so MN GQP is running Royce White, the former NBA player with a long history of mental issues and legal problems, against Klobuchar for Senate. Makes Hershall Walker look sane.

Any time you see an American flag next to a name on twitter, you know it's an asshole.  It's terrible how these creeps have tarnished our flag.

Similar to Hershel Walker, the MAGA crowd doesn't also seem to care nor notice that they are exploiting a person with brain health issues by running them for office and putting them under this type of pressure and stress.

It's possible a lot of MAGA are so retrograde they don't even acknowledge the existence of mental issues.

there is actually a lot of it in the NT - they called it 'demons'.

So maybe on second thought it's better if they don't recognize it - they'd be subjecting all those poor folks to exorcisms. That wouldn't be fun, especially now that there'd be no chance of at least meeting Max Von Sydow for your trouble.

Good point.

I might even go so far as to hypothesize that there is a significant correlation between the incidences of crosses, flags, bible verses, and the words "patriot" and "Christian" in X bios, and the idea the person is a bad actor cloaking themselves in such iconography to fool people, and who knows, maybe even themselves.

I don’t know whether rubbing their noses in it is a solid tactic for change, but with the Trumpublican party as it stands right now, go for it. They deserve derision.

Remember the days when you would hear something ridiculous and say “lol yeah they’d never do something like that“.
 

Those days seem to be gone. Wouldn’t surprise me if someone decided not only to take away voting rights, but any other rights as a human being.

Heard today:  the Southern Baptists were for Roe vs Wade when it was first decided.   They were far more worried about segregation and thought abortion would help keep the numbers of the poor members of a certain ethnic group down.

When Southern Baptists Were Pro-Choice | BillMoyers.com  I always thought Bill Moyers was just to the left of V.I. Lenin so its weird for me to be quoting him.

The whole thing is based on the idea that fetuses and embryos are actually fully people like you and me, even though fetuses and embryos are not counted in the census, there's no funeral after a miscarriage, and people say "we have two children and one on the way" instead of saying "we have three children."

Now, why they consider fetuses and embryos to be fully people depends on the axe they have to grind. If you're a rank and file voter, you believe god can read every thought even before it's thought, so if at any time you even contemplate that fetuses and embryos might not be people, god will get you for that. God never forgets anything you ever did or thought, so you better stay on the right side of everything all the time and never slip even once, because otherwise Jesus will question whether you are truly saved and you may still end up going to hell hell hell. If you're a legislator in certain states or districts, you're basically trolling for votes from rank and file voter. There is some intersect between the two.

How much time and $$$ did House Trumpublicans waste on this witch hunt?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/08/19/impeachment-report-house-republicans-joe-biden-hunter/?utm_campaign=wp_main&utm_medium=social&utm_source=bluesky

Quote

House Republicans on Monday released a long-awaited report from their impeachment probe into President Joe Biden’s activities as vice president, accusing him of obstructing federal and congressional investigations and improperly leveraging his power to benefit his family.

Despite a trio of House committees finding Biden engaged in “impeachable offenses,” Republicans did not recommend further action just three months away from an election in which Biden is no longer running. And the report failed to unearth any new evidence that the president, during his time as vice president, directly acted to benefit his family’s business dealings.

The 291-page report was released by the House Oversight, Judiciary, and Ways and Means committees on the day Democrats commenced their nominating convention in Chicago.

I’d guess they’d be happy as not if no one read it.
