Living in a hellish fascist theocracy

The Fascist religious right in this country has stepped over the final line, and anyone currently living in the United States on June 24, 2022 is living in a right-wing fascist theocracy, meaning a government run by religion and unscrupulous "religious" leaders. 

The United States Supreme Court, infused by three justices rammed onto the court by the second worst world leader in recent world history, Donald Trump, overturned a 49-year precedent today, which stripped away the rights of half the population in the United States because, in the justice's opinions, women are not really citizens and can't be trusted to make decisions related to their own bodies.

This fascist right-wing theocratic court, formerly known as the Supreme Court of the United States, voted 6-3 (along party lines) to overturn the rights guaranteed to women in the 1973 ruling, Roe v. Wade.

Apparently, while SCOTUS was eager to make us all into religious citizens of a theocracy, they forgot that the separation of church and state is also guaranteed to all of us who live in this country. This ruling is a ruling that will force the entire country to live by the court's Christain religious views. 

Jews, Muslims, Agnostics, Atheists, Hindus, etc., in this country should be very afraid, because this fascist theocratic mob is coming for you! Same-sex marriage rights are in peril, the right of interracial couples to marry is again in doubt, the right to contraception is in peril, as well as due process. They might as well have poured gasoline on the United States Constitution and lit it on fire.

Justice Samuel Alito, one of the head fascists on the court, in his written opinion basically pissed on the 14th Amendment of the Constitution by saying that because abortion wasn't specified in the original text of the constitution, then it is not a right. Well keep this in mind, in the original text of the Constitution, black folks were considered property or 3/5th's of a person. 

It is insane to say or believe that if something was not specifically delineated in a 200-plus-year-old document, then it can't be a right. The founders could not have anticipated our modern society in their wildest of imaginations, so how can we read the Constitution strictly as it was written in the late 1700s. 

If you have diluted yourselves into believing that other rights besides abortion are not on the chopping block, then you have not been watching this fascist, theocratic court operate. They can ban any law in any state, overturn any right, and rewrite rules for themselves, thus eliminating the powers of the other two branches of government.

Forget about prolife and prochoice. This decision has nothing to do with that. This has everything to do with the SCOTUS using its authority to rule the country with an iron fist!!!!

But in case you still believe that this is about abortion. Here are the facts:

People who claim to be prolife are actually just pro birth. They do not care at all what happens to these children after they come out of the womb. Need proof? Fine, the same so-called pro-lifers are against food stamps for poor children, they recently opposed extending the child tax credit so children do not starve or have a place to live. They oppose child care assistance provided by the government, which would help parents go to work to provide for these children. They are against health care for all children because they support only health care for children whose parents can "afford" it, which is almost no one. EVERY time one of these things comes before Congress, the right wing theocrats in this country oppose it. So they do not care about children. That is the biggest load of dung ever perpetrated on the American public.

The same fascist death cult that is "pro" life also believes that we should have as many guns for killing others as possible on the streets and they are ardent supporters of the death penalty, which when applied incorrectly, can not be undone. PRO BIRTHERS are full of SHIT!

This is why voting is so important because when you vote in people like Mitch McConnell, and brain-dead idiots like Trump, who just go along with what the McConnell and other fascist theocrats like Ted Cruz and Mike Lee want, you get this gross version of what used to be the highest court in the land.

The seat currently filled by Neil Gorsuch was stolen by McConnell. He refused to seat President Barack Obama's pick in 1000-percent violation of the United States Constitution. Remember, he said he was not going to appoint Obama's pick because we were in an election year. Then when Ruth Bader Ginsburg died a month before the election in 2020, all of the sudden, that hypocrite forced pastor Amy Coney Barrett onto the Supreme Court to insure this outcome. 

SCOTUS, along with our democracy, was highjacked by these craven power-hungry fascists and this is just the tip of the iceberg. If you do not vote blue in 2022, we will never have a free and fair election again, as this court will allow your voting rights, especially the voting rights of blacks to be stripped from them. You can expect the rights of millions more Americans will be stripped away unceremoniously as they continue to urinate on the Constitution and tear it to shreds. I have never been more convinced of anything in my life. 

For the love of our country, VOTE!

I call BS on Gohmert!

Louie Gohmert, one of the sorriest excuses for a U.S. House of Representatives member from Texas, went on a rant during a recent hearing on gun reform, claiming that he was outraged by the fact that some Democrats said Republicans are siding with the gunmen in these all-to-common shootings. 

Gohmert asked his fellow members of the committee: Do you think we have no hearts? Let me answer for them. NOOO! He was upset because some Democrats said that "(Republicans) put our right to kill over other's right to live." Let me answer that one also: Absolutely True. And then he goes on about some non-sensical talking point about how cities are the most dangerous places and that they are all run by Democrats: I call BS on that on both counts (evidence below).  

Mr. Gohmert. It would be easier to believe that you are not complicit in murder if you passed some common-sense gun reforms, and let's be real, you have never done that. Spare me your thoughts and prayers, because they are even less genuine than you. I welcome prayers for the families when they are genuine, but at this point it is a Republican punchline that I'm sure is shared at NRA conventions. 

If you said, maybe we could raise the age to 21 for someone to buy a weapon of mass murder. That would be better. Maybe if you supported a background check that was standard across the country for anyone selling a gun, that would be better. Maybe if you put a ban on assault rifles, maybe than I could believe you, but you support none of those things. So, I am inclined to believe that you are here to make sure the gunmen can get a deadly war weapon the day he turns 18 and shoot up a school, church, nightclub, movie theatre, workplace, concert, supermarket, Walmart, synagogue. Is that enough or should I continue?

Then he says that all cities are controlled by Democrats. Lie. Numerous cities with high murder rates are being run by Republican mayors. Other ones that are being run by Democrats, just like their Republican mayorial counterparts, have little control over the inflow of guns into their states because although the gun laws are extremely strict in a place like Illinois, they are incredibly lax in all the surrounding states which allows criminals and gangs to send gunrunners into neighboring states to purchase all the illegal weapons that drug money can buy and bring it back to Illinois. I'm using Illinois because Chicago is in Mr. Gohmert's talking points. I saw him reading it off the screen in front of him. 

Here are the facts related to gun violence, of the top 15 states in America with the highest per-capita murder rate as a result of a gun, the top 13 are red states (Republican states) run by Republican governors and Republican legislatures.

Want some more Mr. Gohmert, or are you ready to cry uncle? Although, they blame gun violence on the pandemic, in 2017, nearly 40,000 Americans died as a result of gun violence - a 50-year high. That is a gun death every 13 minutes. Do the math. I believe government in 2017 was completely controlled by Republican authoritarians (President, Senate and House). True Statement.    

I included the list for Mr. Gohmert to view when he has a free second from being a blowhard bullshit artist. And anyone else can take a look as well. The states with the highest number of gun deaths, are, surprise, surprise, the states with the most guns. Shocking!

Per-Capita murder rate by state

So now all the lawmakers are doing a jig because they have a tentative framework on some gun reforms, that should drop that number from 40,000 per year, down to 39,500. Maybe they should pass something that means something or be voted out.

Here are the highlights of this so called "gun" reform bill. 

I will start with the one thing in it that means something. Including people who have domestic violence arrests and restraining orders on the national background check. This will help keep some people alive, especially domestic violence victims.

They are going to make an 18-year-old wait a couple of days before he can buy his AR-15's now. Meaningless. Ban them or raise the age. 

Financial incentives to get states to pass red flag laws. Red states will not do that. Meaningless. 

More money for mental health. Could be beneficial if used right, and Abott in Texas actually applies it to mental health. He cut hundreds of millions of dollars from mental health last year. Another BS artist. 

If you are waiting for the rest, then you will be waiting a long time because that is basically it.   

VOTE THEM OUT!      

Parents begging cowards for help!

Enough said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Do Something cowards!

Guns are the problem

In the summer of 2021, Texas governor Greg Abbott made purchasing a gun as easy as purchasing a drink at a convivence store, and predictably, an 18-year-old purchased a gun last week without any training, without a license, without a background check and then used that gun to slaughter 19 children and two teachers, AGAIN!

Fourth graders were slaughtered because Republicans made owning a firearm, especially a war weapon like an AR-15, as easy as can be.   

Let me make this clear, there is only one party in America too cowardly to protect elementary-aged school children from being gunned down while they learn, and it is the Republican Party!

Here are the facts that Republican Fascists do not want you to know:

1. Ninety percent of the American public wants a standardized federal background check.

This law would prevent certain states from making it easier for criminals and gang members from purchasing guns in Texas and Indiana and then bringing it elsewhere to sell at a markup or using them to commit crimes in states with real gun safety laws. 

2. Two thirds of the American Public support banning AR-15 style weapons or weapons of war or weapons of mass murder.

This law would not prohibit people from owning handguns for self-defense, and rifles for hunting, it would just get rid of weapons whose sole purpose is to kill and maim people, leaving them little chance of survival. 

3. Everyone, including most NRA members, believe people should be required to have gun safety training before purchasing a firearm. Right now, that is not the case in some red states. 

Why wouldn't people want all so-called responsible gun owners to have knowledge about something as potentially dangerous as a firearm. 

4. There is such a thing as a gun-show loophole, and it needs to be closed. I can purchase any weapon I want at a gun show as long as I am not buying it from a federal licensed dealer. Meaning if I have the cash, I get what I want. Personally, I was at a flea market in Florida, and saw people selling guns and gun parts and ammo to anyone who happened by regardless of whether they were eligible to purchase it or not, or a criminal or not.

ONE PARTY, and ONE PARTY alone, has made it ok to slaughter children in schools, people in churches, concert goers at a country music festival, people at a night club, people in bars, people in Walmart, or folks doing their groceries in Buffalo.

The Republican Fascists will offer their thoughts and prayers, and quite frankly they can shove those where the sun doesn't shine. Thoughts and prayers are a joke and a cliche at this point. You were elected to keep the American people safe. Do your JOB!!!!

As voters, you must vote to remove anyone from office with a A+ rating from the NRA, because what that means is that they refuse to discuss even the most common-sense gun safety legislation. That means they are corrupt because they are completely in the pockets of special interest gun lobby.

Do your job as voters and vote these people out who stand by as people slaughter living and breathing children.

Lastly, I can't help but see the irony that these same fascists who claim to be prolife (really pro birth) will do nothing as children are slaughtered almost daily to protect them.

VOTE ONLY BLUE in 2022. This might be the last ballot you cast if you do not.    

This is what a coward looks like!

What they really think!

South Carolina Lindsey Graham, who has carried the water for Donald Trump for the last six years, also believes, like I do, that Donald Trump is a vile scumbag, and that Joe Biden really is a good man despite his public pronouncements to the contrary.

Graham, who can only be described as a Trump sycophant in public, is anti-Trump in private - proof positive that Graham will tell any lie to consolidate corrupt power. 

Graham blames Trump for the insurrection and explains that Biden was the least threatening figure that could have assumed the Presidency following Trump's regime, who tried to overthrow the government and destroy the American Constitution.     

Graham is not alone in his disdain for Trump despite telling the Republican base destructive lies designed to radicalize with fear. House Minority leader Kevin McCarthy also publicly supported Trump, while in private telling his leadership that he would ask the twice-impeached conman from Florida, to resign following the January 6th attack on the Capitol by Trump's domestic terrorists.

We must do everything in our power to remove these craven, power-hungry liars from positions of leadership, by voting them out of office. 

Just because the orange maniac has been removed from power does not mean that the threat is gone. The Republican Party is loaded with orange monsters, some are just better at hiding it.

Vote Blue in 2022. It is the only way to save our democracy and our free and fair elections.  

Who is pro-grooming now?

It appears, based on a leaked opinion written by the United States Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, that Roe v. Wade (1973) is about to be overturned by the Trump/McConnell SCOTUS.   

Let's start by stating unequivocally that at least 3 members of the United States Supreme Court, the one's appointed by Trump and rushed through by McConnell, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett, are guilty of Perjury.

They lied under oath to members of the Senate to secure the votes for their nomination to a lifetime appoint and then did the exact opposite of what they said they would not do which is overturn Roe v. Wade. 

But we might as well forget the fact that they will be held accountable for their lies because no one in the modern American Fascist Party, formerly the GOP, is being held accountable for their crimes, big or small.

Let's instead just focus on what these criminals are about to do to the law of the land for the last 49 years, which has been reaffirmed by the US Supreme Court multiple times since 1973.

When they overturn Roe v. Wade, at least 29 state legislatures will pass laws making abortions illegal. They will feed you BS in all these states currently run by the American Fascist Party such as: 'we are not completely banning abortion, but you have 6 weeks to have an abortion, or we are going to end rape, but it's simply pure LIES, LIES, LIES.

The six-week window that some states are going to provide as their horseshit excuse as to why they are not fully banning abortion, is laughable. Most women do not even know they are pregnant six weeks into a pregnancy, so they might miss that window. A teenager, who is afraid to tell someone that they are pregnant, might also miss the window because in all likelihood they will drag their feet because of fear, especially if they can not approach their overly religious parents.

The next problem is that almost all of these states will make NO EXCEPTIONS for rape or incest. Simply put, this is insane. In some states in this country after this ruling goes through, rape victims will be required to carry their rapist's baby to term. But even more obscene than that is that incest victims will have to carry the baby of their rapist father or uncle to term. No trauma there I guess, huh? Who is pro-pedophile now?

Pure evil and power hungry, old men politicians like Governor Greg Abbott will tell you that he is now going to end rape in Texas.

There are two problems with Abbott's statement. First, you are not going to end rape. You may catch the perpetrator after the fact, but ending it is impossible. Secondly, his statement suggests that he could have ended rape before passing this gross bill in Texas, but instead chose not to end Rape. He might be even more certifiable than Marjorie Taylor Greene, and dumber than Trump. In both cases, not an easy task.

The other thing they will tell you is that they are prolife, but that is also a monumental lie. They are pro birth. That's it. They do not believe in any services to be provided for these children after they are born. Ask any so-called pro birth Republican Fascist if they believe in paid family leave, food stamps, health care for all children, prenatal care services, and they will say no. That's going to raise my taxes, so no I am not in favor of that. Given that reality, they are in no way prolife, simply pro birth.

Lastly what happened to the freedom argument. For the last two years I have heard about nothing else. I've heard crybaby, snowflake Republicans scream about why they should not be forced to wear a mask indoors during a world-wide pandemic that has killed over a million Americans, but making a child carry her rapist father's baby to term, that should be regulated by the government. NO MASKS, but trauma beyond understanding, the government should be able to force that.

This is so disturbing that I welcome all comments, because I am ready to take on all comers with insane arguments. Who will be the first to support people who commit incest? Who will be the first to defend rapists over rape victims?

This is exactly we have been talking about here for the last three to four years. Just because the orange monster has been thrust into the abyss, does not mean that the threat is gone. The extremists on the right have been arguing for this for decades. It pre-dates Trump by a lot. He just knew how to manipulate the dumbest among us. They even violated the U.S. Constitution in order to steal a US Supreme Court seat in order to make this happen. 

When Antonin Scalia died, Barrack Obama was entitled to replace him according to the Constitution, but again, Republicans only believe in the Constitution when it convenient for them, not when they are violating it. 

VOTE this collection of evil old men out. It is f****** long overdue! Vote blue in 2022! There is no choice. It might be your last free and fair election in America, if you do not.

Satan is controlling you MTG

One of the more outspoken members of the GOP's Insane Caucus in the House of Representatives, Marjorie Taylor Greene, amazingly keeps finding ways to out crazy herself.   

Last week, Greene, who claims to be a Christian (follower of Christ), said this about the Catholic Church in an interview. 

Greene said that the Catholic Church was being controlled by Satan because it is actually trying to abide by the teachings of Jesus Christ in the gospel. Christ taught us to love one another, and help the less fortunate, which is what the Catholic Church, in this instance, is trying to promote in regard to migrants who are coming to the United States to seek asylum.

These migrants are trying to leave deplorable conditions in their home countries and come to the United States to avoid being murdered by drug cartels, and so their daughters, some underage, are not forced to become prostitutes and alike. Greene is not having any of that. 

This so-called Christian, who likes to call people who believe that gay and trans kids should not be the targets of violence and bullying, groomers, but she is proving herself to be an advocate for sex traffickers. She wants migrants to go back to these countries to be killed or trafficking by the cartels. 

Greene makes it clear in this interview, that the teachings of Christ only apply in instances when it does not interfere with our laws (man-made laws). Jesus would have something to say about that Klan Mom. Christ made it clear that you should try to live by man's rules (government rules) as longs as man's laws do not interfere with God's laws. 

The King James Bible reads the following in Mark 12:17. "And Jesus answered and said to them, 'render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.' And they marveled at him."

It turns out the Marjoie had nothing correct in this interview, because as it turns out, asylum seekers who are coming to the border and presenting themselves at a point of entry to apply for asylum, is actually the current law of the United States and has been for some time. And there is nothing Greene can do about that unless she gets a majority of reps and Senators to change the law. We know however, she did not come to Congress to actually get legislation passed, she just came to say stupid stuff and get hits on right-wing cult news channels.

One can't help but weep for the people who call themselves Christians, but at every turn do the opposite of what Christ taught, to instead service this right-wing cult that has permeated into evangelical teachings and some congregations.

It's a good thing that Poland, Romania and Hungary, among others, border Ukraine and not the United States. The Poles and Romanians have welcomed its neighbors from war-torn Ukraine. If it were us, we would definitely tell them to go home to die.  

Let's end this post with another verse that might help Greene understand why she is in fact working not for God but the Devil himself.

Romans 12:13 "Contribute to the needs of God's people, and welcome strangers into your home."
