Well, look at the bright side - at least she didn't have to wear a mask ... Goddamn, we've failed our kids so fucking much.

Yup ...

The Onion is on point, once again: Mitch McConnell: ‘Get Your Crying Done Now Because We’re Not Passing Shit’ WASHINGTON—In a press conference addressing the community of Uvalde, TX, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell reportedly urged those affected Thursday to get their crying done now because he wouldn’t be passing shit. “Go ahead and shed some tears, trot out the families of the victims, do whatever the fuck you’re going to do, and then we’re going to go back to pretending none of this happened,” said McConnell, urging the nation to go online and post whatever little impassioned rants or photographs of the bereaved they had, since he and his fellow lawmakers had decided their response to all of this would continue to be absolutely fucking nothing. “And yes, we know the parents of the victims will be burying 19 young children in the coming few weeks. Seriously, none of it matters to us. I don’t know how to make it any clearer. We simply couldn’t care less.” At press time, McConnell had returned to the podium to add that his thoughts and prayers were, of course, with the community and the grieving families.

Why the fuck can't we get U.S. media to press GQP elected officials like this? This was a breath of fresh air, even though Cruz ended up running away. Our press needs to reveal these fuckers for the disingenuous sacks of shit that they are.

It's definitely gerrymandered to be damned, yet we still elect the biggest pieces of shit (Hot Wheels, Patrick, Paxton, Cruz) to statewide office consistently. Look around - Texas is certainly horrible.

I love free-wheeling Beto - the problem is that somewhere in there, there will inevitably be a 5-second sound bite that Fox News will take out of context and bludgeon him politically to death with. See the "Hell, yes. We're going to take your AR-15" debacle. Disregard the fact that the position was imminently reasonable in the context of the discussion (see below), especially immediately after El Paso. We can thank the 5-second attention span of the average U.S. voter today, though - just the way the GQP likes it..

That reminds me of this piece from The Onion from 2012: NRA Sets 1,000 Killed In School Shooting As Amount It Would Take For Them To Reconsider Much Of Anything (theonion.com) So, yeah, pretty much spot on for the current NRA / GQP ...

Is Beto going to hold a press conference right after the GQP press conference? He should lead with something like this ...

Correct. I quoted it so people didn't have to go over to that cesspool, because spending more than 10 minutes over there makes me think we should press forward with the inevitable Civil War 2. Nothing is going to change these fuckers' minds, and they're hell-bent on indoctrinating the next generation with "guns n' baby Jesus" with no input from your damn math and science.

One would think so, but this is Texas. We are outnumbered by pieces of shit like "baron_von_awesome" on Texags. So, no, we're not getting rid of Abbott, Patrick or Paxton - not even if the power goes out for the entirety of the summer and kids get gunned down every day until the election. Fuck this place.

Definitely need to force more people who know that they'll be shitty parents to give birth to their kids + demonization of anyone else that doesn't conform to our ideals + corporate welfare - any social safety net + more prosperity gospel. That will obviously fix the "moral decay" in the country.

I think we've proven that dead babies don't matter here in America. I'm more than willing to see if switching to Fox News hosts and "#2ndAmendment" GQP congress people will have more of an impact, though.

Shutting down the Texags crowd before they get started scapegoating immigrants (again)?

I'm wrestling with whether it's worth voting in the Republican primary to vote against Paxton and Christian. Is one of the R candidates for GLO Commissioner the anti-christ? I'm assuming that GQP is never going to stop sending me mail, so I feel like it's largely a sunk cost. Stogner seems to be a different type of R, but Bush still sucks. Talk me into spending the 45 minutes to vote today.

Or, perhaps more accurately, why don't you just fuck all the way off, troll.

Holy shit, that was real, wasn't it?

Ivana Silva (who appears to be responsible for over 1/2 of the challenges) was also the one that sued Eanes ISD over their mask mandate. Bitch needs to pick up a hobby or something ...

I assume it's a reference to 14 words: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." https://www.adl.org/education/references/hate-symbols/1488 Ya know - what Tucker is paraphrasing 24/7 ...

Is this for real? Why do Dems insist on bickering among themselves and imposing never-ending purity tests? I fully expect this to devolve into another "Defund the Police" debacle that will allow the GQP to bludgeon the reproductive rights movement into oblivion.

The fucking stupid ... it hurts. That said, I'm sure it will start making the rounds on Facebook because, ya know, morons ....

They should get to that right after Congress manages to pass legislation that unfucks everything that the USSC has fucked up recently (gutting of VRA, Citizens United, pending overturning of Roe). Until then, they can get fucked.

Was his all-day coke binge yesterday induced by getting grilled by the 1/6 Committee the day before? Dare to dream ...
