My property isn’t affected AND My donors aren’t affected AND My family isn’t affected THEN I don’t see a problem.

As an atheist, I’m pretty fed up with the fact that our local city and county council meetings start out with a “non-denominational” invocation (never mind Jesus is invoked on occasion).
In general, I find public display of religious affection embarrassing and completely out of line. I tolerate it, but it makes me want to puke. It has absolutely no place in a secular, public policy setting. It’s also clear to me that it is not an innocent attempt to bring religion to a meeting but an attempt to push a clearly political point of view. A “lifestyle choice” if you will.
It’s a difficult step for me personally, but I would love to see citizens come forward during public comment at these meetings to politely push back and request to eliminate these invocations because they are clearly political and an incredible waste of time and public money.
That’s my suggestion as one place to start.
Elon Musk has laid bare an essential truth I have speculated about in private for many years.
Scott Adams is IN FACT rubber and the media is INDUBITABLY glue. QED.
I’m old enough to remember when this would’ve made the entire republican party shit their pants. In public. In church. On the floor of congress…
“I have been silenced” is akin to “stop resisting arrest” while the cop wails on you with his billy club.
They forgot to include the “naughty when wet” tee.
I remember that. I would call it watching movies on the wall.
I agree. We need to remain vigilant. But I think a POS like Ron DeSantis is a far greater threat than MTG. She’s just a fucking boor and needs to be ignored or mocked.

I have to admit that I came late to Twitter and really never paid attention to it until I found that I could get pretty solid information about what was going in in Ukraine and Iran. The main thing I notice here is more of a laid back, nuanced attitude about "things". Twitter seems to have a lot of really touchy, short fusers that get played by these trolls.
