> [@silenus](#): > > Oklahoma QOP chair calls for Fauci’s execution. Can we call for his execution? Seriously, though, what happened top the repubs? Saying that is blatantly anti-constitutional, anti-law and order, and, if a democrat said it, would be Fox news fodder for a year. When did they get this way, and why don’t people see it? Maybe they do, which is why GA has two Democrat senators and we have Biden. But maybe the question admits no answer? ---

I try to see a silver lining in their activities, however Republicans seem determined to keep up a constant gray drizzle of bullshit. > **[Ohio health departments could soon be required to promote ivermectin to treat...](https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2022/04/28/ohio-doctors-could-soon-be-required-to-promote-ivermectin-to-treat-covid-19/)** > > A new bill proposed by House Republicans would require boards of health to "promote and increase distribution" of drugs, such as ivermectin, to combat COVID-19. Health professionals who don’t do this would be penalized. In essence, this is Lysenkoism - foisting a false narrative on health professionals because it suits your ideology. It pains me to say this, but the Republican Party is the party of anti-science. ---

The only way that victim is going to “have an opportunity to help the child be a productive human being” is if 1. the Democratic Party regains/maintains control of a. state legislatures b. state executive offices and because of that 1. abusive and discriminatory social assistance programs are replaced by those which work and are based on fact, not myth, So 1. the resulting child will be able to grow up a. not in poverty b. not demonized by the Republicans. But, hey, it’s easier for the Republicans just to ban abortion, so that’s what they’re doing now and will continue to do. Of course, they’ll also see that “unwanted pregnancies”, no matter how ensued, will not be a bar to “their women” getting a competent professional doctor to perform a safe abortion. ---

I’m a left leaning moderate. Through circumstance and family inheritance I have two shotguns, four rifles, a revolver and a pistol. I was an avid target shooter. I’m not so much any more. I thought that I should get rid of these guns. Seeing the absolute lunacy of the Republicans and MAGA morons, I’m going to keep them. I hate to say that. But that’s where we are now. ---
