Republican Rep Praises “Homogeneous” Argentina For Having “Only One Religion, One Culture, & One Race”

When they tell you who they are, believe them the first time.  Racist, non-tolerant Christian bigots.  This has been their goal for the longest time.   It is clear from the attempts to change history, to whitewash history and current events.  To support the most unchristian tRump over the very Christian Biden because tRump hates and Biden doesn’t, he loves.   Which one is more Christ like?  Which one does the republicans adore?  And if you read the comments it appears she is full of shit.   It is a very mixed diverse country.   I don’t know.   But interestingly one commenter wrote that tRump showed these republicans they can’t bother with code words, the base needs and wants the pure clear hatreds.   Hugs.   Scottie


NBC News reports:

In a video endorsement of Javier Milei days before he was elected president of Argentina, U.S. Rep. María Elvira Salazar praised the country as having everything, including “only one culture, only one religion and only one race, completely homogeneous.” Argentina chose Milei, a right-wing libertarian and former television pundit who calls himself an “anarcho-capitalist,” as president over the weekend, shaking the country’s establishment.

The comment by Salazar, a Florida Republican who is of Cuban descent, appeared to refer to a perception of Argentina, including among its own citizens, as a country of white European descendants. Speaking in Spanish, Salazar said on video: “We want it to be one of the best countries in the world, because it’s what they deserve. A country that has everything. It has soy, it has meat, it has minerals, it has land, it has water, and it has only one culture, only one religion and only one race, completely homogenous.”

Read the full article.

Salazar last appeared here in 2021 when she condemned Biden for “handing over” the international rights to COVID vaccines, thereby “undermining” US-based big pharma of their profits. Salazar missed her 2020 swearing-in as a freshman because she was ill with COVID.

 

 

is she praising the former Nazi’s who escaped after WWII ?>?

Yes, and the Italian supporters of Mussolini.

I used to work with an Argentinian. He had a Spanish first name and Scottish surname. When I asked him about it he said, “Argentines are mutts.”

There are at least 13 indigenous ethnic groups in addition to the countless others which reside there.

From what I read in another article last night, Argentina is quite diverse, and she is full of shit. Well, spewing shit is what Republicans are good at. That and lies, hypocrisy, bigotry, racism, corruption, etc.etc.

There are Black and Indigenous Argentinians even if in very small numbers.

The majority of the population of Argentine are considered to be of “mixed race” – locally referred to as mestizo (of European and Indigenous ancestry). Approximately 5% of the total population are of mixed European and African (or Afro-Caribbean) descent. At least that is what the CIA’s fact sheet on Argentina says….

This is THE most important point that everyone needs to understand. Spanish is not the original language. And modern day culture in Argentina as well as most of North, South and Central America is imported from other countries. Anything not indigenous is not original or “one” anything as they would like to convince us of.

another stellar GQP’er showing off the depth of her knowledge and understanding.

And racism.

What’s truly remarkable is that yesterday’s “unspoken bigotries” are, for Republicans, out in the open today. No more “careful parsing of words.”

Trump taught them that the base needs to hear the hate and bigotries and hear them clearly and unambiguously.

 

Democrats Who Swept Moms For Liberty Off PA School Board Battle Superintendent’s $700K Severance Deal

I already posted the article on this, but the comments on Joe My God are so good I have to do a second post on haters trying to screw over both voters and LGBTQIA kids.   Hugs.   Scottie


 

Christian looters stealing themselves more public funds just to hurt LGBT kids and fund more imposition of ignorance at public expense to destroy education itself.

Converting public funds into private wealth is the core purpose of the GOP. Money laundering for their gain with your money.

Yeah, it’s a major focus for Gov. Wheels here in Texas.

He wants to provide public funds to people who put their kids in private schools!

Christians stealing for themselves is the goal. Hurting LBGT kids is just a side benefit.

Here’s some good news:

 

“Whatever money he did get is gone,” says Kyle Rittenhouse’s lawyer

 

He’s broke. Sad, right? Right?

https://boingboing.net/2023…

He had his 15 minutes…. No he has to live with the fact that he murdered people.

Thumbnail
 

I’m pretty sure he doesn’t give a shit

 

Yeah he is pretty much a heartless scumbag. He was caught on video bragging about the killings at a bar with his Proud Boy buddies, but at the trial he was fake crying about it. I despise him and hope he rots in hell.

He is not going away, unfortunately.

Thumbnail

I suspect that any money he gets from now on will be spent as fast as it comes in. Kids like that don’t know how to manage their finances, as his lawyer seems to realize.
He’s not that bright, obviously has not much interest in his “studies” but thinks he is the bomb with billionaires.
The political grift is all he has in his future. Eventually, he’ll get a job at the Tony’s shop, hawking “Christian for guns.” And he’ll have to live on the measly pay he gets from that.

 

 

Well, who didn’t see this coming?
The incel weeble was allegedly planning on attending college to study nursing (as part of a testament of his character during his trial), and then never did. Then Mr Crying Game-2 claimed to be enrolled and accepted at a rather prestigious college…only to have that college deny that claim. Lil’ Bloat Boy preferred to hang & drink with white supremacist/Nazi/incel groups, found/hired a TikTok gf, was going to just splurge during his 15 minutes of fame letting other people use this doofus for their own political points before discarding the loser.

And now he’s claiming to be destitute again, and none the wiser. Please send cash. 🙄

Frankly, I’m surprised he hasn’t drunk or drugged himself to death yet.

Too bad; so sad. He may actually have to work for a living, after all. I wouldn’t want to have anything to do with any company that would hire Kyle Rittenhouse, though.

Poor Kyle, time to hit the streets. Remember buddy, it’s $20, same as downtown.

Thumbnail

So, he goes to onlyfans. Charges $50 a month for some shirtless pictures. Some crazed MAGAs will support him for being a patriot. He is a scammer and grifter. He knows nothing else. May many engagements with law enforcement and corrections be in his future.

He is in Texas and is being positioned by old right wing money men to run for office as soon as he is of age.

He has a ghostwritten book coming out as money laundering and is being positioned as a future politician for Texas.

If the little cunt ever ‘wins’ an election, he will soon be Madison Cawthorn II. Charmless fat white Nazi sociopaths aren’t going to play with a demographic rapidly changing to favor minorities and zoomers.


Yeah, it’s all about the students isn’t it Moms?

SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS as a severance package for a school superintendent? Seriously? That is beyond nuts, and ought to be illegal. I hope the sane members of the community fight it and win.

It’s a payoff, a dirty one.

A correction... “The exit deal for superintendent Abram Lucabaugh [photo below] was approved the night before the election” The board meeting doing this was a week AFTER the election on November 14. confirming, I live in the district.

So after the election, but before the new elected school board members took their seats?

That was a dick move.

That’s pretty much all the male-led Moms for Liberty has. I’m glad at least that the good folks in Central Bucks voted them out.

That’s pretty much all the male-led Moms for Liberty has. I’m glad at least that the good folks in Central Bucks voted them out.

Fascists cannot be fascists without corruption

Moms for Liberty = Nazi Ladies Auxiliary.

Real estate taxes (aka school taxes) are crazy high in PA, or at least that’s what you hear all the time, I can’t wait till the taxpayers get a load of this. I hope that guy has protection…there are a lot of guns in PA.

That’s 700k they wanted to suck out of the school district, basically cutting funds. Its the MO of every one of these reich wing groups. Vulture capitalism. They infiltrate (financed by billionaires), mortally wound the department, then sell it off to be privatized.
Its what the voucher shit is all about. Govt funneling money directly to some mega donor billionaire. Also see private prisons

I just texted a friend in Berks county (next door to Bucks), he said that the guy had given himself a raise last year. Yeah…nice guy.

While I was look for coverage in the Reading, PA newspaper, found this bit about “Election code violations being turned over to the AG”:

 

Kauffman said an email was sent on Election Day from a voter explaining that he and his wife had voted by mail for the first time this election. The voter said that on Election Day they “wanted to test the system,” so his wife attempted to vote in person at their Bern Township precinct.

At some point during that visit, the woman announced her intent and told a poll worker that she had already voted by mail. In the email, the voter said that his wife got to the voting booth before alerting the poll worker.

The woman ultimately did not cast a second ballot, Kauffman said.

Kauffman did not identify the voter or her husband.

 

Besides being an idiot, who can guess what party they belong to…after watching Fox News concerning all the “election fraud”.

Con-sevative hookers taking care of their pimp
Street corner or “school” board..

And… They say they’re only in it for the children’s sake. Yeah, right. Sure. You betcha.

Conservatives have zero problem wasting public funds on their personal agendas.

That school district will be out over $2 million because of rightwing fuckery.

And who will be hurt the most? The kids. But repubs are anti-education these days anyway, so that’s a positive thing to them.

Put the $700K in a book for the Assholes With Casseroles to burn.

Liberal Redneck – Is Joe Biden Too Old to Run Again?

Mike Johnson and Separation of “Church and State”

Texas House passes bill that authorizes officers to arrest migrants, one of strictest immigration proposals in US

https://abcnews.go.com/International/texas-house-considers-bill-authorizes-officers-arrest-migrants/story?id=104857797

SB 4 passed in the fourth round of a special legislative session.

November 14, 2023, 10:06 PM
 

The bill now heads to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s desk to be signed into law.

Before the vote on Tuesday, state Rep. Jolanda Jones, a Democrat, delivered a scathing rebuke of the bill calling SB 4 and its supporters “racist.”

“It’s not all right to be racist. I will stop pulling the race card when you stop being racist,” she said.

SB 4 was considered as part of the fourth round of a special legislative session ordered by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to consider several immigration-related bills.

 

It creates two new state crimes for migrants who enter or re-enter into the state illegally from another country, punishable with up to two years in prison.

One of the most controversial aspects of the bill would authorize local and state law enforcement officials to arrest migrants they suspect unlawfully crossed into Texas. It also allows judges the option to order some migrants to return to the country they illegally crossed from instead of pursuing prosecution.

Officers and state agencies would be cleared to transport them to ports of entry to make sure they comply. If migrants refused to comply with an order to return, they could be charged with a second degree felony and face up to 20 years in prison.

SB 4 has sparked fears among immigrant rights advocates that the bill would lead to widespread racial profiling and a circumvention of protections asylum seekers have under constitutional law and international obligations. The bill does not provide any funding or requirement to train officers on immigration law, despite the fact it would authorize them to quickly make decisions about a person’s immigration status.

“There is no U.S. federal analogue to a lone officer in their own discretion escorting someone to the border and saying get out. That is a very scary prospect that is categorically different from what the federal government does. In addition to that, in the federal system people would be able to present their claims to an immigration officer and an immigration judge,” said David Donatti, a senior staff attorney with the Texas ACLU.

 

There’s also growing concern that parents may be separated from their children if they are arrested under these new state crimes.

Aron Thorn, a senior staff attorney at the Texas Civil Rights Project says that the law could trigger lawsuits and an international dispute with Mexico since it would lead to migrants being sent across the southern border regardless of their legal status there.

Some opponents of the bill have also suggested that it is being introduced to prompt a challenge of a 2012 Supreme Court decision in Arizona v. United States which upheld the federal government’s authority over immigration enforcement. That case revolved around a law similar to SB 4, which authorized police officers to question migrants about their immigration status and arrest them.

Thorn says because the new crimes created by SB 4 only apply to undocumented immigrants, it will cause law enforcement officials to use race as probable cause apprehending people.

“We know our history is replete with examples of race being used as a proxy for immigration status. We live in Texas, our history books are full of it, and I think people are right to be concerned, specifically because there is no possible way to violate this without being an alien, which means they have to have some sort of idea that you are a noncitizen and race is used as a proxy for that,” Thorn said.

 

A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security declined to comment on the specific legislation being proposed in Texas, but said the removal of noncitizens is the federal government’s responsibility.

“Generally speaking, the federal government — not individual states — is charged with determining how and when to remove noncitizens for violating immigration laws. State actions that conflict with federal law are invalid under the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution,” the spokesperson said.

Lawmakers have reviewed several versions of SB 4 and other similar proposals throughout the year, but have failed to send it to the governor’s desk in previous sessions. Hearings have been marked by strong opposition from Democrat and Republican infighting.

During a Senate floor vote on the bill last week, Republican state Sen. Brian Birdwell, who authored a previous version of the bill last session, said this version undermines the constitution by challenging the federal government’s jurisdiction over the removal of migrants.

“Members that is why all my attempts to carry this legislation and the bill language therein had the proper federal authority responsible for disposition and deportation of those that we detain,” said Birdwell.

 

He added that the bill would set a “terrible precedent” by violating the constitution.

“President Biden’s failure to obey his oath does not compel us to violate ours. Instead, it compels our federal representatives to constrain him and for the electorate to remove him in the coming year,” Birdwell said.

State Sen. Charles Perry, the current author of the bill, defended its legality.

“While I agree we are testing and pushing envelopes, the state has every right to protect its citizens, and this nation has every right to expect Texas to do that when called to do it,” said Perry.

Watch This Dad’s Glorious & Brutal Takedown Of A School Board For Its Anti-LGBTQ+ Policies

PRIDE spoke with Cody Conner who is going viral after speaking out during a Virginia Beach school board meeting.

 

 

 

In the face of anti-LGBTQ+ policies being implemented in schools across the country, some parents are speaking out and it’s glorious to watch. Especially when it’s done like this.

A video of Cody Conner, a Virginia Beach dad, is going viral on social media after he spoke at a school board meeting on October 10. The father of three gave an impassioned speech about the state’s “discriminatory policies” and called out anyone who stands in favor of them.

“You are never going to find a right way to do the wrong thing and Governor Youngkin’s policies are wrong,” he began his speech.

Conner is referring to the Virginia governor’s “model policies” for public schools that require students to use the bathroom and sports team that matches their assigned sex. It also requires written instruction from parents for a student to use names or gender pronouns that differ from the official record, meaning that teacher can deadname students—refer to them by their prior name—if paperwork isn’t filled out by the parents and it requires the school to inform parents if a student is questioning their identity, according to 13 News Now. These policies will be especially detrimental to LGBTQ+ students who come from conservative homes.

Conner started speaking out at school board meetings (he’ll be speaking for the 17th time on November 15) because he moved his family to Virginia Beach right before Youngkin’s policies passed and he worries about the future of his 13-year-old trans daughter who is now in the 8th grade. The family moved from rural Virginia to Virginia Beach so that their kid, who came out as trans a year ago, would be in a school system that would be supportive, but that all changed because of Youngkin.

“I think at that point, I just wasn’t going to run,” he tells PRIDE. “I couldn’t anymore.”

The 42-year-old father said that he’s a quiet person and might not have made the choice to speak up if not for his kids. “I just knew I couldn’t standby and do nothing, just let it happen and hope everything worked out ok and I also wanted to make sure my kid knew that I would stand up for them,” Conner explains as he begins to tear up. “My big job as a parent is not to tell my children who they are, it’s not to make the decisions for them, it’s not to live their life or decide what their life is going to be, but to show them the best way I know how to walk through this world.”

Watching a father stick up for his trans kid and the queer community and rail against conservatives is a cathartic experience and likely why the video has gone viral online.

In his speech that already has nearly 90,000 likes on TikTok, Conner pointed out that the fact that the Proud Boys and the “parental rights” group Moms for Liberty—both considered hate groups by the Southern Poverty Law Center—support these discriminatory and draconian policies is further proof that the policies are wrong.

“Never in history have the good guys been the segregationist group pushing to legislate identity,” he said. “Never in history have the good guys been closely connected with and supported by hate groups like the Proud Boys. And the good guys don’t put Hitler quotes for inspiration on the front of their newsletters. News flash: they’re the bad guys. They’re the bad guys supporting bad policy. And if you support the same bad policy, guess what? You’re one of the bad guys too.”

After nearly a year of delays, Youngkin’s policies are finally being implemented in the Virginia Beach school system, with a few minor alterations, which is why Conner has no plans to stop speaking out. He finished his dynamic speech by reminding the school board members to “be the good guys while you still can.”

Conner explains to PRIDE that for him speaking at school board meetings is about more than just trying to sway board members. “It was just about a lot more than just trying to change the minds of those 11 people up there,” he says. “It was about trying to bolster the hearts of the thousands and thousands of people out there that those 11 people’s decisions are threatening.”

With anti-LGBTQ+ laws sweeping the country it’s easy to become disillusioned, but watching Conner call out bigotry and homophobia is the kind of catharsis the queer community needs right now. But speaking truth to power isn’t the only way Conner is trying to change the world for the LGBTQ+ community. He’s also an organizer with the trans rights nonprofit the Calos Coalition. When speaking with PRIDE Conner was gearing up to cook a trans-Thanksgiving dinner put on by the group. It’s only the second “trans family dinner” they’ve put on—they plan to do it every month—but they are already expecting 70 guests.

“In a very real way the LGBTQ+ community gets treated by a lot of people as if they’re unwholesome in some way, with zero acknowledgment that so many members of the community have been isolated and ostracized from these presumed wholesome places and traumatized in places like the family dinner table,” he explains. “And I just wanted to take that back, create a safe space to sit down and break bread with people [who are] welcome and wanted.”

This is what allyship looks like. This is what parenting looks like. And this is hopefully what the future looks like — which if Conner gets his way, it will.

VIRAL VIDEO: Virginia Dad Calls Out “Bad Guys” Moms For Liberty In Blistering Speech Before VA School Board

My great feeling now that I am clearing some of the backlog.   Yes I have gone from 68 tabs to 3 open tabs.   Don’t cheer, I have been at this since a little after 1 am, and I am getting exhausted now at nearly 10 am.   Ron is trying to make a great Sunday breakfast meal, So we will see.   But this is such a needed and grand post, I really wanted to get it out to the public that don’t go to Joe My God!  But as always do go to the places I post from.   Hugs.

That was powerful.
I like the “There is never a right way to do the wrong thing!”

Well put and well rehearsed. Just puts it right out there, matter of fact, like pointing out the elephant or the nazi in the room.

His speech is simple and direct, cutting through the fascist bullshit. Be The Good Guy is a good campaign slogan.

 

I love the simplicity of “There is no right way to do the wrong thing”

A good article on this:

https://www.pride.com/gay-n…

It starts with a recap, but they’ve talked to him, and included that. He seems like a good guy.

Conner started speaking out at school board meetings (he’ll be speaking for the 17th time on November 15) because he moved his family to Virginia Beach right before Youngkin’s policies passed and he worries about the future of his 13-year-old trans daughter who is now in the 8th grade.

Thanks! The article mentions Youngkin’s transphobic “model policies” that are apparently up to each school board to decide on adopting, adapting, or rejecting.

This Washington Blade article is much less detailed, but short and sweet:

Virginia Beach schools adopt new policy for transgender, nonbinary students
9-1 vote took place after impassioned debate
https://www.washingtonblade…

❝… This decision was made following more than a year of student walkouts protesting Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s new guidelines for trans and nonbinary students and the formation of Students4Trans. Several parents before the vote came out in support of the policies and voiced their opinions as well to the board.

Board member Jessica Owens is the only one who voted against the policy.

“My sticking point being the issue of not being able to address students in the manner that they would like to be addressed,” she said.

Arlington County Public Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools and Prince William County Schools are among the Virginia school districts that have refused to implement them.❞

 

The headline was incomplete:

Virginia Beach schools adopt hateful new policy for transgender, nonbinary students

His words deserve to be shared widely! I used what you transcribed and filled in the rest:
 

“I wasn’t surprised by another delay at the last school board meeting, ’cause no matter how hard you try to implement these discriminatory policies in the ‘right way’, you are never going to find a right way to do the wrong thing. And Governor Youngkin’s policies are wrong.

One of the ways you can tell is because you have speakers from groups like Moms for Liberty here to support them, and I’ll be real simple in case you aren’t paying attention: they’re not the good guys.

How can you tell? I can help: the good guys don’t get declared extremist groups by human rights organizations. Never in history have the good guys been the ones trying to ban books. Never in history have the good guys been the segregationist group pushing to legislate identity. Never in history have the good guys been closely connected with and supported by hate groups like the Proud Boys. And the good guys don’t put Hitler quotes for inspiration on the front of their newsletters.

News flash: they’re the bad guys. They’re the bad guys, here supporting bad policy. And if you support the same bad policy, guess what? You’re one of the bad guys too. When you look around and see only the wrong people support what you’re doing, you’re doing the wrong thing.

Now you’ve heard some speakers come up here and say how they love these kids but won’t accept them. I’m here telling you that if your love makes somebody not want to be alive, it’s not love. That’s not love.

Some speakers are going to get up here and talk about ‘parental rights’. The only right a parent has is the right to responsibility. And if you need somebody else to tell you who your kid is, you’re probably not that good a parent.

And some are going to get up here and tell you how ‘it’s the law.’ Well, I remind you that slavery and segregation also used to be the law here in Virginia, and that there is no right way to do the wrong thing.

So do the right thing. Reject these policies that harm and endanger our LGBTQ students. Be the good guys, while you still can.”

Great to see. This is the boldness we need on our side to call out the dangerous policies bigots are pushing to their face. Well done, SIR!!

“Be the good guy while you still can” (emphasis mine). I hope they do, but I bet most of them are moral cowards who won’t do the right thing.

They know god is on their side.

Johnson: America Deserves God’s Wrath For Permitting “Dark And Depraved” Things Like Young LGBTQ People

Again because people were not paying attention, the religious fanatics moved into positions of power.  Now they want to enforce their own personal way of life on everyone and are willing to destroy democracy to do it.  The public should take these people as a warning of how they want to erase our personal liberties to eased their religious fears.   Think of it, if you read both this post and the article you see that he is claiming that his god will not give good things to our country, which to be honest has really been so far his god giving good things to white people, but will now be mean to … again white people because the very people Mike Johnson thinks are bad have gained more equality in the cis hetero world.  He really thinks we are inventing new ways to be “evil”.   Hell’s bells and my dogs that love gravy how weird is this guy to think that people only started to do bad stuff now that gays have the right to marry and kids can come out at school?  Really what about slavery, what about the atrocities all through history including the Holocaust and the dark ages, Spanish Inquisition, and the horrible things Columbus and his people did.   But gay kids are where his god draws the line????  Think of the things being done in Gaza, but his god is more upset that a boy finds another boy sexually attractive so that is why he will destroy the country?   Think about where and why these people focus on.   Worth the read for both.   Hugs


Rolling Stone reports:

Talking to pastor Jim Garlow on a broadcast of the World Prayer Network, Johnson spoke ominously of America facing a “civilizational moment.” He said, “The only question is: Is God going to allow our nation to enter a time of judgment for our collective sins? Or is he going to give us one more chance to restore the foundations and return to Him?”

The segment was filmed Oct. 3, just weeks before Johnson’s unexpected rise to become speaker of the House. Garlow pressed the clean-cut Louisiana congressman to say “more about this ‘time of judgment’ for America.” Johnson replied: “The culture is so dark and depraved that it almost seems irredeemable.” He cited, as supposed evidence, the decline of national church attendance and the rise of LGBTQ youth — the fact, Johnson lamented, that “one-in-four high school students identifies as something other than straight.”

Discussing the risk of divine retribution, Johnson invoked Sodom, the Old Testament city destroyed by God for its wickedness with a rain of burning sulfur. Johnson is a polished orator, but in a closing prayer with Garlow he grew tearful. Johnson intoned, “We repent for our sins individually and collectively. And we ask that You not give us the judgment that we clearly deserve.”

Read the full article. Longtime JMG readers may recall that Jim Garlow appeared here many times starting around 15 years ago, usually for “gays are satanic” type rants.

In 2010, Garlow declared that God passed Proposition 8 in California because Christians nationwide had fasted against same-sex marriage.

In 2017, we heard from Garlow when he called for a national tax to be given to churches for them to provide healthcare to congregants, as “health is God’s issue.”

In 2021, Garlow led a group of evangelicals in marching around the Georgia Capitol building seven times to prevent Democrats from winning.

Garlow is the co-author of the so-called Manhattan Declaration, which calls on Christians to disobey all pro-LGBTQ ordinances and laws.

PREVIOUSLY ON JMG: Pastor Jim Garlow calls for an armed uprising against the nation’s LGBTQ people. Pastor Jim Garlow claims that Christians who hate homosexuals will be rewarded with an eternal celestial orgy when they reach heaven. Pastor Jim Garlow says Satan is a gay activist. Pastor Jim Garlow says God has forgiven Newt Gingrich for his serial adultery.

 

Horrifying, really

I cannot emphasize enough that that man is dangerous. He believes that he has been placed there by God to claim the united states government for his narrow radical view of Christianity. Him + Trump represent an existential threat to the republic.

Imagine that the person with these horrifying views is two heartbeats away from being president of the U.S.!!

That is so frightening!

Two heartbeats away? He already is the beating heart of the Speaker of the House!

In its early days, our “Christian” nation wiped out most of the indigenous people and brutally enslaved millions of Africans. More recently, it fabricated excuses to start two bloody and futile wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, in which untold innocent civilians and children died.

If those and other atrocities didn’t piss off the Christian god, then he either doesn’t exist or has very warped priorities.

These people are gleefully watching whats happening in Israel because, to them, it means Baby Jesus is returning any day now so he’s trying to “save” as many Americans as possible before the end.

Its horrifying, absolutely.

Absolutely. Their doctrine says the Jerusalem Temple must be rebuilt before Jesus can return. And when he does, all Jews who have not accepted him as Savior will be obliterated. Which is all of them.

What’s appallingly cynical is that while most Jews probably don’t know this, the Israeli government certainly does, and is happy to accept evangelicals’ support even knowing what’s supposed to happen to them.

And no, they do NOT want peace, because then Jesus won’t be coming. War is a necessary precursor.

Yeah, what is this obsession with us queer-folk?

 

Jealous of the great blow jobs he’ll never get nor welcoming tight holes.

Religious fanaticism is really the biggest danger to civilization.

I wonder if it will be that, or the devastating effects of climate change that will finally be the end of us humans.

I think we deserve it, either way, for doing so very little to counter either extreme danger.

This guy’s really dangerous. They really managed to sneak the guy in there without any proper due diligence, didn’t they? I recall that screaming shrew shouting down the reporter who asked the question about election denial. “How *dare* you apply scrutiny to us?!!”

Every Republican supported him, and none of those Republicans are facing angry constituents calling for their removal from office any time soon… so this is apparently what Republican voters want from DC.

I fully expect the dark money’d interests already knew how twisted and perverted this miserable piece of shit is before they insisted on his installation.

It’s right there in the book of Ezekiel: Sodom and Gomorrah were not destroyed due to gay people living in them. They were destroyed because violent residents violated their cultural guest laws, harassing and robbing visitors and migrants asking for help.

You can always tell what kind of Xtian you’re dealing with depending whether they actually understand the lesson in their own book or if they simply apply whatever interpretations they want in order to justify their own appalling, hateful behavior.

They ignore the part where Lot offers his daughters to the angry crowd, then later the part where Lot has sex with his daughters.

Lot offered his own four daughters to appease the soldiers to prevent them from killing the two angels he was saving in his house. For his protection from the angry mob and the soldiers, the angles made everyone who protest to become blind. This made the soldiers angry, and they raped Lot as punishment for protecting those angels, which was commonly done to control their victims.
Angels then told Lot to run away with his daughters because they were going to destroy those two mythical cities for their inhospitality and cruelty.
For one thing, there is no ancient archeological evidence that Sodom and Gomorrah ever existed. They are not on any ancient maps. As typical with most Biblical stories, they are parables to learn from except for those Christian apologists who take everything out of context to justify their bigotry and ignorance.

Christians ignore what the Bible actually says about Sodom and Gomorrah. We weren’t the cause, we were the punishment, at least the first level of punishment.

Frankly, it’s pretty insulting, but the way THEY act is what’s raising the threat level…

Christians ignore a lot of the bible. They sure focus on the hate, some of them

Looking back, if I had a safe and supportive environment when first realized I was Trans at age 15 I believe my life would have been much easier. Not perfect but easier.

This religious fanatic needs to mind his own freaking business.

Minding their own freaking business is something that christian republicans (is that an oxymoron?) are totally incapable of doing.

But, just try to get into their business, and they’ll shriek and claim persecution!

And that is why it is so important that all trans and non-binary come out. To find each other so they can comfort and support each other and show that this is ok and part of normal life. That’s the reason christStains are so against any kind of equality and normalization of all genders. Because it goes against their hate and deludes opportunities to grift money. The only reason growing up trans was hard for you and growing up gay was hard for me is because of hateful religion.

Young Americans are running screaming from Christianity because of creeps like YOU, shithead. Now go share some porn links with your son

Ethics, reason, conscience? These are all counterbalances against religion, superstition, and bigotry.

Teabagger’s or MAGAt’s, still the same haters.

I am to the point that I want to snap and throw any cross I see. It’s just a fucking swastika straightened out to me. Symbol of hate.

And, if you think about it, the cross was essentially used as a torture device.

It says a lot about a religion that chose that as its representative symbol.

Johnson is quite delusional and hiding a deep dark secret about himself, as we’re all quite aware. NO ONE ever goes that deep into how to ‘eliminate’ our clan than those who are deep DEEEEPPPP in a violent and sad closet.

Johnson and his son share a porno filter. That’s pretty fucking weird. And the wife speaks in baby talk. Fucking creepy.

Yeah, there’s seriously something off about this guy, beyond the usual bigotry. The prissy zealotry is extremely creepy. (Along with those other signs like the weird youthful adoption and the porn monitoring with his son.)

Some of them just seem ignorant, blind cultists. But this guy is full-on creepster culty since he’s clearly intelligent enough, or should be, to have some grounding in the real world. If I had children, I wouldn’t let him anywhere near them. He gives off serious pervy vibes.

America Deserves God’s Wrath For Permitting “Dark And Depraved” Things Like Young LGBTQ People Republicans.

Why is one of the default babble verses against LGBTQI+ always include the story of Sodom and Gomorrah? Interesting that the post script to those verses was the daughters of Lot getting him drunk and having sex with him to supposedly make sure the world didn’t die with no survivors.

And I ALWAYS have the counterweight babble verses to this. Why was sodom and gomorrah destroyed? Because they did things that was against the traditions of the peoples in those lands at that time. And these traditions are timeless so it also applies to us in this time an place.

Ezekiel 16:48-50

•As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, your sister Sodom and her daughters never did what you and your daughters have done. “‘Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen. (NIV)

They’ll never except the truth of what it says.

Interesting that the post script to those verses was the daughters of Lot getting him drunk and having sex with him to supposedly make sure the world didn’t die with no survivors.

And likely what really happened was Daddy got loopy, knocking up the daughters, then blaiming them. Imagine the two boys that were birthed. He was their father AND grandfather their mom’s were their half-sisters, and each mom was the aunt to the other’s kid. And it, apparently, was all A-OK with the big sky fairy.

Sounds a lot like the arrogant, overfed and unconcerned congress critters not helping the poor, the sick etc better reread that part of the Bible quickly.

Gurrrrl, you in trouble.

I am not threatened by the existence of LGBTQ people. Certain groups of church-going Christians, however…

Hey Maggot — your god CREATED Young LGBTQ People.

Paaaahraise Jaaaaysus !!

I have long said that if God hates gay people, then He fucked up royally when He had a hand in our creation. He is supposed to know all the past, the present, and the future. So how did we slip through? The answer we always get from the “religious ones” is that we “choose” to be gay. Stop choosing and you’ll be OK. See?

Homosexuality is a natural and a normal expression of human sexuality. It always has been, it always will be, and after all of us, here, are dead – and our existence forgotten – there will still be gay-oriented babies being born on every continent, in every country, and in every culture

Same as it ever was

That’s a little piece of truth they left out of both the Old and the New Testicles.

First, they never think deeply about that and they became str8 the first time they got excited when they caught a glimpse of her panties or her bra straps or big tits, etc.I actually asked a coworker that once, and that is the paraphrased answer he gave me. He became str8 when he first got hot over a girl. It’s so easy. I realized that the thinking was so shallow that further discussion was useless.

So God sat back as gave a 👍🏼 to more than years of slavery and lynchings but he’s super pissed and losing his shit over young LGBTQ kids living their lives? M’kay.

If Mike’s god stood around while 8 million Jews were killed, I don’t think he’s too worried about the gays. Stay in your lane, Mike.

And another thing to say to this…person:

Russia seeks extremist label for LGBT movement

Wow, been a hard, long day for me.   But the goal for Russia and the goal for what the religious Christian movement in the US is the same.   They want to wipe out the LGBTQIA.   Hugs.

Russia’s justice ministry has filed a motion with the country’s Supreme Court to ban the activities of what it calls the “international LGBT public movement” as extremist.

It is unclear whether the ministry’s statement refers to the LGBT community as a whole or specific organisations.

It said the movement had shown signs of “extremist activity”, including inciting “social and religious strife”.

The ban could leave any LGBT activist vulnerable to criminal prosecution.

The extremist label has been used in the past by Russian authorities against rights organisations and opposition groups such as Alexei Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation.

The top court will examine the motion on 30 November.

 

The ban would make it impossible for LGBT organisations to operate and put activists and employees at risk of criminal prosecution, the Moscow Times quoted one of the few LGBT activists still inside Russia as saying.

“Essentially, it would entail criminal prosecution based solely on one’s orientation or identity.”

Analysts suggest the move is a populist measure designed to win votes ahead of next year’s presidential election.

Vladimir Putin is widely expected to stand for a fifth term as president, though he has not yet openly declared his candidacy.

Russia under Mr Putin has cracked down on LGBT activism, which he sees as part of an attack by the West on “traditional Russian values”.

This campaign was accelerated following the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

 

Legislation passed last December banned “propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations” among all age groups. This was an expansion of a 2013 law aimed at minors.

The law categorises any positive depictions of same-sex relationships in mass media or advertising under the same umbrella as distributing pornography, the promotion of violence, or stoking racial, ethnic and religious tensions.

This year saw a crackdown on transgender rights, with legislation in July banning gender reassignment surgery.

Officials insist that “non-traditional sexual relations” are not banned in Russia.

Deputy Justice Minister Andrey Loginov said on Monday at a UN review of Russia’s human rights record that LGBT rights were enshrined in law, and that discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity was banned.

But the latest move is likely to cause deep concern in an already threatened community.

 

“Activists face pressure from the state, as well as from homophobic and transphobic groups, often enduring physical attacks,” the unnamed campaigner added.

LGBT charity boss Dilya Gafurova, who has left Russia, told AFP news agency that authorities were not just trying to “erase us from the public field: they want to ban us as a social group”.

“We’ll continue our fight,” she said.
