Tommy Tuberville says that if your kids have ADHD, you should just beat them until they’re neurotypical, which I suppose is a sound idea if your goal is for your kid to grow up to be a serial killer. > **[Senate Finance Committee (@senatefinance.bsky.social)](https://bsky.app/profile/senatefinance.bsky.social/post/3lh2czvomtk2d)** > > Senator Tommy Tuberville: We have an attention deficit problem in this country. Attention deficit — when you or I were growing up — our parents didn’t use a drug they used a belt. ---

I believe Faux News and Sports are sufficiently adjacent to the Trumpist party. So with that out of the way: IN NO SURPRISE, FOX EXECUTIVE SUED FOR SEX HARASSMENT. “For the second time in less than a month, [Fox Sports and one of its executives have been sued](https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/2025/01/06/skip-bayless-joy-taylor-fox-sports-lawsuit-alleges-harassment-noushin-faraji/77483500007/) for sexual misconduct, with former host Julie St"ewart-Binks saying executive vice president of content Charlie Dixon sexually assaulted her in 2016.” It’s like tryouts for the current clusterfuck administration. > **[Former host Julie Stewart-Binks sues Fox, says executive sexually assaulted her](https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/media/2025/01/31/julie-stewart-binks-sues-fox-executive-sexual-assault-her/78086629007/)** > > Ex-Fox Sports anchor and reporter Julie Stewart-Binks has filed a lawsuit, alleging executive Charlie Dixon sexually assaulted her in 2016. In a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Stewart-Binks says that Dixon forcibly kissed her after pushing her against a wall in January 2016. ---

Peter Doocy actually asks a good question at the WH Press Conference - why should the American people feel safe flying if Trump says it’s unsafe because of women and colored folk and dwarves? > **[Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com)](https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3lh2makkpdm2b)** > > PETER DOOCY: Given DEI hires, it's not safe to fly commercially, is it? > > LEAVITT: The president believes it is still indeed safe.

> [@Smapti](#): > > Tommy Tuberville says that if your kids have ADHD, you should just beat them until they’re neurotypical, which I suppose is a sound idea if your goal is for your kid to grow up to be a serial killer. That’s because Tuberville thinks “attention deficit” is just a euphamism for unfocused and undisciplined. They’re just lazy. “Give them a good smack - that’ll get their attention.” ---

> [@Irishman](#): > > That’s because Tuberville thinks You’re giving him too much credit. Tuberville’s only qualification for Senate was as a mediocre college football coach who somehow won a few games against Alabama at the right time. Which, of course, the fine (sic) folk of Alabama equate with godhood, thereby sticking the rest of us with his poor facsimile of human intelligence. ---

> [@Irishman](#): > > “Give them a good smack - that’ll get their attention.” Reminds me of a cartoon I saw in a psychology text. A little girl is crying and the father is spanking her brother over his knee. _This will teach you to hit your sister!_ ---

[How’s this for a stupid republican idea?](https://www.aol.com/lets-carving-congresswoman-introduces-bill-140111946.html) (The link goes to AOL.) > Rep. [Anna Paulina Luna](https://www.yahoo.com/news/watch-u-rep-anna-paulina-005635081.html), R-Fla., has introduced a bill proposing to carve President [Donald Trump](https://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/donald-trump/) into [Mount Rushmore](https://www.nps.gov/moru/). > > The South Dakota national memorial shows the faces of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln.
