The Fall of Roe v Wade: US Politics, June 2022

You know, it's ironic. If @SenTedCruz put half as much effort into building a better future for all Americans as he does shitposting on Twitter, maybe his constituents wouldn't be paying so much to get around.

Let's take this latest lie apart, shall we?

Today I’m investigating Twitter for potentially misleading Texans on the number of its “bot” users. I have a duty to protect Texans if Twitter is misrepresenting how many accounts are fake to drive up their revenue.https://t.co/OZbwdV3pnY

please show me one Texan who gives one single fuck about whether Twitter misrepresents its bot count and how that hurts anyone who lives in Texas. Goddamnit fuck that whole fucking state.

Musk has the Texas Government/GOP in his pocket.

Elon's apparent concern with the bot count is solely him seeking an exit strategy

"You can't back out! On what grounds?"

"I am shocked, shocked to discover there are bots on your platform!"

Musk has the Texas Government/GOP in his pocket.

Musk was recently identified as the wealthiest human alive and probably remains within spitting distance of that status. The Texas AG, in common with the vast majority of the Texas executive and legislature, is both ambitious as hell and venal in proportion to his ambition. It isn't hard to connect the bots dots.

31k likes for someone straight up harassing this drag queen. Cool. https://t.co/yRhQ5w6gLx

Surely he'll keep his head down and his nose to the grindstone, doing important work for people

is that code for "blowjobs"

he’s execrable but will always prefer to see more of him and the Boeberts and the Greenes and the Cawthornes (RIP) making asses of themselves, as opposed to the Vance and Hawley types

Is the grindstone where the cocaine is?

xp would happily take neither

would happily take launching into the sun

why would you purposely cause our star to go nova, tabes??

I'm also all for blowing up the sun, fwiw.

Wellllll, not before this afternoon's Negroni.

i assume greene is just preparing for her post-elected politics career, where she gets paid to make dumb speeches in both real life and television for the next 10 years, at least. milo is a pro troll, he has connections and his friends and pals are the kind of people who would watch her show

But she's already getting paid to make dumb speeches in her pre-post-elected politics career.

yeah, but that's not going to last forever. need to start shoring up the grift for her next 10 years. she has a family to feed, and they only eat money and fresh maggots

I mentally spoonerized "fresh maggots" and understood why she hired on Milo.

:-o

what has milo even been doing the last few years?

gay conversion therapy (grifting)

normal shit:

In 2017, Y14nnopoulos was a U.S. resident alien on O-1 visa status. He reportedly married his long-term boyfriend in Hawaii in September 2017. In March 2021, during an interview with right-wing publication LifeSiteNews, Y14nnopoulos claimed to be "ex-gay" and stated his husband had been "demoted to housemate".

In August 2021, Y14nnopoulos claimed that he tested positive for COVID-19 and implied that he used ivermectin to treat himself, despite the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and medical professionals warning against using the medication as a treatment for COVID-19.

In March 2021, Y14nnopoulos declared to the LifeSiteNews website that he was an ex-gay and would begin advocating on behalf of improving the public image of gay conversion therapy. In June 2021, Y14nnopoulos announced that he was fundraising for a gay conversion therapy centre in Florida.

Of course.

i'm sorry, but i refused to believe "LifeSiteNews website" is real. again, despite evidence to the contrary, i cannot live in a world where someone thinks "i am going to read LifeSiteNews now!"

hmmm, THIS looks like a good source of information! it's got life, site, AND news!

*immediately walks into telephone pole*

top lifesitenews story right now:

(LifeSiteNews) — Five Tampa Bay Rays pitchers declined to wear rainbow-themed insignias on their hats and jerseys during the team’s “Pride Night” celebration on Saturday, citing their Christian faith.

The five pitchers — Jason Adam, Jalen Beeks, Brooks Raley, Jeffrey Springs, and Ryan Thompson — took a stand against the pressure being exerted within all major league sports to “celebrate” and “welcome” sodomy and gender confusion during the month of June.  

i have to say, this is actually useful news, fuck those guys

"Sodomy & Gender Confusion" sounds like an outtake from Billion Dollar Babies

Of course they're all "pitchers."

of course they're all "bitches"

97% of white guys who play pro sports are just the biggest fucking doofuses

um, I’m not trying to be a total dick, but most guys who play professional sports are incredible doofuses.

i'm always curious how these bozos like Milo and Baked Alaska survive. how are they paying their bills? I see Milo has a job now but are they basically funded by donations from horrible people?

Rewrite as statement.

Most of them started out as do-nothings with parents that paid their bills.

xp i have no evidence for this and i'm not going to look for it but i have a hunch that many of these proud boy types have support from mom and dad. you don't bootstrap yourself into being an incompetent hatemonger. i'm willing to bet that being already bootstrapped by mom and dad is part of the reason one becomes an incompetent hatemonger in the first place.

Milo was hawking Virgin Mother statues fairly recently:

“There are some Marys where the face is unfortunate, they haven’t put in the work to make sure that she’s got just the right expression and features,” he says in a clip.

“This on the other hand, you can see at home it’s just, it’s just beautiful.”

He looks like Johnny Depp playing Milo.

Ped Wood

I thought Baked had rich parents, Milo's basically spent half his life begging for money

Jan. 6 Hearings Give Democrats a Chance to Recast Midterm Message
With their majority at stake, Democrats plan to use the six high-profile hearings to refocus voters’ attention on Republicans’ role in the attack.

I'm sure this will be highly effective!

Ehh, it might sway some 'undecided independents, whoever they are

NYT being NYT.

Milo is essentially all the desperation of the producers in The Producers made glossy flesh.

Got to congratulate the Bubbas, their war on higher education is close to being won in KY. Let us see, the Bubbas first got rooked by a bunch of Wall Street slickers basically blowing state pension funds. They then separated off the cops' union from the teachers, as you cannot go after the cops. They then basically blamed the teachers for their pension funding mess and pretty much forced cuts on people that don't really get paid that f'n much in the first place, especially in the back hollers of KY. They pretty much then tried to arrest them or fire them for complaining. Then you have COVID and the Bubba law makers pretty much similulatanously blamed the teachers for not wanting to get back into the schools and then turns around and stated they were brainwashing children with CRT.

F'n dumba$$ Bubbas each and every one, maybe they should make take some campaign pictures with some assault rifles, that will impress them.

Some committee members have hinted they will aim to prove Trump’s culpability for Jan. 6 in a couple of respects: that he incited the attack on the Capitol, and that he broke federal law by trying to stop lawmakers from certifying Joe Biden’s win. It is a crime to obstruct an official proceeding of Congress.

They’ve interviewed former aides and administration officials — including the No. 1 and No. 2 officials at the Justice Department at the time, Jeffrey Rosen and Richard Donoghue — who testified that they told Trump, in no uncertain terms, that he lost the 2020 election.

But to build the case that he committed a crime, the committee would need to demonstrate that Trump and his allies specifically planned to disrupt the congressional counting of electoral votes.

Anyone watch Chris Haye's two-hour special last night? Rather good and crisp.
