Well, it's an ideology that aligns diametrically opposed to a free Constitutional Republic. So yeah, there's that.

And "fire alarm" is also translated in Bowman's mind as "pull to exit".

I give much of this a pass. I would rather a professional military rather than a conscripted one.

But this did open the door for the MIC and all the money we give to other nations just so that they can buy our equipment. We are so big into socialism, we are subsidizing other nation's defense these days.

And many NPCs here think we are in no way globalists.

Why interview a moron that doesn't know the difference between a fire alarm switch and a door opener

Literally? Do you know what the word means?

Can you point to anywhere in the Constitution or any laws that state that socialism is treasonous?

Are you familiar with Medicare, Medicate, Social Security, and SNAP?

Have you ever heard of the government having to bail corporations out of debt to prevent their bankruptcy?

Subsidies for farmers?

Etc.

Absolutely

Former Representative Jamaal Bowman maintained that he triggered the fire alarm by mistake, claiming he was rushing to cast a vote and mistakenly believed activating the alarm would open a locked emergency door.


Whom amongst us hasn’t done this because we were in a rush to cast a vote, that we had no intention of placing in the 1st place.




Even the spineless House Internal Ethics Committee laughed him out of the proceedings and suspended and censured his lying arse.

This stupid black man isn't even a Representative anymore, is he? Leave it to failing news networks to resurrect the celebrity of failed maggots like Bowman.

This is right up there with, "Is Mike Johnson invoking God over the Constitution?'

WTF is wrong with these people?

I verified this and it’s 100% true

The Government Systematically Separated Families and Claimed Ownership of Children

Many Cuban parents describe how the regime treated children as property of the state. From the early years of the revolution, the government pushed heavy indoctrination through schools and youth organizations, where children were taught to report on their own parents for “counter-revolutionary” thoughts. Parents who resisted lost custody or faced threats

Tens of thousands of Cubans were imprisoned in harsh labor camps or regular prisons for “crimes” like criticizing the government, practicing religion, or trying to leave. Political prisoners endured beatings, solitary confinement, starvation, lack of medical care, and psychological torture. Firing squads executed thousands

Families of dissidents faced job loss, eviction, and social ostracism
