Plus, the fix to that imaginary problem is to have transmen in their full masculine presentation using the women’s restroom. I realize that the bigots claim that is what they want, but we know that they would be panic dialing 911 if it really happened.

I posted about this in the “U-haul full of morons” thread, but it should go here as well. Noted far-right imbecile, Matt Shea, attended a local Pride event over the weekend, but he was there to lead a “prayer walk” to condemn the gayness. A U-haul full of a couple dozen tacticool wearing idiots was busted by the cops. Matt Shea claims they were antifa there to ambush his prayer walk group. Turns out, one of the “antifa” attends the very church that Matt Shea leads.

So Matt, turns out the call was coming from inside your house. Care to explain this?

I do wonder what the U-Haul moron brigade is now thinking about everyone calling them Antifa False Flag Crisis Actor FBI Plants.

“Hey! Only WE are allowed to call people that. UNFAIR!”

I wonder if any of these fuckwits can comprehend that if folks are lying about them being “antifa”, then all the other times stuff was blamed on antifa… were lies too.

They probably figure the people who are lying bout _them_ being Antifa _are themselves Antifa_, so that’s okay.

Once you start assuming that everyone who makes you look bad is secretly the opposition trying to make you look bad, there’s really no limit to it.

[sarcasm] This proves how great a man Dr. Oz is. He’s willing to kick out all of the immigrants, knowing that it would hurt the bottom line of the company he owns. It also shows what a great businessman he is - he saved the company hundreds of millions of dollars in wages, but only had to pay $95 million in fines! [/ sarcasm]

Doug LaMalfa is saying that the 1/6 commission is just a distraction from the massive caravan coming to the border, Funny how they’re using this alleged caravan to distract from the need for gun control legislation.
