Why does this vote by republicans surprise anyone?

AOC says her office struggles to keep up with the 'astronomical' level of daily threats that she receives: NYT

Since last year, Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez has spent over $120,000 on security protection, according to data examined by The New York Times.

The way the right has used her as a propaganda focus is way beyond creepy, as we've talked about before.

I guess no one can call them hypocrites?

I guess no one can call them hypocrites?

Considering that when Sally hit his own district, he and his fellow florida republicans put getting fema aid dependent on our republican mayor overturning his mask mandate [which was some fine BS work on the part of said mayor and our city council*], and driving him to leave politics.

* Our mayor is a 'powerful' mayor. However, what was done was Mayor cancelled mask mandates in town, city council then said 'No sir, they are staying' and he is like, 'aw shucks, can't do anything about that then'. However, they drove him to quit after one term, because 'his own party politicized sensible health precautions'. One of the few republicans I'd still vote for, because he did his best by us.

Also, our city politics are non-partisan; so didn't know his party until that point.

Thankfully, I'm probably only related to her by marriage - why are most of my relatives schmucks [Loesch is one of the names on my tree not too far back, and iirc, her crappy nazi-punk spouse is from the right area... ]

To be clear here, Prager isn't trying to argue that incest is acceptable, he's trying to argue that the only actual source for the notion that incest is bad is the Bible, and therefore you can't possibly genuinely believe incest is wrong without acknowledging the moral authority of the Bible and the Christian God.

There's a whole slew of double-recessive disorders that a child of direct blood siblings would have a significantly higher chance of inheriting.

Prager is obviously a product of many generations of inbreeding himself.

Arizona GOP Candidate Arrested For Allegedly Masturbating In Truck Near Preschool

Maricopa County officials say it's too late to remove Randy Kaufman from the ballot in the race for a college district board.

Kaufman, who told police he worked as an officer with the Arizona Department of Corrections for 27 years, said he didn’t know there was a preschool just feet away, according to the report.

“Are you going to put that in the report?” the officer said Kaufman asked.

“Don’t you see how alarming that is?” the officer responded, according to the report. “That there are children nearby, people passing on bikes and in cars where they can look and see what you are doing?”

In a Facebook post from May, Kaufman said he wanted “our children protected [from] the progressive left.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene Tries to Take a Stand for ‘Confederate Soldiers’ Using Monument to Union Troops

The MAGA-loving lawmaker was forced to heavily edit her confused Truth Social post.

www.thedailybeast.com

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene tried to make a show of herself standing up for Confederate soldiers and “our nation’s history” on Tuesday night but failed spectacularly and instead revealed her own confusion about the Civil War. The MAGA representative visited the Wilder Brigade Monument in Georgia to claim that the memorial recognizes “Confederate soldiers.” But despite Greene’s apparent rush to pay her respects to what she believed was a Confederate monument, the monument actually pays tribute to Union troops that battled the Confederates.

I think its more they want to protect themselves from the 'progressive left' [ie, the center/center-right sane people that passes for US 'Left'] who would happily throw people like him into jail cells [or punt them into active volcanos - have I mentioned why I decided NOT to become a GAL?]

Evil fucking assholes, the lot of them.

"Didn't know?" He'd have to be deaf as a post... every preschool in my zipcode can be heard from two blocks away during business hours.

What a name. "Francisco Franco the Fascist."

What next? Robby Wreckums the Republican? Danny Deflecto the Democrat, Thad Thumbchopper the Theocrat, Gary Goofbal the Green, Larry Lazyeye the Libertarian, Ida Iffy the Independant... ?

Ah, so it's Republicans that are the reason why can't we have nice things.

As I understand it, they don't even have any reason to hear an appeal - the previous court made a decision to not even hear the case, so there was no ruling to appeal.
