nine-gear crow posted:Those dudes are great. It led me to a Tucker Carlson piece and it got me to thinking about Colin Powell. Tucker was quick to put Powell back on a pedestal when he died and could somehow shoehorn his death into an anti vax rant and all that goes with that where he circles back to Fauci, Biden and Pelosi. Here's the piece if anyone is curious and cares to subject themselves to this shill. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCGpjIrYXM4 But why do so many right wingers have such short memories? A vaccinated guy dies of COVID, ergo: vaccinations don't work. It's willfully dishonest and this dude has the highest rated show on cable news where he does this every night. Glenn Beck, OReilly and so many others in my OP have gone by the wayside but there's always 10 more right there willing to say anything for that money. I know the answer in this case but, gently caress me, Powell was persona non grata when he said he voted for Obama and I remember Rush aggressively saying it was only because they were both black. It was one of those "no one else will say it but I will" things and he made a big deal out of it. RWM is quite selective. I haven't seen a lot of segments on gas prices, for instance, or even the stock market unless it drops heavily during a given day, to where it's ignored again when it rebounds and gets back to normal the following day. But yesterday, it was Joe Biden's market. Remember when Obama was gonna do a Socialism FEMA fascism? The idea that what CNN and FOX does are two sides of the same coin is ridiculous but the fair and balanced crowd has done a remarkable job convincing most of the populace that it's true. MSNBC may have become what FOX has always said they are but I dunno cause I don't watch MSNBC or even much cable news. BiggerBoat fucked around with this message at 00:39 on Mar 3, 2023 |

Couldnt these heels get DeSantis arrested in the states he visits? Lindell introduces his Election Crime Bureau The site for it has no information on it except for a donate link https://twitter.com/AmericanaMama02/status/1631333207143763969 e: speaking of Ron Its the dont say bad things about Ron bill https://www.wfla.com/news/politics/florida-bill-would-require-bloggers-who-write-about-governor-to-register-with-the-state/ If you blog and receive compensation for it, you have to submit any articles to them or be fined up to $2,500. "In the bill, Brodeur wrote that those who write “an article, a story, or a series of stories,” about “the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, a Cabinet officer, or any member of the Legislature,” and receives or will receive payment for doing so, must register with state offices within five days after the publication of an article that mentions an elected state official." Its not like Ron has been known to go after people who have written bad things about him and banned them from his speaking arrangements. https://www.jacksonville.com/story/opinion/editorials/2020/03/30/banning-reporter/112254620/ OgNar fucked around with this message at 02:38 on Mar 3, 2023 |

The above post reminds me of something from my early college (read: dumb) days: the first time a professor told me the ACLU was considered a liberal organization, it blew my mind. See, all this time, all the conservatives around me had been telling me how deeply they care about upholding the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and yet an organization that has that literally as its entire purpose is liberal? I thought how in the hell is that possible? Ah, to go back to the days before I knew that was code for one Amendment in particular and the rest depends on your melanin content and what you prefer to orgasm to.

Freedom Cities Built either in National forests or the desert where no one would ever build anything because of lovely logistics. https://twitter.com/RonFilipkowski/status/1631744625919623187 Also, CPAC bombing out. Which kinda says the whole Trump/DeSantis thing may work out for the good of everyone. It takes the right wing nuts and splits them up until neither of them could ever hope to get elected. One can hope, right? https://twitter.com/BettyBowers/status/1631743647262691328

10 “Freedom cities” in federal land? L O fuckin L, who the hell has he been talking to put poo poo like that into his brain? Is he going to pull a ‘Chyna’ and just build an empty city in the middle of a national park in Wyoming or something?

California is getting serious about government run insulin manufacturing, and telling all of them to go gently caress themselves on pricing. At best I'll believe they're hoping to act contrite until all the furor dies down and stuff like that stops because "Oh see not a problem the prices aren't so high!" and they can go back to making thousands of percent profit.

The he gets us poo poo is surely an attempt to confuse young people who haven’t been directly exposed to that kind of religion before. It’s why they try to hide who they are. That’s a different market than those Kirk Cameron/Kevin Sorbo things, which are meant to get the fanatics excited and make them think they have some kind of meaningful culture/can consume pop culture garbage that’s made for them.

Like gently caress you you people are going to do anything about it even if you had some magiv solution that Liberal governments aren't privy too. They'll yell about it but they'd never ever do anything about it if given a mandate. Also apparently CPAC has just devolved into a Donald Trump circlejerk fest now so they probably can't get any George Bush or Ronald Reagan like conservatives to go their anymore if they havent just flat out banned anybody not in MAGA hat or Trump merch

The narrative against the trans woman in the Herseheys ad is so annoyingly consistent. It's like they are just copy/pasting the exact same talking point. "Fae Johnstone is a misogynist biological male who HATES WOMEN and made a fortune off the trans agenda. This is an insult to every biological woman worldwide!" Not surprisingly, these idiots wouldn't know jack poo poo about the other women featured in the commercial. For being so quick to call out alleged misogyny they don't seem to give a flip about those other women. https://www.them.us/story/hersheys-trans-ad-boycott

The effect is to privilege homeowners over renters but they couldn't structure it differently if they tried - Texas has no income or estate tax, the only tax relief they can give is property, or let families incorporate themselves as sales tax-exempt organizations.

Right wingers always claim to be anti war when a Dem is in power. That's been their big thing for a while now is "Trump ended wars without starting new ones, but then Joe started wars when he took office." They are all still desperate for war with China and Iran, they just don't want war with Russia because they like Russia.
