In the other case, he led a riled up cabal (yes, I said it) of angry, spiteful sewage spewers who were shitting all over one of our LGBTQ+ sisters. So far as I know, she, an excellent poster btw, has only made one appearance on this site since.

Was unaware of this. Redact my statement yesterday, if true.  She still dips in and out, btw, between bad ass vacations.

fuck you and fuck your fucking feelings.

I wish nothing but the WORST for all current Republicans. You have destroyed this country with your voting habits and your support of lunatic christofascists and your propensity to be duped into believing the dumbest fucking shit ever in the name of an unrelenting thirst for right-wing power.

You are all dead to me. 

Thank U GIF

I got put on timeout for a week twice, each time, for going after the fucker.

Once, because I stated the name of his church, which he absolutely mentioned on the other site (otherwise, how would I have ever known? I don't live in Houston and have never met him. I wasn't even completely sure I got the name right, but he confirmed it in his response). The second time was for quoting a couple of snippets from that same church's "we believe page" (without mentioning the name of the church) to point out how Johnny's hypocrisy runs contrary to what his place of worship supposedly espouses. Others have posted various accounts of how active his role is in that church.

In both cases, they were in direct response to him making very personal and direct attacks on two separate posters. In the first case, he was being an absolutely toxic misogynist, making fun of the appearance of a female poster suffering through Covid. In the other case, he led a riled up cabal (yes, I said it) of angry, spiteful sewage spewers who were shitting all over one of our LGBTQ+ sisters. So far as I know, she, an excellent poster btw, has only made one appearance on this site since.

The point I'm making is that he likely reported me in both cases (and I took my lumps without complaint) while is somehow treated with kid gloves in spite of the poisonous bile he vomits all over other posters. His celebration last night of an assault on peaceful protesters and this morning's link to a known "fake news" website that spreads Putin's propaganda deserve something.

What's the name of his church? I want to stand outside and protest their terroristic views with an AR and a face mask. You know, since his ilk is cool with that.

We basically have had a 200 year game of Monopoly with the Supreme Court.  Then the Republicans changed the rules on "principle" not once but twice to stack the court.

Minority views are going to rule the United States for a long time, unless folks wake up and realize how fundamentally dangerous the Republican party is to personal freedom of everyone except AR carrying mass murderers.  The only way to fix the court is to expand it, because it is already packed.

I think it's outrageous bullshit that the SCOTUS left this up to the states...

What’s outrageous is that for nearly fifty years Congress has failed to codify R v W. By failing to do so, our elected officials have shown an amazing lack of conviction and courage. Instead of making law on behalf of the American people, they chose to ‘punt’ that burden to SCOTUS.

Blame SCOTUS if you will, but the real villain here is the cowards of Congress failing to codify a decision with which a majority of Americans agreed.

That's not how constitutional rights are supposed to work. Congress enacting a law does nothing to protect anyone from Congress revoking it or making a different law.

It’s a two way street and stating that it’s all on him is simply disingenuous. Banning him would send a message to the Republicans on this board, myself included. 

“If I can’t be an abject racist my views are being censored!”

Fuck you and your white victimhood complex.

His post is more evidence of the dogshit character of all Republicans.....

Think of the message it sends to us when you guys are so mean and won't let us spew our sewage on this forum??????!!! 

Meanwhile, the GQP celebrates the end of democracy and plots the next attempted coup while all women in this country have been relegated to second class citizens, kids get savagely murdered in school and the GQP shrugs it shoulders and says AINT NOBODAH TAKIN MAH GUNS.....

Strongly disagree with this popular sentiment for the simple reason that when you codify an essential human right protected under the Ninth Amendment--the right to bodily autonomy-- you erode its essence and power and allow for that to be taken away by that same process.

I know this has been pointed out, but I find the lack of completeness and transparency by Thomas really disturbing.  Whether it's pure hubris, a lack of intelligence, or both that lets him believe it's OK to cite Griswold, Lawrence and Obergefell but ignore Loving is not for me to say, but come on.

Obergefell cites Loving 23 times.  If Obergefell is subject to being overturned by SCOTUS, how in the world is Loving not at the same risk?

I mean, that's great of them and all, but now women have to ask for time off and submit expense reports for the most deeply personal and private decision of their lives. Because society doesn't already shame them quite enough. Well done, America.

You couldn’t have made my point more perfectly.
There’s literally nothing the GQP could do to lose your vote. They’ve already done something that could well have killed my wife if it was done 20 years ago. They’ve attempted to violently overthrow my country. They have given power to people who literally want to revoke my father’s citizenship (born here of Mexican parents - but they actually proposed challenging those old births, with no formal birth certificate). Their mouthpieces characterize me and my kind as “invaders,” inspiring stochastic terrorists to murder us as we shop at Walmart. I don’t conclude that you don’t care about the harm they visit on me and my family; I can only conclude that you LIKE it.
I can’t understand how any decent human can stand on the side of a movement that revels in its absolute cruelty. Then I realize that no decent person does.

This is a great post, and where I am at with conservatives.  Prior to about 2015 when I was 45, I had many conservative friends and family members.  But as we ran into issues with the conservative hand on the Texas education system (see the Texpatriate thread), I started struggling with them.  In our personal interactions, they were and still are kind and generous.  But I started struggling with their support of candidates and policies that directly harm my family.

My kids who have special needs are not worth educating to the conservatives that say they love them.  My father in law came her illegally during the cuban revolution under the threat of death.  Today, he would be turned away to a very uncertain fate by the conservatives that say they love him.  I have a niece and nephew that are gay, both are married and have fled to live in Canada because they see what the future holds for them in America.  They have been driven out of this country by the conservative friends and family that say they love them.

These friends and family hug you and say they love you, but they would deny your kids an education, their right to love who they choose, their right to their life's happiness and even their right to a life at all through their support of this radical conservative movement that has run amok in this country.

The saddest part is that they are clueless about it.  They wonder why you no longer call, say you love them or hug them back.  No matter how you try to explain, they can't see how their votes and support for this new brand of dark conservatism directly relates to your and/or your loved one's pain.  Because all they want to see is how they've treated you personally, and they ignore the damage from the policies their votes have enabled.

It's pretty fucking sad.

That’s true, but as we’ve just seen, SCOTUS can also revoke previous interpretations.

I’d rather take my chances with elected representative, who, to some extent can be influenced, as opposed to appointed decision makers who answer to no one.

It’s also a terrible precedent that has been happening repeatedly in this country. Corporations leading the way on protecting rights is terrible for the people of this country. They already have undue influence on the actual political process, allowing them to be our thought leaders will only end poorly. They exist for profit not to protect us

Who is ‘we’’and ‘us’? 

If you are allied with the new GOP ideology built on lies, hate, voter suppression and science denying-then by all means, go away and post on Texags or Tiger Rant where like minded people are found.   Because even though most of MAGA world believes all the lies, that does not mean they aren’t lies, or that shutting down the spread of lies is some kind of political Jihad against conservatives.  

It’s simply anti-hate and lies.

I have no idea, but my strong guess would be some kind of Baptist church. 

Imo, they are the worst when it comes to sanctimonious hypocrisy.

I, for one, don’t hate you. I can tell from your posts on other boards that you’re an intelligent guy. If we met in person with no knowledge of surly handles, I imagine we’d get along fine, and that’s probably true of most people here. There are other MAGA types on here that I can say the same for. It’s hard to articulate; pity is probably the closest word.
