As of now it doesn't look like that edit has gone through. The main COTUS wiki 0age lists the ERA as expired.

Crowd sourcing can be useful, but one of the downfalls is sometimes there are crazy folks in the crowd.

I posted something not long ago about the wiki founder saying that the problem seems to be a super majority group of editors with a political agenda that the much lower number of "normal" editors can't keep up with. Much like how reddit works. The normals also have a normal life they have to address, while the crazies just sit in front of their computer in their parents' basement with a Costco sized bag of cheetos.

Troy, Ala. — 22-year-old Kesean Wilmore was arrested on Jan. 10 for the r—pe of his own three-month-old daughter. He is being held on no bond for the charges of first degree r—pe, first-degree s—domy, i—cest and child abuse.

The infant sustained traumatic injuries to her genital and rectal area. She also suffered multiple broken ribs. The baby underwent emergency reconstruction surgery and is expected to have life-long complications.

A wood chipper is way too fast. That sickens me more than anything I can remember reading for a long while. You can see from the  eyes that is an image of an animal. I'm not sure that an eternity burning in hell is even enough.

I'm generally a believer in torture being wrong as a punishment for crime.  But this guy deserves to go in feet first.
The feral government is the only group in the known universe that can promulgate a 26-page form that collects two pages of information accompanied by 24 pages of incoherent instructions, and proclaim at the bottom of page 26 that the document complies with the paperwork reduction act.

Here's an "expert" saying the ERA is a real amendment & fully part of the U.S. Constitution and has been for 5 years now.
She(?) hand waves away the missed deadline and ignores the 5 states that withdrew their ratification. But hey, she(?) is the expert and even wrote a book on it.

"Biden clarifies..."  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Yeah, he always brings things into focus.

As I recall, the last thing he clarified was that he would be staying in the race.

Whatever he deserves, I wouldn't want to force anyone else to do the torture.  Just concrete shoes and toss him in a deep spot in the ocean.  No one should ever have to see him again.

So why didn't he do this back in October or earlier?  Even if it fell short, Kamala could have campaigned on it.  Odd to try to push this crap the last weekday before Trump is inaugurated.

I think the payoff will be next week, or later on this year. For the low-info crowd, or those in the Dem bubble, the ERA will be something the Democrats tried doing just before the Bad Orange Man took over. It won't work of course, but that will be blamed on the ones who took over.

Tried?
The narrative will be they DID DO IT just before Orange man took over and that the reason it's not an actual amendment is because of him because he, and by extension all Rs, want to keep women enslaved.

And by "women", they mean men in drag.

As far as Usha's looks are concerned, she's OK.  There is one Indian lady that I can think of who was even better looking.  That would be the late Persis Khambatta, 1948-1998, heart attack at 49.  She played Ilia in Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

Twenty minutes long. The first two minutes should be enough for any sane person. Though skipping through it, it wasn't until near the end that I heard the words (screamed) "We love! You hate!"

I'm glad she "literally" wrote a book on the ERA. Question: Books are intended to be read, which relates to "literature" and "literary." Can one NOT write a book "literally"?
