Why do all the craziness always have a pre-scripted documents for speeches? Surely if you are this far down the rabbit hole you know your conspiracies off the topic of your head? And if you are this batshit insane....how are you that nervous at public speaking?
It always boggles my mind how prepared they are

They've done their own research mate.
I assume she wasn't aware of the US camps for Asian-American's during WWII - or would that be that Critical Race Theory that the US are so scared of?

I think it's because otherwise they couldn't generate the power to think of the words and say them at the same time! That probably took the poor woman 2 months to prep.
It’s a possibility.
Gotta have those speaker notes, otherwise she wouldn’t know what to do with her hands.Why do all the craziness always have a pre-scripted documents for speeches?

I would venture to guess that’s not the only thing she doesn’t know about.
If we somehow make it to the other side of whatever the shitstorm of stupidity is I wonder if the history books will treat Zuckerberg as poorly as he should be treated. Probably not as by then we most like will have history books that consist of the second amendment, a wildly rewritten first amendment, the lyrics to god bless America, and a 500 page breakdown of each season of the apprentice.
Facebook has a lot to answer for.
Flushing more of my tax dollars down the drain.
Nobody likes Mark Zuckerberg or Facebook. History will destroy him.
Aren't these awarded to companies close to republicans who make a killing.
Going to easily be the key antagonist in the downfall of modern society.
Wish they had played the entire applause out in that clip. It would have been interesting to hear its length & volume.
And millions more of WI taxpayers money if they "investigate" the voting machines that then will have to be replaced.
The most maddening thing? THIS IS A DEM STATE! Every statewide office is Dem. Biden won the state. One Senator is a Dem and the other is a borderline psycopath who likely won't run again cuz he gonna get crushed. However, and it is a big fecking however, this state is so gerrymandered that the R's have 63% control of the legislature. Ingest that for a moment. Insane.
Corrupt.
Nothing to hide. Oh, no.
Can't listen now. What's the context here?
Texas bans abortions after 6 weeks

Seems a really low cut off limit ... presumably as with most things America it boils down to partisan stuff

My guess is that it is re: the 1/6 commissions request for telecom companies to submit the records for the insurgent congress people. McCarthy released a statement yesterday threatening retribution on those companies when the GQP regains control of the house. Not at all the behavior of people who have nothing to hide....
It's a heartbeat law. It's Republicans continuing to see how much of abortion they can block without their laws being tossed out by the Supreme Court. This one is particularly bad, as anyone in breach of the law would have to pay a large fine to the person that identified them. So if a woman is raped, tries to get an abortion outside the confines of this law, and is identified as such by the rapist - then she would have to pay a fine to the rapist. It's insane.
Oh, they're passing voting suppression legislation in Texas at the same time as well. Obviously the Republicans are all about Liberty!!!!!.
Yeah, very subtle.
Pregnancy usually starts around two weeks before conception as well, the count starts at the last menstruation cycle.
Wait, isn't that essentially government interference in free market activities, or worse official investigations?
I hope the telco's burn every fecking one of them.
I knew Texas was a backwards state, but I didnt expect the Spanish inquisition.
Good man
Looking forward to Gym's testimony and phone records
Just from a practical point of view the timescale for people to realise they are late... then get a home kit... then get to a doctors for a test... then book a procedure... yeah that seems very tight / difficult
I'd chuckle and post a funny gif or Zach G laughing but this shit is really frightening.
I think the abortion issue is perfect insight into the American right. You have a group of people who revel in cruelty to pretty much everyone who is not white as soon as they are born who will do anything to make sure they get born so they can have a target for their cruelty.
Obviously, the whole thing is evil. I mean, they even added an unconditional (to my knowledge) snitch bonus to the law. It's pretty clear.
In the meantime, Trump's changes to the Supreme Court might finally start paying off for the abortion prehistorians:
What is public opinion on abortion like?
What is public opinion on abortion like?
Just like almost everything the GQP is against the majority is in favor of it.

Thanks. It's amazing how the GOP do not seem to represent the majority of Americans on almost anything - yet because of the totally messed up system of representation, they continue to get senate and house majorities, appoint lots of judges, etc. I don't need to tell you that of course (especially after what you were saying about Wisconsin the other day), but it's mind-boggling. I'd have a similar criticism of Canada's political system, but it's another couple of degrees worse in the US.
I'd say representative democracy is on a scale, and the US is pretty low on it. (As is any country with First Past The Post elections; but not quite as low as the US.)
A pint for Suzanna. She deserves it.
As someone on Twitter/Reddit/Facebook pointed out, I am pretty sure Candace is OK with, say, a bakery refusing to make a cake for a gay wedding.
I'd like to pause now for a moment of prayer for Covid as it enters battle with Candace Owens.
