Ongoing US GOP Debacle Thread: Seditious Republicans march toward authoritarianism

[avalon]

Ohio Republicans are trying to make it more difficult to pass ballot initiatives without their approval, no doubt fueled by the ballot initiative results in Kentucky, Kansas, and Michigan.

 

[ConnorEl]

Problem is for that red state, it's this kind of siren for way too many...

 

[deaconson]

Apparently it's not fluoride that Ohio puts in their water.

Ignorance and arrogance make an ugly pair.

Hide your keys.

[ConnorEl]

Florida.

 

[dartsndeacs]

I mean is he wrong ?

 

[dartsndeacs]

Let’s beat kids who get outta line is a movement I can get behind. Throw in mouthy broads and we have a coalition.

 

[Biff Tannen]

Why not just force these kids to live in a two parent household ?

 

[Baden]

Let's be optimistic and view it as efforts to curb school shootings so kids are only scared of getting spanked and not slaughtered!

 

[WFFaithful]

And teach them traditional American Christian values

 

[deaconson]

I'm tired of the war on Christmas.

So, conservatives want the right to review and curate every word a teacher says about race and history to students, but simultaneously want to give teachers the freedom to beat children that they think are acting out of line?

 

[ConnorEl]

Because it’s expected kids should be beaten.

And not learn anything they parents don’t believe.

Here’s a random thought I had this morning about the dreaded Hunter laptop:

So you’ve supposedly got this guy who has been doing billion dollar deals with every shady country under the sun, using his last name to influence. Then his shitty Dell or whatever is busted and he takes it to a random local shop? And not have someone do it, or, you know just buy another one?

Then, this computer, which is a key piece of how he does his deals and contains this treasure trove of info, he forgets to pick up?

Makes total sense !

It's hard to remember to pick up your laptop from the repair shop when you're on drugs.

pretty amazing he got all those deals done, though

 

[deacdiggler]

More productive stuff on the horizon from the incoming GOP congress.

i think the republican congressmen should go try to sneak into the country. drop them off on the other side of the border and tell them that once 10% of them get back in illegally, they can have hearings.

Conservatives expect their children to be victims of liberal indoctrination, they expect others children to be the recipients of the corporal punishment, same as every other fucking law in this country, liberty for me, authoritarianism for thee.
