Scottie’s world today

The founding fathers would say, “What the hell is a filibuster?”

Projection. Every GOP accusation is an admission of guilt.

Republicans are the party of theft. They all know voter suppression and gerrymandering are about stealing elections. They know the audits were about stealing elections. They know slowing the Post Office was about stealing elections.

The complicity and gaslighting, vis a vis, ‘stop the steal’, represent manifest diseased GOP morals/ethics.

Marsha, Marsha, Marsha. Your bigotry is showing. Again.

Trumpism = shameless, racist misogynists

Women in Texas: I’d like to have some privacy

Supreme Court: nope

The misogyny is so obvious.

Per the misleading right wing media.   Scottie

Be kind. You don’t know what others are going through.

Misleading right wing media cartoons / memes

Fox News the media arm of the GQP, got caught using an image that is actually from a 2011 NPR story (photo #15) about residents fleeing the disaster area near the Fukushima nuclear power plant.  Yet their viewers claim to be the smartest most informed.   Scottie

At the hearing to again appoint him chairman of the FED, Jerome Powell admitted to Senator Warren that the high prices could be profit taking by companies.   They were raising prices and charging more because they could.   Inflation and profit taking / price gouging is world wide yet the right wing media hopes to pin it all on Biden.   I don’t buy it.   Scottie

If it is a federal election , it should be ” federalized “. What happened to the right-wing talking point that we should just let the free market work things out? Don’t pay attention to the fact that Republicans are making it harder for people to vote and giving themselves the power to easily overturn election results they don’t like. A perfect recipe for a dictatorship. Scottie

Get your shots, wear a mask, keep some distance. It’s really not all that difficult.  Scottie

So the five Republican senators vs 1 Democratic one retiring means? Fact is members of both parties are either retiring, running for different offices, or have been redistricted out of their seat. This is nothing new nor unexpected. As of January 2022, 44 members of Congress—six members of the U.S. Senate and 38 members of the U.S. House—have announced they will not seek re-election. Twenty-nine members—six senators and 23 representatives—have announced their retirement. Five retiring Senate members are Republicans and one is a Democrat, and of the retiring House members, 18 are Democrats and five are Republicans. Fifteen U.S. House members are running for other offices. Four Republicans and four Democrats are seeking seats in the U.S. Senate, one Republican and two Democrats are running for governor, one Republican is running for secretary of state, one Democrat is running for mayor, and one Democrat and one Republican are running for attorney general. No U.S. Senate members are running for other offices. Scottie

Complete bullshit.   Try restricting voting places so people can not reach them and if they do they have wait in line times of 8 to 12 hours.   Try removing the places to get ID in areas of POC and making it as hard as possible to get one.   Try having one drop box in highly populated Democratic areas.   The fact is voter restrictions are happening and that is not a democracy.   In a democracy the people vote for the people they want in elective office, in the Republican way of governing the elected office holder allows only their supporters to vote.   Scottie

The SCOTUS is pro corporate and profit while anti-government services for the public, and so they side with the GQP.   What the supreme court turned down was not mask mandates but mandating business vaccinations through OSHA.   Had congress or other means been used they would have been forced to agree with it.   Scottie

Make the owners profit until you die.    Scottie

Teachers are NOT overpaid

End the filibuster. Move the country left.

Depends on if the state is red or blue.  In the blue states you have a chance for a good result out of the state legislatures, red state ones then you are screwed and your rights denied.    Scottie

At least they were not abusing and killing unarmed black men.   But for that they wouldn’t have been fired.    Scottie

Sorry too late then.   Scottie

 Texas Children’s Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine announced today that CORBEVAX^™, a protein sub-unit COVID-19 Vaccine, whose technology was created and engineered at its Center for Vaccine Development (CVD), has received Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) approval from the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) to launch in India with other underserved countries to follow.

Dubbed “The World’s COVID-19 Vaccine”, it uses a traditional recombinant protein-based technology that will enable its production at large scales making it widely accessible to inoculate the global population. The initial construct and production process of the vaccine antigen was developed at Texas Children’s Hospital CVD, led by co-directors Drs. Maria Elena Bottazzi and Peter Hotez and in-licensed from BCM Ventures, Baylor College of Medicine’s integrated commercialization team, to Hyderabad-based vaccine and pharmaceutical company Biological E. Limited (BE).

Misleading right wing media cartoons / memes

I have debunked this right wing talking point before.   Crime is up currently in cities run by both the right and the left, but the misleading right wing media is making it out to be a lot worse than it is and they leave out it is happening in cities run by the Republicans.   The right wing uses talking points instead of facts.   The crime we have now is less than we had just less than a decade ago.   What the right is trying to do is scare the voters into voting for Republicans saying they will be harmed if they don’t and only Republicans can save them.  It is a talking point they have used for as long as I can remember.   They claim the Democrats are soft on crime and weak on the military.   Both are incorrect.     Scottie

Rivers is a die hard far right cartoonist.   He doesn’t even see the hypocrisy of showing people that sacrificed and gave what they could for a public good he is then comparing to people who won’t even wear a mask to prevent a virus from spreading because it inconveniences them.   Really the other suffered for the good of the country with extra work, rationed foods and fuel, not buying stuff to save it for the war effort and yet the people Rivers is championing won’t wear a mask because it seems to harm a mythical freedom they have the rest of us don’t.   Scottie

Covered this one before.   The CDC guidelines take into account the reality that the US doesn’t have the testing kits we need to do proper testing.  The CDC guidelines are easy to understand if you wish to do so.  If you listened to the misleading right wing the guidelines are written in a now dead language by space monkeys.   It is a case of saying what you wish ere true instead of reporting the reality.   Scottie

The US undervalues teachers and uses them as childcare baby sisters to park kids somewhere so the parents can go to work to make profit for the upper incomes.   The New Mayor of NY even said it, he needs kids in schools so the parents can work when he was talking about wanting to stop testing for Covid.   DeathSantis threatened teachers, schools, and districts if they dared to require masks or vaccines and worse if they tried to do remote learning.  Deathsantis has made it clear he is denying Covid is in Florida because it is hurting the tourism trade and the profits wont flow if we admit the truth.   Better to infect everyone they say and get it over with.   Problem is it is not over with then.   There is so far no herd immunity with the coronavirus which is shown as you can get it a second and even third time.   Teachers are humans, people with families and they want to not get Covid also.   They have the same right to protect themselves as everyone else.   The fact that they stop the states from getting tax money and the upper class incomes from profit is the states problem.  Pay for more teachers to spread the students out, enforce mask and vaccine requirements, and do remote learning when needed.  But the states don’t want to spend more money on kids or teachers / schools, better to let them all die on their own dime the states feel.  Scottie

One side, the Democrats are fighting for the people and the public good.   The other side, the  Republicans are fighting against the public good and for the wealthy / large corporations.  It is very misleading of the media that tries to make this both sides are doing it.   That is incorrect, each side is fighting for very different ideas and groups of people.  Scottie

The main difference is that Pearl Harbor and 9/11 were foreign enemies. The perpetrators of January 6th were domestic enemies, traitors one and all.   Scottie

Equating the ending of a 20 year war and the removing of US troops along with mostly peaceful protests against police abuse / murder of unarmed people to violent attacks against the country with thousands of deaths or the attack on the capital to stop a legislative action is despicable. The ones mentioned by VP Harris were attacks against the US sovereignty. That is a huge difference from the others added despite the right wing media hype over them. Scottie
