Like gay, and to some extent, Black republicans.
You do know, they want you dead, right? There aren’t any “he’s one of the good ones” exceptions, in the GQP final solution.
Ask any abortion clinic staffer about the women who demonstrate outside against them, sneak in for their own abortion, then go back on the screaming picket lines.
They were starting to do some both-sides-ing in a FB group I’m in, so I wrote: " Biden is just as corrupt as trump. In other news, Pauly Shore is as gifted a comic as the late George Carlin."
The stuff Carlin has put out since he died is funnier than Pauly Shore.
True. Neither one has told a funny joke in years.
I’m hearing a twist on the old joke about Baptists, Methodists, and liquor stores:
“What’s the difference between Republican women and Democratic women? The latter acknowledge each other in the abortion clinic.”
The one I remember is “Democrat boys date Democrat girls. So do Republican boys. They intend to marry a Republican girl but want to have some fun first.”
The liquor store (a.k.a. “Package Store,” a.k.a. “ABC Store”) in my hometown was located in what appeared to have been the administrative offices of an old factory. For some reason, an extremely tall brick wall extended from one corner of the building to the end of the parking area, effectively blocking it from view. This structure was referred to as “The Baptist Wall” (particularly fitting since it was quite popular with students at the Baptist-affiliated college in the town 15 minutes up the road).
Oklahoma sheriff and other county leaders were caught on tape saying the quiet part out loud.
When the talk turned to who might run for sheriff against Clardy, Jenning recalled how a former sheriff “would take a damned Black guy and whoop their ass and throw them in the cell.”
“Yeah,” Clardy replied, according to the newspaper. “It’s not like that no more.”
“I know,” said Jennings. “Take them down to Mud Creek and hang them up with a damned rope. But you can’t do that anymore. They’ve got more rights than we’ve got.”
Aw, you poor Republican officials, caught on tape talking about murdering reporters and Black people, and the real crime is how the tapes were made. Republicans are so oppressed! It’s so unfair!
Relatively small potatoes but still.
Okay, its getting really strange now.
Already rarely enforced - one wonders when it has been enforced.
Sounds more like you’re just reaching the 20th.
One excruciatingly out-dated definition of good morals, predicated on the idea that sex is bad and women shouldn’t have any except to procreate.
Maybe that argument meant something in 1931, but it’s ridiculous in 2023. For starters, cohabitating just means more adult role-models and caretakers. With child support, financial provision for children is separated from the requirement that the parents stay in a relationship. In fact, breaking up bad marriages is arguably healthier for children than leaving them in disfunctional ones.
Even more so, though, is that that justification assumes the only reason to get married is to have children, and that any married couple that doesn’t have children is faulty.
Oh, so it’s not about what’s best for children, i.e. parents who contribute to the upkeep of their children getting a tax break.
But wait, if I’m a single parent living with my parents, they can claim my kid as a dependent, but they aren’t married to me.
And we wouldn’t want that, a tax benefit for unmarried parents who are raising their child together and living in the same household because they happen not to care for marriage per se. Our whatever reason they aren’t married, just cohabitating and raising children together.
What if I have a roommate to share expenses?
What’s appalling about this is not that they said it, and not that they were caught saying it. The appalling part is that, notwithstanding the protests and the apparent disgust of the governor, probably a significant part of the population feels the same way.
You could insert the transcript right into the script of Mississippi Burning and it wouldn’t be out of place.
Such as the radical position that you shouldn’t lynch people?
Yeah, we’ve all seen that channel.
If you have opposite sex roommates, inevitably, they will have sex.

After my parents kicked me out, I got an apartment with a female friend of mine. My parents were livid about this, insisting that I was living in sin, that I shouldn’t live with a girl that I wasn’t married to.
They didn’t seem to understand that, “My house, my rules” ends when I’m not living in their house anymore.
Yeah, but “Your house, my rules” isn’t as catchy.
Or worse, if you have a same-sex roommate you might – you might… Oh gawd! I broke this string of pearls. Where’s my fainting couch?
What if they are both gay?
That in itself isn’t usually an acceptable reason to claim someone else’s kid as your dependent.
Parents may have raised promiscuous children, but they aren’t gay!
