Do you know how hard it is to get a picture of AOC where she doesn't look like she's either happy, concerned, obviously thinking/working, or just plain looks pretty? Not easy. They hate her because she's vibrant, ferocious, is doing good, speaks her mind, and is calling them out on their poo poo. Things the GOP despises, and she's also "a girl that's making us look like uncaring ghouls".

Just listened to the "well there's your problem" podcast about the Vulcan bridge on the WV/KY border, and I'm drawing some strong parallels to the situation in Texas & the absolutely savage political beating AOC and Beto O'Rourke are dishing out right now.

Basically, Vulcan was a tiny coal mining town on a mountainside flanked by a river, and it became irrelevant to the world at large. But people still continued to live there. The town was inaccessible by road because of the mountains and the river, and people had to trespass on railroad property to get anywhere. The people in town had petitioned to both KY and their home state of WV for some assistance in building a bridge to the highway across the river, but neither state was interested and the US Government wanted nothing to do with it.

So they reached out to the USSR for funding, on a humanitarian basis... and their request was granted. This shamed the US or one of the states, or who knows I forget, into actually giving a drat about their citizens and approving funding for the bridge. I guess sometimes the only way to get somebody to care about you is to grab em by the dick.

If I hadn't known AOC to be the kind to organize charity drives like this on the regular, I'd chalk this up to an extremely savvy political advisor in her corner. What better way to beat your opponent, on their home turf, by actually giving a drat about the citizens they represent... and doing it while they've been caught literally fleeing from them during a disaster.

they made fun of her for a "photo op" where she cried behind a fence at a tent city encampment. then they lied about it being an empty parking lot, etc.. when there was proof there were people there and that was the closest she could get. then they said it was merely for a photo op, except those photos were taken during her campaign when she was still a complete unknown.

like AOC could have easily stopped at one million and gone on with her day and people would applaud her for even raising that much. but the fact that she went above and beyond to 5 million, when all she is is a "mere" congresswoman not even from the state. if ted cruz had any shame he would have resigned outright for that.

like it boggles the mind that the best ted cruz could come up with was, 'take photos of me serving bbq' while aoc is literally getting more support to actual people in need.

speaking of which, john cornyn has basically been MIA as well. aoc running circles around them both

What gets me about Cruz is, if for a moment you put aside the morality of abandoning your constituents during this... the fact that he thought he could jet down to Mexico for a few days and nobody would find out, that in itself demonstrates a huge lack of judgement.

Either that or he thought if people noticed, they wouldn’t care, which demonstrates an even deeper lack of judgement.

Now lay back on top of this the moral failing of fleeing to Mexico while people freeze to death, and on top of that, he tells two ridiculous lies.

His first instinct was to claim that he was escorting them down there, dropping them off, and flying back. Which makes no sense because his wife was there, it wasn’t like the children were going to fly unaccompanied if he didn’t go. And then predictably people find out that his original ticket was to return Sunday, along with the rest of them. That he called United and hastily arranged to fly back on standby.

Next, in a further effort to dodge accountability, he claims that the trip had been planned weeks or months ago, as if that would even make it understandable. And of course then the group texts between his wife and their friends come out, making it plain this was a spur-of-the-moment thing.

So he’s told two ridiculous lies, the types of lies a child would tell in an effort to evade blame.

Then he flies back and goes straight on Hannity, where Sean immediately tries to run cover for him, with the “there is such a thing as teleworking” loving bullshit.

Not that there was ever any doubt, but Cruz is a loving scumbag and yeah, it’s a wonder he didn’t resign, and it’s a wonder he could still believe that he’s a viable presidential candidate for 2024.

It’s no secret that the majority of Republican congressmen hate his guts, too. I sure hope at least some of the Texans who lived in the dark with no water now hate him, too.

Are you a BigMac of imbeciles!?
Currently suffering a mental breakdown and took a week off work to try and get my life back together, but things are so loving grim. I'm so sick of snow and -30 degree temps, and seasonal depression is working together with COVID to double team me.

I'll probably try to go back to ignoring the news for a while to recover, but God drat, this just goes to show how broken everything is. We just barely get Trump out of office and kinda sorta win the Senate, but we can't guarantee we will even get a $15 minimum wage in the next five years. gently caress, we can't even guarantee $11. Insurance is so broken, everything is expensive as hell, and making ends meet feels continually harder and harder.

Then you have disasters like what Texas is seeing and have morons cheering on the GOP and their lovely business practices being used to gently caress over the poor and middle classes, you've got dead kids on their hands due to negligence, and these fuckers will never be held accountable.

Then I see the impotence of Biden and the Democratic party and I just want to scream. I love the land and a lot of the people, but the American flag can kiss my rear end. People like AOC and Fetterman are the few things that give me any hope, but that hope is a really tiny light on the deafening void of Pandora's Box right now. gently caress everyone standing in the way of progress.

loving :lol: at this entire op ed I found on a right wing publication


quote:

Your Pediatrician Wants a Word—Alone—with Your Teen.

A Warning
Hard to believe, but I have a kid approaching driving age. He’s a wonderful boy, in every way. Devout, intelligent, and obsessed with basketball and video games, says his prayers every night before bed. Always reminds me to do penance on Fridays if I forget what day it is and eat meat (what day is this?). Anyway, the Catholic formation we attempted, albeit imperfectly, to impose on him took. It blossomed.
Our son is always dressed for sports practice. He asked for a new weight bench and plates for Christmas. He spent all of lockdown working out, just to make himself into a better basketball player. He measures himself every day and prays for more height. He is obviously, and very apparently, comfortable with all aspects of boyhood.
When it comes to his gender identity, the science is not only settled, but set in stone. You would have to be an imbecile not to see this instantly.

Or a pediatrician.

The Doctor Will Seize You Now

It started out as a normal annual checkup, until the pediatrician asked me to leave the room. I didn’t understand at first. “Why?” I asked. “There are some questions I need to ask him without you here.” “Like what?” “Oh, you know, about drugs and smoking.” I stared at her, my mind racing. I realized that if I refused, other issues would be raised. Red flags would be added to the chart. Why wouldn’t I want him to talk to a doctor? Was I hiding something? Did he have secrets I wanted kept secret? “Do I have to leave?” I asked, still stunned. “Yes, I need to ask him these things.” She stared at me not smiling. My longtime doctor who had always been attentive and kind, was suddenly swinging iron keys to my gulag cell while punching the number to Child Protective Services on her phone. 

Reader, I left. I lingered outside the door for a minute until a nurse ushered me into an empty storage room to wait, where I couldn’t eavesdrop. 

A few minutes later, the doctor slinked out and waved goodbye without a word. On the way to the car, the boy told me what happened. “She talked to me about drugs and alcohol. And she told me when I have sex to use a condom.” 
And finally, the kicker: “Then she asked me if I was comfortable with my gender.” 

Beware the Pedo-atrician

He thought the gender question was absurd and funny. But he was outraged about the condom question. “Mom, she told me to use birth control. Until I’m twenty-five! I’d be committing a mortal sin.” He’s so good. I don’t deserve him. I got angrier and angrier as we drove home. Here was this doctor my son had seen in person a total of five times in his life probing his most intimate secrets. Does the white coat magically melt away kids’ stranger danger and cause them to open up to middle-aged harridans holding clipboards? Guys, they really do want to separate you from your children and dictate their own agenda to them! It’s not just theoretical anymore. This time it’s personal. 

I realized too late that I don’t know anything about our doctor, I don’t know her beliefs or her politics, because it never occurred to me that a pediatrician visit would become political. 

How dare she decide to give a child an impromptu sex ed lesson without his parent’s permission. Would she recommend condoms to a young Muslim boy? Would she ask a Hasidic boy if he was comfortable with his gender? Condoms and premarital sex are literally against the Catholic religion. I realize many people think those edicts are dumb. Most people laugh at them and think we’re idiots to presume our children are actually chaste. “Kids are going to do it no matter what you say, you dumb religious fanatic.” Well guess what? Any rules that can help a child avoid catastrophic psychic damage are excellent rules and they work. 

Enjoy your daughter’s chronic chlamydia, years of heartbreak, and icing off all those genital warts before prom! I’ll be over here dandling my first grandchild on my knee in ten years.

Isn’t a pediatrician’s entire mission in life to keep kids healthy?  Do these nutty MDs really think it would be good and healthy for a ninth grader to be having sex? With other ninth graders? What about with eighth graders? Is an active sex life something they recommend for children, along with eating vegetables and using a car seat and wearing sunscreen? 
Call me old-fashioned but giving a child hot tips on how to make the most of their sex life—and doing it in a room alone with the kid after kicking the parent out—sounds like grooming.

They already teach kids how to use sex toys and more in our American middle schools, so I shouldn’t have been shocked by this relatively benign doctor visit. Some evil genius will soon launch a line of sex toys designed and marketed specifically for children. Size XXS anal plugs, with the letters of the alphabet on them for educational purposes. Maybe David Hogg can produce these after his pillow triumph! 

Doctor Demented

A Harvard gender studies professor born before 1980 would insist that our doctor was correct not to assume my son was happy as a boy. To these starched shirts, stereotyping children based on superficial things like playing basketball is wrong, since girls like sports too. According to this type of ancient progressive, assuming that my son is male because of activities he enjoys, or his favorite color, is sexism.

But those were last week’s woke progressives, Grandpx! This week, the best way to diagnose transgenderism is to take a cursory glance at how a kid acts on a playground and boom, vee cut off your johnson!

This video illustrates this dangerous stupidity. At around 1:40, a man dressed like a woman tells his five-year-old daughter that she is actually a boy because she likes to run around and not sit still “like a girl.” He informs the little girl, who is visibly uncomfortable around her creepy father “that’s called being transgender.”

Oh, you’re a girl who likes running and being loud? You’re a boy now. You’re a boy who likes playing quietly with stuffed animals? Your new name is Justine, Justin. You like basketball and worship Steph Curry? You’re obviously a boy.

Our pediatrician was still using the more nuanced, third-wave-feminist method of digging deep into a child’s secret identity. But the 2021 trans detectives have now lowered the threshold. They’re casting a much wider net, with the obvious goal of entrapping more children. The more trans children generated by their machine, the more clout, influence, power, and fame accumulates to the trans lobby. But I suspect that the true reason they want to make your kids trans is because it somehow eases their psychic pain. They’re like vampires hunting and biting children, so they can have playthings for all eternity.
No matter what, they are coming for the kids. We had the doors locked, the windows battened down, the chimney flue sealed shut, but the brainworms still got inside the house. 

Fortunately there is a vaccine to the diseases inflicted on kids by a depraved culture and by their doctors. It’s painless, and there are no adverse side effects. Faith in God is the only thing that can stop them, I’m afraid. It’s corny, I know, but there is no other way, and it still might not be 100% effective. You can only fight great evil with something powerful enough to counter it. 
My son’s health was protected by this invisible and mighty force field. Parents, activate your force fields immediately, before it’s too late. 
And you might need a new doctor.

At this point I don't see how anyone can rationally assume the right argues in good faith, or how they can take any right-wing "news" sources even remotely seriously. So, I pretty much dismiss any conservative reporting or counter-arguments out of hand, because they've become completely unmoored from reality and I'd rather not give their hypocritical whining even the tiniest shred of consideration.
I completely agree. I've recently realised that my avoidance of conservative media is kind of similar to the avoidance of liberal media, albeit with different causes i.e. an overwhelming glut of falsehoods and lies in conservative media vs. an overwhelming glut of falsehoods and lies in conser... ah gently caress, that's the same cause isn't it?

I've been living outside of the country for almost 4 years now and haven't been back once in all of that time. Aside from missing some comfort foods or cuisines I can't get here (eg cajun food), there hasn't been anything that makes me wish I was back in America. Whenever I've had to go to the hospital or had a medical emergency, it makes me especially thankful to have not been back in America. When I had a really nasty ear infection, it involved multiple doctor's visits, a CAT scan, etc which would have easily left me bankrupt in America.

What I'm saying is that everything seems to be conspiring against you to ruin your life if you are anything short of upper-middle class in America and it drives me crazy thinking not only do people not see that in America but actively cheer that on.
