It doesn't matter if they don't get to vote .

And, there is now video out of one of them assaulting people in vehicles during BLM riots.
And, video of the other one (the one with natural hair) as a young clean shaven, short haired man speaking with no accent at Bowdoin. Compared with current video having him sounding like Al sharpton.

Interesting that they are heroes to so many.

Sure. Just more Fox lies.

DP. No lies detected in pp's post.

Justin Jones:

And, we have seen the video of Justin Pearson and his metamorphosis posted here.

Anyone who voted for Donald J Trump and his ridiculous combover (he's bald, in case you didn't know) that he styles himself and shellacs into place with hairspray every day should STFU about other people's appearances.

FFS. This is not about physical appearance. It is about a total change in demeanor, personna, voice.... the whole package.
You just don't want to admit that over 7 years this guy totally changed to someone totally unrecognizable compared to 2016.

Well if it's good enough for Republicans....

*Sen. John "Corn Pone" Kennedy of Louisiana comes to mind as someone who has very deliberately crafted a specific persona. "Some people who knew Kennedy from Louisiana politics say the politician they see on TV acts and sounds different than the person they remember. They say he used to carry himself as closer to an Oxford-educated lawyer, which he is, than a fountain of folksy rejoinders. Kennedy’s public image can sometimes verge on country bumpkin — but in fact he is one of the best-educated members of the Senate. He graduated magna cum laude from Vanderbilt University. He edited the Virginia Law Review and was elected to the Order of the Coif at the University of Virginia Law School. He went to England to earn a civil law degree with first-class honors from Oxford."

*Then there's George W. Bush, whose Texas accent (no one else in his family has one) grew thicker over the years, even though he went to a private boarding school in Massachusetts and to Yale for college. He bought his ranch a few months before becoming president and liked to pose with a pickup truck and to be filmed clearing brush, etc. You know, like he was some good ol' boy instead of the scion of a wealthy East Coast family.



Are you equally bothered by John Kennedy

No. And, the comparison you are making is ludicrous.
Post a video from 7 years prior to him being elected to Congress that shows a 180 in his demeanor.
You are desperately reaching.

So only videos count?

What about JD Vance? He redid his persona in a very short time. Are you going to call him out too?

Or is it that you feel threatened by a black man with natural hair who pumps his fists in the air — ooh scary black power symbolism!!

Kennedy comes off as very smart. He knows the law and that’s very clear by what he says. To me, it’s like MA people using ‘wicked’ all the time, even the ones with doctorates. Only in DC do people think it’s important to ‘show their smarts’ by being fancy. You can see it here in the ‘I’m better than them’ attitude.

And for Bush, as Lyle Lovett says “That’s right, you’re not from Texas”. You clearly don’t get it.

They are all correct. I don’t know one leftist who has honestly stood outside themselves, and honestly listened to other leftists. The ones that have are changing parties. More will.

Vance actually did not. You just thought he was a leftist, when in fact, he never was. He shifted right as the left shifted further left.

Vance was totally anti-Trump and is now very busy worshipping Trump. Neither of those things have anything to do with “the left.”

Separate isn’t equal. I thought we covered that already but perhaps not.

Sometimes it is.

Do people in civil unions get all the benefits of marriage— inheritance, taxation, right to be present for and direct medical treatment, stepparent adoption, health insurance, etc? If so, why do we need a different word besides right wing fragility? If not, then no, not even close to equal.

And? Is the party of personal freedoms now telling us we ALSO don’t have the right to change our appearances? Y’all certainly have a lot rules in the area of person freedoms.

His constituents clearly did not have issue with changes in appearance and manner. What do you care so much?

Why is it complicated? If two people want to dedicate their lives to each other, it is a marriage. If you don't like two people of the same sex getting married, that is a you problem, not a them problem.

Ok, I’m actually on the side of marriage equality.

I just think it would have been less religious/semantics argument if we had done the civil union licenses and ceremonies like they do in Europe. If people then want to go get the “marriage” sacrament performed, that’s their prerogative

We obviously can’t go back in time now-but it would have saved a lot trouble.

Well, don’t we. Religious institutions can’t be forced to perform gay marriages— only the government can.

TN is showing the way/ insisting on order in our assembly, and advancing smart school safety and gun control.

So proud of the Volunteer state.

He was probably told to get on the Trump bus if he wanted to have any kind of political traction in the GOP.
