It would be very very hard, but Rep Higgins certainly makes it look easy.
Birdie
He is nothing but an embarrassment to Louisiana. His FB page is filled with what sounds like drunken rantings.
Isn't it really bad for your kidneys?
I was once standing with my family in our breakfast nook, and a large ball of blue light floated in through the closed kitchen window. It was about the size of a basketball, very bright, kinda sparkly, and it was some sort of electricity, because it made all our hair stand straight up.
It just hovered in the middle of the kitchen for a minute, while my family and I stood there with our mouths hanging open, then it slowly dissipated. We all looked at each other in disbelief, then continued setting the table like nothing had happened.
I'm still not sure what it was. I call it ball lightning, but I really don't know. It was a beautiful sunny day, not stormy at all.
Of course they're a group. Each church is comprised of a group of people with like beliefs.
And while there are Baptist churches that are more friendly to LGBTQ people, there's a reason this man had to hide who he was from the people in his particular church.
They'll take off debts from active companies if you have a police report, because I've had that done when my identity was stolen.
Guys, he not only was a Republican, he was a Baptist preacher. He aligned himself with these two LGBTQ hater groups.
Maybe he joined the GOP and the Baptist denomination in an attempt to shield his lifestyle, but he willingly belonged to these two groups which both actively HATE LGBTQ and condemn his very lifestyle.
I have a lot of sympathy for people who feel they must disguise their true selves in order to protect themselves...and I respect that he tried to reach out and offer support to others online.
But I'm hearing some very disturbing 'rumors' that he posted hateful, stalking, character assassination of particular people online. And accusations of child porn.
I'm going to reserve my sympathy for him for now, until the whole truth is known.
The man who was killed was 37, not a teen.
This absolutely needs a federal investigation.
Mitch McConnel shelved it during Trump's presidency, iirc or maybe that's just a fever dream.
My state has already passed legislation to stay year round in DST, if only our freaking Congress would approve it.
I occasionally pick up food items from Target. It's less than a mile away, and if I am out of almond milk, I'll get it there rather than travel a longer distance. Sometimes I pick up a bottle of wine.
I've never done a full grocery shopping, however.
It was not just a riot. It was a (thankfully failed) insurrection. He wanted to delay the counting of the electoral votes, maybe never count them at all. And if that failed, he and his minions plotted to put fake electors in place to get the votes of blue states thrown out. He pressured the VP to ignore the constitution and declare him president via the fake electors. Had Mike Pence had a little less integrity, it would have worked.
Trump's loose lips that shared secret information with foreigners. We lost many operatives around the world following his spillage of state secrets.
It's the stealing and refusing to return top secret/compartmentalized documents. It's 91 federal indictments related to all the above. It's the fact that he's under indictment in more than one state.
If none of that is enough for you:
He dismantled the US pandemic rapid response centers, sentencing many Americans to death when Covid hit. He downplayed the virus, attacked the surgeon general & mocked him, refused to wear a mask or take any precautions at all. And he led close to half the country with him, causing Covid to hit us much more severely than it could have. He suggested using bleach and light internally as a cure.
He drew on a map with a sharpie, to show us all where we should make a hurricane hit.
He's a vindictive man who delayed/withheld aid to California after devastating wildfires because they had not voted for him. "If they don't like me, I don't like them."
He is a man who acts like a toddler with the vocabulary of a third grader...a truly stupid man with mob-like tendencies.
He's aligned himself with white supremacists.
He's bragged about seeing teenage girls nude in the miss teen america dressing room. He has bragged about kissing women without their permission, of grabbing them by the pussy, talked earnestly about how big his newborn daughter's boobs would get, talked about how he'd date her if she wasn't his daughter, cheated on all his wives, buried one of them on a golf course, failed to maintain the burial site...just to save a couple of tax dollars.
He fleeced the elderly and uneducated of this country by giving them fake coins and dollars in exchange for donations. He stiffed contractors and lawyers by failing to pay them after they've earned their pay.
He is, at best, a pig who lusts for power and if he gets it back, he'll not willingly let go.
So it's not just a joke riot. Trump did actual damage and is continuing to do so today by holding the entire GOP by the balls.
I don't remember learning much about the Battle of the Bulge in school, except for the fact that it happened.
My great uncle fought in the Battle of the Bulge, and he is who I learned all about it.
