https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...and%20Good.jpgThese really are the easiest posts to compile because there are dumb people everywhere and it seems they are all trying to out-dumb one another with fear and loathing, but there are some bright spots, and given this is Pride Month, it’s especially nice there most are LGBTQ+ … so here goes:
MASSACHUSETTS
Rayla Campbell, the GOP nominee for Secretary of State, said this at the state Republican convention:MISSOURI
“You can’t just sit and say, ‘Oh, that’s terrible. Maybe somebody else will take care it. Oh, that’s not so nice.’ Well, I don’t think it’s so nice when [teachers are] telling your five-year-old that he can go suck another five-year-old’s dick, do you? This is what they’re doing!”And uttered without a shred of proof.
GOP Representative Billy Long, a candidate for Senate, has a bizarre new plan to get Thing 45 reinstated to office.LOUISIANA
He says that he will get Vice President Kamala Harris to resign, and then he have President Biden appoint Thing 45 as vice president, and then have Biden himself resign, putting Thing 45 first in line to ascend to the presidency.
Seriously, he thinks this might work.
The Louisiana House approved two anti-abortion bills that restricts access to abortions.OHIO
One makes it a crime to sell abortion pills through the mail, while the second closes every abortion clinic in the state, criminalizes most pregnancy termination actions, and sends physicians who perform the procedures to prison.
I really want the mistress of just one GOP politician to come forward and talk about the abortion she had at the behest of her anti-abortion lover.
House Republicans passed a bill to ban all transgender students from playing high school and college sports and requires a genital exam in any disputes.TENNESSEE
These pigs voted on this bill on the first day of Pride Month.
Hate.
Stewart Parks is a GOP candidate for Congress and wants y’all to know that if he’s elected Pride celebrations are done.GOOD
“If you elect me, this month will be the last National Gay Pride month ever celebrated. We need to elect people into US congress that will stand up and say Homosexuality and Transgenderism are evil. I will push to have the 2015 Obergefell vs Hodges ruling overturned which legalized same sex marriage … We have to ban it asap and safeguard our children against it. We have to get Transgenderism out of our schools. When I win this election everyone will know their gender again.”Stew seems a little too enthralled with being gay or trans. I think he has a secret …
AMERICA
The Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal from Boozy and Clod, AKA Mark and Patricia McCloskey, that St. Louis couple who waved guns at a Black Lives Matter protest outside their home in 2020. They are both facing an indefinite suspension of their law licenses.NEW JERSEY
Sorry, not sorry.
Students and faculty at Passaic Preparatory Academy rallied to show their LGBTQ+ pride after a school board policy prevented them from hoisting a rainbow Pride flag on the flagpole in front of the school.UTAH
After students at Passaic Preparatory Academy raised the flag last June for Pride Month, the Board of Education, realizing there was no policy covering which flags could be flown, worked to change that policy into one that allows only an American flag, a New Jersey state flag, or a school flag to be flown.
So, what did the students do? Well, since the law says you cannot fly a Pride flag on the flagpole, the students opted instead to hang Pride flags in every single window, and on every wall in the school.
This is how you do it.
The state’s GOP Governor Spencer Cox issued a proclamation marking June as LGBTQ+ Pride Month and calling on Utahns to be more welcoming and accepting of the community:CALIFORNIA
“This should not be controversial. There should be nothing controversial about supporting a group of people in our state who have historically felt marginalized.”Cox may be the only Republican governor in the entire country to issue such a proclamation; last year, he issued a similar proclamation, becoming the first Utah governor to officially acknowledge Pride Month.
Good on this Governor.
Years back the Los Angeles Dodgers mistreated Glenn Burke, the first out gay player in Major League Baseball history; this week the team will be honoring Burke’s legacy and his family at its 9th annual Pride Night.Remember, We The People have to make the Good News happen by speaking up and standing up and shouting out and voting to remove those people from office who are out to harm women, People of Color, and the LGBTQ+ community in their quest to take this country backwards.
In 1978, the Dodgers traded Burke to the Oakland Athletics because the Dodgers’ general manager, Al Campanis, disapproved of his homosexuality. Campanis ALLEGEDLY tried to hide Burke’s sexuality from the public by offering him $75,000 to get married, to which Burke incredulously replied, “To a woman?!??”
It was particularly insulting to Burke as he had a solid rookie season and helped the team advance to the 1977 World Series. During his time with the Dodgers, Burke was also credited with inventing the high-five as a congratulatory gesture with teammates.
Burke’s stint with the Oakland A’s didn’t go much better after the team’s manager Claudell Washington introduced him to the team with:
“Oh, by the way, this is Glenn Burke. And he’s a faggot.”Some teammates avoided showering with Burke, and he was released from his contract and sent to a minor league team in Ogden, Utah. After Burke left the sport entirely he moved to San Francisco and played on gay teams, but later fought addiction and died of complications related to HIV in 1995.
Over 40 of Burke’s family and friends are expected to attend the event. During the event, the Dodgers will take a moment to officially honor Burke and the players will wear custom rainbow ballcaps.
Think of how different this all might have been if professional sports wasn’t such a hotbed of homophobia.
Congratulations, Glenn, I’m giving you a high-five right now.
Not to mention the NRA lapdogs and asshats.

For those who didn't hear, and this news shouldn't be surprising at all, Fox News is not going to be airing the January 6 prime time hearings. I do believe I might have mentioned earlier that they were never going to participate directly; that would be like waving their shitty underwear in public. I didn't see if OneNews is going to carry the hearings or not. For those who haven't heard, MAGAs are switching to OneNews because... well, their lord and savior, Donald Trump, no longer likes Fox. Many Americans now realize that Fox News has turned into the National Enquirer of cable news networks. This should have been expected. Rupert Murdoch and his spawn will always fall back on that open thing that made them rich: tabloid news.
https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...0/BOBS%203.jpg During a radio appearance last week, The Kenosha Murderer did his best impression of a high school athlete announcing his college choice on National Signing Day by pulling a Texas A&M hat from under a table, putting on his head, and saying:
“I’m going to be going there, and it’s going to be awesome.”Odd then that a university official released a statement that The Kenosha Murder isn’t attending Texas A&M:
“He has not been admitted as a student this summer or fall.”To be fair, he’s a murderer so it isn’t much of a stretch for him to be a fucking liar, too.
https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...0/BOBS%204.jpg Pope Francis added fuel to rumors about his future as Pope by announcing he would visit L’Aquila for a feast initiated by Pope Celestine V, one of the few pontiffs who resigned before Pope Benedict XVI stepped down in 2013. Italian and Catholic media have been speculating that Frankie might be retiring, given his increased mobility problems that have forced him to use a wheelchair recently.
Now, work with me here because I have a theory. You see, Queen Elizabeth just had her Platinum Jubilee, and there are rumors that she might step down, given that she is in her last nineties. And she is newly widowed so … maybe it’s true that Betty Windsor and Frankie Pope are a “thing”? I mean, c’mon, they both love fancy robes and jewel-encrusted headwear and pomp and circumstance; Grindr couldn’t make a better match..
And what’s their celebrity name? Peen? Quope? Fretty? Bankie?
https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...0/BOBS%205.jpg In Republicans Are Pigs News … in Tennessee, mere minutes after a vigil for the victims of the mass shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde, the state’s GOP asshat of a governor, Bill Lee, had the memorial deconstructed and removed from the building.
According to video from local news organization The Tennessee Holler, all the flowers, cards, a teddy bear, and even a letter to the governor signed by dozens of clergy, appeared headed for the garbage.
Not a real surprise Lee is a pig; last year he signed legislation allowing almost any adult to carry a firearm without a permit/license, training, or insurance.
Fuck Bill Lee and the GOP and Tennessee.
https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...0/BOBS%206.jpg Last week, we went to a Memorial Day gathering at our friends, the Round-The-Way-Gays, Neal and David, who have recently moved back to Camden. We saw a bunch of old friends we hadn’t seen since the pandemic started and had a lovely afternoon of food and drinks and laughs.
As we were eating David, the perfect host and bartender, asked if I wanted another margarita. I replied:
“Oh, one is my limit.”And the fourth was the best one ever.
“But this will be your fourth!”
"I didn’t say I adhered to it.”
https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...0/BOBS%207.jpg Antonio Sherrodd McGarity of Arlington, Texas, pleaded guilty last week to Lewd, Indecent, or Obscene Acts While on an Aircraft and was sentenced to 48 days in prison, followed by one year of probation. He is also prohibited from flying commercially in the United States while on probation.
What did he do? Well, during a Southwest Airlines flight from Seattle to Phoenix, McGarity exposed himself to other passengers while masturbating several times.
Wow, and that’s just a 3-hour flight. Imagine how many times he could have choked his chicken if he was headed to Australia?
https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...0/BOBS%208.jpg Fox News will be the only major news network not to air the entire January 6 Committee hearings live probably because some of their most vile on-air talent is complicit in the attempt to overthrow the government.
Plus, Fox News can’t handle the truth.
https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...0/BOBS%209.jpg The other day Debra had a post on She Who Seeks about companies that profess their support of the LGBTQ+ community only during Pride month, but what about the ones who think their showing Pride when they’re just showing ridiuclousness? Amirite Burger King?
To be fair, amirite Burger King Austria? This week the fast-food company unveiled its new Pride Whopper, which features “same-sex” buns and asks that age old question: are you a top or are you a bottom?
“We stand for the equal rights of all identities and sexual orientations. A little twist to put a smile on your face and remind us to treat each other respectfully and peacefully. No matter who you are and who you love.”Is it really “respectful” to make your Pride burger something that could be interpreted as being a sexual joke about “tops” and “bottoms”? And then think about those conservative wingnut parents trying to explain to their kids why mommy’s a top and daddy’s a bottom.
This is the most ridiculous attempt at pretending to have LGBTQ+ Pride as I have ever seen.
https://blogger.googleusercontent.co.../BOBS%2010.jpg In the wake of all the mass shootings in the United States of Guns a new poll conducted by CBS News and YouGov surveyed Americans about their thoughts on guns and gun control, asking respondents if they felt that mass shootings are an unavoidable by-product of a “free society” or if they believed the issue could be tackled.
Forty-four percent of all respondents who identified as Republicans believe mass shootings are “unfortunately something we have to accept as part of a free society.”
I wonder if any of these illiterate fuckmonkeys will feel the same when their little Billy or Julie gets slaughtered in the schoolyard.
Trump Throws Ivanka Under the Bus: She Was ‘Checked Out’ and ‘Not Involved’ in Studying Election Results
https://soulfuldetroit.com/image/png...AAAElFTkSuQmCC
https://am12.mediaite.com/med/cnt/up...-1200x824.jpeg
Former President Donald Trump took a shot at his own daughter Ivanka Trump over video testimony that aired during Thursday night’s House Select Committee hearing on the January 6th attack.
The former First Daughter played a unique role in her father’s administration as she worked in the West Wing as a Senior Advisor, alongside her husband, Jared Kushner. During the prime time hearing, a video of Ivanka aired in which interviewers asked what she thought of former Attorney General Bill Barr’s assessment that the election wasn’t stolen, as then-President Trump has and is still baselessly claiming.
“It affected my perspective. I respect Attorney General Barr so I accepted what he said,” Ms. Trump testified, which represented another, quite personal and familial, nail in the coffin of Trump’s baseless claims.
Considering that her father continues to claim he only lost the 2020 general election because of widespread electoral malfeasance, none of which has been proven in a court of law, this is remarkably damning. So much so that the former president took to his social media platform Truth Social, and did the previously unthinkable: he threw his daughter under the bus, saying:Ivanka Trump was not involved in looking at, or studying, Election results. She had long since checked out and was, in my opinion, only trying to be respectful to Bill Barr and his position as Attorney General [[he sucked!).Since the select committee hearing aired Thursday night, Trump has been on a rageaholic bender on Truth Social, spewing most of his bile on his former Attorney General. Not many predicted that he would also go after his own daughter, but here we are.

And that was a really good way to get to know each other. It was a bit old-school in that sense — very romantic. I think going through the process of finding more self-worth, I think that what you want in a partner is elevated, and so it’s great to have someone who feels like an equal partner and be in a healthy relationship. I thought I was searching for a Disney Prince… but maybe what I really needed all this time was a Disney Princess .”Welcome out, Rebel, and please accept as our gift, from Homo HQ, the Official Coming Out Toaster Oven™ and a copy of The Gay Agenda.

https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...0BUTTIGIEG.jpg Pete Buttigieg, Secretary of Transportation, subtly calling out NRA lapdog Senator Ted Cruz for his “solution” to prevent mass shootings: “We have a horrific scourge of gun violence in this country. As mayor—as every mayor is doing around the country—you take the steps that you can to reduce community violence. But you’re also looking at Washington to say, ‘Will anything be different this time? Will we actually acknowledge the reasons why we are the only country … where this happens on a routine basis?' The idea that us being the only developed country where this happens routinely—especially in terms of the mass shootings—is somehow a result of the design of the doorways on our school buildings is the definition of insanity, if not the definition of denial.”Snap.
Pete—and yes, that is my favorite picture of Hot Pete—is all common sense, something an insane loon living in denial would never understand.
We need more Pete’s in Washington, and less Ted’s.

https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...%20Masters.jpg Blake Masters, Arizona Republican Senate hopeful, admits the United States has a gun violence problem, but he knows who to blame: “We do have a gun violence problem in this country, and it’s gang violence. It’s people in Chicago, St. Louis shooting each other. Very often, you know, Black people, frankly. And the Democrats don’t want to do anything about that.”Racist fuck. Plain and simple and right in your face. Racist fuck.
Is this what you want Arizona?
https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...cConaughey.jpg Matthew McConaughey, actor, a native of Uvalde, Texas, telling the stories of those who died at Robb Elementary: "You could feel the shock in the town. You could feel the pain, the denial, the disillusion, anger, blame, sadness, loss of lives, dreams halted. You know what every one of these parents wanted, what they asked us for? ... That they want their children's dreams to live on. That they want their children's dreams to continue, to accomplish something after they are gone. They want to make their loss of life matter. [Meaningful gun legislation reform, universal background checks, raising the minimum age for purchasing an AR-15 to 21, a waiting period for purchasing AR-15s and the implementation of red flag laws] are reasonable, practical, tactical regulations to our nation, states, communities, schools and homes. Responsible gun owners are fed up with the Second Amendment being abused and hijacked by some deranged individuals. These regulations are not a step back—they're a step forward for a civil society and, and the Second Amendment. ... We got to take a sober, humble, and honest look in the mirror and rebrand ourselves based on what we truly value. What we truly value. We got to get some real courage and honor our immortal obligations instead of our party affiliations. Enough with the counterpunching. Enough of the invalidation of the other side. Let's come to the common table that represents the American people. Find a middle ground, the place where most of us Americans live anyway. Especially on this issue. Because I promise you, America, you and me, we are not as divided as we are being told we are."McConaughey and his wife, Camila Alves, spent most of the past week with the families of those who were killed in his hometown. He showed pictures of their artwork and brought to the briefing room green Converse shoes like the ones that one girl wore every day that were used to identify her body after the shooting. She had drawn a heart on one of the shoes.
We’re killing children in America and one party doesn’t want to act in any way that inhibits the NRA from making money. They value what is a domestic terror organization over the lives of children.

And, of course, last night was the first Prime-Time hearing of the January 6 committee. I spent some time looking for any kind of ratings information, none was available. I did find a lot of commentary regarding Fox's continued attempt to foist The Big Lie on its viewers. Someone pointed out that Tucker Carlson did the first 60 minutes of his show without a commercial break, indicating Fox is so desperate they were willing to lose money.
As for the hearings, I watched them. I was impressed by so very much. America got to watch and hear Billy Barr say the election lies were "bullshit." I thought the juxtaposition of Trump's speech with the clips of the mob breaking into the capital buildings quite compelling. I was impressed with Liz Cheney; she no doubt made her dad proud last evening. Her comment to Republicans on how someday Trump will be gone, but their dishonor will always remain was stupendous. I got a real chortle when she mentioned that Scott Perry, a Republican from Pennsylvania, had, after January 6, requested a pardon from Trump. His spokesperson quickly called that comment ludicrous, however, she wouldn't have made it without proof. The testimony by the documentarian was fascinating, pointing out for the first time how The Proud Boys and The Oath Keepers were working in conjunction with each other. The police officer's testimony was riveting as she compared the insurrection to a warzone.
Last night's hearing is not going to change the minds of those who turned to Fox, it was never intended to. It was for the vast majority of Americans, Democrat, Centrist, Independent, and level-headed Republicans, many of whom are just beginning to realize that the party of Trump has morphed into something that is craven for power. Conservatives don't want to make America great,
they want to control your life.
Of course, there was a lot of chatter on social media about Ivanka's cameo. Let's be honest here. She's looking out for her own ass. Nothing else counts to a Trump. You see, her daddy raised her to be just like him.
The edges around the Magaverse are fraying and beginning to shred. The evil is starting to float to the surface. 31 white supremacists, members of the group Patriot Front, were arrested up in Idaho yesterday. Their plan was to disrupt, possibly cause a riot at a Pride Festival. 29 of them were riding in the back of a U-Haul, along with their shields, clubs, and at least 1 smoke grenade. I know how big that U-Haul is, and they were packed in their tightly, up close and personal tightly, so it wouldn't surprise me if they were celebrating a little Patriot Fund Pride. Maybe that's why they wear those white balaclavas, so they don't know who's zoomin' who.
The January 6 committee was in fine form yesterday. The only issue I had was with Billy Barr. When he said that Trump did not have a grasp on reality, I wondered whether he was setting up some sort of insanity plea should the DOJ indict. Later, I saw I was not the only to take a long 'hmmm' moment to question what Billy was actually doing. The $250 million raised for an election fund raised the ominous specter of wire fraud. Jail time there, if he's still in this country by then.
A bit I saw in the NYT that I found interesting, helmet-haired Betsy DeVos, upon finding out how arduous the process would be to remove Trump using the 25th amendment resigned. That fit her selfish profile.
And finally, one of the funny things I saw on social media was this: every time the name Rudy Giuliani comes up in the hearings you need to take a drink, alcohol of course, since witness after witness has somehow managed to say, "you could tell he'd been drinking."
Billy 'I always look greasy and smelly' Barr ain't happy.

Bannon Threatens Barr: “We’re Coming For You, Bro”
June 14, 2022 Extremists, Trump cultists
“We’re not going to be blown off by somebody like Bill Barr. Bill Barr, we’re coming for you, bro! You’re sitting there lying about this.
“If you had any decency whatsoever you would have reached out to Dinesh D’Souza before you smeared him.
“We’re going to deconstruct this, and we’re going to rub your nose in it and then we’re going to come after you legally. We’re not just going to sit here anymore.
“The days of the deplorables and the days of MAGA just sitting there and out betters telling us what it is are over.” – Steve Bannon, on today’s podcast.
Barr’s guest is Catherine Engelbrecht of True The Vote, which was just exposed for a massive alleged scam.

Addresses discriminatory legislative attacks against LGBTQI+ children and families, directing key agencies to protect families and childrenThat’s my president, working for equality rather than trying to criminalize your sexual orientation or gender identity.
Prevent so-called “conversion therapy” with a historic initiative to protect children from the harmful practice

https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...0/BOBS%204.jpg Last year a woman sued GEICO for catching HPV while having sex in a car insured by GEICO. The woman says she had unprotected sex with her then-boyfriend and contracted HPV and sued GEICO for $1 million in monetary damages. They declined, and the case was sent to arbitration.
Cut to this year and the Court of Appeals for the Western District of Missouri has ordered GEICO to pay the woman M.O. $5.2 million in damages because she was injured in a car they insured.
Seriously.
And not a word about the woman choosing to have unprotected sex. No responsibility.
https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...0/BOBS%205.jpg One of my favorite parts of the January 6 hearings is the testimony from several witnesses who say that on Election Night Rudy Giuliani showed up at the White House rather intoxicated.
The blowback from that story has led to the creation of a new adjective, giuliani’d, as in:
“I went out last night and got so giuliani’d that I had unprotected sex in a GEICO-insured car and may have caught HPV.”I like it.
https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...0/BOBS%206.jpg For years, Georgia GOP senate candidate Herschel Walker has expressed an enormous pride and love for his adult son, while taking a stand against fatherless households and deadbeat dads—specifically in the Black community—but now we know that Walker, who has apparently never met the truth, has a second son, who has apparently been estranged from his biological father since his birth a decade ago.
Walker was hit with a paternity suit, in which he admitted being the father, pays child support, and sends Christmas & birthday gifts, but does not see this son.
That’s all.
https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...0/BOBS%207.jpg The new story all over the web is the ALLEGATIONS that Congressperson Lauren Boebert was an "unlicensed paid escort" who had "two abortions" and was convinced to run for office by Ted Cruz who may or may not have been a client, and then married a man who ALLEGEDLY whipped out his penis to underage girls at a bowling alley.
She really is the ideal representative of the Republican party.
PS Of note is that Ted Cruz, who never shuts up about anything—and always tries to insinuate himself into any trending topic—has not even remarked on reports that he hired Lauren Boebert and she may have aborted his baby.
Uh huh.
Some wise words for Trump and his Trumpers.

Trump Ridicules “Human Conveyor Belt” Mike Pence
June 17, 2022 Trump Corruption, Trump Lies
“Mike Pence had a chance to be great. He had a chance to be frankly historic.
“But just like Bill Barr and the rest of these weak people, Mike, and I say it sadly ‘cause I like him, but Mike did not have the courage to act.
“The election was perfect. And the Democrats are sitting back, saying ‘No way,we’re going to impeach this guy.’ But Mike was afraid of whatever he was afraid of.
“But, as you heard a year and a half ago, Mike Pence had absolutely no choice but to be a human conveyor belt – he was a human conveyor belt – even if the votes were fraudulent.
“They said he had to send the votes – couldn’t do anything.” – The world’s most famous liar, this afternoon at the Faith & Freedom convention in Nashville.
I saw this in the NYT this morning, call it a little treatise on election denying Republicans. This group will never believe the truth. Ever. They are becoming modern day Confederates who will never believe the war is over, that Lee actually surrendered, or that Trump is a malignant force out to destroy Democracy. I do not doubt for a second that they are decedents of that group of Americans who stayed loyal to the crown during the Revolutionary War. These are people who need an authoritarian leader, that one thing Democracy will never provide. Their souls vibrated with the need to say "Shut up! We're in charge." The sad truth is that when they do manage to get themselves in power, they cater only to their own wishes, leaving everybody else to just rot. They are a very selfish group of people. The reality we need to face is that when they lose, they need to be punished, which creates a problem. After the Civil War, Confederate leaders were just allowed to go home. No punishment was levied against them. That was a big mistake. They didn't learn. Ford pardoned Nixon because... well, maybe he thought it was the civilized thing to do, or maybe he thought it would keep the country unified. Big Mistake. He should have served jail time. That pardon sent a message: you can pretty much get away with anything if you're president. And not only presidents. Oliver North, a Republican, was found guilty of going through Iran, our enemy, to weaponize the Contra rebels in Central America, and when George H. Bush, a Republican, was elected president he pardoned North. Holy Shit Bangs! We have been sending the wrong messages for decades, which is why we have to deal with the Trump Shit Show. How do we stop this? End it forever? Simply lock that asshole up. Lock up Scott Perry, and Eastman, and Navarro. The punishment needs to begin now, otherwise they will continue to do it over, and over, and over again.

I saw that Dan Crenshaw, a Republican from Texas who nearly physically attacked extremist MAGAs. They called him names, one of them shouting he 'needed to be hung.' This is the base the GOP is so desperate to hold on to. How desperate? Adam Kintzinger has pointed out that so far Kevin McCarthy has said nothing. Don't expect him to, at least until maybe later this afternoon or tomorrow, if he says anything at all. Maybe he'll just run away from the reporters, like he's done before. This party is so terrified of alienating one MAGA hate monger, they will tolerate any evil.
In another example, Shannon Boon, from Fox News, asked Mike Lee if the GOP might be out of step with the constitution regarding gun legislation. Of course, fearful of alienating even a single one of those MAGA gun owners, he obfuscated. You could say he did a little Texas Two Step in his response, saying there wasn't really a bill and that you can't ascertain anything without a bill. You know what I'm talking about. He spit out the same horse shit Republicans always spit out because they're terrified of alienating even one vote of their gun loving base. The idea that they might gain more voters than they lose by voting for gun control isn't even something they can see in their rear-view mirror.
Oh Herschel, It's best You Don't Speak
https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...Y/s16000/A.jpg Last week talked about Georgia GOP Senate candidate Herschel Walker’s campaign to make men more accountable as father’s and criticizing Black men who walk away from their families.
It all became even more interesting when we found out that Walker is one of those fathers who had a child with a woman and then left the family.
Now, Walker has admitted Herschel had a son he’d never mentioned, but denied he was trying to keep his secret son a secret. Herschel Walker takes care of his children even the son he’s never seen and he was furious that he was portrayed as a deadbeat dad.
And then came word that Herschel Walker has yet another son, a thirteen-year-old, with a different woman who had to sue deadbeat dad Herschel Walker for support.
And then there was a third child, a daughter born while Walker was in college.
Gosh, Herschel, I can see why you don’t want to debate anyone. So many lies and so many children to keep secret. In fact, Christian Walker, the son Herschel admits to, recently went on a video rant about deadbeat dads, specifically Nick Cannon saying those men were “everything wrong” with America and adding:
“Get home and raise your kids! And take care of the women you’re knocking up! Can you control your thing for three seconds??”I guess Christian didn’t know about his secret siblings at the time and didn’t know his own Daddy couldn’t control his “thing.”
Seriously Georgia? Haven’t you been embarrassed enough by “Gazpacho-police-Peach-Tree-Dish-Fragrantly-Denied” Marjorie Traitor Greene? Do you really need Walker, the GOP poster boy for saying one thing, preaching one thing, and then doing exactly the opposite?
Texas Takes A Giant Step Backwards
https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...BLOG%20gop.jpg The Texas GOP held their convention HateFest over the weekend and became the first state GOP group to deny Log Cabin Republicans, an organization of gay conservatives, a booth because, well, they’re gay y’all. And while the decision was a close 4-3 vote by the Texas State Republican Executive Committee, it was still a vote to Don’t Say Gay.
The Log Cabin Republicans [LCR] said the Texas convention should have allowed them to host a booth in the name of “inclusion.” Inclusion? The GOP? Well, the LCR says the proof that the GOP is more inclusive is the fact that a Mexican-American conservative Mayra Flores won a special election to take the state’s 34th congressional district.
“Texas Republicans just saw on Tuesday night what happens when the party includes new faces and voices – a Democrat-held seat was flipped for the first time in nearly a hundred years by a conservative Mexican woman. It’s clear that inclusion wins, which makes the Texas Republican Party leadership decision to exclude the Texas Log Cabin Republicans from their convention not just narrow-minded, but politically short-sighted.”
Let’s be clear, one Mexican-American winning her election does not make the party inclusive when they want troops at the border to keep immigrants, like Mayra Flores’ ancestors, out of the country.
And here are more examples, via the Texas GOP’s own 1972 2022 platform, that illustrates their inclusivity:
Homosexuality is an abnormal lifestyle choice.That’s Texas, where they have just seen schoolchildren slaughtered by a gun nut, where they spent part of the winter without heat or electricity because of the incompetence of the GOP, and that’s the Texas GOP.
President Joe Biden “was not legitimately elected.”
Texas GOP Senator John Cornyn was rebuked for merely taking part in bipartisan gun talks.
Texas schoolchildren should “learn about the humanity of the preborn child” including teaching that life begins at fertilization.
Gender identity disorder is “a mental health condition” requiring official documents to adhere to “biological gender,” and allowing civil penalties and monetary compensation to “de-transitioners” who have received gender-affirming surgery, which the Texas GOP calls a form of medical malpractice.
Remove the Legislature’s power “to regulate the wearing of arms, with a view to prevent crime.”
Inclusive they are not.
https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...0/BOBS%209.jpg Mehmet Oz, the quack “doctor” and GOP nominee for the Senate from Pennsylvania spent his entire primary run boasting about Thing 45’s endorsement of him.
But my oh my how things have changed with the January 6th Hearings. Oz and his team are quietly shifting his campaign message away from Thing 45, and his banners now say, “Thank you, Pennsylvania” and no longer feature any phots of Oz and Thing.
Pandering fuck.
For today's edition of the Jan. 6 hearings: It was quite interesting, mostly focused on the Department of Justice and how 45 tried to bend it to his will in order to steal the election. What I want to know is what these men who were being bombarded by POTUS's internet-searched theories on how exactly the election was stolen, were saying in the privacy of their own conversations with each other? When exactly did they begin calling him insane? Far before the theory where an Italian satellite had changed Trump votes to Biden votes, I would imagine. I would give a lot of money to have been a fly on the wall in some of those rooms. I'm willing to bet that there were cusses that even I could not have imagined. And now did they prevent themselves from laughing out loud at some of the conspiracy theories he truly, honestly wanted them to investigate?
I have no idea.
