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:
Sure - just some worthless former Navarro aide, but putting that peurile shit out there…
On Thursday, 195 House Republicans voted against the Right to Contraception Act (HR 8373), a bill that would create a legal right to obtain and use all Food and Drug Administration-approved forms 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 and 205 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.
A state audit in 2020 found that as much as $94 million in federal funds may have been misspent in Mississippi. Instead of going to poor families, the audit found, much of the money ended up in the pockets of prominent Mississippians, including Mr. [Brett] Favre, a Mississippi native, who was paid $1.1 million for speaking engagements he did not attend.
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.
And that’s why calling out bullshit is important. I always knew “It’s all rigged!” would be the death knell of democracy. If it’s all rigged, you’re justified in doing whatever you want, since it’s all a con anyways.
Safe to say these white assholes are most likely Trumpists…
Heh - talk about the mask coming off.
What an unforgivable deriliction of the most basic levels of duty; hopefully their replacements won’t be racist scumbags?
Again - cruddy selection of sources at the time of typing; no idea why a more mainstream source wouldn’t pick this up.
Before reading the article, I wondered if the feds would investigate the Republican Governors Association under RICO statutes. Unfortunately, after reading the article, it looks like it was more like Utah’s governor saying to a few of his friends “Use these guys - you won’t regret it.”
At issue are Gilead Sciences Inc.’s Truvada and Descovy, forms of pre-exposure prophylaxis commonly known as PrEP that are taken daily by hundreds of thousands of Americans, particularly men who have sex with men. The drugs were added last year to a list of preventive services like cancer screenings and polio vaccinations that most health insurance plans are required to cover at no cost under a provision of the federal Affordable Care Act.
Jonathan Mitchell, the Republican former solicitor general of Texas known for his efforts to restrict abortion access in the state, argues the mandatory PrEP coverage forces Christians to subsidize “homosexual behavior” in violation of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, a statute cited in other health care fights over abortion, contraception and treatments for transgender people.
