Brought to you by the same guys who cry

"you can't even have sex with women anymore bc what if she consents then decides afterwards that it was rape?"

UnicornsRockUK @unicornsrockuk.bsky.social · 2d

She's been jailed - to be raped every night.

She's in a male jail. Despite living as female since she was 13.

If you feel shame from having sex with a hot girl, that's a "you" problem, not the girl's problem.

A man gets a blowjob from a trans woman and his friends make fun of him so he goes to the police to claim she lied about being a woman. She was convicted of sexual assault and sentenced to nearly 2 years in prison because of a man's shame.

the gop is going to try their damndest to make it illegal to be a democrat. and this is why as effective as the health care attack is, it cannot be the only thing democrats talk about.

Kevin M. Kruse @kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 1d

The House Majority Whip is also insisting that a peaceful "No Kings" demonstration is in fact a "hate America rally" held for the "terrorist wing" of the Democratic Party.

Really feels like they're trying to manifest a violent reaction to it.

Emmer: "This is about one thing and one thing alone -- to score political points with the terrorist wing of their party, which is set to hold a hate America rally in DC next week."

So the Dem proposal would take away $50b and give back $1500b? Someone who is good at economy please help me budget this my rural hospitals are dying.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Mike Johnson: "Their counter-proposal CR would spend $1.5t and take away the $50b that we passed into law just on July 4 to prop up rural hospital. Who cares about healthcare here?"

They're paid better BECAUSE they're ignorant and unprofessional. The guys paying their salary want people not bright enough to see the evils of the empire, or unscrupulous enough to not care.

FFS "antifa" is just a bunch of guys.

It's not an organization. It's people who don't like what the government is doing to it's own people.

My media colleagues in this country are so fucking stupid.

These thirty seconds show a scandal of unbelievable proportion and it might as well never have happened. Just sucked into the vacuum of history immediately. I can't dwell on it or I'll go crazy.

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

Credit where credit is due. The Democrats' message that the GOP shut down the government because they want to throw millions of people off healthcare has broken through. Two of my cousins who are NOT AT ALL tuned into national politics told me that this is why the government is shut down.
