This Is The GOP & Why You Need To Vote Blue

Here we are again, with a wee taste of the lunacy, racism, criminality, and bigotry and hate inside the GOP and it’s going around the country …

CONGRESS

Eight Senate Republicans, head cheerleader Mike Lee of Utah, and Mean Girls J.D. Vance of Ohio, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, Eric Schmitt of Missouri, Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Rick Scot and Marco Rubio of Florida, and Roger Marshall or Kansas, are vowing to oppose major legislation and Biden nominees led by the Democratic Senate, following the guilty verdicts for Hair Furor.

These eight traitors to their jobs and to the Constitution of the United States say they will oppose any increases to non-security related funding, Biden judicial and political nominations and “expedited consideration and passage” of Democratic legislation.

Of note, it was just last year when heavy rains left thousands stranded in the mud at Burning Man that Head Cheerleader of Hair Furor Mike Lee declared it to be God’s punishment for the attendees’ supposed promiscuity. But he has no problem with a serial adulterer, sexual predator who fucks porn stars and then lies and cheats to cover it up.

THAT’S the GOP.

FLORIDA

The Florida Board of Education approved several tweaks to the state’s standards for teaching social studies but left intact controversial pieces on Black history that sparked widespread backlash last year.

Florida’s new teaching standards include the same requirement that middle school students learn “how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.”

In addition lessons surrounding the 1920 Ocoee massacre and the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre will be labeled as violence perpetrated “against and by” African Americans.

Racism in the Sunshine State will be taught in schools.

TEXAS

University of Texas at Austin professor Daniel Bonevac, and others in the state university system, claim that “pregnancy is not a disease, and [therefore] elective abortions are not ‘health care.'”

He also claims that pregnancy is the result of “voluntary and consensual sexual intercourse”—never rape or incest—and students should not be allowed time off to get abortions. And if the students disobey and miss class for abortion care the professors should be allowed to flunk students.

Look at it like this: a college professor forces a female student into a sexual relationship if she wants to pass his class but if she gets pregnant and has an abortion, the professor can flunk her.

Texas needs to abort these asshatted professors.

Also in Texas ... according to the newly-adopted Texas Republican Party platform homosexuality is an abnormal lifestyle choice and so there should be no granting of special legal entitlements or creation of special status for homosexual behavior, regardless of state of origin. The GOP also says they oppose any criminal or civil penalties against those who oppose homosexuality out of faith, conviction, or belief in traditional values.

Texas hates fags.

LOUISIANA

First-of-its-kind legislation that classifies two abortion-inducing drugs as controlled and dangerous substances was signed into law by Louisiana GOP Governor Jeff Landry. Landry, clearly a moron, boasts that the drugs can still be obtained, even though medication abortion is illegal in his state.

The measure makes Louisiana the only state to categorize mifepristone and misoprostol in this way, adding them to Schedule IV of the state’s Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Law.

The policy drew support from anti-abortion advocates and alarm from medical professionals and abortion-rights activists in a state where both medication and surgical abortion are illegal.

Louisiana hates women and doesn’t believe that have the right to control their own bodies.

COLORADO

The Colorado Republican Party is issuing a call to its members to pull their children from public school, saying Democrats are using schools to “turn more kids trans.”

Yes, Democrats have that much power.

Under the leadership of Colorado GOP Chairperson Dave Williams the state Republican Party has tacked to the hard right despite holding less electoral power than at any time since before World War II.

And since they have so little power, howsabout voting them all from office so they will have zero power?

SOUTH DAKOTA

A new South Dakota policy to stop the use of gender pronouns by public university faculty and staff in official correspondence is also keeping Native American employees from listing their tribal affiliations in a state with a long and violent history of conflict with tribes.

It came only months after Republican Governor , Liar and Dog Killer  Kristi Noem sent a letter to the regents that railed against “liberal ideologies” on college campuses and called for the board to ban drag shows on campus and “remove all references to preferred pronouns in school materials,” among other things.

All nine voting members of the board were appointed by Noem so it’s no surprise they goose-step behind her. As of now Kristi Noem has been banned from all tribal lands in her state.

Let’s follow that lead and ban her from office as soon as possible.

And that’s just a small taste of GOP lunacy ... anti-women’s rights, voter fraud, anti-transgender hate, traitors, anti-abortion rights, anti-LGBTQ+ and more.

So what do we do if we want more Good News? We ...

  2. If people who vote for these idiots don't see it, they get what they deserve. What a find funny with the GOP....up to now they had no problems with high profile cases with a republican or several being found guilty and say "this what the courts and jury are for, and we must abide by the decisions." Then why the exception to trump???? He is ALWAYS the exception. I don't get it???? They must be really stupid, because he backstabs everyone and uses them before tossing them out. And he will do it to them all eventually. Why some of them support him now after how he treats them and talked about some of them...boggles. They are so weak.

  4. Shame you haven't been offered a job as a Democrat cheerleader and social media influencer. I feel sure that with more exposure you could make a significant impact upon voting intentions.

    1. Well, to be fair, Democrats already KNOW this stuff, MAGAts will call it all lies against their "Dear Leader," so it's the Moderates and Independents who need the education.

  5. We need to get rid of as many GOP politicians at every level of government as possible. It's as simple as that, though we all know it is not a simple task.

  6. Okay, I'm Canadian, so I don't have a good understanding of the US Constitution. But are there not portions of that agreement that protect the vulnerable - or is it a free-for-all for the States to do as they please?
    We have the Charter of Rights and Freedoms that provides certain rights and privileges to ALL Canadians. While it does also have a get-out-of-jail free clause (the Notwithstanding Clause), it is only recently that our provincial governments have been using the clause to override the Charter. AND our resident, IQ45 light - a fellow by the name of Pierre Poilievre (notice the LIE), who is almost certainly going to be Prime Minister after the next election, has already stated he will use the clause whenever he feels like it. Sorry, rant over.

  8. Having a limb crushed in an accident is NOT a disease; does that mean that dealing with the after effects of the accident should not be allowed? Any academic in the UK putting forward such preposterous proposals would be out of a job PDQ.

    So, let's see how this works. A professor of philosophy and logic and ethics is so reactionary that he loves Trump's dislike for regulations that control too much of human endeavor (i.e. the EPA is trying to regulate the coal industry...how dare they!...and DEI is trying to shut done his brilliance in class!) BUT, flunking a student for missing class to get an abortion is not over-regulation of human endeavor! Does Bonevac imagine that his students will tell him why they were absent or will he be spying on them to find out? It is all academic, literally, because even a cursory glance at Bonevac on "Rate My Professor" shows that about 50% of the raters say you can pass the class without having a good attendance record. So again, Prof, how ya gonna monitor all those consensually-pregnant women getting all those abortions without your approval?! Garden-variety dickhead!!🍆

  14. The levels of hatred in US politics is astonishing. Seeing Dr Fauci attacked and vilified was just awful. Do these people not hear themselves? As for the Orange Oaf, how can anyone think he's good for anything?
    The American Election process makes our system look Lilliputian, but then UK is a much smaller country.

    Florida - as long as you're teaching history, also teach students that when Florida was part of the Spanish empire; all slaves who escaped the cruel English automatically were free when entering Florida, and became equal citizens of Spain.
