Lara Trump Suggests RNC Won’t Back Larry Hogan’s MD Senate Bid: He Doesn’t Deserve The Respect Of Anyone

Lara Trump Suggests RNC Won’t Back Larry Hogan’s MD Senate Bid: He Doesn’t Deserve The Respect Of Anyone

There is no republican party anymore.  It is gone and needs to be placed in the history books of the past.  It is the cult of tRump party, or tRump party for short.  Or maybe Cult party.  But the tRump party is out to destroy anyone or anything that doesn’t clearly glorify and help the dear leader of the cult who is tRump.  Republicans have told the family members with trans kids they don’t believe the laws they are voting for … but if they don’t they will be primaried and lose their seat, so lose the easy money.  The former republicans are all fearful of the new party, the cult of tRump.  The choose the easy money of being in office rather than their dignity or honor or even doing the correct thing for the country and the people.  Hugs.  Scottie

June 2, 2024 Politics, Republicans

 

Politico reports:

Lara Trump, the Republican National Committee co-chair and daughter-in-law of former President Donald Trump, dodged answering whether the RNC will support Maryland Republican Larry Hogan’s run for Senate after Hogan called for Americans to respect the verdict.

“I don’t support what he just said there. I think it’s ridiculous,” Lara Trump said when asked by CNN’s Kasie Hunt if the RNC will support Hogan on “State of the Union” Sunday morning.

“I think anybody who’s not speaking up in the face of really something that should never again have seen the light of day, a trial that would never have been brought against any other person aside from Donald Trump, doesn’t deserve the respect of anyone,” Lara Trump added.

Read the full article. Maryland’s Senate seat could turn out to be the deciding factor in whether Democrats maintain control of the chamber.

Over the last few days I have been busy trying to read news and set up new browsers. Here are some links to Joe My God stories that stood out for their pushing Christian hate on everyone. Plus some other hates from the tRump cult.

Christian Lifeguard Sues Over Pride Flags At Gay Beach
Little claims he’s been targeted for harassment and retaliation over his lawsuit. He’s being represented by the anti-LGBTQ hate group, the Thomas More Society, who claims that Little has a First Amendment right not to have the flag within his sight.

Per reports, Little’s salary is more than $200,000. In 2021, a Long Beach lifeguard tower decked out for Pride was destroyed in arson, much to the delight of commenters on the YouTube clip below.
Catholic Men’s Group To Protest Small LA Town’s First Pride Event: We Will Respond Appropriately To Threats
Last year the group’s founder claimed to The Federalist that his foie gras business was boycotted by local restaurants after he posted an anti-LGBTQ screed on Instagram, putting his family in a “dire financial situation.” In the clip below, he talks about that supposed betrayal and rants about “sexual degeneracy.”

Cultists Rage After Walmart Unveils Pride Month Merch
Cultists are also raging in the comments of Walmart’s Instagram post. Sample reply: “Walmart and Pride whatever it is, I hate all this because you glorify everything in this world except what God has created to be from the beginning, which is a family, man married to a woman and their children!! Why don’t you give a true family unit a special month??? This evil agenda to shove all that’s unnatural down our throat will be your downfall one day!! God will not be mocked!! Yes, everyone has a right to choose how you live but why does it have to be glorified for a month??? Just wrong!!!”


Hate Group: We Made Pride Month “Toxic” For Brands
If the goal was to make “Pride” toxic for brands, as conservative Matt Walsh urged, then mission accomplished. Now, thanks to Bud Light and so many other casualties of excessive Pride, Americans have started to realize how much power they have to change the corporate landscape.








And now for the tRump cult out cries about that guilty verdict. 

I love how every accusation they make about Biden and the democrats / left turns out to be a confession by the republicans.  For example they claim that Biden has weaponized the Department Of Justice and is controlling the AG Merrick Garland.  But the republicans and trump have been calling for the locking up of his pollical opponent since his first run in 2016.  He and his supporters have long called for locking up Biden.  These people don’t want to run a country, they want to rule the country and everyone in it.  They want to raid the treasury and hammer anyone who tries to stop them.  Simply put they wrongly claim no one has ever been charged with this same crime, but it has been charged over 9,000 times.  But they are now a cult and if the dear leader says it it must be so, reality be damned.   Hugs.  Scottie

Fox Lies Spawn New Death Threats Against Judge
Bolling: Trump’s Judge “Should Be Tried For Treason”

The Washington Post has a fact check:

Trump called it ridiculous, unconstitutional and un-American “that the highly Conflicted, Radical Left Judge is not requiring a unanimous decision on the fake charges against me.” At first glance, it might appear that the former president doesn’t understand one of the basic tenets of the legal system: that guilty verdicts in criminal cases have to be unanimous.

The jury must be unanimous when it comes to determining whether Trump is guilty or not guilty of each specific falsifying business records count, and whether he did so in an effort to unlawfully impact an election, New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan said.

He added, however, that the panel did not have to be unanimous about which of those three types of crimes could serve as the underlying violation that brings the state election charge into play. In Trump’s case, prosecutors have offered three types of crimes that would make the state election-meddling charge come into play: federal election law crimes, tax crimes or false business records.

 
Trump Spox Vows “Revenge” On His Critics [VIDEO]
Leavitt went on to claim that President Joe Biden has targeted “innocent” Americans such as the Jan. 6 rioters charged for their roles in the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol. “They’ve thrown [them] in the gulag in Washington, D.C.,” said Leavitt, who added that Trump said he’d pardon the rioters on “day one” of a second term.

Florida Educators Train To Teach Christian Nationalism

Florida Educators Train To Teach Christian Nationalism

And more on the attempt to force Christianity on everyone else kids in public schools regardless of the parent’s religion, here is the attempt to teach that the US is and should be a Christian nation whose laws, morals, and rules should be based only on the Christian bible I present this.  Yes in Florida where the legislature passed letting Christian religious leaders be untrained school counselors but DeathSantis the governor claimed that no other religion especially the Satanic Temple.  Of course the law can’t be used that way but the die hard rabid fundamentalist Christian are desperate to push their religion and only theirs on the public.  Side issue, it is hilarious how the fundamentalist Christians freak out over the name not realizing the religion is a science based social civil rights based faith, not one that worships their devil.  Although with the way they are anti-science and ant-civil rights for anyone not white, straight, and cis maybe they should freak out.    Hugs.  Scottie

May 28, 2024 Christianists, Republicans

 

Popular Information reports:

Training materials produced by the Florida Department of Education direct middle and high school teachers to indoctrinate students in the tenets of Christian nationalism, a right-wing effort to merge Christian and American identities. Thousands of Florida teachers, lured by cash stipends, have attended trainings featuring these materials.

According to speaker notes accompanying one slide, teachers were told that “Christianity challenged the notion that religion should be subservient to the goals of the state,” and the same hierarchy is reflected in America’s founding documents. That slide quotes the Bible to assert that “[c]ivil government must be respected, but the state is not God.” Teachers were told the same principle is embedded in the Declaration of Independence.

The next slide in the deck quotes an article by Peter Lillback, the president of Westminster Theological Seminary and the founder of The Providence Forum, an organization that promotes and defends Christian nationalism. The group’s executive director, Jerry Newcombe, writes a weekly column for World Net Daily — a far-right site known for publishing hundreds of stories falsely suggesting Obama was a Muslim born in Africa.

Read the full article. There’s much more.

The Christian nationalist materials were obtained through a Freedom Of Information Act demand.

As the piece notes, Peter Lillback is a signatory to the infamous Manhattan Declaration, which calls on Christians to commit “civil disobedience” against LGBTQ rights.

Conversation with ChatGPT (for context)

You’re referring to the Treaty of Tripoli, specifically Article 11 of the treaty. This treaty was signed in 1796 between the United States and the Bey and Subjects of Tripoli of Barbary. The article states: “As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen; and as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.”

This statement was part of the efforts to communicate that the U.S. government’s secular nature would not lead to conflicts based on religious differences, particularly with Muslim nations at the time. It was ratified unanimously by the U.S. Senate in 1797 and signed by President John Adams. Quite the historical mic drop, wasn’t it?

George Washington: “If I could conceive that the general government might ever be so administered as to render the liberty of conscience insecure, I beg you will be persuaded, that no one would be more zealous than myself to establish effectual barriers against the horrors of spiritual tyranny, and every species of religious persecution.” (Letter to the United Baptist Chamber of Virginia, May 1789)

Can’t they not understand that the Cold War is over and that other supposed Communist countries like China and Vietnam have all but abandoned much of Marxism ideologies they once embraced during the Late 1940’s and 1950s’?

NOPE: Trump Claims 25,000 Attended Bronx Rally

NOPE: Trump Claims 25,000 Attended Bronx Rally

At first I thought it was his fragile ego preventing him from admitting how low his crowd but then someone pointed out that one of the taking points of why tRump had to have won the 2020 election was he had much bigger crowds than Biden.   Yes these people think crowd sizes at rallies means you win the most votes.  They are setting the stage to do violence and try to take over the government when tRump loses the 2024 election.   Hugs.  Scottie  

 

May 24, 2024 Trump Corruption, Trump Lies

 

Mediaite reports:

Former President Donald Trump repeatedly boasted about the crowd size attending Thursday’s political rally in the Bronx, as his custom. However, a local New York evening news report from ABC7’s Jim Dolan revealed a different story about how many people attended and who actually made up the crowd. B-roll of the event shown to viewers during Dolan’s report painted a remarkably different picture than what Trump boasted about regarding crowd size.

So, my feeling is that what this is about, besides soothing Trump’s ego, is to build the narrative that there is significant support for Trump in the area. Then, when he loses the election, it fuels the “stolen” story. “How could he have only gotten 3000 votes in the Bronx? 25000 showed up for his rally!!”

This kind of nonsense seems petty, but it’s not. Push back at it.

Board For NC Universities Repeals Diversity Policies

Board For NC Universities Repeals Diversity Policies

Racism like bigotry is surging in the south right now.  All in backlash to a black man being elected president.  The racist went crazy.  All backed by big money wealthy racists.  The university president said that public universities should stay neutral on social controversies that is why they are doing it.  Wrong.  Racism is not or at least shouldn’t be a controversy, a difference of view points.   It is wrong.   I say again for those needing clarification.  Racism is wrong.  Period.  It needs to die off like slavery and the old Jim Crow laws, that sadly are making a comeback.  Diversity, equality, and inclusion programs are very much needed, as are LGBTQ+ centers at schools along with gay straight student groups.  These all help bring in more of the people who historically have been disadvantaged.   Understand what they do.  It is not quotas.  It is making available places, education, jobs that were traditionally once denied to those groups.  The fact that sometimes it means white straight cis people don’t get everything they want to or get that position that they think they are owed then too bad, you have lots more opportunities.  It is crazy entitlement.  The idea that every straight cis white person automatically is better and deserves opportunities before someone not white straight cis is just horrible.  Yet that is what is sweeping red states.  Republicans pushing the idea that somehow opening a door for those that had then closed, somehow hurts the white straight cis people.  The republicans like fundamentalist Christians love to play the victim, they love to be aggrieved.  The republicans look at everything as a limited pie where something for one person means less for them.  That is not the way it is, equality and inclusion benefits everyone.  Hugs.   Scottie

May 23, 2024 Education, Politics

 

The Associated Press reports:

North Carolina’s public university system board voted Thursday to repeal a nearly five-year-old diversity, equity and inclusion policy, meaning its 17 schools will likely join other major universities in cutting diversity programs and jobs.

The 24-member University of North Carolina Board of Governors approved its agenda, which included the diversity policy repeal, with two members voting against the repeal. Campus changes are expected to take place at the start of the next school year.

UNC System President Peter Hans [photo] said in his meeting remarks that students and faculty should be allowed to confront “competing ideas” but the role of public universities is to remain neutral on “political controversies.”

What these states are fighting for is the right to discriminate and target kids for abuse, which in their minds somehow pushes the fundamentalist Christian superior morals.  They really believe that these laws denying kids the right to live as their authentic self without being harassed and targeted makes their god happy.  I got news for them, I doubt it makes their god happy but I know it makes them happy.  Their god seems to hate those they hate and love the things they like.  Weird how that works.   These same states removed child labor protections and school food assistance programs.   Makes kids more willing to sacrifice school for work if they are hungry and harassed.  Hugs.  Scottie

Scott Accuses Biden Of Enabling Fentanyl Smuggling After Voting Against Two Anti-Fentanyl Smuggling Bills

Latest Trump Lie: I Never Said That I’d Never Go Back To Minnesota If I Lost To Biden There, Which I Didn’t

Read the full article. In an interview today with a Minnesota station, Trump denied having said he’d never go back. And then he denied that Biden won Minnesota in 2020. Watch the LOL clip.

 

Yes. He was appropriately roped off by police/crime scene tape.

I posted about this situation the other day.  We have an ideology driven supreme court who wants to make rules based on their religious convictions rather than law.  They have an extreme religious faith and demand the right to make the rest of the country that way.

Dem Rep Catalogs All The Times Trump Slept In Court

Some more old things I need to clear out.

For those that don’t think this is important, I worked with some Catholic doctors that were so religious high rollers that they condemn and refused to treat those they felt broke god’s laws or their church rules.  Specifically the LGBTQ+.  I have repeated told of an ICU doctor who was assigned a very sick and dying openly gay man in a same sex relationship.  This was just before same sex marriage was legal country wide and before it was legal in Florida.  The patient’s lover / boyfriend had complete power of attorney over all the patient’s medical, financial, and other life decisions, something all of us gay people in same sex relationships did so our partners could make our hospital decisions when we couldn’t.   This doctor refused to listen or include the patient’s gay partner disregarding their relationship.  He went so far as to call the patient’s estranged family members to try to get them to overrule the wishes of the partner.  The patient’s partner got a lawyer and legal told the doctor he had to include the partner and treat him as the next of kin legally.  The doctor walked on the floor, took the chart and signed himself off the case.  Then loudly told all of us he was not the doctor of record for the patient and he wouldn’t treat him, so do not call him or his people for any reason for that patient.  That left us and the hospital scrambling.  The ICU intensives all worked for the same practice started by that doctor, so they had to find some doctor qualified to step in to be the patient’s doctor because the ICU requires a doctor to be qualified on respirators such as a pulmonologist.   Yes they can have other doctors treat them in the ICU but in our ICU’s because of the possibility the patients would have to be intubated in case of a code the ICU and all patients had to be managed by the intensivist / pulmonologist.  He was always a self righteous prick, he and his top doctors always bragging about their connections to the Catholic hierarchy locally and the time they spent at the Vatican.  This holy super Christian was willing to let a man die rather than acknowledge his male partner and same sex relationship.   Hugs.  Scottie

“So I always keep this fake Hollywood money in my car so when a homeless person asks for money, then I give him like a fake $5 bill, so I feel good about myself, they feel good. And then, when they go to use it, they get arrested so I’m actually like helping clean up the community. You know, getting them off the street.” – Former Trump aide and Project 2025 leader Johnny McEntee, in a TikTok video posted by the The Right Stuff, the MAGA dating app he founded in 2022. McEntee appeared here last week when he vowed that porn will banned during a second Trump term.

If true, he’s guilty of passing counterfeit money and he just admitted it in a recording. I can’t imagine that he won’t be investigated by the Treasury Department or whatever body handles counterfeiting.

So either he’s lying to own the libs or he’s about to get to the “find out” stage of fucking around.

I can’t believe I’m gonna say this, so please forgive me.. film money is distinctly different than counterfiet money. It’s designed to avoid being considered counterfeit (it needs to be a percentage bigger or smaller so it *can’t* be legally considered counterfiet money and the artwork is slightly different). Countefeit money is designed to pass as the real thing; Hollywood money isn’t. That’s going to be his counter argument if he gets hauled up for this, I’d stake a good penny on.

Having said that, ths is unfathomably cruel. A store clerk or a police officer probably wouldn’t know the difference, so the poor person is going to suffer. If justice is real, whether he argues he’s handing out monopoly money, the intent is to cause harm, and he should have the book thrown at him.

*edit*

I just saw Doggy Daddy’s comment below, so thankfully it makes the first half of this moot.

ECarpenter  greenmanTN18 hours ago edited

These guys really don’t understand why the rest of us find their actions horrific. It’s not that they refuse to be empathetic with other humans – they can’t, it’s not possible for them.

It’s not a decision – they’re unable to understand what we mean by the words “cruel” or “heartless”. They hear the words – but they don’t mean the same thing to them. To them, “cruel” means “something the bleeding hearts don’t like”, not “this is a horrible thing to inflict on another person”.

Which is why we need to set up a gated and locked community for them, perhaps on a big chunk of federal land in the West, where only people who have no empathy live, and they can work it all out together. Send them food, let them get incoming internet, and leave them to it

If I remember correctly, George Floyd was summarily executed by police for, allegedly, passing a fake $20 bill.

So it is only fair this idiot gets equal treatment, no?

Lock him up!
“Can you go to jail for giving someone fake money?
Even a first-time counterfeiting charge can result in a misdemeanor or felony and some jail time. Prosecutors can charge individuals with forgery if they possess or use counterfeit items with the intent to defraud another person. It can be as simple as using fake money or as complex as counterfeiting an official seal.”

New Trump Ad Praises Campus Counterprotesters

New Trump Ad Praises Campus Counterprotesters

Seriously people are proud of acting this way?  Really?  If a child acted like this the parents would discipline or correct them, yet adults think college kids and tRump supporters think the thuggish racist behavior is great.   tRump loves it.  It is his style.  Berate, ridicule, insult, demean others is what tRump thinks is intellectual reasoning and discussion.  What has this country devolved into?  I thought we grew out of this childish shit a long time ago.   Hugs.  Scottie

May 4, 2024 Racism, Republicans

 

Here’s a reminder about the scene at Ole Miss:

There were hundreds of counter-protesters, in contrast to the few dozen pro-Palestine protesters. The scene evoked memories of the resistance to the civil rights struggle in the US south six decades earlier.

The counter-protesters included individuals waving American flags and Trump flags. At one point, they sang the American national anthem, drowning out the pro-Palestine group’s chants.

There were no arrests, but the actions of the counter-protesters – who shouted “Fuck Joe Biden”, “Who’s your daddy?”, “USA”, “Hit the showers”, “Your nose is huge”, and included a white man making monkey noises at a Black woman – have been widely condemned on social media.

I would like to think that his behavior is just a bit of bad judgment he will grow out of, but I seriously doubt it. Not in Mississippi. He has so very, very few good examples to look to.

I’d say it’s majorly bad judgment, but agree with your prognosis. It’s too late to scour the racism out of him
