Agreed! But all tofu must be frozen, thawed, and pressed. I'm ok with calling jd vance a tofu if we follow these rules.

Ok let's go back to the old format. It's only fair
Odd. Works for me. Might be either your connection or a regional server issue

Enough is enough. Shit like this is putting us on a path for another insurrection.

subject: "Call for Resignation Due to Undemocratic Remarks"
Dear Senator Lang,
I am writing to express my profound disappointment and concern regarding your recent comments about the potential need for a civil war if certain political outcomes are not achieved. Your statement, “I’m afraid if we lose this one, it’s going to take a civil war to save the country, and it will be saved,” is not only deeply irresponsible but also fundamentally undemocratic. Such rhetoric is dangerous and unbecoming of a public servant in a democratic society.
As a concerned citizen, I am compelled to voice my strong objection to your words. They undermine the very principles upon which our nation was founded: the peaceful transition of power and the rule of law. Democracy thrives on debate, disagreement, and ultimately, the will of the people as expressed through free and fair elections. The suggestion that violence is an acceptable response to losing an election is antithetical to these principles.
An apology for this grave error is simply not sufficient. The damage caused by promoting the idea of civil unrest as a solution to political disagreement cannot be undone with mere words of regret. Your statement has the potential to incite division and violence, putting our nation and its citizens at risk.
In light of the seriousness of your comments, I call on you to resign from your position as a United States Senator. The responsibilities of your office require a commitment to uphold democratic values and to lead with integrity. Your recent remarks have shown a disregard for these responsibilities, and as such, stepping down is the most honorable course of action you can take for the sake of our country's stability and unity.
The United States faces numerous challenges that require thoughtful, collaborative solutions. It is imperative that our leaders prioritize dialogue and cooperation over divisive and inflammatory rhetoric. I urge you to consider the impact of your words and to take responsibility for them by resigning your seat.
Sincerely,
[Your First Name]
Additionally i encourage looking up your Senators and contacting them as well:

Kind of cool. But hard to tell the legend apart
He only changes his underwear every 8 years. which is what i learned from him saying no-fault divorces allow people to change their spouses as often as their underwear.

I really want to try that sometime now 😅
Marriage largely is dissolved by a no-fault divorce meaning you can get divorced for any reason without proving wrongdoing. Before no-fault divorces you had to prove fault or wrongdoing of some kind such as being beaten but even then the bar to prove fault was hard and difficult which left women (and men) in abusive relationships, loveless marriages, etc.
The republican party as a whole has been moving against no fault divorces, and this will mean some people are not able to justify a divorce if the abuse is not deemed serious enough. Jd vance has spoken against no fault divorce and has said that it enables people to change their spouse as often as they change their underwear. Which to me sounds like jd vance doesn't ever change his underwear which is kind of gross but the smaller issue here.
We just need a maximum age for running for president. Id like my president's to be of a normal working age. If you're going to be over 65 by the end of the term then that's too old imo since they would be older than 5/6 of the population.
If the tip starts at 30% I'm no-tipping and never returning
Can they warn party members to not incite another insurrection or civil war too?
