A bunch of clips from The Majority Report on a verity of subjects

In this on Sam and crew show clips of tRump talking sexually about other world male leaders and make jokes about tRump’s sexuality.   They also mention how he rambles disjointedly and his dementia seems worse.  Hugs

 

 

 

Emma and Ken discuss the new memorandum on terrorism that targets activist, protestors, and people who post online.  It is an attempt to stop people from expressing a negative opinion of the tRump administration and the horrific actions they are doing.  They talk about how the administration really believes that just talking badly about ICE actions is doxing them and any doxing is terrorism.  The administration feels that no one has 1st amendment rights and that anything done to protest the administration is terrorism.  The fear it inspires is discussed along with the cost incurred by the defendants.   Hugs

 

Sam and Emma are talking about how the tRump administration is using the FBI to attack and interfere with democratic voting groups who work to get voters to the polls, raise funds for democratic candidates, investigating civil rights some times with out warrants showing up on the doorsteps of volunteers implying they had committed a crime.  The agents are demanding publicly sometimes in front of family members that people answer questions, give them communications, the agents are on fishing missions and intimidation.  As Brian says telling people about an election is fraud.   Hugs

 

I post this last one by Matt Binder filling in for Emma and Sam showing how Riley Gaines will say anything for money and just how stupid she really is.   She has made money hand over fist using her hatred for trans people get right wing contracts and show deals talking about any talking point the right wing wants to push and emphasize.  Hugs

The Right’s Anti-LGBTQ Hysteria is Now Indistinguishable From Satire

While I detest the end song he plays I love Mark’s take on issues.  He doesn’t pull his punches and lays out the facts.  In this case it is important to watch to the end where he elaborates on the current attempt to genocide trans people by making them illegal as Russia has.  Now requiring that no business, event or medical facility that takes any government money can allow any kind of support or positive affirmation of trans people.  He talks about how important it is to let trans youth socially transition and live as the gender they identify with, and to get puberty blockers to not go through the wrong puberty.  He mentions trans children figure out their gender the same way and ages that cis kids do.   Hugs

Panic over the existence of LGBTQ+ people is becoming so ridiculous it’s almost impossible to tell if it’s satire or not. In this video we’ll look at some of the most ridiculous examples of right-wing hysteria over queer people. Well also talk about how conservatives have successfully weaponized their outrage against queer people and how culture influences politics.

The Humanist Report (THR) is a progressive political podcast that discusses and analyzes current news events and pressing political issues. Our analyses are guided by humanism and political progressivism. Each news story we cover is supplemented with thought-provoking, fact-based commentary that aims for the highest level of objectivity.

 

The Republican Front-Runner for Maine Governor Is Completely Unhinged

 

Republican gubernatorial candidate Bobby Charles is one of the leading contenders to become Maine’s next governor, and his recent comments should alarm anyone who values evidence, competence, or basic reality.

Charles has suggested he would personally counsel women out of having abortions, claimed transgender identities are impossible because of Noah’s Ark, repeated the debunked “litter box” conspiracy theory about schools, and embraced a culture-war agenda that seems ripped straight from social media misinformation.

Yet despite these bizarre remarks, he’s a serious candidate with a real shot at winning the Republican nomination.

Congress and the American people deserve answers about whether the Trump White House is rigging or intervening in Pentagon contracting decisions to benefit the President’s family.

A firm tied to Trump Jr. got a $620M Pentagon-backed loan after the White House reportedly pushed for the deal.Now lawmakers want answers.Funny how "government waste" never seems to include taxpayer-funded favors for the president's family. We need an investigation NOW.

‘You can’t cancel Pride, no matter how hard you try’: GLAAD CEO on some GOP rebranding June

As I have posted before on this subject this is an attempt to push a fundamentalist Christianity on the entire rest of the public.  It is an attempt to enshrine Christian nationalism and the doctrines of one sect into the laws we all must live by.   The people doing these attacks want to make any and all LGBTQ+ content seem dangerous and harmful which would require warning labels.  It is about demonizing the way other people live because the hyper religous don’t like it.  The Christians are free to live as they wish and think as they want but they can not be allowed to oppress and require everyone to live as they do.  They are a minority and the polls show the majority of the public doesn’t share these haters belief that LGBTQ+ people are dangerous or bad.  The majority of people are live the way they want to and let others live the ways they want to.  Republicans keep using attacks on trans and gay marriage to distract from real issues, to enrage their base to excite them to vote, and to demonize a minority group so that the status quo can go back to the 1950s cis straight white male hierarchy.  Hugs 


 

Some GOP lawmakers are attempting to rebrand June, which has been nationally recognized as Pride Month, as “Nuclear Family Month” in some states. GLAAD CEO & President Sarah Kate Ellis joins Laura Barrón-López to share her thoughts on this and a new poll around support for LGBTQIA+ communities.
