Nebraska Rs to investigate a state senator, who voted against an anti-trans bill, for ethics violations. The senator has a trans child, so they claim she would personally benefit from the bill’s failure. The hypocrisy is mind numbing. https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/3976112-state-lawmaker-who-has-trans-child-and-voted-against-anti-trans-legislation-faces-ethics-investigation/

Here is another despicable human who doesn’t give a fuck. I have no words to describe the contempt I feel for this person

The video is mis-titled. FF got her quote right. She “won’t have to worry…” not “Obama will pay…” The rhetoric around the ACA was that folks ought not have to worry about either buying medication or putting gas in the car. When folks tell you what they are, believe them. Read up on Curtis Yarvin, “guru of the New Right.” Peter Thiel is the billionaire who is using his fortune to attempt to bring those ideas into fruition. And yes, absolute power and monarchy is the end of democracy. The first link lays out their goals, in Yarvin’s own words. The second link explains the connection between Thiel and Yarvin, and also what Thiel is doing to bring about their goal. https://unherd.com/thepost/curtis-yarvin/ https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/04/inside-the-new-right-where-peter-thiel-is-placing-his-biggest-bets

Or, you know, quotation marks around a direct quote. Not sure why you don’t see how having affordable medical insurance (guessing here, because I don’t remember that woman’s statement) would make paying other bills easier.

Crocodile concern.

@fattyflattie, your tears about folks struggling to make ends meet, given your professed desire to raise taxes on those who earn the least, are positively reptilian.

Amorality.

Yeah, I will continue to point a finger at racism. Not sure why you think folks shouldn’t.

The ease with which guns are obtained in this country is the sole reason we deal with the scourge of school shootings. Anyone who believes differently is lying to themselves and others. Here’s Michael Ventura’s take on our culture and school shootings, written in the weeks after Columbine. Show me where he is wrong.

Pancho’s waitstaff used to ignore my table after the stack of used dishes obscured their view of the raised flag. My Glock now keeps the sopaipillas coming.

One man thinks removing warning labels, that used to be put on state level propaganda accounts, is just acting out, while another man thinks the same is supporting and furthering an autocratic future. Humans are difficult to predict.

There are no gun accidents. Only negligence. -Stonekettle

Cons have been completely conned.

Eric “zip tie hands” is from Nashville. He teamed up with his mom to attack our country. Here is the local report, which reads as expected: “Prosecutors say the two wore tactical and bulletproof vests in the Capitol and Munchel carried a stun gun. Munchel also recorded their storming of the Capitol, and prosecutors say that video shows the pair stashed weapons in a bag before entering the building. A search of Munchel’s Nashville home turned up assault rifles, a sniper rifle with a tripod, shotguns, pistols, hundreds of rounds of ammunition and a drum-style magazine. Eisenhart and Munchel have been found guilty on charges of conspiracy to commit obstruction, obstructing of an official proceeding and aiding and abetting, entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds with a deadly or dangerous weapon (Taser), disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds with a deadly or dangerous weapon (Taser), unlawful possession of a dangerous weapon on Capitol grounds or buildings (Taser), entering and remaining in the gallery of Congress, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building and parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building. The pair is expected to be sentenced on Sept. 8.” https://fox17.com/news/local/zip-tie-guy-mother-found-guilty-on-all-charges-connected-to-us-capitol-riots Well, alright. Sounds like the taser wasn’t his only weapon. Throw away the key.

Ah the good old days, but I had thrown salad. I was on my knees crying that the salad had no dressing, so my dad started pouring oil down on my head. My mom was laughing so hard the cigarette fell out of her mouth, and my face caught on fire. Dad put it out with a rake. /Stony csb

More likely to see camps for rape surviving children, who became mothers, who are too young to work, despite the best efforts to lower age requirements for employment.

My father died from early onset Alzheimer’s. My heart is with all who confront this gawdawful specter. Fuck Alzheimer’s! So, it is fucking fantastic to be able to post the following, which will undoubtedly help humanity in our battle against this scourge.

I have heard stories for most my life, about how citizens from a given country really like US citizens, but distrust the US government. And vice versa. I love Indian cultures, and food, and novelists. But I hate fascists, and authoritarians, so, I guess that country belongs with all the other countries that have the ability to fuck shit up on a massive scale. Love the people. Distrust the government.

You sound angry. Still, crime is the topic. "I don't think crime data tells you all that much," says Vargas. "It tells you how police behave as an organization." In this system, shoplifting tampons or diapers counts as crime, but tax evasion, environmental crimes, and wage theft do not. Police aren't even responsible for investigating those crimes. "Wage theft is a problem about five times the magnitude of shoplifting," says Alec Karakatsanis, an activist, lawyer and executive director of Civil Rights Corps.” Civil Rights. Must be a moron. https://www.npr.org/2022/11/08/1134550280/stories-about-crime-are-rife-with-misinformation-and-racism-critics-say

It is like you are out of touch. Compared to wage theft, robbers are pikers, and do far less damage to the economy. Fuck thieves. But keep your eye on the log, not the splinter. Ain’t no insurance for wage theft.

Kids grow up so fast. Seems like it was mere months since that kid was a toddler in diapers, dragging his pistol around the apartment building.

America’s Pasttimes, baseball and racism, team up for a clusterfuck in Fort Meyers, Florida. The high school’s new baseball coach (at least I assume the coach was new as he was reportedly a probationary hire) sent a Valentine’s email to his team in which he dropped the n-word, and gets fired two days later. His, mostly white, team gets pissed at his firing, (and not at his hate, nor his stupidity,) and walks off the field during their next game. Those walk outs are either supported, or perhaps encouraged, by their parents. The black players didn’t get the memo, and were left on the field. Which caused some inter-Ft Meyers baseball “family” altercations after the game. The cops then showed but luckily no one was shot. Now, they have forfeited the rest of their season. Thanks, Trump, you fucking pig. https://winknews.com/2023/04/13/civil-rights-investigation-at-fort-myers-high-after-text-message-sent-with-racial-slur/ https://www.fox4now.com/news/local-news/fort-myers-high-cancels-remainder-of-baseball-season?utm_source=website&utm_medium=local-promo-right-rail&FOX 4 Morning News: Here for you every morning, delivering stories from our community at a time matched to your schedule!

These are people who find Lonesome Dove objectionable.

When the railroad went to shit, so did Llano. Or, so I hear. Closing a library is next level asshattery.

What’s the opposite of surprised? Maybe someday folks will know how much fentanyl money underwrote the New Right’s attempt to seize absolute control.
