Dr. Oz: I believe that the Federal government’s job is to protect you. Me: Cool, protect people from mass shooters? police misconduct? Going bankrupt due to medical illness? Dr. Oz: No, the federal government should only protect you from brown people coming in to the country.
Whatever happened to Bannon giving Congress the middle finger I mean, I know the answer is "lol nothing," but was there any follow up?

Capitol rioter enters Texas GOP primary, because this is what Republicans are now Spoiler I was warned ages ago that violence is not a solution to any problem, and that if I wanted Carrot Top to stop doing prop comedy I should just bide my time. Did it work? I’m scared to look. Can someone at least let me know if Jeff Dunham is still at large? But Republicans these days seem to have missed the memo. In their bath salts hallucination of a universe, political violence is tres chic. The party’s modern luminaries include rampaging death-gnome Kyle Rittenhouse, scaredy-’ristocrats Mark and Patricia McCloskey, Jan. 6 rioter and tragic Donald Trump victim Ashli Babbitt, and Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte, who earned piggish praise from Trump in 2017 after body-slamming a reporter. (How conservatives’ Tinker-Toy minds manage to shart out encomiums to Rittenhouse while seizing on the absurdity that the Capitol officer who shot Babbitt is somehow a murderer is a mystery for the ages.) And now? Violently attempting to overthrow the U.S. government on behalf of clammy fascist Donald Trump is apparently a feather in your cap if you’re running for office in Texas. A North Texas man facing federal charges for allegedly assaulting police officers during the Jan. 6 insurrection and siege at the U.S. Capitol is now running for a Texas House seat. Mark Middleton, who was indicted in May by a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., is challenging incumbent GOP Rep. David Spiller of Jacksboro in House District 68. Following this year’s redistricting, the district stretches from the Oklahoma border south to Lampasas and San Saba counties at the edge of the Texas Hill Country. How long before Trump, who appears to be installing his 2024 coup crew as we speak, endorses this lout? And, of course, state Republicans have accepted his application to become a candidate for the March 1 primary—because the Hitler Goof Party (aka the GOP) simply can’t afford to alienate a future brownshirt. (Who would be left if they did?) The couple have pleaded not guilty and are free on a personal recognizance bond while they await trial on nine counts involving assault of a law enforcement officer, interference with a law enforcement officer during civil disorder, obstruction of an official proceeding, unlawful entry on restricted grounds, and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds. Blue Lives Matter! Unless they’re trying to keep a mob from murdering the vice president and speaker of the House! In that case … never mind! According to the FBI, Middleton and his wife, Jalise, were seen on video rioting on Jan. 6 with the other Trump troglodytes. Oh, and he says Texas should consider seceding from the U.S. So, yeah, not exactly an exemplar of American patriotism, unless cumulative flag-humping hours is your key metric. Were Republicans always like this, or did someone feed them after midnight or something? I seem to remember long-ago tales of Republicans who didn’t launch spumes of COVID spittle into the ozone every time they spoke. I swear. It wasn’t all that long ago, either. Hmm. Maybe I dreamed it. Never mind.
Professor at public university rants about feminism, suggests women shouldn't go to medical school A political science professor at Boise State University recently went viral in the worst possible way: He made comments about women in the workforce that feel straight out of a 1950s conservative handbook, as covered by The Daily Beast. The professor in question, Scott Yenor, made the anti-feminist comments while at the annual National Conservatism Conference in Orlando, Florida, in October, but has only recently gotten backlash on social media. Spoiler What did Yenor say? At the event, which included keynote speakers like U.S. Senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, Yenor suggested that women should focus on “feminine goals” such as having children and being homemakers instead of going to school for medicine, law, and engineering. He attacked “strong, independent” women, Sex and the City, and women who work in fields like human resources and marketing, calling them “agents of the new world, but not new life.” He described these women as the “backbone” of every “left-wing cosmopolitan party” in the Western world, including, of course, the Democratic Party here in the United States. Somehow, that’s not even the worst part of his remarks. “Young men must be respectable and responsible to inspire young women to be secure with feminine goals of homemaking and having children,” Yenor told the audience during the Oct. 31 event. He added that “every effort” must go toward not recruiting women into engineering, but instead to “recruit and demand” more of men who are engineers. “Ditto for med school, and the law, and every trade,” he added. You can watch his speech here, courtesy of YouTube. On Twitter, he reshared a video of his comments and a double-down on his sexist remarks, describing “independent” women as more “medicated, meddlesome, and quarrelsome.” According to the Idaho Statesmen, Yenor served on a right-wing politician’s investigative task force in the past. Yenor reportedly looked into “indoctrination” in schools on behalf of Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin, who herself is a far-right Republican. At this point, you might be thinking: Well, this is terrible, but at least his horrible views have come to light and he’ll be removed from the classroom! But alas, that’s not the case. Mike Sharp, a spokesperson for the university, told the Statesman in a statement that the university is not removing Yenor, as it would be an infringement on his First Amendment rights. Sharp added that “no single faculty member” defines what the school endorses or stands for. Which, okay, but what about the students who actually take—and likely pay to take—his classes? Are we really to believe grades are fair? What about letters of recommendation? References for jobs or graduate school? Even within the department itself, are we really to believe this is fair when it comes to promoting faculty or offering tenure reviews? Academic papers? Apparently, folks online are wondering the same things, as a number of people on Twitter expressed shock and concern. If you’re curious about Yenor’s background, he holds a PhD from Loyola University, Chicago, and a bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. According to Idaho Education News, Yenor holds tenure at Boise State and was hired back in 2000. If you want to take a deep dive into Yenor’s hysterical talking points, he has a YouTube channel with more than one video about the “recovery" of family values.
Don’t forget that if you resist or lunge for a citizen agent of the law’s gun, they are now a-scared enough to shoot you without repercussion.
Roe would still be dead, just via a more measured opinion than what the 5 non-Roberts conservatives will now agree to
Don’t worry, it’s not like that author is potentially going to be in congress soon. Just kidding, he’s running in Tennessee.
You should still let go of GG being anything other than a worthless piece of shit though. Agreeing with you just happened to benefit him in that moment.
I remember arguing that I can hold an anti aircraft gun to a gun but to make a point. He said there should be limitations. I asked him you mean like people who wrote this using muskets compared to AR-15s? Didn’t get a reply.
This is the only logical conclusion of the current GOP/NRA position on the second amendment and gun laws. It’s the only consistent stance. The second amendment talks about “arms” not guns. Shall not be infringed!
See, everyone wore sleeves then. And sleeves fucking suck in the summer. But some minimum wage nincompoop didn’t know the appropriate use of bear/bare.
