This is from a grown ass man:
"Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Thursday brushed off criticism from Disney CEO Bob Chapek over state legislation that would restrict discussions on LGBTQ topics in schools, calling the company “woke.”
Republicans and their little talking point buzzwords are pathetic.
Sometimes I think Republicans think that they’re Harry Potter and that uttering the word “Woke!” will win them the argument (and that adding “FACT” after some errant nonsense magically makes it true).
A disturbing number of people now operate on the basis of “Whatever I want to be true is true, and whatever I don’t want to be true isn’t true, and I can make them true or untrue by assertion regardless of all evidence to the contrary”. Which is rather sad.
But he is engaging in a metaphor for Congress’ usual work.
It is so transparent any more that the GOP relies on a couple of language consultants that panel test certain phrases and words, and whatever sticks they send out over their talking-point wires so that EVERYONE starts parroting them. It helps if the speaker can get a little snarl going when they say it, “Liberal”, “Socialist”, “Woke”. OOGA-BOOGA-BOO!
I kinda wish the left would own the words in order to take the wind out of their sails. “Yeah, I’m woke! What are you? Asleep?”
And Disney had to have their arm twisted about the bill anyway.
Me too. I’m trying to believe there will be a backlash, that the pendulum will swing the other way soon, but most days it’s, “Stop the world, I want to get off.”
The problem is, the idiots who support this stupidity are too stupid to understand even that. The likely reaction will be no more complicated than, “Ha-Ha, he admitted he was “woke”!”
A judge has thrown out MTG’s lawsuit against Pelosi for fining her for refusing to wear a mask.
There’s a bill before the Missouri legislature making it illegal for a woman to have an abortion if she has an ectopic pregnancy. So the choice is, have the abortion and go to jail, or don’t have the abortion and die. In either case, the fetus is not going to survive,.
Wanna bet they don’t know what “ectopic” means?
1.) It’s like Joe the Tiger King – you know, Joe Ectopic
2.) It means that she really swallowed some cephalopod eggs. She isn’t really pregnant, it’s just that she’s carrying octopi
3.) She’s pregnant by a ghost, who exuded ectoplasm into her.
So a reverse Ray Stanz.
This is fucking murder. Ectopic pregnancy removal isn’t abortion, it’s a life-saving procedure. I’ve never even seen it labeled as abortion, it’s necessary surgery to counteract a (very high risk of)acute abdomen.
Surely the doctors can rephrase this to avoid hassle? Write down they removed an appendix or something? That’s technically not even a lie. Who are these people and why are they allowed to live I wonder. Fucking murderous cretins.
They know, it’s just that some quack has managed to convince them that “reimplanting” the embryo is something that can happen with current technology.
I’m going to take a big risk here, and guess that you might be just a tiny bit uncomfortable in the US Bible Belt

I saw Cawthorn’s re election HQ when I was in downtown My Town earlier this week. I’m trying real hard not to go down there and put “TRAITOR” stickers all over the building but he’s not making it easy.
Don the Con Quixote.
To be fair, Cawthorn is certainly not a traitor to Russia; he’s been very loyal.
I understand the theory that Missouri legislators don’t know the meaning of ‘ectopic.’ But I don’t think we can rule out the possibility that they do know what it means, and gleefully anticipate the coming news of the painful deaths of dozens of Missouri women.
You know, for entertainment.
Then you should get a bunch of stickers printed up that say “Верный Русский” (faithful Russian). Get them printed on half-mil polyethylene, using really strong glue on the back – this was a trick used by places like Trees of Mystery, in which the lot workers would slap these on any non-moving car and they were nigh impossible to remove.
