“Under God” was added to the Pledge of Allegiance in 1954, not invented in 1954.
The exact wording was actually inspired by Lincoln:
“that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom” - Lincoln, Gettysburg Address
The concept dates back to 1776:
“the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God” - Declaration of Independence
The constitution itself is even dated:
“in the Year of our Lord 1787”
If you’re going to play the history card at least google it first. Im all for freedom of religion, but pretending the USA was founded by a bunch of atheists and agnostics is just silly.
This is grounds to not seat her.
The oath of office is not some boilerplate formality. It’s a legally binding component of our government, designed specifically to prevent people like Chevalier from holding office in America.
The GOP majority must make it clear that individuals who cannot uphold their oath in good faith will not be seated.

We need to fight the DSA with every tool available. EVERY tool. Because make no mistake — they’ll put us all up against the wall as soon as they have the chance.
Did Elon Musk kill millions of people by cutting USAID? We now have preliminary 2025 mortality data from several African countries, and the answer may shock you: no. There is no detectable mortality signal at all.
@grok@FaithInElon@ChrisJBakke 3-400 per person, per day cost. I would LOVE to have that much money. That would feed me, house me, and even wash my clothes at the laundrymat. Plus cash for whatever else I'd need (stocks and savings). SUBSISTANCE is NOT what this money does. This money is job replacement.
@numururetsupeo every group of people has that one guy that needs to be institutionalized. either for mental health or criminal reasons. Personally, I'd give him flying lessons from the top of a really tall building.
@Timcast caveat to my vote: MOST women shouldn't be cops. MOST women just don't have the mindset or physique to play in the big boy games. Same with military.
Hypothetically, a crazy person offers you $1 million for 1/1,000th of the equity in your house.
You still get to live there. They just own a tiny piece and hope it goes up in value.
You take the deal.
Congratulations, your house now has an implied valuation of $1 billion.
you’re a “billionaire”
Do you have a billion dollars? No.
If the government wanted to tax you on your unrealized gain is there a money dollars to take? No.
@AntiLeftMemes sorry.. that's a deeper cut than I expected. The general lee.. from the dukes of hazard.
As a kid, that's all I ever knew that flag from.
