The GOP Civil War is full speed ahead as Trump and Ron Desantis are already exchanging blows. Watch as Meidas Contributor Texas Paul LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY as DeSantis brutally MOCKS Loser Trump.
In his spiel Tucker spews lies and states they are true even when he says others tell you they are lies. He never mentions that these people are inciting terror and hate, instead he talks about their opinions as if it is something they are quietly keeping to themselves. He is deliberately misinforming and mischaracterizing the situation just as a KKK person burning a cross on a black family’s lawn might claim to just be spreading Christianity, not trying to strike raciest fear into the black community. See if you can spot the misdirection and slight of mouth he uses to compare apples to oranges as if they are the same thing. Hugs
So these horrifying murders in Colorado over the weekend quickly became a pretext for yet more censorship of your speech. You are responsible for this, they told you, because you said the wrong things. You are guilty of stochastic terrorism, inspiring violence by your beliefs.
Anderson Lee Aldrich committed mass murder because you complained about the sexualizing of children. Every time you object to drag time story hour for fifth graders or point out that genital mutilation is being committed on minors — which it is — every time you say that, you are putting people’s lives at risk.
Now that seems implausible and yet many are making this claim. Many have made it over the past 24 hours. Watch for example Brandy Zadrozny of NBC.
When you point out the truth, indisputably, and the truth is that some adults in this country, apparently a growing number, have a deeply unhealthy fixation on the sexuality of children — when you say that out loud, you get people killed.
That is what Brandy Zadrozny is saying. And by saying that, Brandy Zadrozny and the many people like her are effectively defending that same deeply unhealthy fixation on the sexuality of children.
By the way, it’s absolutely real. You’re not imagining that. It’s happening. The evidence is everywhere. And it comes to light on the internet. And Brandy Zadrozny and people like her hate that you are seeing that.
Notice that Zadrozny is not claiming that Libs of TikTok is making this up. She never even suggests that. She is threatening them, you should know, and she’s doing that because they’re pointing it out. Noticing it’s happening is their crime. And once again, it is happening.
Just so everyone knows I have a doctors appointment this morning I have to leave for in about 30 minutes. Have to have trigger point injects, set up MRIs on my spine and shoulder, and arrange for shots into my spine after the MRI reports. And now to a person talking about the republicans trying to ban IVF and contraception. Hugs
This kind of hate is created by those including right wing media, right wing Christian hate preachers, and republicans in office that are demonizing the LGBTQ+. By constantly shouting into the ears of their faithful / viewers that gays are molesters, groomers of children, sexually abusing your child, that the trans / gays are recruiting your child, that teachers are indoctrinating your innocent kids into sexual experimentation and orgies … all this and so much more vitriol that the right is spewing just incites this kind of stuff. Is this what you pay your elected officials for? Is this what you want your religion to be known for?
At least five people were killed and 18 injured late Saturday in a shooting at an L.G.B.T.Q. nightclub in Colorado Springs, the police said early Sunday morning.
Lt. Pamela Castro, a public information officer with the Colorado Springs Police Department, said at a news conference outside the nightclub, Club Q, that the investigation was only beginning and that the number of victims was subject to change. She added that the victims had been taken to multiple area hospitals.
After the police received an initial call about an active shooting at 11:57 p.m., Lieutenant Castro said, officers entered the club and took into custody an individual they believed to be a suspect. The suspect was also injured and was being treated at a hospital, Lieutenant Castro said.
Police officers had entered the club overnight as they responded to reports of the shooting and located “one individual believed to be the suspect inside,” Castro said.
She said the casualty toll “is subject to change as the investigation continues,” adding that ambulances and police had transported “numerous people” to hospitals. The hospitals are helping to notify families of the victims, she added.
Capt. Mike Smaldino, spokesperson for the fire department, said 34 firefighters and 11 ambulances were dispatched to the scene to help quickly move people to hospitals.
The club was reportedly planning to hold a drag brunch today to mark the Transgender Day of Remembrance.
There was a mass shooting at my job tonight. I am alive. Please pray for my community. #coloradosprings#clubq
#Breaking: Colorado Springs Police first got the call around 11:57pm for a an active shooter at Club Q. Again, they confirmed five dead and 18 injured. They are taken to local hospitals. The gunman was injured in this. Not sure if by police or civilian. pic.twitter.com/cpcIhSfWzZ
Not just conservative. It is a hotbed of evangelicals, like Ted Haggard, and is also where the evangelicals work to make sure the Air Force academy there stays rigidly Christian.
Waiting for words of condolence from DeSantis for the victims. Of course, the politicians trying to protect the children from grooming who used gays as scapegoats for their political ambition had absolutely nothing to do with this sad, sad occurrence.
They want us to live in fear. There’s no way to “ethnically cleanse” gay people from anywhere. Now another murderer is about to be purged from society. We still exist. He will get to write hateful manifestos from prison, but society will still have gay people because we will refuse to live in fear.
Gay kids will still be born, and we will be here as long as there are people, we’ll remain. He will not change that fact. We will still love each other, but no one will remember or love him.
The far-right fascist QAnonGOP and Nazi scum are doing all they can to silence and cancel lgbt Americans! Of course the motive will turn out to be homophobia and/or anger at the drag brunch due to radicalization by far-right fascist social media.
The media are partly to blame, but a lot of the media are merely reporting what the goddamned rethugs are doing with their don’t say gay tirades, grooming crap, and transphobia. It is just a game for those bigots. Part of their attempt to encourage homophobia to garner votes.
The misinformation, misdirection, and out right lies by these republican elected politicians is stunning. Nothing on what polices they want to see enacted. Nothing on their ideas for governing. But all the vitriol and hate poured into investigating everything Biden or that hurt the feelings of their cult leader. This is a real abuse of govern power. This is the very thing they like to claim is being done to them, but in truth is not. Listen to the things they want investigated, Hunter Biden who is not in government in any capacity unlike the trump kids who were. The party of law and order who scream that democrats want to defund the police are demanding investigations / defunding the FBI again because they dared to hurt the feelings of the cult leader who had national secrets of the highest order unsecured at his resort home. And their bases loves this. This is nothing more than reality TV, the scandal papers that say Hillary had bigfoots baby. What is wrong with a country that a large part of the republican party wants this? Hugs
Crowder loves to dress in drag and seems to have severe daddy issues. But here in this clip he keeps trying to push that the purpose of drag shows and puberty blockers is to pull kids away from their parents, indoctrinating them against parents rights somehow. But as Sam points out, who is taking the kids to these shows, it is the parents. Who takes the kids to the doctor, pays the doctor, agrees to the treatment of puberty blockers, it is the parents. This is not about stopping parents’ rights, unless you count the right of right wing parents to dictate to other people what the other parents’ kids can do. It is about the right of one religious or hyper conservative group of parents demanding the right to remove the right other parents to raise their children in accepting and tolerant ways. It is about the right wing demanding to indoctrinate kids into hating those not cis gender and straight. Hugs
Steven Crowder discusses the fact that this week is Trans Awareness Week, and expresses concern that the trans community is hoping to indoctrinate young children via drag shows. Crowder speculates that in about 5 years there could be a world where parents’ children will be taken from them by authorities if they don’t allow their children to go to drag shows.
ProPublica has obtained audio of a call between Tennessee State Legislators and Anti-Choice lobbyists, Will Brewer, the legal counsel for the organization Tennessee Right To Life, who urged Tennessee State legislators to “play offense” and refuse to accept any exemptions in their legislation.
Right after I shared one of the things Randy sent me, I got a frantic call from a friend in the park. He needed help sending pictures to FEMA from the computer. This is the only complaint I have with FEMA over the response to Ian, everything is over the computer and we live in an area of a lot of older people and people not computer savvy. So I have let it be know I will help those having issues I will help. I invited them over and took care of the issue. But then we visited for a while. The point is that there are a lot of people who cannot do all the things they need to take care of online. I understand their frustration because I cannot do business over the phone. I can hardly book appointments and other simple things. I am just getting to the point at 59 years old I can talk to friends on the phone. I have explained the reason before. When I was a kid the phone was off limits to me. While the hell spawn could have phones in their rooms and would race to answer the wall phone, I was forbidden to touch it. One time when it rang, I simply lifted the receiver and handed it to someone else, I got reminded physically and verbally that I did not touch the phone. Painfully reminded, the bruises stayed with me for a while to remind me, I did not touch the home phones. Anyway enjoy the posts. Hugs

Barack Obama Shows What Fox News Destroyed In American Politics
The conservative network started the trend and it’s been turbocharged by social media, the former president told “The Daily Show” host Trevo
HUFFPOST
Barack Obama reflected Thursday on what he could do when running for the U.S. Senate in Illinois in the early 2000s that he most likely couldn’t do now — because of Fox News and social media.
In an interview with “The Daily Show,” the former president recalled campaigning in rural, mainly conservative areas and still connecting with voters on a personal level, even though they were skeptical of his progressive ideas.
“There wasn’t the filter that has been created by Fox News or the media infrastructure, the right-wing conspiracy theory folks, and so they came at me with an open mind,” he told host Trevor Noah.
“I could listen to them and they could listen to me and at the end of the day, they might say, ‘Well he’s a little liberal for our taste, but we have something in common,’ ― like the love they have for their children,” Obama continued. “There was some sense of connection.”
“I think the filter now has become so thick,” he said. “It started with Fox News and some of the other traditional media, and now with social media that’s gotten turbocharged. If you go into those same communities now, they have so many preconceptions about what somebody like me believes, cares about, etc., that it’s very hard to penetrate.”
FOX killed our familial and neighborly dialog because conservatives do not want to defend their ‘values’.
Jesse Benton was pardoned by Russian asset Donald J Trump.
Russian spies look after each other.
Rand Paul works for Putin. His voting record is always pro-Russia. He hand-delivered a letter to Putin. No surprise his family has been groomed, as well, to serve our enemies in Russia.
Naming your kid after soulless Russian Ayn Rand was no mistake for Ron Paul.
