Ethan (02:18):
The text in the Bible
reads that they seduced their
father.
The sisters supposedly got himdrunk and seduced him.
Even then, men flipped theresponsability on women, evading
accountability for theiractions, even when assaulting
their own daughters.
In addition, assault victims areaccused of teasing men and
(02:39):
causing their own harm.
It's not a woman's fault that aman can't control his urges, or
desire to dominate.
Today men use the same gaslighting techniques against
women that were written in theBible, written by men! Moreover,
the tools used to assault womentoday were utilised in Biblical
(02:59):
times as well, including.
drinks.
and drugs!

start banning books.

about that art pieces, you knowAny kind of art that has frontal
nudity like David, The MonaLisa, they don't like her smile.

She's always watching me.

Ben (03:34):
Well, if you're in the
eighth grade, I guess that kind
of shit bothers you.
Bitch, quit looking at me.

There you go.
Anybody else on the list?
Elly (04:11):
Meadows, uh, he got
immunity.
Ethan (04:15):
For those of you that are
interested in Trump's new
indictment and Meadows, listenup Days ago in August, jack
smith wrote in his newindictment regarding Trump's
former white house chief ofstaff Mark Meadows, that his
testimony is not covered underthe supremes recent ruling
regarding presidential immunity.
(04:37):
The new indictment emphasizesthat Meadows handled"private"
and"Campaign-related" logisticsto show that the interactions
could not be considered corepresidential acts under the
Supreme Court's July 1presidential immunity ruling.
so the ruling does not apply.
Jogging your memory, In October2023 Meadows secured an immunity
(05:00):
deal with special counsel JackSmith in order to testify before
a grand jury.
Meadows has provided lengthy andin-depth testimony several times
in the past year before thegrand jury, as well as providing
prosecutors with reams ofdocuments, including text
messages.
In the recent indictment all ofthe evidence against Trump when
(05:22):
conspiring with his justicedepartment and White House
minions regarding the attemptedcoup, obstruction, election
fraud, and other crimes, hasbeen tossed, when that evidence
and testimony was or is fromTrump's advisors, Justice
Department or personnel, andduties defined as core or
(05:43):
performed in a presidentialcapacity.
Meadows and Trump are hopingthat down the road, Trump's
supremes will rule against thegovernment and for Trump.
So you see, voting matters.
Look at the mess that Trump'sappointed bias and crooked
supremes have made of ourjustice system.
And pay attention that Trump,the Heritage Foundation,
(06:05):
Federalist Society, otherinterconnected organizasions and
the supremes and federal judgescould destroy our constitution,
our rights and freedoms, wagesand safety standards,

It will be a dystopian societyand a theocracy, atleast until
