but its used to describe behavior of a child not an adult .the musician that called her had this to say .The musician told the BBC a "brat" is someone genuine and self-possessed, with a rebellious streak. She “feels like herself but maybe also has a breakdown. But kind of, like, parties through it. Is very honest, very blunt. A little bit volatile. Like, does dumb things. But it’s brat. You’re brat. That’s brat.”

Informal English Word

"Brat" is a rather informal English word, probably recognized by everyone, usually describing a child. One of my stories is SRU: Reforming the Brat. Caution, it's a horror story, begun in a bad mood.

EDIT: The replies refer to my signature's picture, that I have or will have removed.

JD Vance's Wife's Introduction

It is very hard to sort the truth out from what the News media says. His wife introducing him sounds so reasonable. Who can say?

US Senator JD Vance has a history of spewing anti-LGBTQ+ vitriol and opposes reproductive freedoms nationwide. He defended the dangerous “groomer” smear campaign against Democratic politicians for their support of LGBTQ+ people, said he “strongly disagreed” that LGBTQ+ people should be protected from discrimination, railed against the Equality Act, calling its landmark nondiscrimination provisions “an assault,” and argued that victims of rape and incest should be be barred from accessing abortion care. As a United States Senator, Vance has routinely taken aim at basic rights and freedoms, voting against a bill to codify access to IVF, introducing legislation to charge doctors with a felony for providing medically necessary health care to transgender youth, and promising to support a national abortion ban.

Intelligence Test.

IMHO, this upcoming election will test the intelligence of the American people. Only the sentient will pass and I worry that there are not enough.

Remove?

I should probably remove that picture from my signature soon.

I was initially confused about the replies to my comment about "brat". Then I realized, they were about the picture. It distracts the reader from the content of my comments, and it's going to sit at the bottom of every comment I ever made.
