BATTLE HYMN OF THE TRUMPUBLIC – God Made a Dictator | Don Caron

Earlier this year the Trump Campaign released a video called “God Made Trump.” As with all releases from the Trump Campaign that needed to be fact checked. which it was – by the Lincoln Project. They discovered that God had been badly misquoted in the campaign ad. This parody is based on their findings.

Political Violence is Ruining Democracy

And this all has dire consequences for democracy.

Florida Advances Bill Forcing Public Schools To Set Aside Time For Student Recruiting By “Patriotic Organizations”

This is known as the foot in the door bill / law.  Once this gets passed, then the next year a bill / law is introduced to add more right wing groups.  Notice parents are not to be notified and from what I read students can not opt out, which totally wipes out parents rights.  Think on it, any parent can keep an entire school from reading a book with LGBTQIA characters, but no parent can keep their child from right wing indoctrination in public schools.   Just mull over what groups the new approved list might include?  The local mega / hate church?  The RNC?  All military branches, which I think most schools allow but students need permission from parents, that permission no longer required.   However written into the law is not available to other groups, such as left leaning or science groups.  No Satanic Temple for science stuff, no equality groups, no pro abortion groups, no other religion but the “good” one Christianity, right?  By law, only right wing indoctrination 1950s society groups may have this right to brainwash kids without the parents being told.  Let the public reeducation camps begin with public schools.   They will wipe all that progressive modern acceptance and tolerance shit out for good, right?   Hugs.  Scottie


 

Florida Politics reports:

The House Choice and Innovation Subcommittee is advancing a bill that would give some groups certain rights in K-12 schools.

Rep. Wyman Duggan’s bill (HB 1317) would allow representatives of so-called “patriotic organizations” time to meet with students and distribute recruitment materials, with schools providing designated time for these groups to pitch their attendees.

The bill also clarifies that certain groups can use school buildings even after the instructional day is over, and stipulates that other groups don’t have the legal right to “equal time.”

Read the full article. Duggan is a freshman.

“Patriotic groups” is right wing speak for “terrorist militias”. He wants to use the school to let terrorist groups recruit kids.

That might be what he wants, but this bill won’t get him there.

Foot in the door …

Attending children get complimentary brownshirts.

I think that’s compulsory brownshirts.

Isn’t this how Hitler recruited the youth groups?

Where are the Cubans who scream about the dangers of Castro and forced government stuff at on this?
Oh wait, they’re fine if it’s people they like doing it.
Biggest bunch of hypocrites around.

Heney I live in the hood with them.. Its fuck biden flags and bumper stickers all over the place . The show their hatred for freedom and the constitution everytime they scream for trump

Nations – and the citizens that come from them – who have never tasted a history of being a democratic republic really don’t understand how it’s done. I think we’ve got plenty of migration around the world now to recognize that.

Sadly, we’re witnessing how easy it is for even a nation like ours – WITH said history – to easily lose it once history is no longer considered an important topic in classrooms. No wonder MAGAts hate an educated population.

Castro’s revolution was against the semi-fascist regime of Fulgencio Bautista (who eventually took refuge in exile with Franco!). The original people who fled Castro were allied with / members of / happy under a semi-fascist regime.

It is entirely on brand for them to support Trump.

Yep. Let’s see – Catholic Priest Altar Boy Appreciation Society – check!
Hitler youth – check, check!
Baptist Attractive Young Male Interns International Pimpery – check, check, checkity-check!

They’ll find a way to lock out the Girl Scouts.

The Girl Scouts are on the conservative S-list. They don’t kick out lesbians and trans girls. They teach girls skills that help them become successful as independent women holding good jobs. They may teach health that includes accurate information about their genitalia and those of men.

 

Wait – I thought they hated the Scouts now since the girls promote lesbianism and feminism, and the boys allowed the icky gays in.

I will not be surprised to see the FL legislature and governor coming up with a State of Florida designation of “patriotic and national organizations” to include many favored groups.

The bill also clarifies that certain groups can use school buildings even after the instructional day is over, and stipulates that other groups don’t have the legal right to “equal time.”

 

I like when they include clearly unconstitutional poisoned pills into their legislation.

They anticipate taking it up to the high court (state and federal Supreme Courts) and castrating the First Amendment.

Children can’t read or do arithmetic, don’t understand civics, but let’s take time out of the day and do this and sing the National Anthem. What fucking morons.

Grooming is alive and well in Florida.

The bill also clarifies that certain groups can use school buildings even after the instructional day is over, and stipulates that other groups don’t have the legal right to “equal time.”

I don’t think that’s allowed.

It’s allowed if SQOTUS says it’s allowed

Hey kids! Don’t be stupid, be a smarty! Come and join the Nazi Party!!!

GLSEN and Gay-Straight Alliances are “patriotic organizations,” right?

BZZZZT!!!! Wrong. GLSEN would be one of the organizations specifically excluded.

“………… other groups don’t have the legal right to “equal time.” “

Yeah, that’s the new Patriotic American way !

The GOP has hijacked the word Patriot and made it a foul word.

Conservatism has become a cancer on our society.

The way Gay-Straight Alliances (GSAs) won the right to meet in schools is through the federal Equal Access Act (EAA) of 1984. Any school that permits non-curriculum related student groups must provide equal access to all student groups, and that includes equal access for GSAs. I’m no lawyer, but I wonder if this law can be used in this way.

I’m thinking that if they allow access to the John Belch Society, for example, a strong case could be made for, say, the local LGBT+ Outreach Center.

Oklahoma Bill Would Make Viewing Porn A Felony

You will live by the doctrines of state Sen. Dusty Deevers (R-Elgin) church.  It matters not if you like seeing nude humans, or if you enjoy touching yourself and having sex with others, it doesn’t even matter what religion you may or many not have, you will like a strict all ideas of sex is bad because state Sen. Dusty Deevers (R-Elgin) does.   You know, because republicans are not public servants but they are your rulers.   The moral police have spoken, the Christian Taliban will be around soon to check your computer.  Hugs.  Scottie

The New York Post reports:

An Oklahoma state senator has proposed a law that would make watching pornography a felony and ban sexting among people who are not married. The bill, set to be introduced next month by state Sen. Dusty Deevers (R-Elgin), would prohibit consuming or producing sexual content that “lacks serious literary, artistic, educational, political, or scientific purposes or value” in any medium.

The measure defines “obscene material” as the depiction or description of any “acts of sexual intercourse,” including those that are “normal or perverted, actual or simulated.” Content depicting sodomy and masturbation would also be off the table, in addition to videos, movies, video games and text messages that involve “sadomasochistic abuse” and “acts of excretion in a sexual context.”

The Mary Sue reports:

Under the bill, Oklahoma would ban the distribution of virtually any material that displays explicit sexual content if it lacks “serious literary, artistic, educational, political, or scientific purposes or value.” Additionally, Oklahoma would empower any citizen to open a lawsuit against an individual who “produces or distributes unlawful pornography” and/or “knowingly engages in conduct that aids or abets the production or distribution of unlawful pornography.”

A Twitter user could face significant legal risk just for retweeting adult material on Twitter. The Oklahoma state government could allege that Twitter knowingly allowed the distribution of “unlawful pornography” on the site. And theoretically, Oklahoma citizens could try to take Twitter to court in a civil suit, seeking damages. While it’s unlikely that Twitter would outright pull out of Oklahoma, the site could take multiple steps to try to find itself in the state’s good graces.

Deevers, of course, is a Baptist pastor who won a special election last month to represent some hillbilly rural district where the largest town has a population of 2100.

Per the Oklahoman newspaper, Deevers’ campaign was centered around Christian nationalism, banning COVID vaccines, banning abortion, and banning divorce.

Last year he ran a failed campaign for vice president of the Southern Baptist Convention, getting 20% of the vote.

As you can see below, his bill has the enthusiastic support of Ella Maulding, who is an ardent fan of self-proclaimed Nazi Nick Fuentes and who runs social media for the Nazi-adjacent Texas Republican group, Defend Texas Liberty.

 

 

 

Sounds like SOMEONE has a personal computer filled with terabytes of hardcore porn from the deepest, darkest corners of the internet.

In a normal court, I’d be like “Yeah, that won’t pass constitutional muster.” but this court has lost its fucking mind.

I am convinced that rural Christians consume more porn than average Americans.

The statistics from online porn sites say exactly that.

Statistics show that the more fundy and christian an area is, the more porn they watch. So no, this isn’t going anywhere, his fellow legislators love their porn – for many of them, their real life is so restricted that porn is their only healthy outlet.

Iran. Sharia law.

Ohio elections board refuses to allow trans woman to run for office because of old law

https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/01/ohio-elections-board-refuses-to-allow-trans-woman-to-run-for-office-because-of-old-law/

It is one thing for a person who commits a crime to be off the ballot, like starting an insurrection against the US.  But this is the real weaponizing of the laws to harm political opponents.   What are these republicans scared of?  They can not fight idea to idea.  They can not promote their own ideas because they unpopular, the people don’t want what the republicans are pushing.   So republicans resort to dirty tricks. Even the governor said, let her on the ballot.   Hugs.  Scottie

The county elections board that disqualified a transgender candidate for Ohio state office because she did not include her deadname on petitions circulated to potential voters is refusing to reverse its decision, even after pressure from the state’s governor and other trans candidates being to run for office without disclosing their deadnames in Ohio.

Despite collecting enough signatures to run as a Democrat for Ohio’s firmly Republican House District 50, real estate photographer Vanessa Joy learned earlier this month that she had been disqualified from the race by the Stark County Board of Elections due to an obscure state law requiring candidates to disclose any name changes that have taken place within the last five years.

Notably, the 1995 law was not mentioned in the Ohio secretary of state’s 2024 candidate guide and has not been included in previous candidate guides in recent years. Nor did the candidacy petition form Joy filled out include any mention of the law or space to list any name changes.

Joy requested a reconsideration of the decision, according to a January 19 statement from the Stark County Board of Elections. The board denied her request, citing an Ohio Supreme Court case that found that the law is “unambiguous,” that the “intent behind the candidate’s use of a different name is not relevant,” and that it could not “add an exception that does not appear in the statutory language.”

“The Stark County Board of Elections is sympathetic to Vanessa Joy’s argument that the campaign election guide put out by the Ohio Secretary of State was not specific enough,” the statement read.

The board added that its “decision must be based on the law and cannot be arbitrarily applied.” However, Joy was one of four transgender candidates running for Ohio office this year. Two others, Bobbie Arnold and Arienne Childrey, had their candidacies for Ohio state House seats challenged under the law. Both have since been cleared to have their names appear on the November ballot. Still, according to the Associated Press, both Arnold and Childrey could technically be removed from office if Joy does not succeed in challenging the law.

A fourth trans candidate, Ari Faber, has not had his candidacy for Ohio’s state Senate challenged. Faber has not legally changed his name and is running with his birth name on the ballot, NBC News reports.

While Joy told the AP that, for now, her campaign is over, she is working with an attorney to get the law changed. “I’m out of the race, but I’m not out of the fight,” she said.

Last week, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) said that trans candidates should not be disqualified for not listing their deadnames and argued for changes to ensure that future candidates will be aware of the little-known law.

According to the AP, Ohio’s Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose said that his team will include the law in future candidate guides but opposed changing the law itself.
