The OSS psychological profile of Hitler described him thus:
"His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it."
Sound familiar?
Just substitute Doughboy Donny.
Holy cow this is terrifying to read. It’s going on right here in our backyard.
Perfectly describes ReTrumplican philosophy and FOX BS. Democrats have no response.
This profile explains why Fox is always pushing anger and outrage almost every day. Doesn't matter what the outrage is about or how silly it is. Anyone care for a green M&M?
Yes, and it's chilling how closely the 14 characteristics of fascism match the present state of things in the USA.
My freshman year I attended "Robert E. Lee" High school in 1967/68 in Fairfax County in Virginia. It got renamed last year to "John L. Lewis" High school. YAY!
That is a good thing. Lee should be treated as we do Rommel, a great general of an enemy nation.
“We are so screwed” 😂😂😂
Yup! Please run for the US Senate again!
Great work Al and thank you for standing up for truth
and exposing the Rep. falsehoods 👍🏽
Michael, I feel it is even worse than that, because a heck of a lot of Republicans DO NOT BELIEVE their party lies ARE falsehoods.
the bible is the most graphic book i ever encountered and these hypocrites have no problem with that 1.
You know most christians have never read the bible. Isaiah 13:11-18 - "I will punish the world........Their infants shall be dashed in pieces". Such a lovely god.
Al Franken was the best senator we've ever had. One of the few who actually cares about Americans. Lets hope he runs again, so we can be represented by someone who really cares, for a change.
Al for president
He was a fool for quitting.
I agree, he should run again for senate!
@@evermoreart LMAO
He’s just another party hack, trying to pit neighbor against neighbor so we don’t hold politicians accountable. I see no difference between Al and Sean Hannity.
You need to run again. You are sensible, sane, & have way more integrity than most in house & senate.❤
Like politics doesn't contain enough idiots now. He'll be in the idiot, traitor party so....there is that.
Haha! Hello again.. are we still a little worked up 😥. Anything intelligent to add? What did you think of the life long Republican and trump voting women who actually studied CRT (instead of learning about it on fox news 😂)
And believes it to be a valuable tool for learning?? Any... No..?
@@briankenyon1543 Nothing there. Just racist crap from racist Democrats. The party of racism since it's inception.

@@maryannbrown5762 Absolutely certain you are indoctinated to the point of no return.
Back during the 1960s while in high school English class a reading assignment was for a book that involved rape and the shooting of a dog.
The title is "To Kill A Mockingbird."
On television I watched Wyatt Earp and was told that for the good of civilization the carrying of guns inside a town should be restricted.
Going to the theatre to watch Walt Disney I learned to favor "Bambi" over the hunter who kills her mother.
Well the dog was rabid
@@kendallsmith1458 Clearly a Republican-owned dog.
You left out the incest!
@@kendallsmith1458 Do you mean Old Yellar? That was hydrophobia. Different book.
@@jackrasmussen4467 "To Kill A Mocking Bird" - Atticus is ordered by a constable to shoot a rabid dog coming down the street as he is known to be the best shot in the county. He has a moral quandary...
At least in the movie. I don't recall if it's in the book.
Your very enjoyable presentation of CRT really proved the blatant ignorance of so many Americans. We are drowning in stupidity and my patriotism is eroding. Public school curriculum is already watered down. Even the 'basics' are not longer taught--like life skills and what a contributing citizen acts like--oops, that one will not fly among many. I'm close to 82 years old, so my sadness of this mess is more layered than most. Anyway, Mr. Franken, you're a gift to us all want to end this sad time.
don't allow their insidious manipulation in their lingo "patriot" means "anglo racist". no exceptions in gqp lingo patriot = racist. kill the indians kill the hispanics orientals and all their mixes, kill the blacks. the russ they ignorantly believe to be "white" // the personnal *historical* pastimes of their ancestor genghis khan - and the obvious family resemblance of genghis and rasputin ...

@@brucehwang9789. . .He's not eating it! He had a hat made out of it. Learn to classify your wingnuts!
I've always loved your sense of humor but your sense of right and wrong is even more admirable!
Al Franken for President.
I'd vote for Al over Biden for President any day! But, oh wait. Wasn't there the thing with his stage kissing and comic photos? But, wait, didn't Biden also have that thing of groping in the parking garage?
p.s. Love that Al grew a 5 o'clock shadow on his lip to be the outraged father...
Got my vote

@@dhulbert855 - Grasping at straws, are we? A sure sign of desperation.
Wow.Actual regurgitation.
Al, I LOVE these live videos. Please keep them coming. Your title hit the nail on the head. Your commentary is a mix of astute observations and appropriate snark. Well Done. I STILL wish you were back in The Senate where you belong.
@@Em_Ell thanks so much 🙏🤝
You've seen "dead" videos somewhere?
*THE RULE I GREW UP ON:* _Whenever a Republican starts to complain about corruption, they are doing it themselves now._
*_"The Don, my dear friends is not about the truth..., he's about the reason there is no truth."_*
I read, _How Fascism Works_ which said corruption to the fascist means "those people" are in charge, while to the rest of us it means people using political office to line their pockets and those of their friends.

All animals are equal
But pigs are more equal than all other animals.
Who said that?
Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I can’t take this much longer! My head keeps popping off that this is something we even have to talk about this. I love you Al Frankin❤️
Their is another Term for Critical Race Theory its also called "Actual History".
The saying is, “You have to break eggs to make an omelet.”
Actually, they're separate things. Watch the video again until you can distinguish them.
They burned comic books in the 50’s, rock records in the 60’s, bras in the 70’s, heavy metal CD’s in the 80’s. Americans love burning things!
I burnt some popcorn the other day... 😂
Also, burning stuff becomes weak sauce to Americans once we get our hands on fireworks. 🎆🎆🎆💗
You always cheer me up.
Why? A voice of sanity
Thanks AL 👏👏👏
Al thanks for shining a bright light.
Thanks Al for making the truth a first priority. Miss your up front honesty in the Senate but this is the next best thing. Keep up the good work,
OMG! High school seniors are doing EVERYTHING you were doing in high school, and much more. These republican mom's are deluded. And if you (conservative parents) think that sending your kids to a Baptist high school is going to be a more sheltered environment than public high school, you are dreaming.
The GOP goal is the elimation of public education. This attack on what kids are learning is just a first step to this bigger goal.
More importantly - you are not preparing your children for reality. When they leave the "protective" bubble they will encounter a world that has evolved without them. They will have problems fitting in, creating lasting relationships, fear diversity and inclusion and one can only hope this does not result in anything antisocial as a way to cope with it.
The solution is constructive dialogue. And at the high school level you should be capable of it.
Statistically their chances of being molested at a "religious" school are way above that of a public school.
@@rachelcarmina3958 That's always the goal with them, but good luck. Had they studied history more closely, the GOP would know that not all people like to think what they're told to think. 🙄
The worst characters my daughter ever encountered were at the bible camp her grandparents sent her to. The road to Hell is indeed paved with good intentions.
As a retired teacher I'm ashamed of the way we treat different races in this country. Thirty years ago I preached that we include different race scientific and literary scholars l year. By the way I'm white. Surprise, there are open minded white people out hefr.
We are allies and represent the majority! #RepublicansRPutinsParty
#STOPGOPFASCISM
I love al franken. let's get him back on the hill where he can kick some ass!
You had me at “a good old fashioned book burning”. Keep putting these out. I have such a good cry/ laugh every time i watch one.
Thank God for Al Franken!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love from Vermont
THANK you! You were and always will be my political hero. We need your voice more now than ever before.
Thanks for the information! Please! Now run for president!! You and Katie Porter!! Did I say PLEASE? !!!!!!!!!
Pleeeeease.
A book burning influenced by a school board is sickening!
I am at a loss to figure out how one counteracts a party that has no shame about lying constantly and being complete hypocrites!
A neurological parasite that eliminates individuals who fail to meet a minimum intellectual standard.
For OP, stop trying to get them to vote Democratic. Find young people and others who don't vote or don't vote regularly and get them voting Democratic. (One Georgian said he voted for Obama in 2008 or so and didn't want to vote again until Stacey Abrams in 2018, but found he'd been purged.)
Bill you are talking about the republicans right?
Good question. What do you do about the indoctrinated, America hating, moron Democrats?
@@nuttintoseehere9141
Were they the ones that stormed the capitol to try and overthrow a fair and free election? Asking for a friend…..
Oh, man, we are so screwed! Yeah... I grew up in an Apparteid South Africa; say no more... No, I don't live there anymore. Good show, Al.
You are one of my hero's.. Should never had to quit the Senate
Excellent as always, Al. I have to wonder why nobody appears to have asked Youngkin, for example, “how many schools are actually teaching CRT?”
Yeah, our standards for journalism have fallen quite a bit in recent years.
Hannah-Jones has described The 1619 Project as a counter-narrative and contends that the scholarly and journalistic ideal of historical objectivity is naïve. “Let’s be clear: History is almost always a political project. History is the fruit of power. To argue otherwise is to not be as sophisticated as you pretend.”
We've all heard the phrase, "history is written by the victors." So here she is trying to reverse that, trying to *become* the victor by rewriting history.
Ask him to explain what it is. Shuts them down every time.
the liars knew, the stupid a-holes believed!
@@FrankBenlin
Exactly! They will come up with some lame-azz argument then you hit them with "How is it NOT racist?"
And they are befuddled for a bit. Then they say something like, "Well, it is positive racism vs negative racism - which is bad."
And you will go, "like what???"
And they will go, "like, don't ya know, if you positively discriminate it is all good, but if you negatively discriminate , you are , like, the worst - word!"
Al Franken for president!
Yes, entertaining and informative. Love it. Keep it up.
Thank you, as always, Mr. Franken for your thoughts, insight, and wonderful sense of humor! I hope you enjoy the rest of your tour!
I love your videos.
I also enjoyed your interview with Heather McGhee.
Keep the videos coming please.
Greatings from Southern California.
As a Brit I meant also to offer a feeble apology for our involvement in the gross inhumanity of the abduction of so many Africans to slavery in the west. Not to mention what we accomplished in India, Africa, Australia and God knows where else. Sadly there are still too many of us who sing Rule Britannia and mean it.
Meh. You guys did give it up long before the states did, though.. And even modern Conservatives still look for cheap labor and like to feel superior in having done nothing to earn the legacy they've been handed by the generations before them. It's a tale as old as time, and likely as not would have happened here anyway. Let's all say WE are not making the same mistakes our ancestors did. The only way now is forward, and it serves everyone to make sure all people get what they need to do well in life.
*Thank you, Al! Very enlightening.*
I love Al Franken. Wish he was still a senator.
I blame guiltybrand and her corruption
Oregon's best-ever Representative is retiring, so we would be delighted if Al moved to Oregon. Come on, Al!
at least there are the Stewart Smalley reruns for you.
@@NeilNewsNetwork He was cancelled for being a pervert if I remember correctly.
@@womanofsubstance8735 Would you forgive him if he was pro America? Didn't think so.
You funny man Al❤ only you can find humor in book burning and racism. Love ya
You’re the man!
Please, please, run again…..we support you even if we live out of state!
They ARE cheering me up. Thank you thank you thank you so much.
I've just finished reading Maya Angelou's "I know why the caged bird sings". Loved it. Has that also been banned.
It's one of the most frequently banned books these days. Because it tells the truth about how African-Americans are treated in simple ways, let alone the societal implications. Ms Angelou is arguably the most-often banned author in American literature.
@@Ronald60202 Wow. I thought her book unputdownable. Damn hard early life. A graceful woman.
Wouldnt it be nice if it were a federal crime for any elected or appointed official, paid by our tax dollars, to intentionally lie to or deliberately mislead the public.... You know, like it's a crime for tax payers to lie to Congress or the IRS or the FBI. Seems to me like the standard of accountability is put on the wrong people. Weird why that is huh?
I'm so glad you did this video, Al. I admired your work in the Senate and I wish you were still there. I've never thought there were any valid grounds for your resignation. Live long and prosper!
@Kim. I agree with you. Live long and prosper. Long live Star Trek.
Al: Really miss your wit and brains in the Senate. Figure out how to get back into the national "conversation" and give the Right-Wingers constant hell. P.S. It's cold in Mpls today, I think it's 7 above.
He only assaulted 8 women
Thank you so much, Senator Franken. It is a relief to hear the voice of sanity; especially in the form of satire! Goddess Bless!
Love it, Al. Been a fan ever since you reported from Iraq during the Gulf War with the mobile satellite on your head. So brave, so brave.
Love you SENATOR Franken! We need more people like you representing us! 😔. 💕
I *do* enjoy these. Thank you, Al.
Child: "Algebra is hard! This homework makes me so mad!" Parent: "Let me call our attorney."
Great to see Al Franken again. I think he always makes so much sense and I dont think his scandals were even anything much to worry about, Hang in there Al, we need you.
8:40 "... a law that allows parents to sue teachers that makes kids feel any discomfort, guilt, or any form of psychological distress."
Snowflakes unite! Long division brings me psychological distress - I want to sue my math teacher!
Informative AND entertaining..finally!
PLEASE RUN AGAIN. WE NEED YOU !!!!!!!
MAGA Franken was quite convincing, lol. That was great.
Thank you so much for each one of your podcasts, Senator Franken. And especially this video on Critical Race Theory... fantastic explanation. I listened to the Heather Mcghee podcast...who I did not know. I thank you for the introduction to Ms Mcghee! I loved you both in that broadcast. And now the explanation of Critical Race Theory! I laughed so hard! You are a brilliant man. When Lying Liars came out ...my children read it at my suggestion. You are the Best! Still love you after all these years!
Looking good, Al. Keep doing what you’re doing.
Keep 'em coming
Al, your videos are always enjoyable....and of course, hilarious. Like the old saying goes, "might as well laugh than cry"
Your personal integrity shows through, whether you're on the Senate floor, or doing a podcast with tongue firmly in cheek. Any chance of a future attempt to return to Congress? If so, do let me know if I can help. Best wishes, Mr. Franken.
I loved this so much that I had to watch twice! Hope some parents use this to talk to their teenagers. Run for office again!
Mr. Franken, please, please, please run for the Senate again. We have never needed you more than now!
Shine on you crazy diamond. Your humor is the best way to cut through the political bullshit. Thanks.
I was raised on Anne Franks Diary in grade school and read from Death Camp to Existentialism in high school. But I didn't know about the Tulsa Race Burnings until I saw the Watchman on HBO. We need more education not less. Love you Al. Wish I could have seen you in KC but I had a knee replacement instead. I feel there's a joke in there somewhere. I just don't know where. That's why we need you professionals.
One of my nephews got busted for downloading porn in the school library. His dad couldn't make it to the hearing (yep, the law was involved )because he was having his vasectomy reversed for his new wife. Can't make this shit up. Parents do the darndest things, eh?
This is called being busted for breaking a law. This is the way things should be, even for a kid in the school library. Dad's vasectomy has nothing to do with it.
I hope the reversed vacsectomy ...didn't take. Tsk. Tsk. Daddy. Daddy. Thank God that his son wasn't down loading porn that waa g*a*y! Cuz. Gays NEVER get vasectomies. (Gotta keep them urologists employed! Dude!)
LOL, Al! Yeah, these talks are cheering me up! Spit my coffee across the room laughing
Hugs Al, keep the videos going.
I was once told I was teaching crt because my 11th graders studied a draft of the declaration of independence and its final draft.
Specifically, we were exploring why the language about slavery was removed. When I talked about this lesson to a group of adults critical of what they THINK is CRT (and have no connection to my classroom or school), i was called a LIAR for teaching the straight facts of history. The original draft condemned slavery, but had to drop that clause to gain the support of two southern colonies who would have sided with the British otherwise. We barely won the Revolution. Without the essential backing of those two colonies, there's no way we would have won it. I didn't say it was right or wrong, but asked students to consider being stuck between a rock and a hard place having to make that call about the Declaration.
As a white person, I don't feel shame at history. Instead, I study it, try to learn from it, and then try to do better by the people in my life than our forefathers did.
CK Andrew; Salutations a True Educator' For times like these!!
I feel shame at history. Because the truth of white supremacy here is much worse than even being talked about. Specifically the horrors our military has foisted on the earth. Like ISIS for instance in the prosecution of the War on Terror. It really isn't funny anymore.
Keep teaching the truth CK!
I teach STEM and Sustainability. I have said in my classroom that the most dangerous animal on the planet is a white man in a three piece suit. Could I get in trouble for that?
@@ultramurray I might not have said "white" specifically, although, personally, I'm inclined to agree with you. In general, humans as a species are pretty awful to one another, and they're pretty awful to other species, as well. It makes me sad, but also reminds me to try to be better. Mark Twain called humans the lowest animal, and I can't disagree.
Maybe a statement like "industrialized, modern humans" might be less controversial and representative of the threats posed to the Earth as a whole. At the same time, however, the industrial revolution was led by white men in three piece suits...so in terms of stem and sustainability, your statement seems spot on.
If you enjoy reading, check out the book Technics and Civilization (1938) by Lewis Mumford. I was assigned to read it in graduate school a decade ago and was so annoyed that in a graduate degree program for online education, I was being told to read a book from the 1930s. Plot Twist: it's one of the best books I've ever read. With your focus, it might be something that blows your mind, as well.
great. please do more. I miss your fact-checking by actual facts. why isn't this front page? just the same as I thot about your books. why don't the media do this? it is their job.
It's all about ratings. Like Tucker Carlson gets! 😮🙈
@@clarkthomas354 evidently.
Because he's on the regular people's side... (Our side) the 99% of America.....
It's also because Franken doesn't present his information as anything other than information. Ergo: he doesn't get pissed off, start bouncing up and down about how they (whomever they may be) are ruining the country. He's calm, thoughtful, uses careful language and non-threatening humor to state his case. Is he biased? Yup. But he's nothing like Hannity or Carlson, who love to be insulting, affable bullies and/or victims of the "progressives."
media? scared. i dropped AP stick to th gradain.
Al we need you back in D.C. ASAP
You're a GOOD MAN, Al Franken!!!
Once as a joke my Aunt gave me a book to read. I read all the time. So did my Aunt. I was 15. It was love story about a woman sold into a Harem and of course fell in Love with her Prince. My friend would skip to all the sex parts. I still turned out okay.
I am waiting for the day when the GOP starts complaining about Science being taught in schools. Oh, wait, they started doing that 40 years ago. I expect they will soon want teachers to give equal time to the flat earth idea too. The end goal is the elimination of public education. What we are seeing are just the first steps to the big goal.
You mean equal time to biblical creationism. The student petitioned the school board for that at a Christian college in Illinois, but the science faculty refused to go along with the school board. I have found that some students by the time they enter college have never heard of evolution.
As usual Al great reporting. Miss in Washington!!
You, Al Franken, should have never left the Senate on your own accord. What you did was comical, in contrast with what the Republicans have been caught doing. Please think about running again, the State of Minnesota and the country needs you.
Sen. Al, like you and many others I am waiting for common sense to start working again, you know, for a change. Stay safe and vocal.
Common sense turns out to not be so common... Because it is learned. We must keep being positive models of critical thinking and logical argumentation. 💗
My god. That was good with the parent response.
"A break in the pornography"
Was that your brother?
you mean the actor playing a MAGA parent, I hope that is what you mean
Thanks, Al, you're a peach! ❤
You Are Fabulous Mr. Franken
you need to do more videos. beyond the awesome content, i really like hearing your voice. :)
I grew up in the city in Canada where the escaped slaves ended up. Harriet Tubman's church is an historical site. William Hamilton Merritt (builder of the Welland Canal) gave the formerly enslaved homes to live in, in a neighborhood with everyone else, not a slum. When the school on that street needed to be rebuild, it was named after Harriet Tubman and a statue was built there.. Of course we have racists in Canada. People live here. But, just a few months ago a bust of Ms. Tubman was vandalized. That church was there before Ms. Tubman came to town and no one has ever bothered it in well over a 150 years, not until Trump got into office. Our municipal elections have no party affiliations. You run as yourself, not a Liberal, Conservative or NDP (a whole party of Bernie Sanders types). The last election saw candidates homes and vehicles vandalized if they were considered "too Liberal'. This has never happened before, not until Trump.
Now we have Confederate, Nazi, QAnon and Trump flags flying in Ottawa and at border crossings. About 89% of Canadians are vaccinated and most of us just want to do whatever we have to do to get through this pandemic. We don't want to die. There have been a few protests because, again, people live here. Someone got donor lists on the GoFundMe type pages. Guess what? About 55% of the donors are AMERICAN and a large number of those are Trump supporters. Now it's spreading, all over the world. Does that remind you of anything that was happening, say about 80-90 years ago? I know, because everyone in Ontario had to take a history course in grade 10 and it covered both world wars. Maybe that's why the far right doesn't want history taught. They don't want anyone to see it coming.
You people have a big problem brewing and it's more than a giant orange oaf who refuses to admit that he lost an election. Biden could take some lessons from Trudeau. He recognized this as an insurrection and he's shutting it down. They have identified the protestors. Their bank accounts and credit cards are frozen and they can't get any money from the fundraisers. Drivers licenses and insurance are suspended. Anyone helping them faces the same. Too harsh? These huge trucks can easily be weaponized just like the planes were on 9/11. We haven't ever had to invoke the Emergencies Act - essentially what you would call Marshall Law, since, you guessed it, Trump was put in office.
I really enjoy your podcast and I apologize for using it in this way. I just realized that many of your former colleagues are probably here. They probably don't even realize that Fox News and Trump's supporters tried to take over our country. No one pays attention to us. Until about 25 years ago, Americans were still crossing the border in Niagara Falls with snow skis on their roof racks in July and were seriously confused because there wasn't any snow or igloos (I messed with them, Al. You would have been proud of me) You people need a wakeup call before we BOTH lose our countries. We're gone 5 minutes after you are. And watch out for the next protest. They're going to be using Mack Trucks, not baseball bats and pitch forks.
Thank you for this information. I am very sad to hear it, as some of us were thinking we could move there if it got too bad here. We need to work harder to get out the votes to turn this around. I'm voting blue all the way.
The sane in CA & USA unite!!! We must crush evil.
I am going to purchase all the banned books I haven't read. They are critical to every curriculum. People cannot avoid problems in this world by not being informed about them. Then people develop a narrow world view that is not realistic and discourse is hindered. Thanks Al for all you are doing.
I've always thought that super talented comedians were among the brightest, most able people in our country. " He's good enough, he's smart enough: Al Franken for POTUS! "
Make a good _Jigsaw Puzzle_ your wall of collectible's - with you in front of course
I would love that.
A day without Al Franken is like a day without sunshine.
Love you Al...come to Portland!
Thank you!
There were CRTs in all our TVs until the early 2000s. It’s about time they got those giant monitors out of our classroom.
Wait, what’s that? Watch the video before commenting? Okay, sure.
Woah! Woah! What’s happening to our country?!
Funny and Informative! 😂
That was Great. Thank you Al. Keep them coming.☮️
"Why're you crying Ashley"
Unless and until the Dems get every bit as dirty and lowdown in these fights we will never be the majority that makes the rules. It's painfully apparent that left to their own devices, Americans will not stop being racist. Laws will need to be in place of doing the right thing, all because a handful of mouth breathing hypocrites don't want to level the playing field in any significant way.
Republicans are loud because they are not the majority. 63% were registered, then 62% voted, of which 45% voted Republican, of which 70% believe Trump won, which makes 0.63*0.62*0.45*0.70= 10% of all American residents are Deplorables. Note: kids, felons and aliens don't register (or vote).
I love this guy! The Democrats really screwed the pooch when they kicked him out of the Senate.
I hope everyone is subscribed so they don't miss his regular podcast, which is fantastic. It makes me happy to hear from Al again, both his political perspectives AND his sense of humor. A spoonful of sugar definitely helps the medicine go down. Making me laugh for over four decades--bless you Senator Franken.
I cannot take seriously anybody who utters out loud, "my heart sunk".
When will republican woman start wearing long dresses and bonnets, walking 2 feet behind their husbands, etc.
They already call themselves "submissives" although "subordinate" or "subservient" would be more appropriate and not have a sexual second meaning.
Its wild that those so offended by this"crt" BS....Don't even know what it is or the fact it doesn't even get touched until college! How are you so ashamed to hear the wrongs our Country has made? That's called insecurity! How ever you choose to feel is your choice!
Exactly. Remember a few years ago when Republicans would tell liberals 'F*** Your Feelings? Now it's all they can do to preserve the delicate sensibilities of their little white snowflakes from the suggestion their ancestors and elders would engage in horrible behaviors. It's all projection and PsychOps 101 - accuse the innocent of doing the things they themselves do regularly but try to hide from public view because they know it's wrong..Grown today into ignorance writ large.
Thanks dear friend in the truth. Love you more each day. ❤
My sister noticed her daughter's and son-in-law's discomfort as she told them about Spielberg's 1998 Holocaust documentary, "The Last Days." It affected her deeply when she watched it.
We SHOULD feel uncomfortable!
My God!
These comparisons Republicans make to Nazi Germany over masks or books has got to stop.
That parent should be grateful to her son's school for covering a topic most parents are squeemish to discuss with their children.
