GOP lawmaker blocks $27M in COVID funds because vaccines contain “living organisms with tentacles”

With this kind of insanity you almost wonder how humanity has survived for as long as it has...

He could have just dropped the "about getting vaccinated" part.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

They’re just angry, spiteful, poorly educated people.

And on top of that emotion is the enemy of logic. When you replace facts with emotion you wind up in the wrong place.

To paraphrase Graham's own description of Donald Trump (before his Damascene conversion to the MAGA cult):

"These people are kooks. They're crazy".

To paraphrase Graham's own description of Donald Trump (before his Damascene conversion to the MAGA cult):

"These people are kooks. They're crazy".

He still probably thinks that. He just can't say so because he's more worried about his own ass than he is the health of the country.

Business Insider - 84% of Trump voters worry about discrimination against whites and think Christianity is under attack

It's not about discrimination, it's about white rage and supremacy and white fear.

The Guardian - White male minority rule pervades politics across the US, research shows (May 2021)

• White men are 30% [~28% according to new 2020 Census] of US population but 62% of officeholders
• ‘Incredibly limited perspective represented in halls of power’

Another obstacle to a more representative government comes from the Republican establishment, which does not run candidates reflective of the nation. In the 2020 primaries, 93% of Republican candidates were white, and fewer than one in four were women.

Democratic candidates, on the other hand, were 44% women and 32% people of color – still shy of a one-to-one match with the country’s overall demographics, but far more inclusive than the GOP’s virtual erasure of entire communities.

Those numbers are even higher when you add white women to the figure.

67% of 2020 voters were non-Hispanic whites despite being only 57% of the total U.S. population in 2020.

Whys is that guy wearing a curtain?

Whys is that guy wearing a curtain?

It's too ugly to be a curtain. That's my grandmother's couch.

 

[DJ Kornphlake]

I wonder if the guy in the blue suit was feeling more confident in his wardrobe choice.

I wonder if the guy in the blue suit was feeling more confident in his wardrobe choice.

I was trying to figure out what to say about that guy.

Good one....

It's insane that in the year 2021 we have a GOP leadership that is mainstreaming an offshoot of the Unification Church.

One that is DEEP into the woods of Christian Apocalyptian thought to the point they have sanctified the idea of them being armed and ready to set up a theocracy at a moments notice.

Of course he lies. He's a chickenS*** @$$#0le who is more interested in his career than the country. He's got a lot of company. He's in the repub club on Capitol Hill.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Scalise was shot by an unhinged person.

You'd think he would understand putting out false information intended to rile up the already unstable is a bad thing but...

[House Republican Leader] Kevin McCarthy is an 'insurrectionist in a suit and tie,' Adam Schiff says

McCarthy and 2/3 of GQPs in Congress voted to not certify the 2020 presidential election (but their own elections were somehow okay) so of course they are a part of the insurrection.
