As racist crimes continue to rise, we must ALL do our best to stop racism, hatred, and violence. This affects every community, in every state in this country.
It’s just shocking that anybody would think that the fiasco over some smaller schools trying to withdraw from the South Bend school district suggests that members of the Indiana GOP might (gasp!) be even the tiniest bit racist. After all, Donald Trump declared that he was the least racist person in the whole entire universe, and he is the deity to whom all these legislators pray almost daily.
Fossil fuel air pollution kills 1 in 5 people on earth, according to a new study by Harvard and British Universities. Yet Indiana Republicans passed laws trying to halt NIPSCO’s planned transition from coal to clean, green energy. Republicans scream that abortion kills, but have no problem when air pollution kills.
I have to say, the way Mayor Snedecor has basically quit trying to do his job and has left Hobart residents to fend for themselves while destroying local businesses is almost impressive. The GOP is pretty serious about not giving a darn about people, and I guess it shows how committed he is to his new party. When can we show this clown the door already?
The Indiana GOP lawmakers are working hand-in-hand with the wealthy corporations and slumlords who only want their money. They don’t care that there is a pandemic and people are out of work. You will be thrown out on the street because money is more important than people.
A grade school student council behaves more like adults than the Indiana House of Representatives.
Trump has faced practically no resistance in turning the Republican party into a petty dictatorship. Lickspittles like Lindsey Graham, Jim Jordan, and Matt Gaetz, are rewarded and dissenters like Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney, and Ben Sasse are threatened and being lined up for banishment. Even Adam Kinzinger’s family has turned against him. Now, the Republican party. Tomorrow, the entire republic.
Carla Sands, Trump’s ambassador to Denmark, violated the Hatch Act not once, but twice. She used her official media account to solicit donations to Trump’s campaign fund, and then, even after being warned, used the same account again to claim that Kamala Harris was not eligible to be the Democratic vice presidential candidate. The Biden administration must now decide whether or not to hold her accountable for these brazen violations of the law. If they don’t, what’s to keep officials from adopting these violations as standard practice? Do it!
Gasoline has now pushed into first place and my highest weekly expense. I want to thank Joe for getting rid of those nasty pipelines. I can’t wait to see his next move. Every executive order he makes costs me money!
A hate-filled, Trump-incited Republican mob attacked police and our Capitol. But now Republicans are calling Democrats (joined by 7 Republicans who voted to convict) “hate filled” for trying to hold Trump accountable. How on earth is it “hate filled” for Congress to hold those responsible for the attack accountable? It’s not. It’s more Republican lies to cover up their many previous lies. See how that works?
Well, you right-wing nut jobs have lost Rush Limbaugh, but you still have Tucker Carlson, Mark Levin, Alec Jones, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, and 90% of the Republican party.
All you people complaining about Trump … he’s been out of office for a month, but he still won Indiana 57.1% to 41%. The people that are reading your comments and agreeing with them are on the losing end.
