Wingnutties out of control!

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Speaking of ethics...
"Members of Congress (are) near bottom of ethics ratings: Gallup"

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/other/me ... 378d3fa39a
Members of Congress are perceived to have among the lowest ethical standards of any occupation, according to a new Gallup poll.

The survey found 62 percent of respondents said members of Congress have “very low” or “low” ethical standards, while only 9 percent said they had “very high” or “high” standards. Only telemarketers received a worse rating.

Gallup surveyed respondents on their views on a total of 18 occupations, including high school teachers, police officers and journalists.

Nurses received the highest score, with 79 percent saying they have very high or high ethical standards, followed by medical doctors and pharmacists.
Seems like those that have accountability by ways of standards and consequences have higher ethics.....go figure.

Y'know, something like the House Ethics Committee could be used legitimately or as a political weapon equally by either party, and particularly the party in power could use it to make opponents' lives miserable. It seems to be telling that Repugs, sleazy as they are, still seemed to recognize that they're the ones who would most likely be chastised by an ethics group - so much so that they'd rather de-fang it than use it. These people are more slimy than a greased pig.
Is it any wonder their first empty gesture is to defund the IRS? :D

I'm wondering when the house is going to pass a bill to repeal Obamacare.

Gallup also broke it down along political lines
Repugs vs Dems (or fox vs reality)
Teachers - repug say 37% ethical to 73% of dems
Cops 62% of repugs say all super great to 38% of dems find cops to be ethical
Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”

... Republicans’ views of nurses, medical doctors and pharmacists are also somewhat worse than Democrats’ views of people in those fields. Gallup identified the start of the COVID-19 pandemic as the beginning of a difference there, noting that both Democrats and Republicans’ views of those occupations were in sync before the pandemic began.

:lol: God took his tongue lest he utter heresy admitting that god is not pro life.

Also, believers must admit that every spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) - around 30% to 50% of all fertilizations! - is at the hands of their supposed god, the Abortionist in Chief, often with the assistance of the polluters, racists and elitists that Repugs worship.

Very true. If everything is gods will, then miscarriages are gods will as well, ergo God aborts babies.

Republican US Senate candidate backs abortion travel ban for Hoosier women

https://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/gov ... adbe1.html

"Our work as a pro-life movement is far from over," Miller said. "If a young lady can hop in a car in Fort Wayne and in an hour and a half she can be in a place in Michigan, or in just under three hours she can cross the line into Illinois, and achieve what she was (un)able to do with abortion clinics here in Indiana, the fight is far from over."

Wingnuts are weird, but I guess they're playing to their idiot base. How come they don't introduce legislation that actually allows and encourages citizens to vote?

How can the idiot see a 241% arrest increase over the former guy as an increase in lawlessness?

And a 241% increase in sun filled days proves an increase in rain. By Jove, I think I've got it.

See. I've been telling anyone who'll listen that this woman is crazy. I used to send her hate mail until I realized it was just wasted time for me. She sucks. If I knew what vehicle she rode in I'd spray paint "you suck" on the hood of it. ok
