I did not think Rivers could sink any lower than he has been, but he surprised me with this one.  I don’t post it for the message but to see how some right wing cult members see the world. 

Lisa Benson Comic Strip for February 09, 2022

It’s a sad comic. President Biden really wants unity but the GOP has no wish to join the US of A.   Got to give Joe credit for trying though.. His predecessor actively did and continues to divide the nation.   Biden would love to have a unified government but you can not expect the Republicans to do anything to help the country because they think their chances of reelection come from denying Biden anything especially if it helps the public. 

So true. The misleading right wing media arm of the Republican party can not stand to have Biden credited with anything. They are all about obstruction and misinformation to try to get Republicans elected to office.

Really asinine. Non-citizens can not vote! It takes years. In general, a non-citizen must spend at least 5 years as a lawful permanent resident to be eligible for naturalization while a spouse of a U.S. citizen must spend at least 3 years as a lawful permanent resident3. The median years spent as an LPR for all citizens naturalized in FY 2020 was 7.1 years. To think this is the Democrats plan you give Democrats far to much credit for future planning.

Mike Lester Comic Strip for February 09, 2022

The cartoonist is way off base, no one I knows says it is OK for Democrats to use the N-word.  I think this is in anger over Republicans being called on the carpet for using that word.  Having said that I have an issue with “bad words”.  I really don’t think there are any words that should be outlawed.   I understand that words can hurt and wound.   I have some words that make me cringe and Ron has words he doesn’t like me to use.   But words only have the meanings we give them, and it is the same with the power words have.  Their power comes from us.   By making the word referred to by its initial makes it more powerful than it ever should be.  It is not like a person doesn’t know what the N-word means so is their a difference between using the word or using the n-word to mean the same thing.   

Bob Gorrell for Feb 09, 2022

Complete lie and misdirection. The crime has risen in cities and states with both Republican and Democratic leadership. Plus crime is still lower than it has been in the last decade. It is expected to decline as the country returns to non-pandemic conditions. What prosecutors are doing is not prosecuting non-violent crime with lower dollar values so that they can use more programs designed to rehabilitate people and not feed the school to prison for profit pipelines. They are not prosecuting low level drug crimes such as possession when so many states have legalized cannabis. The sad fact is there is profit in incarcerating a lot of people in the country, there is a political reason to incarcerate black people and take away their voting rights. There is an attempt to stop any reforms to the justice system and prosecutions in the US. Again this cartoon is misdirection and misinformation.

Tom Stiglich for Feb 09, 2022

No police forces have been defunded, most have seen budget increases. However the Republicans did vote against more money for the police. Yes the Republicans did vote no to police getting more money! The Build Back Better bill had money for police departments all across the US and Republicans killed it. Not one Republican voted for it. So save your pious fake tears.

Al Goodwyn Editorial Cartoons Comic Strip for February 09, 2022

This is BS. Trying to explain science to science deniers is a waste of time. The world is not flat. The world is way more than 6000 years old. The Bible is fiction, not canon. Vaccines work. Masks protect the wearer and the people around the wearer when worn properly.

If it weren’t for 1/2 the population wearing masks, this pandemic would be far worse…

If 100% of the population wore masks, we would not be so deep into this pandemic NOW!

wages not up

No one buys the exact things each week.  But we all buy mostly the same foods all the time that we like to eat and we normally by the same detergents or other supplies.    And the truth is only lately has wages started to rise but there are still far too low.   In my area I am reading that to be able to rent a 1 bedroom apartment a person needs a wage of $20.17 an hour for 40 hours.   $24.82 for a two bedroom.  Most people work for less than $15 dollars an hour around here.

It doesn’t have to be this way.  One way to fix this, rent a large space to have children spread out at tables, have good wifi, and have a few adults to circulate around the large space.  Just like a classroom but much bigger and each kid working on their own computer at their own speed.   It is done in other countries why not the US. 

And the misleading right wing cartoonist fails to mention the parties did a complete swap on ideals with the Democrats currently being against discrimination and the Republicans being for discrimination and oppression, not to mention insurrection and other throwing the government.

Henry Payne Comic Strip for February 06, 2022

Pelosi said that the contestants should be aware of their situation and their safety so they might want to wait on their criticisms of China until they were safe.    She did not say they shouldn’t say anything negative about China, she did not try to stop them from insulting China.  But again facts don’t really matter to the right wing.

I want to scream when I see these cartoons.  Because so many of the right wing cult members believe this is the god’s honest truth.  I argue that no polices have changed other than family detention, I show court cases preventing Biden from making changes on the southern border, I point out illegals can not vote and illegals can not become citizens.   Nothing matters to them.  tRump said 3 million illegals voted for Hillary and now every right winger is convinced that Biden is busing illegal immigrants across the border to vote for Democrats.

A.F. Branco for Feb 08, 2022

Yet no outcry from Branco when ICE under tRump was taking children separated at the border from their parents on midnight flights all over the country and given to Christian adoption agencies to adopt out to Christian parents, collecting fees from those adopting parents, many of those children who have not been returned to their rightful parents. The very definition of child human trafficking.

5G and QAnon: how conspiracy theorists steered Canada’s anti-vaccine trucker protest

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/feb/08/canada-ottawa-trucker-protest-extremist-qanon-neo-nazi

Ottawa’s occupation was a result of unrivaled coordination between anti-vax and anti-government organizations

Thousands of demonstrators have successfully occupied Canada’s frigid capital for days, and say they plan on staying as long as it takes to thwart the country’s vaccine requirements.

 

 

The brazen occupation of Ottawa came as a result of unprecedented coordination between various anti-vaccine and anti-government organizations and activists, and has been seized on by similar groups around the world.

It may herald the revenge of the anti-vaxxers.

The so-called “freedom convoy” – which departed for Ottawa on 23 January – was the brainchild of James Bauder, an admitted conspiracy theorist who has endorsed the QAnon movement and called Covid-19 “the biggest political scam in history”. Bauder’s group, Canada Unity, contends that vaccine mandates and passports are illegal under Canada’s constitution, the Nuremberg Code and a host of other international conventions.

Bauder has long been a fringe figure, but his movement caught a gulf stream of support after the prime minister, Justin Trudeau, announced last year that truckers crossing the US-Canada border would need to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19. The supposed plight of the truckers proved to be a compelling public relations angle and attracted an array of fellow travelers.

Until now, a litany of organizations had protested Canada’s strict public health measures, but largely in isolation. One such group, Hold Fast Canada, had organized pickets of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s headquarters, where they claimed that concentration camps had already been introduced in the country.

 

Another group, Action4Canada, launched legal challenges to mask and vaccine mandates. In one 400-page court filing, they allege that the “false pronouncement of a Covid-19 ‘pandemic’” was carried out, at least in part, by Bill Gates and a “New World (Economic) Order” to facilitate the injection of 5G-enabled microchips into the population.

Both groups are listed as “participating groups” on the Canada Unity website, and sent vehicles and personnel to join the convoy.

Other organizers joined Bauder, including Chris Barber, a Saskatchewan trucker who was fined $14,000 in October for violating provincial public health measures; Tamara Lich, an activist for a fringe political party advocating that western Canada should become an independent state; Benjamin Dichter, who has warned of the “growing Islamization of Canada”; and Pat King, an anti-government agitator who has repeatedly called for Trudeau to be arrested.

Since they have arrived in Ottawa, the extreme elements of the protest have been visible: neo-Nazi and Confederate flags were seen flying, QAnon logos were emblazoned on trucks and signs and stickers were pasted to telephone poles around the occupied area bear Trudeau’s face, reading: “Wanted for crimes against humanity.”

The official line from Bauder and his co-organizers, however, has remained focused; in a Facebook live broadcast, Bauder instructed his supporters to “stop talking about the vaccine” and instead stick to message of “freedom”.

Such strict message control has attracted mainstream support. Numerous members of the Conservative party, Canada’s official opposition, have come out to meet the protesters. Elon Musk and Donald Trump have both endorsed the convoy. Fox broadcasters Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson have provided glowing updates on the continuing occupation.

Bauder vowed the convoy would camp out in Ottawa until their demands are met, insisting to his followers that a “memorandum of understanding” would force the government’s hand, possibly even triggering fresh elections, if enough people sign.

A Canada Unity organizer went further, saying it would require the Senate to “go after the prime minister” for “corruption” and “fascism”. There is no legal basis for those claims.

King has laid out a more direct plan of action to the occupiers: “What we want to focus on is our politicians, their houses, their locations,” he said in a January Facebook stream. If political pressure doesn’t work, King said, blocking major supply chains “will be later on”.

Soon after, the head of security for parliament issued an extraordinary warning to members of parliament to avoid the protest entirely, for their own safety.

The occupiers have deliberately made life difficult for anyone in Ottawa’s downtown core. Trucks have been laying on their air horns throughout the day, often well into the early morning hours. An Ottawa court granted an injunction on Monday afternoon, ordering that the honking must cease.

In the shadow of parliament, a flatbed truck was converted into a stage – functioning as a speaker’s corner during the day, where far-right politicians and occupiers took the microphone to decry Trudeau and Covid vaccines. At night, the stage functions as a DJ booth for raucous dance parties.

Technology has made the occupation even easier: drivers share information on routes and the best ways to evade police barricades via the walkie-talkie app Zello. Organizers in other cities use the secure messaging app Telegram to share information, coordinate messaging and plan solidarity protests.

The occupiers now have the resources to stay for an extended period of time: they have raised more than C$6m (US$4.7m) through various crowdfunding platforms, in cash and bitcoin, despite having been booted from GoFundMe’s platform after raising over C$10m.

The Ottawa occupation is proof that a few thousand determined protesters can overwhelm police and shut down major cities with enough vehicles and coordination. Solidarity convoys have shut down the busy Coutts border crossing between Alberta and Montana, strained police resources in Toronto and Quebec City, and activists as far away as Helsinki, Canberra, London and Brussels have taken note. On the convoy channels, protesters warn this is just the beginning.

“Family Values” Republican Candidate For Oregon Gov Admits He And His Wife Belonged To Swingers Group

And yet the gays / lesbians are going to ruin the sanctity of marriage.   Marriage is one man and one woman claim the Religious even though in the bible it is one man and as many females as he can screw.    Look I really don’t care who bangs who as long as it is consensual.  If all parties agree go for it.  I don’t feel people are property.   I say that as someone in a 32 year long “marriage”.  But I do get tired of the hypocrites that had no problem with Britney Spears and Jason Alexander: 55 hours marriage but said our legal marriage in 2015 would destroy the institution.  At this point I think some like Franklin Graham do it for fundraising yet some like Brian Brown and Scott Lively go all over the world trying to promote hate and criminalize homosexuality.  

The Williamette Week reports:

Sandy Mayor Stan Pulliam, a leading candidate for the Republican nomination for governor, told WW today that prior to entering the race, he and his wife, MacKensey, “explored relationships, mutual relationships with other couples, for a brief period of time before ultimately deciding that it wasn’t for us.”

Pulliam, 40, agreed to an interview after a 2016 screenshot from a page titled “Swinger Facebook Group PDX,” rocketed around Oregon political circles.

Sitting for a Zoom interview Thursday afternoon alongside MacKensey, his wife of 12 years, Pulliam, 40, repeatedly declined to specify when the “mutual relationships” began or ended, except to say that 2016 was an accurate date and their participation ended well before he began running for governor.

Mediaite reports:

“In Oregon, we really cherish values of individuality and liberty,” Pulliam said. “The decisions that we made were for MacKensey and I to make in the privacy of our own homes.”

Pulliam added that he and his wife are not ashamed of their previous activity, nor are they ashamed of it. In fact, he said, the couple has received an outpouring of support.

He also denied that he is bisexual. “I’m a heterosexual male,” Pulliam said. “And I’ve only personally engaged in heterosexual activity.”

Republican: Rape Can Be A Blessing

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signals support for ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill

https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/07/politics/ron-desantis-florida-classrooms-sexual-orientation-gender-identity/

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis appeared Monday to voice support for a controversial state bill that would ban certain discussions about sexual orientation and gender identity in the classroom.

DeSantis, a Republican, said it was “entirely inappropriate” for teachers and school administrators to have conversations with students about their gender identity, saying that, in some schools, children are told “Don’t worry, don’t pick your gender yet.” DeSantis, though, also acknowledged, “I don’t think it’s happening here in large numbers.”
 
“Schools need to be teaching kids to read, to write,” the governor said at a press event Monday. “They need to teach them science, history. We need more civics and understanding of the US Constitution, what makes our country unique, all those basic things.”
 
 
It’s the first time DeSantis has publicly signaled support for an effort by state Republican lawmakers to shut down certain conversations in schools about sexual orientation and gender identity. Though he didn’t directly say whether he would sign the bill if it reached his desk when asked about it Monday, DeSantis’ remarks appeared to strongly suggest he is supportive.
 
According to the legislation, which opponents have dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, school districts “may not encourage discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in primary grade levels or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students.” It is not clear what would be considered “age” or “developmentally” appropriate.
 
Despite fierce opposition from Democrats and LGBTQ advocates, the bill is gaining momentum in the Florida Legislature and is on the agenda for Tuesday’s meeting of Senate Education Committee. A House version of the bill already received a favorable vote from its Education Committee in January.
 
 
Opponents of the bill warn that it would lead to further stigmatization of gay, lesbian and transgender children, causing more bullying and suicides within an already marginalized community. They say the bill would eliminate LGBTQ history from the curriculum and prevent teachers from having discussions with their classrooms if questions about sexual orientation and gender identity come up.
 
Supporters of the bill say the moratorium is directed at school districts, and it would not prevent teachers from having those conversations if they arise. Nor, they say, would it prevent same-sex parents from participating in classroom activities or keep teachers from sponsoring gay lesbian alliance clubs.
 
Under the measure, parents would be able to sue school districts if they suspect a violation.
The language addressing sexual orientation and gender identity is part of a larger bill that seeks to keep parents informed about developments in the school lives of their kids.
 
The bill would ban schools from adopting procedures that could lead to school district personnel withholding information about a child’s mental, emotional or physical health.
DeSantis said the goal is to create transparency for parents.
 
“You have politicians saying parents have no role in the education of their kids. Give me a break,” he said. “We want parents to be able to have access to what’s going on in the classroom.”
