The GOP is still morally corrupt, even if Discourse breaks

So, Animal and Human Sacrifice are (literally) back on the Table?

More likely the altar, but why quibble?

I’m sure Texas would find a way to decide which religions are “real” if this law survives first contact with reality.
I personally would love to see someone who worships Tlaloc in court for their bowl of human hearts they needed to get rain for their crops.

I thought about posting this one, but decided against it as I am trying to limit my use of obscenities on the internet this week. Suffice to say that it couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. He’s been coasting fat and happy on donor money with his secure gerrymandered house seat for years and I figured he’d have another decade at it so this is delightful.

For extra fun here’s a picture of his freshly gerrymandered district.

And here’s a picture of Jeff Fortenberry.

That guy will probably win re-election while under indictment, refuse to resign when convicted and be welcomed back by the GOP caucus when he gets out.

Might be best case scenario, you don’t get to vote in prison.

I’d be lying if I tried to say I didn’t consider the fact today’s GOP would at some point come out as pro child labor.

Government paying $300 per child every month not to work is socialism And the radical left is just one Senate comrade away from making it the law https://t.co/URuxWK3juo

I mean, what does $300 even buy you? A gallon of milk?

The poors obviously aren’t suffering enough!
What a garbage governor

ShivaX · 2021-10-21T01:02:53.012Z

She was competent for a brief moment at the beginning of Covid and I’m now convinced it was purely by accident.
She had no idea what to do, so she just copied other governors and did the right thing.
Then it became a partisan thing and her head went directly back up Trump’s asshole since Branstad wasn’t around anymore (his ass being her standard l head location). It’s all she knows. Well that and getting plastered and going for a drive.

The 2012 GOP primary debates had several of the candidates talk about repealing child labor laws and minimum wage.

Kids in a coal mine – much more effective than a canary. If the kid keels over you know there are dangerous gases, but if he doesn’t pass out he can dig coal! What does a canary do besides sit in a cage?

Gordon_Cameron · 2021-10-21T14:56:49.379Z

Why does the Marxist Left want to stop kids from exercising their God given right to make money?
