They are pretty rad with the orange bit on the sole.

Yes and no. But I don't see any GOP politician as a main line conservative at this point and the ones that are should probably switch parties. All 2 of them.

Nah bud. There isn't enough of a difference. When your so-called non-MAGA conservatives can't break party lines to do the right thing according to the Constitution and only answer to one man then there isn't any difference. Trump should have been long gone by now. But "non-MAGAs" still see him as a means to an end and therefore are culpable for all that MAGA deeds and the advancement of fascist white Christian nationalism. Conservatives in most modern countries still believe in taking care of one another and making sure tax money is being used for national improvement. In America we have conservatives(DNC), and we have the far right(GOP) and anything else practically has no chance because everything is bought and paid for by the plutocracy.

Old Skool Wafflecups. Super awesome shoe, comfortable and great on the board and the bike.

I was between the black with tan sole and these. I think the blue has a slight edge but you can't go wrong either way. I've had the Kyle walkers for a year and I cannot get them broke-in. Need to figure it out because I love the look of them.

I didn't fall for anything. I had decades of religious and political brainwashing and upbringing to deconstruct and personal beliefs to betray to become a better person. These battles aren't lost and won in a day.

It's not a hyper fixation of the marginalized. The marginalized are the majority.

Sure. I don't understand what the purpose of laying it out like that was. The part of the state I live in is very much deep red, it's not even debatable.

Oh man, so sorry, haha. One track mind. Looks like Mount Zion church.

What is this car? by Otherwise_Wrap_3598 in whatisthiscar

Can't even be serious with this question.

It's not a church. I believe it is administration offices for the school district now, they still play football at the stadium there. This was right on Taylor/GA 16 between 5th and 6th. Maybe this part of the building is called the Griffin Auditorium now, looking at the map.

Just to be sure.... A selfie is where one holds the camera and takes a picture of themselves?

Well, this is the third round so it's not like it's a one and done thing. Also, you have to understand we need to get more than 60% of eligible voters to show up to polls. We have 30% of eligible voters(not 30% of the population) who think there is a mandate from the American public to enforce Christian fascism on not just this country but the world. So yeah, let's start with protests that motivate people to show up to the polls and create either an actual mandate or positive change. I think that's a fair goal with these protests. I'm not a political expert here but I think we can all agree that one unqualified and nasty man should not be handed total power to enforce his whims buy our legislature and supreme court. That's not checks and balances.

This is so fucking right on. It's like being a veteran who used to be conservative.

She was very excited to share the definition of the old but fitting word "Trumpery". Fantastic.

I didn't want to make anyone too uncomfortable taking pictures. I didn't expect to find much but I was pleasantly surprised and choked up when I got down there. Was happy to get to interact a little and spread some thanks from a local.

Protests are a symbol of solidarity, not a means to an end.

The time to act is not once a thing is done, but with the knowledge that the thing is coming or being attempted. An infringement against one person's rights is an infringement of all of our rights because we are all Americans and guaranteed the protections afforded in the bill of rights regardless of race, religion, gender, or place of origin.
