While this could have in the Omnibus Stupid Mofo thread or the Stupid Repub Idea of Day one, I’m just getting so sick and tired of how the GQP is increasingly retreating into a shpere of unhinged anti-democratic bat-shittery, like: > **['Total Hoes and Thots': Ex-Trump Aide Rails Against Jan. 6 Committee in...](https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/jan-6-committee-trump-aide-rant-garrett-ziegler-1386093/)** > > “They’re Bolsheviks, so, they probably do hate the American founders and most white people in general,” Garrett Ziegler, a former aide to embattled Trump adviser Peter Navarro say… Sure - just some worthless former Navarro aide, but putting that peurile shit out there… Toxic fucking toddlers. ---

> **[Nearly 200 House Republicans Just Voted Against the Right to Birth Control](https://jezebel.com/nearly-200-house-republicans-just-voted-against-the-rig-1849315509)** > > It sure seems like the official GOP position is to ban abortion while doing nothing to ensure that people can effectively prevent pregnancy. On Thursday, 195 House Republicans voted against the Right to Contraception Act ([HR 8373](https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/8373)), a [bill](https://rules.house.gov/sites/democrats.rules.house.gov/files/BILLS-117HR8373IH.pdf) that would create a legal right to obtain and use all Food and Drug Administration-approved [forms](https://www.fda.gov/media/150299/download) of contraception. (That includes the birth control pill, patch, and ring, plus intrauterine devices, emergency contraceptives like the morning-after pill, and tubal ligation.) HR 8373 also establishes a right for health care providers to provide said contraception to their patients." Six of the eight RepubliQuans to vote for it are either pariahs or retiring. last week, the House voted on two abortion-related bills, the Women’s Health Protection Act (a bill to codify _Roe_ ) and the Ensuring Access to Abortion Act (a bill to protect traveling abortion-seekers), which garnered [209](https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2022360) and [205](https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2022362) Republican no votes, respectively. A bill to protect motherfucking BIRTH CONTROL got almost as many Republican “nays” as those bills." Forced birth, keep 'em home barefoot and pregnant even if you have to rape them [GQP’s always been in favor of spousal rape]. No birth control, crap health care, hate hate hate hate. Not all RepubliQuans are evil, looks to be only around 95% of elected ones. ---

I really, really, really, really try to avoid the “judging a book by its covers” thing, but, man - buddy, with his camo shirt and that absolutely bastardish-looking face that screams “do you know what _Backpfeifengesicht_ means?” (along with her reported infidelity) convinces me he most likely killed her and then dismembered and disposed of her in some sort of methodical, Soldier of Fortune\*-y way, to make sure she’ll never be found. \*Not that I’m trying to suggest that that publication would have espoused such shenanigans in any way, shape or form. ---
