Yeah, I made a comment on another thread saying that I feel the Taliban and the Christian Right in this country are ideologically aligned in many ways and I still feel that way. They may disagree on details of their religions but fundamentally they want the same thing.

Did you see the video of the guy on the beach chiding 2 girls for their explicit lack of clothing? They were wearing bikinis. Then the idiot goes and makes his own video defending himself and oh boy…

I stopped watching at holy spirit. Life’s too short.

11352

I stopped watching before I started.

I was against it before I was for it.

Too bad the holy spirit was just the warm up act. The last two minutes were the best. I hope the next virus the Chinese manufacturer in their labs is lot more targeted at stupid people.

Other Republicans’ assertions about the bill are equally laughable. GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy insisted that “if it is as terrible as people say it is, it’ll be destroyed by the Supreme Court.” (Except … it wasn’t.) He even declared that the court’s decision to let the law take effect was “clearly not an assault … upon Roe v. Wade .” (It was.) Why was Cassidy—who purports to support the reversal of Roe and the prohibition of abortion—so eager to convey his confidence that SCOTUS would uphold Roe and block Texas’ bill?

The most likely answer is that Cassidy, like most members of his party, have long assumed that Roe would serve as a guardrail against their most extreme anti-abortion legislation. They created the impression that Roe was “unsettled” and “unstable” while relying on its status as settled, stabled law to score political points. They pretended it was an “unworkable” precedent then trusted courts to enforce its obvious commands at the expense of their own legislation. Put simply, Republicans could only create the impression of Roe ’s instability because it was so stable.

The dog caught the car and now doesn’t know what to do with it.

“I am for rights and for the government trampling those so-called rights.”

I’m pretty sure that isn’t how rights work.

What a disgusting human being. I view someone like her as much worse than a man with that kind of awful attitude because she’s supposed to represent women and the control they should have over their own body.

LOL… the Christian Taliban man posted above, who tried to kick teenagers off the beach for wearing swim suits, has now been fired.

The original video and the one several posts above, he actually gets into telling them one of the reasons they shouldn’t be wearing bikinis is because he had a porn addiction when he was younger. It is so insanely messed up.

I’ll never forgive the cowardice of most Republican elected officials, but I can kinda of understand it a bit when this is what happens to you when you dare question the big lie.

Trump called him “corrupt” — and threats poured in, via voicemail, email and social media. A website appeared with his face centered in crosshairs, alongside his address and a picture of his home. FBI agents told him Iran was behind that page, according to his book, as part of a broader effort to amplify election disinformation.

When his teenage son Bayler tweeted a family motto, “Doing the right thing will never be the wrong thing,” the lieutenant governor liked and retweeted the post. His wife, Brooke, was “furious” with him because she feared he had just exposed their son to attack, Duncan writes, “and she was right.” State troopers stood guard as he played catch with his three boys in their yard. “Imagine explaining that to your children,” he writes.

So they’re finally experiencing the way their behavior and rhetoric has affected Democratic elected officials? Cool. Karma, bitches.

“This reaping what I’ve sown sucks!”

Here’s the thing though. If they united and stood up against this sort of shit, we’d be getting somewhere.
These CHUDS would go back underground. But instead they’re pandered to, encouraged and even ordered to keep doing this sort of shit.

I mean, I think that answer has been clear for a solid 60 years, but, sure.
