Weird, because the push to replace Biden seems awfully like conservative propaganda to discourage people from voting.

Only way to have rights guaranteed for the LGBT communityvis to have more left-leaning justices than right-leaning ones at all times.
A few years back, some log cabin Republicans walked beside a sports car in the Austin Pride Parade. You could tell exactly where they were because the crowd fell silent as they passed. It was cool hearing the silence move down the street, nobody booed we just ignored them.
There have been members of the community aligned with the far right for a long time. There was even a hugh ranking gay nazi that worked for Hitler before he outlived his usefulness and IIRC ended up in a concentration camp.
The laws governing public schools should apply to any school that receive public funds. Many private schools would quickly crumble given how chaotic and disorganized I’ve heard they are from teachers that left working in private schools.
Segregation should not be allowed in the education system.
From what I can tell, they didn’t bar posters for other religions on the walls next to it.
Another head of the hydra choped off, how many more heads will grow back?
I’m sure the megachurch will still be around, question is how many other churches will spring out of its congregation and how many more victims will they all make.
Bush wouldn’t have dodged that shoe without quick reflexes. Haha
Trump won TX in 2020 by only 631,221 votes. If we have better turnout this year, we could make TX blue! The polls are only busy on the final day to vote, even though we have a 2 week long voting period with the polls open during the same hours as election day during the entire 2nd week of voting. Don’t wait until the last day and check if your local polling places are open on the weekend!
For those in TX, the last day to register to vote is Oct 7.
Voting goes from October 21-Nov 1, with one final day to cast your vote on Nov 5.
Applications to vote by mail must be received by Oct 25.

That would lead to false charges against political opponents or lead to laws that declare certain things as a felony to prevent certain populations from office.
The Jade Helm Scare was before that and I wouldn’t be surprised if there were other efforts before that.
Thats interesting, i hadn’t heard that before! Looks like Biden received 5,244,103 votes in New York, which is 15,023 less than he received in TX.
Looks like TX just needs more of the urban population to turnout to cou tractor the red rural parts.
It could happen if we could get more people to the polls.
In 2020, there were 21.5 million people in the voting age population, of which 16.95 million were registered to vote, and of those 11.3 million cast a vote. Of the votes, Trump receuved 5,890,347 votes and Biden received 5,259,126.
Hopefully we will have even better turnout this Oct/Nov. We were the first state to have an in-person early voting period and unfortunately, over 40 years later, isn’t well-utilized.

Wouldn’t that be double jeopardy since he has already been tried and convicted by the court?
If he was found guilty of a crime, couldn’t he then be removed from office? The Constitution says that they “shall hold their Office during Good Behavior”. Surely being convicted of a crime would be the opposite of “Good Behavior” and disqualify them from office.
No, but they’ll make sure that you get some trauma
This doesn’t address what she found or the fact that her stance changed. TLDR below. From the article:
"But after taking office and examining hundreds of pages of curriculum, Gore was shocked by what she found — and didn’t find.
The pervasive indoctrination she had railed against simply did not exist. Children were not being sexualized, and she could find no examples of critical race theory, an advanced academic concept that examines systemic racism. She’d examined curriculum related to social-emotional learning, which has come under attack by Christian conservatives who say it encourages children to question gender roles and prioritizes feelings over biblical teachings. Instead, Gore found the materials taught children “how to be a good friend, a good human.”
Gore rushed to share the news with the hard-liners who had encouraged her to run for the seat. She expected them to be as relieved and excited as she had been. But she said they were indifferent, even dismissive, because “it didn’t fit the narrative that they were trying to push.”
So, in the spring of 2022, Gore went public with a series of Facebook posts. She told residents that her backers were using divisive rhetoric to manipulate the community’s emotions. They were interested not in improving public education but rather in sowing distrust, Gore said.
“I’m over the political agenda, hypocrisy bs,” Gore wrote. “I took part in it myself. I refuse to participate in it any longer. It’s not serving our party. We have to do better.”"
TLDR Far right republican ran on platform saying that schools are indoctrination students to be progressives. She spent many nights and weekends going over the curriculum for the district and found no evidence to support her previous claims and in her excitement, she told her supporters what she found. They didn’t believe her and she was so disgusted that she changed her platform.
Billy Graham wasn’t around in 1860. The article said that he died in 2018 at age 99, so he was born in either 1918 or 1919 nearly 60 years after 1860.
According to the 1960 Census, taken during Graham’s lifetime, it appears the numbers dont line up with your statement. In 1960, the total population was 179,323,175 and the total nonwhite population was 20,491,443. If we keep the 1 in 20 estimate (or 5%), then there was an estimated 8,966,159 LGBTQ+ people in 1960, less than half of the amount of the non-white population. about 4 times as many non-whites in 1860 during the other guy’s lifetime.

Edit: just realized I was mistaken and have corrected my statement. Sorry about that!
Biden was only behind Trump by 600,000 votes in 2020. Biden actually received more votes in TX than NY, but we still need better voter registration and turnout rates.
