They just get worse and worse

I can't say Ms Li's reference to "actual commies" impresses me greatly, since Putin and his colleagues make no secret of their admiration for Ivan Ilyin, the Russian fascist philosopher and admirer of Hitler, whom Putin has rehabilitated and tried to sanitise as a prophet of Russia's national destiny.

Cawthorn, though, like the other MAGA grotesques in Congress, and like Trump himself, is exactly the sort of clown with whom Putin's United Russia party packs the Duma, and their role is pretty much the same -- to discredit the whole idea of representative democracy by turning the whole thing into a sideshow no one can take seriously.

Random twitter selection is to blame. I just picked the first thread to come up on the topic. I wasn't all that interested in the twitter poster.

She could have made the same analogy with fascism, since the far right are always calling Biden a dictator, the Dems fascists, and let's not forget their horrendous appropriation of Holocaust imagery.
"The real fascists are calling us fascist".
So I guess she just didn't know. Russia was synonymous with communism in the US consciousness for a very long time.
She probably got it from her parents.

Vaccine disinformation and mockery spread by the House Judiciary (Committee of the) GOP.
Will stories like this move them?
Nah. You've got to have a heart or a conscience for that.

Booster shots offer very good protection against COVID.

They're less effective, however, when it comes to sepsis.

From the Wapo Article

Throughout his life, Dale Weeks was characterized by family and friends in Iowa as “a good neighbor,” someone who would do anything for anyone. So when he was diagnosed with sepsis last month, the retired schools superintendent and his family hoped he would get immediate care and be okay to reunite with them for the holidays.

But at a time when unvaccinated covid-19 patients have again overwhelmed hospitals because of the fast-spreading omicron variant, finding an available bed at a large medical center able to give him the treatment he needed proved to be difficult. Weeks was being treated at a small, rural hospital. He had waited 15 days to be transferred to a larger hospital with better treatment options, because facilities throughout Iowa did not have an open bed for him as a result of the latest hospital surge of unvaccinated patients, his children told The Washington Post.

A booster shot wouldn't have helped sepsis.
More people in his area getting booster shots, and not needing the hospital so that he could get a beef in the one that could've given him the right treatment, would have.

We all know that Christmas is a stolen holiday. I guess it continues to irk them.

We all know that Christmas is a stolen holiday. I guess it continues to irk them.

It comes just after Solstice, perhaps 3 days after which is just long enough to say "Yup, the sun is definately coming back". Easily half the world marks this occasion with ... something. But I guess this would involve actual openness to other culturals, a knowledge of religion outside of Christianity, and thought processes, so of course it's irksome.

They're just full of the peace, joy, and goodwill of the season, aren't they?

Donald Trump Jr. tells young conservatives that following Jesus’ command to ‘turn the other cheek’ has ‘gotten us nothing’ – Baptist News Global

Donald Trump Jr., one of the nation’s foremost apologists for the win-at-all-costs politics of his father, told an evangelical Christian crowd Dec. 19 that they’ve spent half a century turning the other cheek as Jesus taught and it hasn’t worked out for them.

baptistnews.com

Disrespecting Jesus at Christmas. Does Junior think his dad is the messiah? Or himself?

 

[Romana]

But wait, there's more!
With Christmas passed, I guess we're into the fictional "War on prayer" now.


(I didn't want to link directly to the jerk's tweet)

I don't suppose he understands the difference between one's own prayers (not controversial) and thinking everyone should pray the same way (yeah, you could say that's controversial. That pesky Constitution thing, USA know).

I have a special cactus right here that MTG can go fuck herself with!

She wants to go down in history as the person who started the second Civil War.
If there was a "national divorce", the red states divorcing should have to pay alimony.
At a minimum, they should pay for the Democrats and liberals they so hate to be relocated and find new jobs.
Then they'd find that this were still just as messed up, if not more so, and they'd have to find someone else to hate.
And they wouldn't be able to ask for any help from Washington DC.

If the south seceded from the rest of the country it would probably be for the best at least for the north. The south might find out they don't like it though.

Agreed. Confexit would result in a third world backwater community bordering the Royal Commonwealth of Louisiana which would hold a fragile alliance with the Most Holy Texan Empire. The question will be who’s willing to absorb the mass exodus from Florida as the coastline steadily approaches Georgia.

MTG's personal account Suspended from Twitter permanently.

Twitter suspended a personal account for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene after "repeated violations" of the Covid-19 misinformation policy, the company said Sunday.

"We permanently suspended the account you referenced (@mtgreenee) for repeated violations of our COVID-19 misinformation policy," Twitter said in a statement. "We’ve been clear that, per our strike system for this policy, we will permanently suspend accounts for repeated violations of the policy."

Greene, R-Ga., appears to still have access to her professional account, @RepMTG, but Twitter did not say what was tweeted to earn a permanent suspension.
