Not all diddlers are closeted and not all closet cases diddle…. But you can be / do both.

Maybe ‘Tebowing’ isn’t what we all thought it was for those many years.

Ronny Jackson, Amarillo and Wichita Falls' congress member, was demoted from Rear Admiral(ret) to Captain (ret) based on the Navy reviewing allegations about misconduct. I don't think this just occurred but rather just noticed/reported.

On his official House bio, he lists himself as retiring a rear admiral. He's playing word games in that he did retire with that rank but then was demoted. On sub-pages, he does list himself as a retired rear admiral.

Is it a crime to incorrectly claim to be a different rank?

For an omnipotent being that could effortlessly make any reality it want, God sure seems like a whiny, narcistic petulant bitch..... Now that I think about it, it does makes sense this version of God is such a Trump fan.

Worse, she’s Ukrainian who apparently hates aid to Ukraine.

Well, she was probably a Russian sycophant before she left Ukraine for here. But that’s, yikes. Did she vote to veto the Ukraine aid bill(s)?

Man, these people just LOVE to play the hits.  Which is actually the perfect metaphor.  Remember the first 20 times you heard "Wonderwall" or some other hit, and thought "that's a pretty good tune," and you enjoyed it....but then you heard it another 1000 times?   There are two kinds of people: the first kind fucking rolls their eyes, sick of the same shit.  The second kind is MAGAs, who crank up the radio and yell "woohoo!  I love this song!"

Except, you know, in this metaphor, the "hit" is anti-semitism, and only fucking racist psychopaths ever liked it in the first place.

Wonderwall? Oasis?!

You need to shut your whore mouth.

 

Antisemitism in your stretch of a metaphor is more like Photograph by Nickleback…. or Higher by Creed.

It’s basic AF.

She was a founding member of her home county's Tea Party in Indiana. She co-sponsored a bi-partisan bill with Pramila Jayapal (D, Washington), the Stop Anti-Competitive Healthcare Act asserting that hospital mergers were creating monopolies.

A few days ago, someone mentioned that the GQP candidate for NC's governorship was terrible and had said some oddball things, but I didn't realize the extent of it. And, of course, he doesn't get called out by conservatives for his anti-semitism as they're loathe to criticize anyone in their ranks who spout anti-Jewish shit. I wonder why that is?

I'm taking special care to include all the links in this Op-Ed in case any Republican posters/lurkers are in denial about what their party has become.

 

We Need to Talk About This Republican Candidate’s Antisemitism

Mark Robinson, the Republican nominee for governor of North Carolina, has for some reason not bothered to take down his old Facebook posts about the Jews.

“There is a REASON the liberal media fills the airwaves with programs about the NAZI and the ‘6 million Jews’ they murdered,” Robinson, the state’s lieutenant governor, wrote in one 2017 post. (The reason was left unsaid, but the scare quotes spoke loudly.) He regularly argued on Facebook that focusing on the evils of Nazism obscured the greater danger: the one represented by the Democratic Party. “George Soros is alive. Adolf Hitler is dead,” he wrote in one post, and in another, “Who do you think has been pushing this Nazi boogeyman narrative all these years?”

In 2018, Robinson, who is Black, offered some thoughts about what he seemed to see as a Jewish plot behind the hit movie “Black Panther.” The title character, he wrote, was “created by an agnostic Jew and put to film by satanic Marxist,” calling the movie “trash” that was “created to pull the shekels” from the pockets of Black people, whom he referred to using a Yiddish slur. He has refused to apologize for these statements, though he called them “poorly worded” and has denied that he’s antisemitic.

None of this appears to have hurt Robinson with the Republican electorate in North Carolina, where on Tuesday he won nearly 65 percent of the vote in the gubernatorial primary. (In November, he will face the Democratic state attorney general, Josh Stein, who is Jewish.) Donald Trump enthusiastically endorsed Robinson, calling him “better than Martin Luther King.” We’re in the middle of a wrenching national discussion about antisemitism on the left, and where it overlaps with anti-Zionism. But Robinson is a reminder that in electoral politics, there is far more tolerance for antisemitism in the Republican Party than the Democratic one.

I don’t want to downplay the problem of left-wing antisemitism or its closely related cousin, a jejune anti-imperialism that treats Hamas as heroes. Both phenomena have shocked me in the months since Oct. 7, and shouldn’t be rationalized as understandable reactions to Israeli savagery in Gaza.

In an Atlantic cover story, Franklin Foer recently reported on anti-Jewish bullying, vandalism and conspiracy-mongering in Northern California. “In the hatred that I witnessed in the Bay Area, and that has been evident on college campuses and in progressive activist circles nationwide, I’ve come to see left-wing antisemitism as characterized by many of the same violent delusions as the right-wing strain,” he wrote. The fact that this kind of antisemitism more often comes from random civilians than public officials or authority figures is unlikely to comfort most Jews, who’ve inherited a deep fear of the mob as well as the autocrat.

Still, we should be clear about which political faction is willing to give antisemites power. And even if you believe that the Michigan Democrat Rashida Tlaib’s use of the anti-Zionist slogan “from the river to the sea” is obviously antisemitic — I don’t — it’s worth asking why it received so much more coverage than Robinson’s apparent Holocaust denial, or for that matter, the promotion of antisemitic websites and social media posts by Republican congressmen like Arizona’s Paul Gosar and Georgia’s Mike Collins.

According to NBC News’s Ben Goggin, this year, white nationalists had an unusually easy time penetrating the Conservative Political Action Conference, keynoted by Trump. “At the Young Republican mixer Friday evening, a group of Nazis who openly identified as national socialists mingled with mainstream conservative personalities, including some from Turning Point USA, and discussed ‘race science’ and antisemitic conspiracy theories,” Goggin wrote. If this caused a national uproar, I missed it.

There are several reasons that anti-Jewish attitudes on the right — including Robinson’s — often don’t get the attention they should. For one thing, they’re old news. Back in 2022, the scholars Eitan Hersh and Laura Royden debunked the idea that antisemitism is a similar problem on both left-and right-wing ideological extremes, writing, “The data show the epicenter of antisemitic attitudes is young adults on the far right.” Antisemitism at Columbia University, located in a city with the largest Jewish population in the world, is surprising in a way that antisemitism among, say, Trump supporters no longer is.

And like Trump — who, let’s remember, had dinner with the antisemitic rapper Ye and leading white nationalist Nick Fuentes in 2022 — Robinson has many other terrible qualities that can overshadow his history of anti-Jewish rhetoric. Chief among them is his misogyny. The lieutenant governor is in the news for a recently unearthed video from 2020 in which he said, “I absolutely want to go back to the America where women couldn’t vote.” (His somewhat incomprehensible argument was that in those halcyon days, Republicans led on issues including women’s suffrage.) “The only thing worse than a woman who doesn’t know her place is a man who doesn’t know his,” he wrote in 2017.

There’s also a tendency for some in the Jewish establishment to overlook antisemitism among supporters of Israel. That’s how we ended up with the end-times preacher John Hagee, who has said that Hitler was sent by God to drive the Jews to their rightful home in the holy land, speaking at a major November rally against antisemitism, and the Anti-Defamation League praising Elon Musk, despite both Musk’s own antisemitic posts and the platform he’s given to virulent Jew-haters.

Finally, Republicans benefit, ironically, from a relative lack of internal tension over antisemitism. Part of what drove news about Tlaib’s words was the way Democrats agonized over them. They were condemned by the White House, and 22 House Democrats joined Republicans to censure her. Several Democrats seen as hostile to Israel are facing extraordinarily well-funded primary challenges, and it’s an open question how voters will respond.

There’s no similar fault line or drama on the right. Few are wondering if Republicans will finally be moved to denounce Robinson, because we almost certainly already know the answer.

According to my “friend” from Ukraine, this is absolutely the case.

Well folks, I ate my lunch about 8 feet away from a guy who was wondering why somebody hadn't eliminated the president. And if you kill him, you know you gotta kill the vice-president as well. I eased around and saw a geezer in a motorized wheelchair. For context we were in the cafeteria of my Mom's assisted living center.

Then Old Boy segued into how the main reason you wouldn't want to kill both the Prez and the VP is because the Mob Squad [his term] would be in charge. You know the Mob Squad, AOC and her crowd, they hate America.

Then his table-mate changed the subject to how the turnip greens were pretty good but he'd added too much vinegar.

Motorized Wheelchair has aged out of his days of dreaming (?) of church bombings. When we left he was sitting alone in a darkened room while the rest played Bunko.

But…let’s go with on the bright side thinking here: if these fuckers try that shit for real, they’re going to be hella surprised by what a 30/06 round to the head will do to their brains. FAFO, fascists. Those dumbasses think they’re the only ones who are armed. Big mistake.

Same thing going on with the GOP everywhere.

This.
I fail to understand why the whole world hasn’t grasped that this is not the fringe of the GQP, it’s the foundation. This is who the GQP is - a deranged psychotic death cult, focused solely on who they can hurt, seek retribution against, or flat-out kill, next. And yes, that always ends up including “each other,” because leopards eating people’s faces and such.

Every accusation ….

 

Just another isolated incident 

Quote

The man suspected in the murder of Derek Franklin Wells, of Harvest, is now charged with sexual torture – sexual abuse using an inanimate object, in connection to the murder case.

Quote

“In an effort to ensure accurate information is shared with the public about Sheriff’s Office investigations we want the community to know that Sheriff’s Detectives confirmed very early at the crime scene on Thursday that the victim was NOT shot, and the Sheriff’s Office never reported to the media or public that he was,” a post on social media stated. “As we reported the victim and offender knew each other and got into a physical altercation that resulted in the victim being injured. It appears he died as a result of those injuries. Detectives are awaiting autopsy results, but again we have confirmed that the victim was not shot.”

Yep. There's no such thing as "normal Republicans" anymore. If you support the Republican party in 2024 you're either extremely ignorant or some kind of extremist. And if we're being honest the GQP has simply just taken the conservative values that have always existed to their most logical conclusion. They've just skipped the whole plausible deniability part.

My restaurant eavesdropping just a few days ago revealed a man who thought it would be great for Trump to pick Tim Scott as his VP in order to lock up the black vote. Because it's that easy.

I think it's simpler than that. Just get a mannequin of a Black man, sit him there on the sofa as your VP. The actual Black people see that and feel safe, and all fly over and land on the ground close to you.

With the understanding that slavery was a benevolent work program that fostered a sense of community, provided structure, and whose aging participants were basically respected family members in charge of bringing up the young gentry. "Now Marse Neon, you know your Mama wants you to grow up strong so you better finish those beans child..."

There really wasn't a need for Fugitive Slave Laws. Hell, people up and volunteered to work for free.
