      @@LivingroomTV-me9oz The "A" stands for adultery. In the book, which takes place in a Puritan community, the alleged adulteress had to wear a red "A" so people would know about her sin and treat her accordingly. One theme of the book seems to be that Hester Prynne (the adulteress) was punished because she didn't conform.
      That seems to be Mace's point. That she's being fussed at for being a woman who used her voice in opposition to most Republicans. That's giving her the benefit of the doubt. She may have just been trying to sound smart for a bunch of people who wouldn't understand the reference and wouldn't bother to ask for an explanation.

    • @nvzblgrrl
      @nvzblgrrl Před 6 měsíci +16

      ​@amazingdoggo ...I think you missed the part where her 'partner' in adultery was a man in a position of authority in the community for years, who was just as complicit but escaped equal treatment because of his position and Hester's silence/refusal to implicate him. Either way, her reference is improperly used because her situation is based on her active + continuous actions rather than 'I have transgressed once in the name of love and my community wishes to punish me for it while my lover disowns me to cover his own ass'.

      The republicans have to keep George Santos in congress or they lose their majority and the democrats are back in charge. I personally believe that to actually be a republican in office there is now a requirement to be one of the following; a wife beater, sexual assaulter, believe women are property of men so they can do whatever they please to them, pedophile or in Gym Jordan;s case, not report sexual assault of your students, a criminal or just a plain old bigot.

    My favorite Bigfoot sighting was when a guy named Aron Ra was hitchhiking at night and some coyotes started stalking him. So to scare them off, he started bellowing at them whenever they got too close. Apparently some people saw him from a distance, because when he got to town people warned him that he should probably find a place to stay for the night because several people had seen Bigfoot prowling around.
    It didn't occur to him until later that HE was the Bigfoot they had spotted. 🤣
    For context, he's a big dude with long hair, and he was wearing an old sweater at the time, so he had an incredibly hairy silhouette.

      AOC says this won't happen because it's unheard of for a speaker of another party to vote for your nominee, being in the opposing party. HOWEVER, I hear they have one on board already, soooo..... fingers crossed for big historic moment.
      This act, of Republicans voting for Jeffries, would basically mean the Republican Party is dead at this point, with its own members showing zero confidence in it. The GOP is drowning and struggling to keep its head above water. The longer this goes on the longer that head will disappear below the surface each time. Until it finally no longer reappears, drifting down to its watery grave. It may be loud as it surfaces, screaming in desperation whatever it thinks might work to get somebody to save it.... but no one wants to. Not even its de facto leader, the Trumpaloompa.
