounting, sex-trafficking that went unchecked on his watch. #sotu
Journalist catches Sen. Katie Britt in an 'out and out lie' in her State of Union response
A journalist caught Sen. Katie Britt in a blatant lie during her State of the Union response. She claimed that certain crimes took place in the United States, but the journalist pointed out that they actually happened in Mexico.
And guess what? These crimes occurred between 2004 and 2008, while Biden wasn't even Vice President until 2009. Can you believe that?
My 6YO continued:
6YO: So can they marry a boy or a girl?
ME: Anyone can marry a boy, a girl, or a non-binary person, or whatever. As long as they are an adult, and they aren't already married to someone else.
6YO: So I could marry a girl or a boy?
ME: Yep.
6YO: That's cool.
Yes this conversation happened today, and my two older kids learned about the gender spectrum and marriage equality in a similar way when they were that age.
It's only a big deal if YOU make it a big deal. Love and freedom to be who you are is really easy to understand when you're a kid, and no one has piled baggage on you.
“With nearly as many hospitalizations in January 2024 as in January 2023, it’s clear that #COVID19 is not growing milder and it’s not fading away. The real question, then, is not whether COVID is still a pandemic, but how much COVID illness and death are we willing to accept?”

What I'd really like to know is what Trump put up for collateral to cover it.
An amendment enshrining abortion rights was officially sealed into the French constitution Friday, during a public ceremony on International Women's Day. France is the first nation to guarantee the right to an abortion in its national charter.

Lasting ceasefire is easy: Hamas just needs to surrender. After all, every ceasefire has been broken by Hamas.

So, if you are NOT a law abiding adult, this does not apply to you.

"“If you're going to pull out a pistol in public and point it at someone because you are pissed off that they took your parking space. we're not allowing that," the Republican from Spartanburg said."
Oh, okay. Because you are not allowing that, we can all sleep well, knowing it will never happen.
Riiiiiiiight.
Things Republicans refused to clap for:
- NATO
- tax cuts
- teachers
- infrastructure
- ending cancer
- border security
- fighting the Kremlin
- lead-free water for kids
- Social Security and Medicare
We don't need a conspiracy theory for this to be problematic. On the face of it, a Presidential candidate will owe $91.6M to someone—maybe Chubb, maybe a bank that gave him a line of credit to give Chubb, etc—if he loses the appeal, as he likely will. That's a lot of leverage on a President.

I’m happy to hammer Republicans. You?
Via Ruth Ben-Ghiat:
Dems, time to hammer Republicans for being upset that Americans have jobs and the economy is strong
Aaron Rupar:
"All of this stuff is by design" -- Bartiromo and company think the strong jobs reports are a conspiracy to keep Biden in office #DarkBrandon #Bidenomics
I’ll leave you with this final thought before going to sleep. I call it #Alabackwards for many reasons. Our senators are two of them.
Sen Katie Britt said family starts in kitchen … obviously that didn’t happen in laruen boebert’s kitchen. Her kid in jail for stealing cars. Family Values indeed.
Hhmm she is in the kitchen too.. that’s not the ideal spot to place modern #woman. But that’s the republicans for you!! #gop #SOTU2024 #SOTU #Biden #trump
