NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 2)

Oh, such a rookie mistake, surely he knows the accepted chant is. “Lock Her UP!”

Good op-ed in Commentary by Thom Hartmann, reprinted at Raw Story:

[Detailed catalogue of hatreds, bigotries, and white supremacies follow here . . .]

Many liberals are not so confident about this, though.

Matt Gaetz going full misogynist:
“How many of the women rallying against overturning Roe are over-educated, under-loved millennials who sadly return from protests to a lonely microwave dinner with their cats, and no bumble matches?”

Matt Gaetz can immure himself in some obscure corner of Florida from whence he will never, ever emerge again, and neither will his words or his horrible attitude.

Well, I will say this.

As a long-widowed under-loved Boomer who returns from rallying against various egregious things, I return home for a non-lonely dinner with no cats, no bumble matches (whatever those are) – but with profound gratitude that I will not find an excrescence waiting at home for me like Matt Gaetz.

As opposed to what, driving underage teenagers across state lines to sleep with them like Gaetz does?

Dating app, IIRC.

See? You could tell I was a Boomer without even looking! :wink:

Thanks. :slight_smile:

Some of the replies to that shit tweet are great.

Says the guy who has to Venmo to get laid.

They cruise Bumble for matches, you cruise high schools

They come out when you turn off the lights. Fast little buggers.

Don’t turn off the lights.

The mystery solved (for wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey values of “solved”):

Newsmax host Grant Stinchfield suggested on tuesday – without evidence or reasoning – that future Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson may be responsible for the leak of a draft ruling decriminalizing abortion rights.

There’s a huge problem with this theory: Jackson isn’t on the Supreme Court yet…

The article rightly points out that the other liberal members of the Court, who are white, weren’t accused.

What’s that you said?

I know that Sonia Sotomayor is considered white by some demographic surveys, but Republicans sure don’t consider herself that, so I’m surprised she apparently wasn’t heavily accused.

You can stop being surprised now: Anti-abortion zealots target Sotomayor aide as source of leak: Their threats are no joke | Salon.com (Okay, technically her aide and not her herself, but…)

This only makes me think republicans did it. Whenever we see republicans accuse others for something it is almost always them who are engaging in whatever act it is they are accusing others of. They are very much like children.

There is also an opinion kicking around in the media, speculating that a die-hard conservative staffer leaked it. The logic is something like this: The opinion was supposed to be still a secret, circulating internally among the justices for further debate and perhaps modification. There is some chance that a more moderate Repub on the court (read: Roberts) could get them to water it down a bit before they release it.

By leaking this hard-nosed hard-right opinion now in its current form, it put any of the conservative justices in a very awkward position if they want to amend the decision to water it down before they release it. The thinking is, by leaking it now, it works towards getting it cast in stone just as it currently stands.

See the section of this article on the idea that a conservative staffer may have leaked it:

And Matt Gaetz wishes them all to know that he is available to help these sad ladies find the love that they so desperately seek.
