MMR November 9 2023 - Fifty Points Behind

I find it hilarious when Media breathlessly speculate on who won the debate. None of them. That was always the answer.

This last round of elections also shows one thing, anti trans nonsense isn't working. Not only did some of their big agenda items get slapped, they lost Virginia, but there are other harbingers of the Magaflop. Moms for liberty is a straight up Nazi group. Not only for using Nazi quotes, but also for being hyper white supremacists whenever they have a chance. They were trying to infiltrate a bunch of school boards with their gutten frau members and got rebuffed. The whole anti trans shit they're peddling is so entirely off putting. It is not like they're representing the majority here. They're representing the most reprehensible people you can find. Noisy, dumb and on team Hitler for most part.

The ironic part of the whole 'parental rights' nonsense, is that they're not asking for all parents to have the right to decide over their families. No, that SOME idiot parents override all other parents rights to do what's best for the families. We see this in passing of laws that directly take away the right of parents to choose for their trans kids, and give the petulant brain rotten fuckers the right to spy on everyone else. Parental rights is just another instrument to cement their arbitrary morals on the rest of us.

Words can’t describe this level of willful ignorance.

I'm guessing she's with all of the other Republican supporters who wanted to know where Obama was, and what he was doing on 9/11

Read the room.

Clown show:

Republican spending bill implodes over 'embarrassing' birth control spat

Another government funding bill from Republicans was pulled on Thursday morning after many leaders refused to back several pieces of the bill, including one aimed at overturning a law that barred companies from discriminating against employees who use birth control.

The birth control plank was just one of dozens of amendments that were added to the bill from Republican lawmakers, as House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) pledged to pass the budget by the Nov. 17 shutdown deadline.

According to Politico, there were more than 100 amendments proposed in all, including some that drew rebukes from swing-district Republicans.

Rep. Max Miller (R- OH) called it “embarrassing" and "incredibly upsetting” that House GOP leadership had to pull the final passage of the funding bill, reported CNN's Annie Grayer. He went on to bash his colleagues for hyper-partisan amendments to bills that must pass to keep the government open.

The law being targeted by the House GOP is a local Washington, D.C. ordinance that prevents any employer from discriminating against a worker who seeks contraception or family planning services. The GOP bill would block that from taking effect.

In an interview Sunday, Johnson was asked by Fox's Shannon Bream about some of his extreme opinions and bills regarding birth control.

"I really don't remember any of those measures," he told her.

Speaker Johnson agreed to sponsor HR 431, which would ban birth control using the idea of "personhood," giving full legal rights to fertilized eggs. It would ban IUDs and other forms of birth control.

After the U.S. Supreme Court handed down the Dobbs decision, activists warned that birth control would be targeted, with far-right leaders seeking to block coverage of it or ban it entirely.

There is a lot of hand wrangling in UK over a peace march for ceasefire on Armistice day. Most rightwingers says it is not appropriate. Hmm, Armistice. Like, the day you lay down your guns. Ceasefire. I don't see it.

Selfish people gotta be selfish  

I guess it was Ivankas turn to take the witness stand and per usual she couldn't remember anything she did at the company. Just a big blank over the shit you should know as an executive. Especially with emails that showed she was involved. But her goto position was the regular, don't remember, so much corruption and criminal activity...lots of emails.

The continued unconditional support for Israel, is not supported by Americans.

66 percent overall want a ceasefire.

In most families the parents end up supporting the kids as they get through school. Not the Trumps. There they support their big L dad.

The House rejected an amendment Thursday that would have decreased White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s salary to $1.



The amendment, introduced by Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.), was defeated 257-165-1, with 54 Republicans joining all Democrats in going against the move.



In campaigning for the amendment, Tenney called Jean-Pierre a “liar” and “anti-Semitic.”



“During Ms. Jean-Pierre’s tenure as press secretary, she has repeatedly lied to the American people and acting in a condescending manner towards reporters and also violated the Hatch Act,” Tenney said on the House floor Thursday.



The Hatch Act prevents executive branch employees from advocating for political or commercial interests while on the job. Tenney pointed to Jean-Pierre’s use of the phrase “MAGA Republicans,” which a watchdog has said was a violation of the law.



Tenney’s allegations of antisemitism were based in a controversy this week when Jean-Pierre initially declined to discuss instances of people pulling down posters of Israeli hostages being held by Hamas. Jean-Pierre later denounced those actions.

MAGA republicans is a violation of the Hatch Act? Who else use that phrase. MAGA Republicans. They like the phrase. So if they want to be called as such, it is then a violation to refer them to what they want to be referred as? 

And she's antisemitic for not wanting to talk about a specific incident?

GOP keep reminding me just how Beta they are. The whole thing of reducing a salary to 1 dollar is so typical petty and dumb. They are incapable of legislating.
