Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I really should read my own blog.

Let’s show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Let there be snark.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. don’t touch it.”

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Russia bombs Ukraine’s maternity hospitals; Republicans in the House can’t sort out supporting Ukraine.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Fight them, without becoming them!

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Glad to see john eastman going through some things.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

Another missed opportunity for Jamie Dimon to just shut the fuck up.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

Israel is using food as a weapon of war. Unforgivable.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Bobby Jindal Says Horrible Things: Part 82

FacebookTweetEmail

We get it: Bobby Jindal is desperately trying to be relevant. But man has he chosen a horrible way to do it. The Louisiana governor blamed the Oregon community college shooting on video games (we’re desensitized to violence), abortion (we don’t value human life) and bad parenting.  And what he had to say to the shooter’s father, who is dealing with a great deal, is just cruel:

“This killer’s father is now lecturing us on the need for gun control and he says he has no idea how or where his son got the guns.” … “Of course he doesn’t know,” Jindal said. “You know why he doesn’t know? Because he is not, and has never been in his son’s life. He’s a complete failure as a father, he should be embarrassed to even show his face in public. He’s the problem here. He brags that he has never held a gun in his life and that he had no idea that his son had any guns,” Jindal continued. “Why didn’t he know? Because he failed to raise his son. He should be ashamed of himself, and he owes us all an apology.”

So much for a compassionate conservative.

Team Blackness also the murder of yet another trans woman of color (that makes 18 this year), more stupidity out of Ben Carson’s mouth, and Obama’s apology to Doctors Without Borders.

    Hopefully, President Obama does more than just apologize for the hospital bombing. There needs to be an investigation and assurance that such unnecessary mistakes won’t happen again.

    Good for jindal. A society that kills unborne children certainly breeds a lack of respect got human life that leads in no small part to these mass shootings

    Perhaps someone should inform this idiot that the father was not the custodial parent, and that the person who was the custodial parent is the one who is a f’king gun nut.

    Just sayin’

    Let’s run this through the Wingnut Dogwhistle Translator, shall we?

    His dad was black. What else do you expect from black men? They always run away from the kids they father. Of course the kid ended up a killer. They all are. They kill us and rape our women.

    Hope that helps.

    he had no idea that his son had any guns,” Jindal continued. “Why didn’t he know? Because he failed to raise his son. He should be ashamed of himself, and he owes us all an apology.”

    So if he had properly raised his son, he would know that his son had guns. Then what? The implication seems to be that if he knew, he would have taken his son’s guns away and prevented the massacre. Is Jindal saying we should take people’s guns away?

    @CONGRATULATIONS!:

    His dad was black. What else do you expect from black men? They always run away from the kids they father. Of course the kid ended up a killer. They all are. They kill us and rape our women.

    The father was white. The mother was black woman and an apparent gun nut. Your supposed Dogwhistle Translator is busted.

    I don’t know, maybe she had fantasies of seeing herself as a Sarah Connor Terminator type mom.

    Laurel Harper once wrote on her now-deleted Facebook page about her gun collection.

    “I moved from So. Calif. to Oregon, from Southern Crime-a-mania to open carry. An open carry law won’t work everywhere. And when the mood strikes, and as long as we’re tossing around brand names, I sling an AR, Tek-9 or AK over my shoulder, or holster a Glock 21 (not 22), or one of my other handguns, like the Sig Sauer P226, and walk out the door. I find the shotguns are a little too cumbersome to open carry,” Harper wrote in September 2014.

    http://heavy.com/news/2015/10/chris-harper-mercer-mother-mom-laurel-harper-facebook-guns-yahoo-father-torrance-california-oregon-guns-stockpile-nurse-mental-illness/

    But it is too easy to jump to conclusions and dumbass stereotypes. Somewhat understandable as part of the frustration over the issue of guns, but still wrongheaded.

    The mother was a nurse, answered a boatload of questions online about Aspergers, seemed to move her son to Oregon so he could be more in nature, and (except for the gun thing) did not seem to be oblivious to her son’s difficulties.

    ETA: Bobby Jindal is still a fool.

    It’s really very simple, just as the PPACA is the worst thing since slavery (thanks to Idiot-Savant Ben Carson), people who favor gun control are worse than mass murderers (Carson came close to saying this the other day). Jindal, like all Modern Republicans is incapable of rational thought on the subject of guns. In Jindal’s pantheon, surely no one is more exalted than those who have given their lives to the 2nd Amendment (that is “to” not “for”) — the only truly essential right, and surely the one most dear to Jesus. As long as everyone is armed and has plenty of ammunition, there is no injustice that can’t be rectified by a gun nut willing to stand his (or her) ground.
