Republicans won’t admit they got scammed by Trump because the reason they voted for Trump was because they were tired of getting scammed for decades by Republicans.

Republicans want distractions.

Do they care about nepotism? No. They allow the Trump/Kushner families to enter the White House while failing every security clearance, multiple times.

All Republicans care about is scoring hypocritical political points.

Misleading right wing media cartoons / memes

Again Rivers is a hard far right wing nut who is desperate to blame Biden for everything he can think of. But so far their attacks have missed because they are so vague and the things they mention like the one above are not the fault of Biden or his administration. It is the result of the Republican dream of serving their big money donors by keeping the pubic desperate and in a hunger games society of being willing to do anything a corporation demands of them with no complaint. The Republican desire to have government do nothing for the people and everything for the wealthy has killed the dreams of the people.

See above. As for electric vehicles all the major auto manufacturers see it as the future. When Ford started making electric trucks that was the sign the tipping point had been reached. If you want to get away from the high price of gas, stop needing gas.

Why are far right wing nut cartoonist so desperate to keep money pouring into the pockets of wealthy oil companies? The fact is that both things will causes death and destruction. Both are preventable. Both are caused by man.

The only people still using “woke” are those banning books, attacking LGBTQ kids, threatening women, and facilitating gun violence.

I am surprised because the right never mentions Matt Gaetz legal troubles and that he is accused of sex with a minor and taking her across state lines to do so.

Misleading right wing media cartoons / memes

This cartoon lies while making a claim the other news agencies lied. The right thinks that just because there is a laptop that means all their wild claims were correct. Spoiler alert the report they cite states there was nothing incriminating found on the laptop. Nothing! It is like the Durham report where they claimed that it showed Hillary was spying on tRump. No the report did not say that. They claim the report showed that Hillary was working with the Russians, no it did not. In the case of Hunter’s laptop Rudy kept claiming that he had it in his bedroom, but I guess that was another lie? These people see no wrong in anything a Republican does and believe tRump is pure greatness, yet the find issue with Biden for even the smallest misstep.

While this cartoon is correct stating the US has invaded with made up pretexts it doesn’t mean that the US shouldn’t help the Ukrainians and stand up to Putin. We did wrong, and we should be held accountable. Putin / Russia is doing wrong, needs to be stopped and punished. This must not be allowed by any country.

It seems that the guy who had Hunter’s laptop” never tried to return it to its owner, was and avowed Trump admirer and had the ability to create those e-mails he <i.“(supposedly)” found and make it look like they had been there originally.

Nope, nothing suspicious there… Exactly. And of course, took it nowhere near anyone official, either; but to an iffy kind of newspaper “reporter. The laptops exist but the authenticity of the contents of the only one with a relatively intact hard drive has not been determined.

I do get tired of going over the same things. Her chemistry levels are with in specs for a woman. She was getting beat by other women but that doesn’t get much press. She has put in the time and effort to get good at her craft, which is swimming. Some people just excel at their sport, and others do not. Women have been under the accusation of being too manly since women’s sports started. I posted that this morning as I was getting up. What about the woman runner that was so good she was breaking records, there were claims she was really a man and other crap. She was born a woman and because she was really good she was accused of being a man? What does that say about how women’s sports and the women in them are really seen?

Lia Thomas came in 5th in a race yesterday. Seems average to me. This is something that the right likes to hide and only stress the wins so it seems the trans people are sweeping every event in women’s sports. But that is a lie.

The number of people that get sexual reassignment surgery is extremely small as a percentage of the population. The number that participate in sports is even smaller. It’s certainly nt a problem that needs to be addressed in Congress or in the state legislatures. Let the governing bodies of the various sports address it.

Nebulous

A) If you’re not good enough to be competitive on the men’s team, you’re sure not going to be making records on the women’s team. There’s not THAT much difference in most sports.

B) Would anybody actually believe that a jock would want to become a woman and draw the ire of conservative homophobes and transphobes merely because he’s not the top man on the team?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

OldCoal

So show me this line of young men eager for surgery or chemical castration so they can compete in women’s sports!

And you can’t. You can’t because it doesn’t exist. A tiny handful of people on hormones or who’ve had surgery want to compete and that’s a national issue because Tucker and his buddies say it is. Why?

Their usual whine is “gender assigned at birth”. Yet the briefest possible glance at Caspar Semenya’s Wikipedia page clearly says HER gender assigned at birth was female, and she’s never taken hormone therapy of any kind. But SHE has issues being allowed to compete.

I’m sure she’s grateful to all you Qubs. /s

And, just to get the rest of the story:

THIS is what Qublicans usually cite about cisgender sport:

ally includes suppressing testosterone levels and boosting estrogen.

The research was carried out by Dr. Timothy Roberts, a pediatrician and associate professor at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, and his colleagues. They found that trans women who underwent hormone therapy for one year continued to outperform non-transgender women, also known as cisgender women, though the gap largely closed after two years. But even then, trans women still ran 12% faster.

HOWEVER they leave off this part (usual Qub partial quotes) :

Roberts, however, suggested the difference in running times needs additional perspective. “It was a 12% advantage after two years in run times. But to be in the top 10% of female runners, you have to be 29% faster than the average woman. And to be an elite runner, you’ve got to be 59% faster than the average cis woman,” he told DW.

I posted the audio of an oil executive saying the wouldn’t increase production because right now the profits are too great. They are price gouging and they are proud of it. It doesn’t matter any more who gets hurt in the pursuit of the almighty profit.

Man Who Says Gays Are Controlled By Demonic Spirits Complains About “Intolerance To Different Viewpoints”

Man Who Says Gays Are Controlled By Demonic Spirits Complains About “Intolerance To Different Viewpoints”

Via email from hate group leader Tony Perkins:

Kristen Waggoner doesn’t get usually get nervous. As one of Alliance Defending Freedom’s top attorneys, she’s argued before the Supreme Court, tackled high-profile cases, and spoken in front of her share of hostile crowds. But something about her visit to Yale University Law School last week felt different. “I can count on about one hand when I get really anxious before something.”

This was one of those moments. Walking into a room filled with a raging student mob didn’t just mean she was in danger — it meant the culture of free speech in higher education was on the verge of complete collapse. But obviously, the students at Yale were never taught about the free exchange of ideas, because the minute Waggoner was introduced, the crowd rose in unison — yelling and holding vile signs about ADF.

When the moderator, a Yale professor, tried to control the situation — reminding students about the campus’s rule to let speakers be heard — the crowd turned on her. As a nation — and the education revolution we’re witnessing is part of this — we have to get back to promoting the free exchange of ideas.

The quote in the headline of this post comes from Perkins’ interview below with Waggoner. The clip is cued up to that moment.

Federal judge rules Kim Davis violated couples’ constitutional rights; will go to trial over damages

https://www.wkyt.com/2022/03/18/breaking-federal-judge-rules-kim-davis-violated-couples-constitutional-rights-will-go-trial-over-damages/

A federal judge has ruled that former Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis violated the constitutional rights of two same-sex couples when she denied them marriage licenses during the summer of 2015.

In an order published Friday afternoon, United States District Judge David L. Bunning of the Eastern District of Kentucky granted summary judgment in a civil lawsuit that the two couples, David Ermold and David Moore, and James Yates and Will Smith, filed against Davis.

That settles – without a trial – the question of whether Davis violated their constitutional rights, but no decision has been made yet on whether Davis will be on the hook for the likely hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees accrued over the six-and-a-half years of litigation.

Bunning denied Davis’s request for summary judgment on the question of damages, meaning that decision will still go to trial and ultimately be left up to a jury. The plaintiffs are asking for compensatory and punitive damages, pre- and post-judgment interest, costs and attorneys’ fees.

“The plaintiffs could not be more happy,” Michael Gartland, an attorney for the plaintiffs, told WKYT’s Garrett Wymer. “As the court notes in the decision, this case has been pending since 2015. They couldn’t be more happy that they’re finally going to get their day in court and they’re confident justice will be served.”

In a news release, Liberty Counsel, the organization who represented Davis, noted that the case could go back to the Supreme Court over religious freedom concerns.

“Kim Davis is entitled to protection to an accommodation based on her sincere religious belief,” Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said in the release. “This case raises serious First Amendment free exercise of religion claims and has a high potential of reaching the Supreme Court.” (Read Liberty Counsel’s full response here.)

A status conference is scheduled to be held by telephone on April 1. A trial date will likely be set then.

Davis’s actions during the summer of 2015 turned Morehead into an epicenter of the battle over gay rights following the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which recognized a constitutional right for same-sex couples to marry.

Davis said she acted “under God’s authority” when she, as the order summarizes, “famously refused to comply with Obergefell, which required her to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.”

David Ermold and David Moore were denied marriage licenses three times, and James Yates and Will Smith were denied licenses four times, before the two couples were granted marriage licenses by a deputy clerk while Davis spent five days in jail for contempt of court.

The two couples sued Davis, saying her actions caused “mental anguish, emotional distress, humiliation and reputation damages.”

The case has gone through several setbacks, appeals and delays over the course of the past six-and-a-half years.

Davis was previously found to have sovereign immunity in her professional capacity as county clerk, but did not have protection from civil liability in her personal capacity. The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear her appeal on that issue.

Davis had previously asked state lawmakers for an accommodation for her religious beliefs so that she would not have to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, but she did not receive one. The state later removed the clerk’s signature from marriage licenses.

Davis lost her bid for re-election in 2018.

Federal Judge Rules Former Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis Violated Constitutional Rights Of Same-Sex Couples

Federal Judge Rules Former Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis Violated Constitutional Rights Of Same-Sex Couples

Lexington’s CBS News affiliate reports:

A federal judge has ruled that former Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis violated the constitutional rights of two same-sex couples when she denied them marriage licenses during the summer of 2015.

In an order published Friday afternoon, United States District Judge David L. Bunning of the Eastern District of Kentucky granted summary judgment in a civil lawsuit that the two couples, David Ermold and David Moore, and James Yates and Will Smith, filed against Davis.

That settles – without a trial – the question of whether Davis violated their constitutional rights, but no decision has been made yet on whether Davis will be on the hook for the likely hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees accrued over the six-and-a-half years of litigation.

Davis’s lawyer Mat Staver responds:

When Davis petitioned the Supreme Court for review in 2020, the High Court denied review in which the only issue raised was sovereign immunity. However, Justices Thomas and Alito appeared to invite future challenges to the 2015 Obergefell marriage case.

Justice Thomas, joined by Justice Alito, wrote that “[t]his petition implicates important questions about the scope of our decision in Obergefell, but it does not cleanly present them.”

In granting summary judgment for the plaintiffs, Judge Bunning ruled that Davis violated “clearly established” law when she ceased issuing all marriage licenses.

The case will now proceed to trial on the issue of damages, if any. Davis argues that a finding of liability would violate the First Amendment Free Exercise of Religion. This case now clearly presents the free exercise defense and thus could return to the Supreme Court.

Kim Davis is entitled to protection to an accommodation based on her sincere religious belief. This case raises serious First Amendment free exercise of religion claims and has a high potential of reaching the Supreme Court.

Week after ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill gains passage in Florida, similar law proposed in Louisiana

https://www.wbrz.com/news/week-after-don-t-say-gay-bill-gains-passage-in-florida-similar-law-proposed-in-louisiana/

And it is spreading. Once Republicans get away with curtailing people’s rights they try to do it everywhere. Like anti-abortion bills they spread everywhere the Republicans are in charge. The anti-voter legislation also. Now it is the don’t say gay bills. Notice that each one goes a step further than the last, as they do with the anti-abortion bills and the anti-voter bills. This one includes the 12th grade because 18 year olds are too young to know gays exist. Shades of Russia. These bills just make it harder for young people to get the information they need and see role models that are like themselves. This is mass produced attempt to roll back the clock on the progress of the LGBTQ+ rights. Hey we can get married, we are just not allowed to tell people we are married, especially if kids are around. Will same sex couples be able to put pictures of their families up along with the straight couples. See the thing these bills forget to mention is kids from birth on are surrounded and immersed in heterosexuality. Straight couples everywhere, pictures, on TV, in magazines. It is like racism, kids see it all around them and just learn that is the way things are. Why not the same with same sex families? Why separate them out to hide? It has nothing to do with protecting kids and everything to do with trying to prevent kids from understanding it is normal. These religious groups lost the culture wars so far, but they won the elections so the can make the LGBTQ+ disappear as much as possible. This won’t stop kids from being LGBTQ+ as that happens in the womb. It won’t stop kids from feeling what they feel. LGBTQ+ is not a fad, it is not rebelling against the parents. And it seems bigotry and hate won’t ever stop. I have been fighting this same shit from religious driven people all my life from my teens on. Notice the lawmaker kept saying her Pastor pushed her to do this. Her religious leader is putting his hates and church doctrine into secular laws.

Week after ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill gains passage in Florida, similar law proposed in Louisiana

By: Jeremy Krail

Just over a week after Florida legislators passed a controversial bill regulating the discussion of sexual orientation in classrooms, a Louisiana lawmaker has submitted a similar proposal.

The bill, submitted by Representative Dodie Horton, would “prohibit discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity” in K-8 classes and keep instructors from discussing their own sexual orientation or gender identity with students in grades K-12.

“I wasn’t aware of the need [for this legislation] until I looked at some things on Twitter and Facebook,” Horton told WBRZ Thursday. “It just solidified for us to protect our Louisiana children, as well.”

The proposal echoes recent legislation passed in Florida—coined the “Don’t Say Gay” bill by its opponents—that stirred up controversy nationwide and was harshly criticized by pro-LGBTQ groups.

Horton, a Bossier Parish Republican, said the Florida law spurred her bill.

“I started to pray about how we could protect our children here from inappropriate conversations until they are able to dissect it and old enough to understand it,” Horton explained. “I talked to my pastor and he challenged me and said, ‘we definitely need to do this.'”

Governor John Bel Edwards’ office released the following statement in response to the bill, reiterating comments made by the governor during Monday’s State of the State address.

“Some of the bills being brought up this session do nothing to make lives better. Nothing to continue moving us forward. They only serve to divide us. And frankly, some are reminiscent of a dark past that we should learn from, not relive.”

Again the right wing cartoons are desperate to find anything to stick in blaming Biden. Gas prices have been addressed, we even have audio of one of the CEOs saying there is no way they would increase production and reduce their profits.

My gods, their country is being destroy while their people slaughtered and the right wing can only think of the money going to help them. Why, because the right things only of the wealthy wanting every cent of the nation’s wealth and they cry to see it going to help people.

Sick. While crime in the US may seem up right now it is not anywhere near what it was 10 years ago. But to compare any crime in the US to a war torn country that has been invaded and their people are being slaughtered is gross.

Yes Biden made a gaff. He goofed. He admitted it, he laughed about it. He is human. He has been known for making verbal mistakes. He did not get angry when he did it, he did not deny it. I find the difference between him and trump greatly refreshing. tRump would have attacked the press who reported it and claimed he never said what everyone heard him say.

Despite the rights many lies, such as Rudy saying he had the laptop but the authorities wouldn’t look at it, the authorities really had the laptop, the emails that refuted what the right wing was claiming were already in the hands of the DOJ / FBI. They clear both Hunter and Joe Biden. The emails to Hunter’s business partners also stressed many times that Joe Biden wouldn’t be bound by anything that Hunter was doing, that no one doing business with them should do so thinking they would influence Joe Biden’s behavior. It was so above board it is like watching a 1940’s TV show.

Why would your god change its plan after when it didn’t change it before? If your god was actually good, why would you even want to change its plan?

There is a difference between giveaways, like tax cuts for corporations and billionaires and investing in country to modernize it and make it competitive on a global scale.

Here we go again. The following is from “New Hopes for a Changing World,”Bertrand Russell, 1951:

“Dread of disaster makes everybody act in the very way that increases the disaster…In the situation that existed in the Great Depression, things could only be set right by causing the idle plant to work again. But everybody thought that to do so would risk almost certain loss. Within the framework of classical economics there was no solution. Roosevelt saved the situation by bold and heretical action.

“He spent billions of public money, and created a huge public debt, but by doing so he revived production and brought his country out of the depression. Businessmen who in spite of such a sharp lesson continued to believe in old-fashioned economics, were infinitely shocked; and though Roosevelt saved them from ruin, they continued to curse him and to speak of him as ‘the madman in the White House.’”…

Our Government is supposed to help everybody, not just to give largesse to rich people in the comedic hope it will effectively filter down the wealth strata of all citizens. Roosevelt did the upper class a true favor, and some still refuse to believe it. Unfortunately, it took a world war to eventually unite us — for a while.
