Republicans will do ANYTHING to support fossil fuels and the companies that make huge profits from them. They’ll even pass laws restricting first amendment free speech rights.
Hypocritical Republicans posture as the party of free speech. Except when it’s speech they don’t like.

‘Life’s unexpected turns and twists are what make being human interesting. Don’t fear the unknown…plan for the future the best you can, and then run forward into it, with open eyes, mind and heart.’ ~jg
I don’t remember sharing this thought two years ago, but according to Facebook I did. It sounds like something I’d say, so I guess I believe it. I’m also a little too lazy to actually scroll back to check.
Anyway, it seems even more appropriate now, as we’re trying to vaccinate our way out of The 2020 Pandemic. COVID-19 has proven to be an unexpected twist like no other, an abrupt turn of events that literally brought our lives to a standstill. You can’t plan for these things. Or live in fear of the next one. You can only hope to survive. To stay safe and healthy. So you can run forward into another new day after this one, with hope for the future, however unexpected it may become.
I hope everyone stays safe and well. Wear a mask, even if you’ve gotten the shots. Wash your hands. Be kind. ~jg
Here’s what The First Amendment says about offensive speech: -I have the right to offend you. -You have no right to protection from being offended.
We The People…
You can choose to be offended at pretty much everything I say, if you like. And if that bothers me, or if I’m offended by anything you say, that’s too fucking bad for me. But that’s okay. Because I also have the right to ignore you. And I will.
I can see why Democrats are nervous about killing the Filibuster. Why? Because it will be gone FOREVER. Permanently. No take backs. Both parties might have to actually have to start governing, instead of just blaming the other for everything. Don’t believe me? Hear me out.

The Filibuster. Time to go away for good.

Let’s say the Republicans come back to hold a majority in the Senate. I prefer that this never happens, of course. At least not THIS Republican party. Anyway, let’s say they do take back the Senate.
The LAST thing they would do is reinstate the Filibuster. Because if they DID, they would suddenly need 60 votes to pass anything instead of just 50. Why would they want to give the Democrats 10 votes? They wouldn’t.
Democrats should repeal the Filibuster immediately, and start governing. Expect the Republicans to do the same when they get a majority. Everybody needs to put on their big boy pants and learn to compromise.
Both parties need to start serving the people who elected them, not just the corporations and rich bastards who exploit the rest of us for their own gain. We’re tired of dying so the rich can get richer and have more power to fuck us in the ass with.
Is it just me, or is legalization a no-brainer? The TRUE Green New Deal includes Cannabis! Just about every state with legal weed is benefitting during the pandemic thanks to these ‘essential businesses’ which have thrived, creating super necessary jobs during this pandemic. Win fucking win. ~jg
