Pro-Death

South Carolina Republicans want to impose the death penalty on South Carolinian women who seek abortions in another state. You know, because the GOPee is pro-life, right? 

Hell is too good for these PoS.

The GOPee Are Just Following Orders From Their Base

These Republican sewer rats masquerading as politicians are merely individuals. The true rot lies at the heart of the QOP base who vote for this scum in droves. And in the case of the Orange Turd, by the millions. Those millions are the truly putrid ones: those who celebrate the authoritarian measures and dictatorial rants; who mix anti-Semitism and a contempt for the press by chanting "Jew York Times!" at rallies; who endorse the banning of drag shows in public places but are fine with Nazis demonstrating in the same public square. They are filth of the lowest kind and the worst of this country by far. And no one can change my mind.

What's The Frequency, Rupert?

Now that there is a preponderance of evidence that Fox News deliberately lied to their audience in order to stop the hemorrhaging of viewers—who didn’t want to hear the unbearable news that their favorite Orange Turd had lost the election—there’s a lot of talk going around about the infamous cable network going bankrupt from this Dominion lawsuit and a similar one by Smartmatic alleging defamation with intent. The former is looking for $1.6b in damages but with a punitive award the sky’s the limit.

“This will finally break Fox.”

“They’re gonna go bankrupt.”

“Fox News will disappear.”

 

Nope. I don’t think so.

 

To be completely honest I’m basing this on my ever growing cynicism. I mean, if you’ve lived in this country, or have been observing it closely, you know that in the last few years, in particular, the lack of accountability is breathtaking, even by Third World standards. I mean, if any of us had committed a mere fraction of the crimes #TRE45ON is guilty of, we’d be wearing orange jumpsuits at Guantanamo already. And yet…

 

Meanwhile, there are traitors to this country who supported the January 6 insurrection currently seated in the halls of Congress, and on investigative committees, who should be, as they say in mob parlance, “guests of the government”—behind bars not grandstanding on TV.

Alas…

 

Yes, I believe Fox will lose the Dominion defamation case and pay $2 billion or $3 billion or whatever the amount ends up being—the company coffers are deep and Rupert Murdoch is worth tens of billions if I’m not mistaken, so that’s covered—but the Fox audience isn’t going anywhere and those who think that advertisers are going to leave the network on principle because they lied to the audience, are delusional. Advertisers aren’t going to walk away because the eyeballs are going to be there: as long as they keep bashing Dems, PoC, LGBTQ folks and celebrate the likes of Putin and Ordan, the Fox faithful will tune in. They won’t care that they were lied to about the 2020 election or Dominion, etc. or even care about the contempt that Fucker Klansman has for them and their Mango Mussolini. As long as they’re being fed red poisonous meat every day they won’t care and tune in as usual.

 

Don’t get me wrong: Fox •should• be destroyed and not a moment too soon. But I think people are making a much bigger deal about this than it actually is in terms of consequences for Fox. The greater consequence, in my humble estimation, is that a hugely popular, well-established TV network blatantly lied for ratings while showing a huge disregard for what the propagation of those lies would mean in terms of further polarizing a deeply divided nation, but isn’t losing their license and being shut down.

The GOPee Is For The Children

On Tuesday, former White House propagandist and current governor of Arkansas, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, signed into law the Youth Hiring Act of 2023. Under this new law children younger than 16 do not need permission from the Division of Labor to get a job or an employment certificate, which verified their age, described their work and work schedule, and included written consent from a parent or guardian. This is what the party that beats its chest about protecting children is up to. Yup. 

Mind you, this bill was signed into law on the heels of the Department of Labor reporting widespread employment of children in at least eight states doing hazardous work involving caustic chemicals; and in Arkansas proper—as well as Texas—Chili’s restaurant has allegedly subjected teenage females to sexual harassment. (The Equal Employment Opportunities Commission is suing.) Perfect timing, Guv. 

But let’s not put all the onus of evil on Huckabee Sanders and her ilk. No, there has to be a plurality of voters siding with them to be able to reach office and put laws like this one into effect. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again and I’ll probably keep saying it for a very long time: the GOPee are immoral hacks, but the people who vote for them and enable this sort of thing are the true demons.

Republicans and the Trans Community: Just Spreading The Hate

Why the big focus on the trans community? All this effort to hurt people who have done NOTHING to you, not to mention the hypocrisy of the “small government” faction involving the government in every aspect of people’s personal lives and their bodies. (Btw, when is Caitlyn Jenner gonna call out the anti-trans mob? Oh, that’s right: she’s a Republican, too, so I guess they get a pass.) 

What the fuck is wrong with these PoS?!
