Wingnutties out of control!

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

neo's favorite senator

Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn, an anti-abortion rights Republican who recently dismissed as “constitutionally unsound” a longstanding Supreme Court ruling that legalized contraception, was once the leader of an on-campus women’s group that promoted birth control.

I can understand the ummm "logic" and/or beliefs that the anti-abortionists have, but I had no idea there was any issue over contraception, or what possible rationale there could be. But apparently it's really true that Repugs will protect babies only until they're born.

I've been seeing more than enough to imagine it could be the next front as it is now moving in from the fringes to Senators and I think a governor.

:crazy: Just this morning I got the latest edition of "The Blackburn Report" and after looking at it immediately started drinking. I just keep hoping she's among the victims of the next mass shooting. I have previously and more than once told her that. She never got back to me.

Dunno, exactly. But my guess is that it's a derogatory reference to the Repub-hated John McCain. Crenshaw might not have been quite the hero McCain was, but he has made much of his military service.

The most ignorant of the ignorant, Tucker Carlson, coined the term for him but I forget the reason.....probably because Tucker didn't consider him trumpy enough. But it is a slight on McCain who was definitely not trumpy enough for the cult of lies and ignorance.

God in a gopher hole! I guess this means that we can issue Fascist Asshole Criminal Trumper (FACT) hunting permits. And if that don't crack the nut, we could issue Neofascists Enthralled With Trump (NEWT) stomping permits.

It'll be a shame when somebody gets hurt/killed from this. Less a shame since it will probably be a Repug, but still.

Went to a doctor's appointment last week, was chatting with the desk person and mentioned the hearing.

She said "what are they having hearings for?"

I half envied her.

It's like George Carlin said.....consider the stupidity of the average person and realize that half of them are stupider than that. That desk person is among the lower portion of average. Most people in Europe and Asia speak more than one language. They all laugh at us.

Yeah, but can you dance the latest viral TikTok? She can.

I read the Texas Repug platform is pretty much always written by wackos and is a bit wild, but this year is worse than average.
