We Lost the Battle for the Republican Party’s Soul Long Ago

It seem to me, you know, someone who knows about as much of this stuff as randy, that the Goergia stuff would be the easiest to prosecute and convict. If they can get it in before their shield DDD from prosecution law.

i’ve been thinking that the delay might be due to more serious charges right around the corner from the DOJ or Georgia

It’s a complicated situation. I would guess there’s not nearly the degree of coordination among prosecutors that many think. We’re talking about three entirely different sovereign bodies.

I wonder how long it would take to bring charges if this exact same shit were perpetrated by Hillary or Obama...

One of the VERY amusing things to me is that, if the audio of the “perfect” Georgia call was just released for the first time today, it would absolutely be a so-called smoking gun. It’s everything, on tape.

None of us can know for sure, and as much as it seems to be accepted fact that the Bragg case against Trump is the weakest of the plethora and as much as we'd prefer one of the alternatives be prosecuted first, the emboldened part of fish's post above is exactly what I've been hearing. Not to mention, if AG Garland were to ask Bragg to hold off, it could be characterized as "deep state" meddling by the cult.

We need more books not less. More access to books, not less. More variety of books, not less.

We need less politicians...lets start taking them off the shelves.

Don't we exist in a society with unlimited access to books

Amazon does next day delivery of any book you can imagine

Are there no prisons? And the work houses, surely they are still in operation?

I don't think randy understands references to Dickens.

Unless you'd like to deliver story books with two moms to elementary schools. THAT is a bridge too far.

we need access to books for people who don't have the internet, for people who can't afford Amazon. Books should be plentiful and as close to free as possible. It would do wonders for society.

In fact, if we could shut down all social media and forums and have people use that time reading books instead...we might just start to climb out of the desperate hole we've dug.

a number of posters would go crazy without their social media feeds

Isn’t like 1 in 5 US adults illiterate?

And more than half are below a 6th grade reading level

Supposedly. I struggle to believe it too.

But at least it’s something I read somewhere, right?

if KCrim is an effective indicator, i’d say those figures are pretty spot-on

See, this is exactly why Sarah Huckabee Sanders wants to bring back child labor, so the kids can afford to buy books. Does everything have to be a free lunch with you people?

if we had more books and less tablets I bet that number would improve

[TDub]

also i read something similar...but I think it was more along the lines of reading at a 6th grade level as opposed to totally illiterate.

Which....makes sense...most Facebook, instagram, and tik tok content is posted at a 6th grade level.
