Again a very likpatous story
Oh drat, I remember Josh Duggar being in the news a couple of years back for molesting his younger sisters, and he talked about how he was so totally sorry and prayed to Jesus to forgive him and all the right wingers at the time were going "Sure he made a mistake but he's changed now thanks to God, quit criticizing him!"

e: Oh yeah, as far as the Duggars and their group go, they belong to Quiverfull, an organization that essentially says women should live their entire lives pregnant. It's based on a verse in Psalms that says that a man that has many children is blessed as if he had a quiver full of arrows. They obviously are anti-birth control and abortion and think married couples should always be trying to have more kids. This is a bit distinct from Catholicism which is also of course anti-birth control but they're more "Don't deny the possibility of having children" rather than "Literally always be having children," plus Catholics use Natural Family Planning which is keeping up with your wife's menstrual cycle so you can tell when she's more and less likely to get pregnant, which is something Quiverfull also is against. So while you see Catholic families with five or six kids being pretty normal, with the Quiverfull group it's more like 10+ kids.

Yeah it's their way of banning critical race theory as well as stuff like the 1619 Project. For the record, apparently according to the related tweets on that one posted, Idaho has already passed a bill banning those things.

My mom got weird about employees at the grocery store having their pronouns on their nametags, I'm like isn't that the NUMBER ONE scenario you would want that information? The kind of momentary, professional face-to-face interaction where you need to be visually reminded of the person's name seems like a great time for pronouns to be laid out as well.

But you see they're being so insistent and in-your-face about it and how dare they.

At least that's what I've gathered from people that are against even bothering to learn much less use someone's preferred pronouns.

Oh, and if you're wondering how 2 parents take care of 10+ kids... they don't. The older children have essentially full time jobs taking care of the younger ones, a type of child abuse called "parentification". The lifestyle literally doesn't work without abusing children. Realizing this is what took me from "kinda weird but if that's their thing have at it" to "Quiverfull delenda est".

I hate local media so much. They are not outright right wing media but they cannot try to hold local Chud politicians accountable without the local chuds throwing a giant fit.

We have local politicians that make our county a “gun sanctuary county” or fight Covid restrictions or fight culturally responsive teaching and the local news media just reprint their poo poo without an ounce of critical thought. Now, one of them is running for Governor so he gets no pushback whatsoever.

One local paper criticized him in the op Ed section back in the early Covid days for his anti-restriction rallies and they ended up having to put an apology out because they did not want to give the appearance of picking sides after the chuds went after them.

if you still pay for cable, you should also tell them you want them to not have Fox, also make the same noise at public places that have cable news on TV. (lol at TLC or e! VH1 reality trash being better but here we are)

That or demand that they black out his timeslot (if such a thing is even contractually allowed), and failing that, cut the cord.

(Actually just cut the cord anyway, what the are you even watching that's worth a $50/mo TV package?)

Fairness Doctrine was only ever a thing for broadcast and the only reason it was a thing for broadcast was because of television regulations justified by the physically-limited availability of airwave frequency ranges. It has never applied to premium pay TV.

An insider told The Sun: "Jim Bob told all his kids and their spouses on Thursday morning that Josh would be arrested imminently.

"He asked them all to pray for Josh and Anna, and trust that God would bring them closer together through the tough time.

"He also asked them to not speak publicly about the arrest or any issues with Josh."
