    Not that big a deal but it's also needless for Democrats to do this.

    At the end of the day who is affected by this?

    Not only is it not a big deal, but I don't see any evidence that "Democrats" "did" anything. One preacher who apparently is not super smart when it comes to the origins of words made a dumb mistake.

    But yes, we should get outraged about this, while a POTUS, as if we were what he once called a "shithole country," literally refuses to recognize the results of a legitimate election, an election verified by every court in the land.

    By all means, let's focus on what one pastor said in a prayer. Pathetic, (and I don't mean you, jiggy).

    This is what I was talking about.

    "His decision to gender the word, however, comes just days after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) introduced new House rules that would “honor all gender identities” by eliminating specific terms such as mother and father, son and daughter, and aunt and uncle.

    Instead, only gender-neutral terms such as “parent,” “child,” “sibling” and “parent’s sibling” would be allowed in the text of Congressional rules."

    Nancy Pelosi, I swear to god. We want progressive actions that affect our lives in a positive way not this gender elimination BS.

    Why are we recognizing religion in a US institution anyway? Separate church and State.

    Do they ever say " hail Cthulhu" ?

    Cthulhu is infamously known for his grotesque appearance and gigantic size, as well as his ability to drive any human that gazes upon his form to insanity.

    Oh wait, Trump is Cthulhu.

    Should have included anonbinary as well. Simply adding awomen is not good enough.

    For Nancy Pelosi, this is what "progressive reform" looks like. Because genuine economic progressive reform hurts her bottom line. Her number one skill in being the GOAT at collecting donations would severely diminish if she advocated for sincere economic reform.

    The mainstream media's love affair of Pelosi is just disgusting. She's an abject grifter who has done insider trading herself. The fact that she is worshiped by media outlets should tell everyone here everything about the paradigm these people live in.

    The majority shareholders of these media companies are perfectly fine allowing the past 50 year status quo of economic trends because during those 50 years, publicly traded companies have witnessed record growth while median household debt has greatly outpaced median household wages. But why care about the latter if the former is happening?

    Nancy Pelosi is the worst type of grifting politician because unlike Mitch, she has the backing of mainstream media. She is far more bulletproof and above reproach.
