The wife of an Iowa Republican who ran for Congress in 2020 was arrested Thursday and accused of casting 23 fraudulent votes for her husband.

In an 11-page indictment, prosecutors say Kim Phuong Taylor "visited numerous households within the Vietnamese community in Woodbury County" where she collected absentee ballots for people who were not present at the time. Taylor, who was born in Vietnam, then filled out and cast those ballots herself, the indictment alleges, "causing the casting of votes in the names of residents who had no knowledge of and had not consented to the casting of their ballots."

Taylor is also accused of signing voter-registration forms on behalf of residents who were not present. In all, prosecutors charged her with 26 counts of providing false information in registering and voting, three counts of fraudulent registration, and 23 counts of fraudulent voting.

Wow. Lie, cheat, grift, steal, rinse, repeat. Whatever gets your boat to float in a puddle with a teaspoon of muddy water, am I right?

Between Republicans' refusal to get vaccinated for Covid, and their desire to get lung cancer just to "own the libs", we won't need to worry about who they nominate for President in 2024. There won't be enough of them alive to vote him in.

That's the point behind voter suppression, gerrymandering and packing the Supreme Court, though -- they know they find it difficult to persuade people to vote for them, so they need to hold and retain power by other means.

This utterly offends and disturbs me as a Catholic and is not how I was taught or raised. The widespread pedophilia and far right extremist horrors are despicable, tragic and absolutely disgusting. None of this is in keeping with the ideals of faith I was taught to live by - Golden Rule, humility, kindness, charity to our fellow humans, animals, and the world, cherishing and protecting the innocence and vulnerability of children.

That's really curious; I'm not going to bother to watch their video, but that one video thumbnail appears to suggest that they reject some major conservative figureheads like Dennis Prager, Ben Shapiro, and Lindsey Graham among others. Imagine how far over the falls you have to be to think that freaking Dennis Prager is just a puppet of the evil Jewish Conspiracy.

Oh, that's just standard behaviour for Catholic Nazis right now.

They're Nazis who also want to be Catholics - but the current pope is publicly speaking out against fascism, so they're siding with their fascist leaders instead of the pope, which results in them compensating by being extra-antisemitic.

The Bathroom Fight Fueling Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert’s Break Up

A shouting match in a bathroom. Kevin McCarthy. Donald Trump. Ukraine aid. They're all contributing to the split between two of the far right’s most high-profile figures.

www.thedailybeast.com

On the first day of Congress this year, Jan. 3, the mounting tension between Greene and Boebert reached its boiling point. According to multiple sources, the two women were nearly in a screaming match in the Speaker’s lobby ladies room just off the House floor.

“Greene questioned Boebert’s loyalty to McCarthy, and after a few words were exchanged, Boebert stormed out,” a source familiar with the fight told The Daily Beast.

According to another source familiar, while in the bathroom, Greene asked Boebert, “You were OK taking millions of dollars from McCarthy but you refuse to vote for him for Speaker, Lauren?”

They're VERY electible. That's the problem. Republican voters have just "tuned out" on sanity and ethics.

Republican Wants to Fix the Completely Made-Up Issue of Aborted Fetal Tissue in Food

Food does not contain aborted fetuses, but that hasn’t stopped one Texas Republican from trying to regulate it.

www.vice.com

Ahead of the opening of the Texas state legislature last week, Republican state Sen. Bob Hall introduced a bill to mandate that food containing “human fetal tissue” be “clearly and conspicuously labeled.” If passed, this bill would also apply to food that is “manufactured using human fetal tissue,” or “derived from research using “derived from research using human fetal tissue.” Medical and cosmetic products that have links to fetal tissue would also be subject to these requirements.
