Roger Rabbit quiz: Why don’t Republicans buy Teslas?
1. They can’t afford them
2. They can’t figure out how to start them
3. They don’t know how to plug in the charger cord
4. They can’t coal roll with them
5. They think Musk is a lefty
6. All of the above.
Texas Republicans: “Public school teachers belong to a radical, extreme leftist Marxist labor union that promotes pedophilia, grooming, gender confusion, and teaches your children to hate themselves and America.”
Also Texas Republicans: “We need to give them some guns.”
Go ahead bob, jack off to my impotent rage about still more dead children. Giggle with unbridled joy at my helpless to keep children from being slaughtered. Roll on the ground with laughter at my rage with helpless anger about more senseless preventable deaths. Yup I’m an angry owned lib. I don’t fucking care.
Now 18 children and 3 adults are dead.
As a parent, I’m exhausted from reading about other parents burying their babies while republican fuck sticks fall over themselves to make it clear that they will do everything in their power to make sure nothing will ever be done to stop the slaughters. There is no amount of death that will be the breaking point. Conservative blood lust can never be quenched.
Democrats will try to be reasonable and ask for gun control AND mental health, and republicans will scream only more guns.
Some republican asshole just on the news talking about the need to harden our schools. They want giant walls, multiple fence layers, barbed wire, guard towers, metal detectors, heavily armed cops. They basically would rather kids go to school in a literal prison than save lives.
But hey, no fetuses were hurt so it’s no problem, right?
Democrats are the real Pro Life party.
Now 18 children and 3 adults are dead… in TexASS..
Thoughts and prayers… bust teh teacher’s unions and arm them..
Pregnant victims of rape and incest: just stfu and have the kid. put it up for adoption if you can’t feed it, clothe it, educate it, civilize it. Hold an aspirin between your knees next time… The Southern Baptist leaders are your guide. Come to jeebus…
Fucked up place we’re in.. huh?
@2 Now wait for the right to attack the parents of the dead Uvalde kids like they did to the Sandy Hook and Parkland families.
They’re just waiting to get their names.
“A visibly emotional Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) pleaded with his Republican colleagues Tuesday to accept some sort of legislation addressing gun violence ….
“’Why do you spend all this time running for the United States Senate ― why do you go through all the hassle of getting this job, of putting yourself in a position of authority ― if your answer as the slaughter increases, as our kids run for their lives, [is that] we do nothing?’ Murphy said. ‘What are we doing? Why are you here, if not to solve a problem as existential as this?’
“Clasping his hands together in the air, Murphy continued: ‘I’m here on this floor to beg, to literally get down on my hands and knees and beg my colleagues. Find a path forward here. Work with us to find a way to pass laws that make this less likely.'”

Republicans: We’re sending flowers. [They get a frequent buyer discount.]
Now wait for the right to attack the parents of the dead Uvalde kids like they did to the Sandy Hook and Parkland families.
They have to get Alex Jones out of bankruptcy first.. Send muneee!
Trump’s state candidates are getting crushed in Georgia’s primary. Raffensperger and Kemp are winning easily.
@ 8
Raffensperger and Kemp are winning easily.
Save that. You’ll need it again in November.
Abortion isn’t the important issue y’all need it to be.
@9 I don’t mind if an honest Republican who stands up to Trump’s bullshit runs Georgia’s elections.
@10 Well, if you drill a little deeper by going to local (i.e. San Antonio) news, you’ll find this:
“With such a narrow margin, it is likely the race may not be decided for days. Mail-in votes from domestic voters can still be counted if they were postmarked by Tuesday and are received by counties by 5 p.m. Wednesday.”
https://news4sanantonio.com/news/local/henry-cuellar-declares-victory-but-jessica-cisneros-wont-concede-house-seat
That sounds to me like “outstanding votes we don’t know about.” Also, recounts usually pick up some votes missed in the first round. Of course, all these votes could go either way.
This is the breakdown by county, and it shows that votes for both candidates appear to be highly concentrated in pockets, rather than evenly spread through the district:
https://www.cnn.com/election/2022/results/texas/democratic-runoff/us-house-district-28
So if you get, for example, a batch of mail-in ballots coming into Bexar County, they’re probably going to break heavily for Cisneros, and the reverse in Webb County — those are the two big counties. Where there are ballots still in the mail, and how many, of course are question marks.
Bob truly is a little pansy dick.
Racist little child. Pathetic.
Absolute zero. With no purpose in life.

Didn’t your state’s Republican election experts advise Dino Rossi the same way in 2004.
Right now, as I type this there is more than one Republican legal challenge regarding ballot curing in that very state. The new Texas ballot has confounded a significant percentage of (generally older) Texas voters who failed to properly affix the required thumb print in placental blood on the inside flap of the security envelope as instructed in 3 point font.
My guess is the race won’t be decided for months.
I obviously believe this is wrong, especially with regard to Degen’s projected flip of 50 house seats and a takeover of the Senate. I still expect Republicans to win a majority in the House. But owing in large part to the court’s overturning of not only Roe but also Griswold, I think we will see unexpected turnout in suburban districts that will deviate from the historically based projections.
But mostly I think this proclamation by Republicans, especially as it regards this House race, reveals a fundamental weakness in their thinking born up mostly by the usual racism. We know that Roman Catholic voter’s views about the role of abortion birth control policy in politics has evolved a lot since the 1960s and 1970s. And that has partly been because of the church itself, but also because of the role the issues have played in our political debates. When it comes to politics and public policy, many Roman Catholic voters have been forced to choose between the church’s views on abortion and marriage equality, and the church views on social welfare, capital punishment, warfare, poverty, childcare, and healthcare. Roman Catholics do not align politically with the Evangelical Republican base.
But this Republican analysis of Cuellar’s district (and the valley in general) presumes that Latino Roman Catholics are fundamentally different from all other Roman Catholics. There is some solid data to suggest that they do differ. But mostly around immigration. Republicans in general ague that Latino Roman Catholics are intellectually less capable of navigating nuanced political views.
Obviously very large majorities of American Roman Catholics are not particularly doctrinal in their own lives when it comes to the church’s various prohibitions. They engage in sex outside of marriage (just like a Roman Catholic Priest!). They use birth control. They eat cheeseburgers on Friday. They masturbate. There’s scant evidence that Latino American Roman Catholics are any less inclined to perform these same maneuvers either politically or in their daily lives.
