Indeed, the critical race theory moral panic was concocted and promoted by a Discovery Institute alum. That's right, the think tank devoted to lying for Jesus (evolution is false!!) He's not particularly shy about describing his method, which is simply to lie with gusto. 'Decodify' and 'recodify' is just a way of saying, 'I'm lying about it.'

'How to Manufacture a Moral Panic'

[Rufo] takes critical-race theory as a concept, strips it of all meaning, and repurposes it as a catchall for white grievances. “The goal,” he tweeted, “is to have the public read something crazy in the newspaper and immediately think ‘critical race theory.’ We have decodified the term and will recodify it to annex the entire range of cultural constructions that are unpopular with Americans.”

Note that when Rufo says 'Americans' he is talking about white right-wing evangelical Christians. Everybody knows that they are the only Real Americans.

In it's basic form CRT addresses the fact that simply passing anti-racism laws doesn't magically change people's attitudes, nor re-structure organisations, institutions, or social systems in which race-based attitudes and processes are embedded. It's not a 'natural law' but an approach to examining the role the concept of race plays in society.

Iz Funneh, the approach you mention seems reasonable, but most appeals to CRT I've heard are anything but.

Well, it depends on your sources I guess.

The house censored Adam Schiff for harassing Trump. Not sure why this event was timed now. And all republicans voted for it. A bit of a strange way to support Trump in the documents case.

Oh dear, the two noisiest Freedom Caucus women got into it on the floor of the House of Representatives. Fighting over who should get priority in impeaching the communist Biden. What a shame.

'Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls Boebert a "Little Bitch" on the House Floor'

The messy feud between two of MAGA world’s biggest stars burst into public view on Wednesday, when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) called Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) a “little bitch” to her face on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.

The angry exchange came as the two lawmakers have been swiping at each other over their competing resolutions to impeach President Joe Biden. But tensions came to a head on Wednesday after Boebert leveraged a procedural tool to force a vote on her own impeachment resolution within days—undercutting Greene, who had offered her own resolution, but not with the procedural advantages of forcing a vote.

...

According to two sources that saw the exchange and a third familiar with the matter, the back and forth began when Boebert approached Greene—then seated in the chamber—and confronted her over “statements you made about me publicly.” All three of the sources said Greene called Boebert a “bitch.” One of the sources said Greene called her “a little bitch.”

According to two of the sources, Greene then stood up and alleged that Boebert “copied my articles of impeachment,” to which the Colorado lawmaker fired back that she hadn’t even read Greene’s resolution.

“I’ve donated to you, I’ve defended you. But you’ve been nothing but a little bitch to me,” Greene told Boebert, according to a source who witnessed the exchange. “And you copied my articles of impeachment after I asked you to cosponsor them.”

The name-calling was confirmed by another GOP lawmaker and another source who witnessed the exchange.

We'll expunge the record; that'll show our contempt and it'll be just as if Dear Leader had never been impeached!

Fox News, so don't expect much other than giving the dipshits a platform: 'Our missing evidence shows that it was Biden who was doing illegitimate stuff in Ukraine. Perfect phone call!!!' and 'Hey, they didn't even take into account how the election was stolen!!'

'House GOP seeking to expunge "sham" Trump impeachments'

House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., introduced resolutions Thursday to expunge Trump’s first impeachment from December 2019 and his second from January 2021. Those resolutions would expunge what the lawmakers are calling "unconstitutional" impeachments and make it legally as if the articles "had never passed the full House of Representatives."

"The American people know Democrats weaponized the power of impeachment against President Donald Trump [in the second impeachment] to advance their own extreme political agenda," Stefanik told Fox News Digital.

Reflecting on the "sham" process, Stefanik said she "stood up against Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff’s blatant attempt to shred the Constitution as House Democrats ignored the Constitution and failed to follow the legislative process."

"President Donald Trump was rightfully acquitted, and it is past time to expunge Democrats’ sham smear against not only President Trump’s name, but against millions of patriots across the country," she said.

Stefanik’s resolution focuses on Trump’s January 2021 impeachment, and says that the "facts and circumstances" of that action did not meet the burden of proving Trump committed high crimes and misdemeanors, and did not establish that Trump engaged in "insurrection of rebellion against the United States."

Stefanik also highlighted the "various issues surrounding the impeachment processes" related to the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, including "the omission of discussion of circumstances and unusual voting patterns leading up to the 2021 Presidential election, the lack of consideration for the vote numbers and breakdowns, the whimsical changing of the legislative process for impeachment, and much more."

...

Greene says the [first] impeachment against Trump was a "sham" because information revealed in an FD-1023 FBI document indicates that the Bidens were trying to influence policy in Ukraine.

"The first impeachment of President Trump was a politically motivated sham," Greene said. "The Democrats, led by Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff, weaponized a perfect phone call with Ukraine to interfere with the 2020 election."

Marjorie in danger. She is too supportive of McCarthy. Jim Jordan, though after Biden, also too supportive.

Boebert isn’t the only fellow Freedom Caucus member Greene has challenged. The Georgian has hit back at conservative colleagues who suggested a possible forced vote to oust McCarthy from the speakership after his debt deal with Biden.

Boebert's opponent connected to baby killing industry.

FIRST ON FOX: Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., accused her 2024 Democrat opponent of choosing "to fundraise off the killing of innocent babies" after a campaign email touted his family members' long history in the abortion industry.

Adam Frisch, the Democrat vying for the Republican-held Colorado seat next cycle, sent an email blast Saturday, highlighting that members of his family were abortion doctors and labeling Boebert's pro-life position as "extreme."
