it's a good one. you can really appreciate the difference between the caring left and the pathetic, hate-filled, lie spewing right.

They can't win on jobs or economic issues so they don't have much left to run on. She brought up inflation as if that was caused by Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) because conservatives don't like ESG. They would love to destroy the world for profit if they could get away with it.

that is designed to treat working people as worthy humans is enough to throw a hearing over? And really what is Congress even doing interfering with the policies and procedures of private companies? It just sounds more and more and more like 1984. the witness here even looks and sounds like a robot.

but the lunacy is how this person tried to connect transgender children to it somehow. Mandy Gunasekara worked in Trump's EPA and was in charge of withdrawing the US from the Paris Climate accord and blocking many clean energy initiatives.

Watch this nine year old hysterically address a school board meeting about offensive Black Lives Matters posters she is forced to endure looking at posted on the walls of her school.

While the lady sitting in the background to the little girl's right bursts into exuberant approval and pride. Likely the little girl's mother who authored the young girl's public racist response as she chastised being indoctrinated by the likes of the terrorist group - BLM.

.... not a threat from without our borders but rather from within.... we were warned Fascism would often be wrapped in the shroud of the American flag while professing to represent patriotism and often in unison with a golden cross of Jee-buzz prominently hanging from the neck.

Achtung America,... the Nazis are kicking in your front door - adamant to gain entry and decimate your political systems of Democracy.

Cant believe such people are invited guests to speak their vile thoughts as if were normal sane people…under the hood you will see Christian nationalism waving the fascist flag.

It’s now when fascism comes to America … will be proudly and sincerely…wearing the Cross and burying the Flag!

The dead eyes, why do they all have the same dead eyes?? ☠️ 👀

to me it was just a list of right wing talking points that were programmed into these people by RW TV and radio.
As Rep. Balint said, they're equating everything in life to these attack words and phrases.

It's like they're the robotic voices you hear on phone calls that try to sell you something, and aren't able to deviate from their programmed list of things to say.

They've politicized the word "politicized." Their posture is that once they've used a word weapon, that's it. They can no longer be accused of doing what they've just done. Wrong. We all know what projection is.

calling them out. They come in with their talking points only, but cannot explain them. I hope we will see more of this.
