Taliban, US government...Sharia, Christian...

So hard to tell the difference, don't you think?

Why just this last week (thank you, anythingoes), vastly male ,vastly Republican lawmakers in Missouri thought they'd redefine what they think women should look like in public and adopted a law to enforce it. No more bare arms. Oh, don't worry, men, apparently you're all good to go.

[quote]...The House's existing dress code defined proper attire for women as "dresses or skirts or slacks worn with a blazer or sweater and appropriate dress shoes or boots," according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. It also had rules about men's clothing, though no one sought to update them this week.

Republican state Rep. Ann Kelley proposed an amendment that would require women to wear jackets — defined as both blazers and knit blazers — because "it is essential to always maintain a formal and professional atmosphere."

Several House Democrats were quick to push back, deriding the proposal as sexist, impractical and even hypocritical. "Yep, the caucus that lost their minds over the suggestion that they should wear masks during a pandemic to respect the safety of others is now spending its time focusing on the fine details of what women have to wear (specifically how to cover their arms) to show respect here," tweeted Democratic Rep. Peter Merideth.

And the "Wall Eye Queen" who was trumps liar in chief.......Sarah Huckabee "Would you like lies with that" Sanders..........who just became Governor or Arkansas FIRST action after being sworn in was to sign an E.O that makes it is a misdemeanor to now say "LatinX" anywhere in Arkansas. Punishable by a fine and or jailtime.

I'm SURE that is why she was elected. The NUMBER ONE PRIORITY in Arkansas........to makeit illegal to say "LatinX". ;-)

Ever driven thru Arkansas? Talk about shithole third world country...............but what REALLY needs addressing is racist based censorship. ;-)

@Graylight IKR? The forever battle cry of the right is "OMG look at the rights the Dems take away from you"---------and yet every single one of them that hits office first order of business is to tell you they are taking the First Amendment away from us. In Florida you can't say "gay" anymore. In Arkansas you can't say "LatinX" anymore. But the irony is....none of them seem to catch on. While they ban what we can read....what we can wear.....whate we can say...what women can do with their own bodies......they are ignoring the fact it is them who are taking away from us.

@anythingoes477 Complete bullshit... that had NOTHING to do with gays which liberals are OBSESSED with, and it is very good and productive to stop tribalizing and dividing on basis of fake race and fake words

@scrood Real enough to present Huckabee’s actual words on a government website.

How deep is that hole in the sand?

@scrood You live in cult fantasy world or hero worship. Look around. While praising the 2nd Amendment every Republican wants the rest of the Constitution torn up. The traitor just said that would be his main goal....so he could be dictator without an election. The 1st Amendment is in the Constitution too. But in Florida the word "gay" is banned. In Arkansas you cant say "LatinX" now. In Missouri the dresscode for women just went back to 1911. Books are banned. Teachers fired for teaching actual history. Civil rights should be eliminated . Women deserve to be paid less...told what they can do and not do with own bodies. Mickey Mouse is mow our arch enemy.

If want fake.....tell us what school Critical Race Theory is taught in.... anywhere in any high school in America. Yet that is the Republican main focus. We have to end.. .....what never existed. Yea! What leadership. But thank god the FIRST order of business for the new Republican House was to pass the most needed thing in America......legislators can now smoke again around the Capital. Nothing else needed to have a priority.......but smoking in public again. Wow. If youre looking for fake. ..tell us about Santos.

@anythingoes477 Best part about it? Less than 3% of polled Latinos have even heard the term Latinx and fewer than 1% use the term. It’s more legislation against fairy tales.

It’s also in direct violation of the first amendment of the United States Constitution, so I wouldn’t expect this to be a story for long.

@Graylight its rascism for the sake of racism...and screw the 1st Amendment. Its playing to the bigotry and hatred of the ignorant....for votes.

Its just like the great demon.....Critical Race Theory in schools ...that never was in schools. Pick something that is nonexistant....but its a hot button trigger for the stupid ......and say "if you elect me ill fix this"....then sit back and smile at the ignorance of your own constituency. How can you not look great to voters when you promise to fix something that was never a problem in the beginning?

@Graylight Which proves who are the racial agitators who want to tribalize and incite race war, but never want to repatriate anyone LET ALONE THEMSELVES!!! If they hate Republicans and Americans so much why don't they just leave?

Graylight · 51-55, F

@scrood Do you leave when rats and roaches infiltrate and infest your home? No, you eradicate the problem.

We have a problem with ignorance, racism and gleeful hate. It will be eradicated.

scrood · 31-35

@Graylight Like roaches to raid, right?

You can't legislate AGAINST particular viewpoints because that's against human nature, it's impossible, even if you radicals following in the footsteps of Sverdlov, Lenin, Mao, and Tito make this a NOT free country which it isn't a free country anymore, you can't change human nature or biology. Unless you modify your RNA to factory patented gene sequences, then you are NO LONGER fully human and are owned by ModeRNA and Bill Gates, which is the exception
