I’m not west Texas Mennonite, so I couldn’t say with authority. Both Amish and Mennonite are Anabaptist, but Mennonites don’t eschew electricity, cars, and technology.

The Mennonite families I’ve known were rural and lived in a more humble fashion with a hard-working ethic reminiscent of 1950’s USA. They were also inclusive, so they probably would embrace biker metalheads.

The report states that this was a “school-age child”. Because the outbreak is primarily in rural west Texas Mennonite families, the child was likely homeschooled and with parents who, while not opposed to vaccines, are on the fundamental side of religion. Mennonite is like Amish-lite.

I believe this may have been a combination of poor education, jesus stuff, and misplaced faith in isolation.

We’re being too harsh on Sheriff Bob Norris. This poor guy spent 20 years at the LA County Sheriff’s Department, practicing Compton justice before moving to Idaho. He has only had 4 years as sheriff to hone his hatred of women, and is under the strain of a defamation lawsuit for pointing at a local woman and accusing her of giving blowjobs and photographing child pornography at the library.

30% of American adults voted for trump. Millions didn’t vote because of “feelings”.

I don’t feel inspired.

I feel like my vote doesn’t matter.

It all feels too exhausting.

I feel cheated out of a primary.

It feels like Gaza isn’t being prioritized.

So before putin invaded Ukraine in 2022, violating the agreement that Russia signed, trump violated the agreement that the US signed, when he used economic coercion against Ukraine in 2020.

And these two criminal shitstains claim to care about peace for Ukraine. Well, at least we didn’t get a President Harris, so now all the Palestinians are safe.

Honest question to someone who is a legit expert on … international treaties? geopolitics?

How the fuck can an uninvolved and uninvited country declare itself a party to negotiations for peace? Does anyone even think the US is authorized to offer concessions on behalf of an absent nation? Isn’t this entire disgusting spectacle unenforceable?

Yeah, I understand the need to take some sort of action against little adolph and this coup, but even the promoters admit that there is no objective here - so it’s only theatrics. Better to use energy and time in a manner that at least has a goal.

Since 1776, the United States government has violated or broken over 500 Native American and First Nations treaties that were ratified by the senate and signed by the president.

Why would anyone trust a nation with a track record of 249 years of duplicity?
