This is such unbridled horseshit. I live in fucking California, and I'm not sure if I've ever seen a Fuck Trump shirt/flag/bumper sticker/whatever in person. I can't go a day without seeing Let's Go B

Yep. I was a George Will/Ronald Reagan/Al Laffer conservative.  I genuinely thought that if you cut taxes for the upper classes, then they would spend and invest and the economic result of that w

On Wednesday, 28 House Republicans voted against the Respect for Child Survivors Act. The bi-partisan bill, introduced in the wake of the failure to investigate Larry Nassar and the botched job performed by the FBI when they did investigate, passed the House 385-28. Of course usual suspects like Boebert and Greene were among the dissenters.

A little about the bill:

Senators Coons, colleagues bill to improve FBI child victim protocols passes House

DECEMBER 22, 2022

WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Senators Chris Coons (D-Del.), John Cornyn (R-Texas), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) released the following statements after the Respect for Child Survivors Act, a bill developed in response to the FBI’s mishandling of the Larry Nassar investigation, passed the House. The bill, now headed to the President’s desk, would improve the treatment of FBI child victim witnesses by requiring trauma-informed experts to be a part of any interview of a victim who reports child abuse or trafficking to the FBI.

“We have a duty to ensure that survivors and witnesses to sexual assault are heard and respected, especially when they come forward to law enforcement to report abuse,” said Senator Coons. “Unfortunately, mishandled or repeated interviews can too often retraumatize survivors. The bipartisan, bicameral Respect for Child Survivors Act will reduce poorly conducted interviews during investigations of child abuse and sexual exploitation by requiring the FBI to use multidisciplinary teams of trained professionals. I’m proud to see this head to the President’s desk for signature, and I hope it will protect survivors and encourage more to come forward.”

“The FBI has a sworn obligation to protect victims who report child abuse, and that extends to agents’ interviews with vulnerable child witnesses,” said Senator Cornyn. “This legislation requires the FBI to include trauma-informed experts in interviews with victims to ensure they are not retraumatized during the interview process, and I urge President Biden to swiftly sign it into law.”

“I applaud Senator Cornyn’s leadership on this issue to correct an egregious wrong committed by certain FBI agents regarding their treatment of victims of sexual abuse,” said Senator Graham. “Requiring the FBI to use appropriate, tried-and-true methods to interview child victims will help ensure the FBI’s failure in the Nassar case doesn’t happen again. Our legislation makes it clear that we expect better.”

“As we work to support survivors of child sexual abuse and trafficking, we need to provide law enforcement with the training and skills they need to investigate these crimes and help victims,” said Senator Klobuchar. “Our bipartisan legislation will ensure law enforcement officers can partner with child advocacy centers to use the most effective techniques when conducting these critical investigations.”

Here’s the list of House Republicans who opposed the legislation (I haven’t looked into how the Senate voted):

This can't be real.  Santa is carpet bombing the Middle East or dumping dandruff on Trump's head.  Someone forgot "Former" in front of DJT.  He can't still be using the presidential seal.  There is no "Winter White House."  Grumpy Grinch Dickhead tuxedo.  

Clearly the product of a wicked public affairs firm.

Tip of the hat to underminer, cross posting this tweet here:

Sure is strange how the GQP and trump's negotiating strategy is the same as russia's....

To be fair, both Trump and Putin attended the same negotiating workshop at the Wichita Airport Sheraton years ago.  The plenary sessions were boring but the breakout panel with Pol Pot and Edie Amin was very interesting and they had warm cookies in the back.
