🔥 JUST NOW: “LET KIDS LEARN!!”

A Tennessee House committee disrupted, forced to adjourn over Lamberth & Watson’s cruel bill to keep undocumented kids out of schools (aimed at SCOTUS) — as the entire audience repeatedly recited the pledge of allegiance. 🇺🇸

It’s only a matter of time until Trump rewrites it as a Pledge of Allegiance to HIM, so it might be a good thing for resisters to claim it as their own.

"One Nation, Under Trump, with liberty and justice for all"

AND

All pictures of Jesus Christ replaced in all Churches across the United States, with Pictures of Trump

The MAGAots would love it to be so, even the religious and evangelicals.......

"With liberty and justice for US, and scorn and ridicule for THEM."

I already know which side I will be fighting for once the shooting starts. And it won't be the jag-offs reciting shit they don't believe in, I guarantee that much...

Fuck Donald Trump, and ANYONE who even can abide that piece of shit or his henchmen in the 1/3rd Reich...

I pulled up behind a really expensive model Porshe at a traffic light a few weeks ago. It had a bumper sticker....What kind of idiot puts a bumper sticker on a car that expensive?????? I finally got close enough to read it, and it said:
GOT MINE
FUCK YOU

WOW, A PERFECT BUMPER STICKER THAT REFLECTS OUR CURRENT SOCIETY......

I sat there, for a full minute, questioning how much my insurance would increase, if I put my 9000lb Truck in compound low four wheel drive, and let out the clutch, crawling up over his beloved matcho Porche..........

The National Traffic people have rated a 20 mile stretch of I-25 just north of Denver, as having the HIGHEST road rage incidence in all of America......AND, the front range of Denver to Fort Collins as having the highest incidence of GUN shootings......

Colorado is a nominally "blue" state...I am stuck in deep red East Kansas...err, Misery...um,...Missouri.
But what you describe on the roads around Denver feels pretty much like the roads around the St. Louis area too...

We have a schism in this country between not red and blue though, more and more I feel its between sane and lunatics.

Okay. This is pretty brilliant.

What kind of public relations nightmare are you willing to face if you're seen ordering the arrest or forced removal of people holding flags and reciting the pledge?

Including children. Honestly I'm shocked they didn't drag children out because that's where we are at in TN which is the very reason these people were there today.

What times we live in. Just unbelievable.

One nation, under Trump, with liberty and justice for none. Except the super rich. They worked so hard! We just don't appreciate them, and all they've done for us. The shame. We should be glad they got big welfare checks -- I mean, tax cuts.
