Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

When we show up, we win.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Fani Willis claps back at Trump chihuahua, Jim Jordan.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

Never forget that he train is barreling down on Trump, even as he dances on the tracks.

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

Trump makes a mockery of the legal system and cowardly judges just sit back and let him.

Florida GOP: The word “uterus” is “inappropriate for children and other guests.”

This post is in: Republican Stupidity, Vagina Outrage

FacebookTweetEmail

Hell hath no fury like a vagina scorned.

The GOP is scared of your crotch, ladies. I’m serious.

Last week, during a debate on Florida legislation that would prevent union dues from being automatically deducted from government paychecks, Scott Randolph (D-Orlando) used his time during floor debate to call the GOP out on their hypocrisy. He pointed out that the GOP is staunchly “small government” when it comes to business, but “big government” when it comes to the little guy and their own pet interests — like lady parts.

At one point Randolph suggested that his wife “incorporate her uterus” to stop Republicans from pushing measures that would restrict abortions. Republicans, after all, wouldn’t want to further regulate a Florida business.

Apparently the GOP leadership of the House didn’t like the one-liner.

They told Democrats that Randolph is not to discuss body parts on the House floor.

“The point was that Republicans are always talking about deregulation and big government,” Randolph said Thursday. “And I always say their philosophy is small government for the big guy and big government for the little guy. And so, if my wife’s uterus was incorporated or my friend’s bedroom was incorporated, maybe they (Republicans) would be talking about deregulating.

It’s not like I used slang,” said Randolph, who actually got the line from his wife. He said Republicans voiced concern about young pages hearing the word uterus.

“I think it’s a sad commentary about what we think about sex education in the state,” he said.

He’s right. We all know that. According to the Teabilly Doctrine, the government should be teeny-tiny when it comes to regulating big business. But when it comes to lady business, the government is so fucking big that I wouldn’t be surprised if the military starts forcing women to quarter soldiers in their vaginas.

IT COULD HAPPEN.

::ahem::

Here’s what Katie Betta, the Florida GOP spokeswoman — woman! — had to say:

The Speaker has been clear about his expectations for conduct on the House for during debate. At one point during the debate, he mentioned to the entire House that members of both parties needed to be mindful of decorum during debate.

Additionally, the Speaker believes it is important for all Members to be mindful of and respectful to visitors and guests, particularly the young pages and messengers who are seated in the chamber during debates. In the past, if the debate is going to contain language that would be considered inappropriate for children and other guests, the Speaker will make an announcement in advance, asking children and others who may be uncomfortable with the subject matter to leave the floor and gallery.”

So not only do Republicans hate women, they’re actually afraid of us! But why?!

Ladies, I think they’re not telling us something. The reason that they are fighting for control over our plumbing is — is — well fuck, I don’t know what it is, but it’s something. There’s got to be an explanation. Maybe our vaginas contain booty? Like gold dubloons and stuff? We have to investigate.

Quick! Grab your specula and a mirror! Go spelunking in your ladyholes! There’s gotta be something valuable in there! Go! Go! Go!

Wait–

I THINK I JUST FOUND THE LOST CITY OF ATLANTIS IN MINE!! Holy shitsnacks!

And what the–

could it be — THE KENNEDY ASSASSINATION FILM!?

John Mayer was right! My body is a wonderland!

That’s it. Dudes, I’m so outta here. I’m moving into my uterus.

In other news, the spite babies are doing just fine. And, given the GOP’s squirmishness with vaginae, I’ve decided to name the newborns Uterissa, Ovareen, Fallopiana, Cervixa, and Vagine. Thankfully, they are all baby girls, so there are 5 more sets of lady parts out there — FEAR THEM, GOP!

This is a form of cultivated prurience, like putting little aprons on the nether regions of piano-legs.

    Well, considering that John McCain referred to his wife as a c**t in public, it might just be the scientific terminology that upsets them, because they hate science. The C word and the P word are perfectly acceptable to be used around young conservative children, especially when it’s daddy yelling them at mommy, preferably while drunk. Family values.

    “quartering soldiers” – possibly the first time anyone has invoked the Third Amendment in a blog post? Also, too, your idea of moving into your uterus isn’t all that novel, since the Florida Republican party pretty much has its collective head up its asshole.

    Correction – I see now that The Onion did a story three years ago on the National Anti-Quartering Association (“America’s foremost Third Amendment rights group”). There is nothing new under the sun …

    Florida Republican legislators are doing their damnedest to make a name for themselves as the most bone-stupid collection of mouth-breathers in the US. And yet–and this is truly terrifying–they’re the sane ones compared to our illustrious governor. I really wish that we could divide Florida along the I-4 corridor and let the southern half secede to form the state of Not-Fucking-Insane Florida.

    The wingnuts have even got the conservative scold Michael Medved scratching his head over how they demand a small domestic government to run a nation of 310+ million, yet at the same time expect Uncle Sam to stick his nose into the internal affairs of even other country on the planet when it comes to foreign policy.

    @West of the Cascades: There was a Third Amendment case a few years ago. IIRC, an Army officer was being transferred to a base near his father’s home. There wasn’t going to be space in the BOQ for some time, so the base commander told him to stay with his father. Dad decided to make a Third Amendment case out of it.
    I probably have some of the details wrong, but that’s the gist of it.

    Let me see if I’ve got this:

    It’s perfectly acceptable for fringy idiots to refer to themselves as teabaggers but non-euphemisms for the female anatomy are taboo?

    I’ve long thought that wingnuts were against “sexual education” because they sincerely believed that sex ed classes would involve teaching people how to fuck — like by showing pr0n clips in class or having guest speaker Ron Jeremy give a seminar. Or having the students break off into group discussions that devolve into orgies. you know, like home ec.

    Sounds like the wingers who weren’t homeschooled didn’t pay attention in class (shock, surprise) to learn basic anatomy. I think these morans think uterus is same thing as vagina. It’s all the same scary thing!

    Time to start sending them pictures, ladies, of our big, hairy uteri!!

    If you had vocalized your retort on the house floor, the Florida GOP would be so stunned they wouldn’t know what to do or say, except gasp. Then a minute or two later, after they’ve gained their “composure,” they’d do what they always do: go off on a hyperbolic self-righteous rant for days on end.

    But what great fodder for late night comedians!

    There are still a few hold-outs who try to claim that teabagger is a noble group name — that it’s just those silly moonbats trying to turn a perfectly good word into an icky sex act of teh ghey.

    As I remember it, that idiot JimRob (affectionately known as “RimJob”) at the Freak Republic was the first to run with the “teabagger” reference in earnest. Only he and his minions would be stupid enough to go with that moniker.

    I knew it would all end in tears. They tried to spin it around when they realized what they did “teabag THEM before they teabag US”, but the effort was sadly deflated from the gate, because the mock held.

    Great! No more blathering about (scuse my French, ladies; cover your ears, kids) abortion in the Florida legislature. What a relief; I thought they’d never shut up about it.

    @Angry Black Lady:

    “Nether Regions” is also acceptable in mixed company; “Naughty Bits” is a risque alternative for all-male company.

    It’s true. We are entering a new Gilded Age, with a Victorian attitude toward sex and women. The beginning of the first GA is marked by the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad. The new GA will be kicked off by the premiere of the Taggart Transcontinental railroad. The difference is that the second is based entirely on fiction, and bad fiction at that.

    I’d like to see the numbers on how often the Speaker has had the gallery cleared, because of “inappropriate” subject matter. And even if guests were cleared, those young impressionable (presumably over the age of 18) pages and staffers would still have to sit there and have their brains polluted. BTW, aren’t the people objecting the same ones who want to force doctors to show underage pregnant girls pictures of dead fetuses? That’s one strange code of decorum right there.

    @Brian S (formerly Incertus): If you do, you’ve got to be so wingnutty that you get on a Fox TV news report about the caucuses.

    Just make sure you tell us about it. Might tune in to Fox News (which I avoid like the plague) to see it.

    Best of luck!

    @Anne Laurie: That does explain it. I used to live there, when in military, and it does have more than its share of loud assholes.

    Love those beaches, though.

    When maturity is considered a disease we get people like the GOP speaker. It really is stunning to see just how many so called “adults” are far more immature than elementary children.

    “Uterus” is not a melodious word. I’m just sayin’. However, “Vagina, vagina dentata” is a smoove phrase, especially when sung to the tune of…hell, I don’t know what the real song is. The one that goes, “Da DA da, da DA da, da DA da…da DA da da da da.”

    A person who was then learning English once explained to me that she was having a problem (hyperplasia) with her “baby house.” I found that rather sweet, but couldn’t stop picturing little shingles and windowboxes and garden hoses and suchlike.
