  1. So desperate do you know what you’re even talking about? As I said teachers unions don’t make policy, Einstein. Your link isn’t an example of them making policy and has nothing to do with the curriculum or education policy. Yes Unions lobby regulators for workplace safety issues which is what your link about and if you weren’t so desperate you wouldn’t link to “stupid ass crap” that doesn’t have anything to with the topic at hand. Hardly a day goes by where right wing special interest groups aren’t also lobbying or outright dictating to government. The Republicans even gave a formal name for it: ALEC. Go ahead look it up then pretend you didn’t see it like you do all the other inconvenient facts you get owned with every day.
  2. Teachers unions don’t make policy, Einstein. There’s a whole professional department of government staffed by experts in Education, as well as private sector external consultants who are not politicians and who are not “teachers unions”. Oh and since you’re avoiding giving any response to the Republicans’ vile forced birth policies which you claim to not personally support (and will likely soon wipe any knowledge of it from your memory) here’s a reminder of what your party is up to. Apparently forcing women and young girls to let their rapists sperm fester and grow inside them is not enough. Now not even the woman dying is not enough of an excuse. Republicans are just turning women into captive breeding stock at this point. No wonder they’re banning Handmaid’s Tale Proposal to change Utah GOP platform on abortion eliminates language on exceptions for rape, incest and preserving life of the mother Proposed change takes a harder stance on abortion than the LDS Church. …. Currently, the “Right to Life” plank reads, “We strongly oppose abortion, except to preserve the life of the mother or in cases of rape or incest.” The proposed change would replace the exceptions with the phrase “and encourage adoption.” Weber County Republican Delegate Bob McEntee believes the proposed change helps reframe the party’s position to focus on other available options than terminating a pregnancy….”However hard it might be if they get through that pregnancy and give that child up for adoption, I think that would be a better solution,” McEntee said. https://www.sltrib.com/news/politics/2022/04/19/proposal-change-utah-gop/ Now he claims he’s not proposing to eliminate those exceptions from their party platform just deleting their mention in writing for style purposes, at a time when Republicans across the country are desperately trying to one-up eachother on how absolutely vile they can be over abortion rights Now I’m not saying all Republicans are the same, there definitely different types. This image helps chart them all
  3. Exactly so why are Republican lawmakers suddenly running around banning books like it’s medieval times again? And anyway politicians aren’t qualified to determine what is or isn’t “age appropriate teaching”. There are professional educators who are far better equipped for that. The party that loves to claim “politicians in the far-away capital w no business interfering in local decisions” are always passing laws to micromanage people and issues they have no business micromanaging. They pass laws tell ling teachers what they can and can’t teach under threat of arrest. They can ass laws telling librarians what books they can and can’t carry under threat of arrest. . They pass laws telling OBGYNs what medical procedures and equipment they can and can’t use to end pregnancies, they have laws stipulating who can us which bathroom, buttocks measurements for women’s bikinis, they even have laws specifying you how much your pants are allowed to sag. They pass laws local school boards and business what covid precautions they can and can’t implement. They have laws forcing women seeking abortions to first endure humiliating anti-abortion lectures from religious activists and undergo invasive unnecessary medical examinations They have laws requiring pregnant teenagers to provide fetal DNA samples so they can hunt down the father and put his name in a database. The list goes on and grows daily And again, when I say “they” I’m not talking about regulatory agencies staffed with professionals and who are the ones who SHOULD be making “some” of the above rules, I’m talking about politicians passing laws in the legislature. Republican politicians are always overreaching because of their stupid culture war and their need to rule everyone with an iron fist.
  4. You clearly don’t even know what the word fascist means. You just think it means anything you don’t like. Go ahead spout off whatever crazy shit you like and then scream MSM CONSPIRACY to justify any crazy shit you want to say. Funny how more than half the conservative right wing media is in on the MSM conspiracy just this one time though isn’t it? Just this one time they’re also condemning Putin and conspiring with Biden even though they still support Trump and believe the BIG LIE election bullshit but also they’re conspiring with Biden. That’s fucking crazy talk. Meanwhile the mystery of what Putin’s done with his Minister of Defence deepens, the man hasn’t been seen for weeks since Russias military failures became undeniable. And footage of him supposedly attending recent events and meetings on Russian news media turned out to be fake, with old footage of him being spliced in to current footage. It’s alleged he and his buddies plundered a $10Bn Ukraine invasion fund that Putin had been stockpiling in recent years and that’s partially to blame for Russian equipment woes. But even if that part is not true clearly they are responsible for the very poorly planned invasion. If he’s alive he’s probably in a siberian gulag somewhere. But given that his daughter just tweeted a loving tribute to him that reads more like a eulogy than anything else, his family doesn’t know what Putin’s done with him either.
  5. Your link has nothing to do with Republican book bans. Or schools. And nobody is forcing you to go to these. No your silly name calling is neither clever nor sensical. Did you just put random syllables together?
  6. No the intent was not to trample he and indeed she was not trampled, if she was she would have had more than a strained shoulder. And no it’s not hair splitting to call out the fact that a 49yo is not elderly. As for the rest of your blathering idiocy, as I’ve said many times, Ukraine considering joining NATO or being invited to join NATO or even ACTUALLY joining NATO doesn’t justify Russian invasion nor is it a threat to Russia Latvia Lithuania and Estonia all border Russia and joined NATO, along with many other former Soviet puppets in Eastern Europe. The Cold War was over NATO is not out to invade Russia suddenly for no reason There is nothing that justifies Russian invasion, much less the mass killings and rapes Russian troops are carrying out
  7. Yet another Made up Republican fairytale Also your fictitious “story time” example has nothing to do with Republican laws banning libraries from lending books and jailing librarians Setting aside for the moment the fact that Republicans CRT hysteria is exaggerated and mostly made-up, you admit people should be persecuted for sharing ideas and perspectives on race that you don’t like. That’s Konservative Kancel Kulture for you. It even has an apt acronym. Huh? No it’s just the usual Republican culture war fearmongering
  8. So in according to your zero-knowledge, in 2004 when Russia poisoned Ukraines pro-Europe presidential candidate and in 2010 when it rigged Ukrainian elections to impose a brutal pro-Russian president who opened fire on his own unarmed citizens and his critics and journalists were jailed on false charges, murdered or beat up, that was what? Saying American should have minded its own business in Ukraine and let your buddy Putin do whatever he wants is just like when Republicans said Americans should mind its own business in WW and let their buddy Hitler do whatever he wants.
  9. But…,China is supporting Russia …. BTW LikePutin, Hitler was also anti- homosexuality,anti transgender, pro straight family, pro white, and less multiculturalism and diversity. Glad to see a Trumptard finally admit they’re a racist who prefers right wing fascist dictatorship just to ‘Pwn’ the libs. Like we’ve been saying all along.
  10. Trampled means stepped on. The horse didn’t step on her. Full stop. Her “strained shoulder” from getting knocked over is not an injury. That’s just a fact. She is not elderly that’s just a fact tjat the Tucker and his fellow liars won’t correct. And if she’s so disabled and fragile she probably shouldn’t have chosen to stand with the die hard holdouts once the police warned what was going to happen next and everyone else wisely chose to leave peacefully. Contrary to your lies, Zelensky never told Putin to “bring it on” but these Ottawa diehard holdouts said exactly that to police amd they knew exactly what they were getting themselves into. Glad you’re able to criticize Trump for something although if theses vaccines are as deadly as you claim and will supposedly kill millions it’s strange that you still support him so. Don’t you think?
  11. “If you only listen to media that Putin controls, then you’ll know Putin is a genius and everything is going swell for Russia! Putin is a genius, says Putin” LMAO Putin is banning news outlets and jailing journalists left and right, literally passing laws forbidding them from reporting anything that contradicts his official narratives and you’re complaining about OUR censorship of his proposal outlets. In other news, the 8th Russian general was killed in Ukraine today. If you include their most senior colonels the death toll is 14. Total Russian casualties are in well beyond 10,000 and estimated to be nearing 20,000. Hundreds of tanks vehicles and aircraft lost. Its Black Sea flagship and one of its largest transport ships sunk. All at the hands of a mostly rag-tag Ukrainian army of most of whom were civilians with zero military experience only 5-6 weeks ago. No matter what happens this is a major loss for Russia there’s no way they can claim victory even if they manage to snatch away Donbas and Crimea. The economic sanctions against Russia are going to last at least a decade and will only further weaken them politically and financially and prevent them from rebuilding their depleted and incompetent military. Any bailouts Russia gets from China will be to Russia’s disadvantage and China’s gain, China is not known for selfless charity. Meanwhile Russia has caused the small poorly equipped “skeleton crew” of the pre-invasion Ukrainian military to grown exponentially into a lethal fighting force that will continue to arm and train and evolve with NATO partners, and Ukraine further integrate with EU economies even if it doesn’t officially join either club. Sweden and Finland will do the same and may outright join NATO altogether. The NATO countries are rearming and shoring up a common political and economic front against Russia.
  12. Another pro-Russian fake account, only recently created. All of these Russia-themed threads are infested with them. Anyone checking these IP addresses?
  13. Another Russian propaganda bot?
  14. Lies and propaganda are always disapprove by Father Time. Russia now admits that the Moskva was in fact sunk, just as the Ukrainians had declared all along. The flagship of the Russian Black Sea fleet, second ship to be sunk by Ukrainian missiles So when the post above claimed “Now the ship is afloat, the fire has been extinguished, the explosions of ammunition have stopped. The missile cruiser "Moscow" is planned to be towed to the port” it was clearly a lie from this Russian troll farm account that mysteriously appeared in this forum recently, a known Russian propaganda tactic. Probably a bot that posts the same nonsense on a thousand different forums every day.
  15. Yes it’s an exaggeration to say she was trampled by a horse. Yes when right media outlets reported that she was elderly when she wasn’t Is dishonest. Media outlets are supposed to check facts…something they’re not familiar with Yes when they continue to report her as elderly when her age has been acutely reported is lying Yes when the peaceful demonstrators have cleared out and people remain to battle police who have provided them ample warning of what’s to come if they don’t leave…they know what they’re getting into No, agreeing to peacefully leave the demonstration doesn’t mean they were forced to get vaccinated or vaccinated their kids you liar Dangerous Psuedovax….thenkne Trump is taking credit for developing? Are you saying your dear Trump developed a dangerous vaccine? Your lies about Putin’s imperialist Russian aggression and your idiotic logic haven’t changed I see. Most of the peaceful convoy protesters left without getting vaccinated. There was no choice between staying to fight or getting vaccinated. They were the hardcore zealots. They were hardly “the best of us” The vast majority of Canadians don’t support them or their badly misspelled signs. Best of YOU maybe?
  16. Doesn’t seem to bother conservatives when they round up gang members, drug dealers and islamist terrorists the same way.
  17. Well all Im saying is entrapment was the reason given by the jury for acquittal and the judge accepted it. I didn’t say it was a correct decision. Remember what separates decent people from Trumptards and their election BIG LIE is that we understand democracy means accepting results even when you disagree with them and believe the process is flawed or was improperly followed. There are established mechanisms like appeals and perhaps flaws in the system that can be improved for next time but only a Trumptard still expects to have his way after losing and failing through all established procedures
  18. 1). We don’t have politicians drawing up lists of banned movies and threatening to jail librarians and teachers who don’t comply with their banned list 2) It has nothing to do with “abnormal sexual behaviour”. It has to do wit conservative thought police. Ironically they banned Fahrenheit 451, the classic book about fascist thought police banning books in a dystopian future. The reason: there’s a part where -a character says “god damn”. ? Classics like To Kill a Mockingbird, Canterbury Tales, The Handmaid’s Tale….anything that suggests racism is bad, or criticizes past of hypothetical future conservative theocratic dictatorships. They’ve banned children’s books that have nothing to do with sex or homosexuality but teach kids it’s ok to be unique and non-conforming (they’ve banned “Its ok to be unicorn”, about a unicorn who doesn’t fit in with the other horses and “its ok to smell good” about a skunk that doesn’t stink). I guess you’re surrendering in all the other things I mentioned in my last post, the pro-rape anti-abortion polices, big brother monitoring of teachers, abuse of Supreme Court shadow docket, taking health coverage from tens of millions ?
  19. Oh and a Republican racist election official is forced to resign after a racist Facebook rant about the Secretary of Defense and another US General (both of whom are Black) calling them “dirty stinking n——-s” and suggesting they should be lynched. Also he calls white nationalists “conservative, freedom-loving Americans” with “conservative. This is who the Republicans chose to oversee elections while they continue to disenfranchise black voters I guess I should have called this thread Republican crooks, perverts and racists…but really last part is just implied Republican Virginia electoral board official resigns after he called for Biden's black Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to be lynched for trying to clamp down on white supremacy David Dietrich's name is no longer on the Hampton Electoral Board's website His own local Republican Party called for his ouster over a February 17 Facebook post in which he calls Lloyd Austin and 3-star General Russel Honore the n-word Dietrich initially refused their request to resign from his role, Hampton GOP said Virginia's GOP Governor Glenn Youngkin called for Dietrich to resign over the weekend, claiming his words are 'beyond unacceptable and have no place' in VA Pentagon spokesman John Kirby praised Austin and sharply condemned the rhetoric as 'wicked' and 'irresponsible' during a news briefing on Tuesday A Republican elected official in Virginia resigned over the weekend after it was revealed he called for President Joe Biden's Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to be lynched for his efforts to root white supremacy out of the military… https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10712991/amp/Republican-Virginia-official-resigns-calling-Bidens-black-Defense-Secretary-lynched.html Shhh…Davy you’re not supposed to say the quiet part out loud, you’re gonna blow your party’s cover! Remember the first rule of Fight Club !
  20. Sur it is. But just understand what it means. Because it doesn’t mean these men didn’t plot to kidnap the Governor. It means they plotted to kidnap the governor but the idea came from an undercover. They still knowingly agreed to become terrorists, they just can’t be convicted of it
  21. Another Republican pervert alert! Wealthy Trump donor who’s trying to move from the “smoke-filled backroom” to actually being a Trump-endorsed candidate for GOVERNOR himself is such a sex pest even his fellow Republicans are victims and voice their disgust! (Of course Trump endorsed him over the current Republican incumbent) Trump-backed Nebraska gubernatorial candidate accused of sexual misconduct by 8 women by Monique Beals 04/14/22 / 03:37 PM EDT Nebraska gubernatorial candidate Charles Herbster was accused of sexual misconduct by eight women, prompting a bipartisan group of state senators to call for an end to his campaign. “We commend the brave women who have stepped forward to tell the truth about what they endured at the hands of Charles Herbster, including our friend and colleague, Senator Julie Slama,” the statement, which was signed by Slama and a dozen other state senators, said. …In her own statement, Slama, a Republican, confirmed the report about Herbster assaulting her in 2019 when she was 22 years old. https://thehill.com/news/3267809-trump-backed-nebraska-gubernatorial-candidate-accused-of-sexual-misconduct-by-8-women/amp/
  22. 1. Yes book bans. If your only source of information is Republican Party propaganda they probably don’t tell you ejat they’re up to Conservatives have enacted about 1,600 book bans in school districts over the last 9 months, with Texas leading the way, report says https://www.businessinsider.com/book-bans-texas-lgbtq-race-gender-sexuality-republicans-2022-4?amp US conservatives linked to rich donors wage campaign to ban books from schools https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/jan/24/us-conservatives-campaign-books-ban-schools Book Banning And Threats Against Librarians Soared Over Past Year, Report Shows The numbers could well grow again in 2022 as Republicans enact more restrictions on the state and local level. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/us-banned-books-librarian-threats_n_624bfc2ae4b007d3845a6c79/amp Bill to bolster school library book bans advances in Tennessee legislature https://tn.chalkbeat.org/platform/amp/2022/3/29/23002281/school-library-book-bans-tennessee-legislature-obscenity Arizona GOP Wants Books Like 'The Canterbury Tales' Banned From Schools https://www.newsweek.com/arizona-gop-wants-books-like-canterbury-tales-banned-schools-1688844?amp=1 Idaho Republicans push bill that would fine and jail librarians for certain books https://www.salon.com/2022/03/09/idaho-push-bill-that-would-fine-and-jail-librarians-for-certain-books/ Texas Pulls Over 130: The Largest Book Ban in Decades https://oracle.newpaltz.edu/texas-pulls-over-130-the-largest-book-ban-in-decades/ 2 CRT hysteria is another made-up Republican boogeyman. The Republican party always CLAIMS to believe that decisions should be made locally and school decisions should be made with the involvement of parents of the actual school in question and not be politicians in t far away capital And yet this is the exact opposite of that with a book ban list imposed by politicians in the state capital and teachers under live video surveillance by a culture war gestapo and being sent to jail when they potentially say something that’s been declared verbotten 3 Well then you should be outraged by what Republicans are doing, effectively banning abortion in all cases including rape or incest …or in the case of Idaho, giving the “relatives” of the embryo, including the rapist and his family members, the power to veto a woman’s choice to end a pregnancy This veto power is basically saying that pregnant women are not free citizens entitled to make their own choices as they can be overruled by their “clan” including clans they are forcibly associated with through rape 4 Your comment here is empty nonsense 5 Morel unproven accusations and IG LIE nonsense The election was not stolen and you have tried every possible legal means and due process to present your so-called evidence and make your case and you’ve failed miserably MORE THAN 60 times. What makes you a threat to democracy is not simply that you believe in a baseless election fraud conspiracy theory with no evidence that nobody believes…Its that you believe in a baseless conspiracy theory with no evidence that nobody believes AND YOU DEMAND TO SEIZE POWER ANYWAY This whole mentality you guys have of “I don’t care if I have no evidence and nobody believes me I know I’m right thats all that matters” is exactly the mentality that every despot and villain in in history. 6. Americans have long had the wost healthcare coverage in the developed world. Obamacare granted or improved health coverage for tens of millions of uninsured and underinsured Americans. It was a fundamental game-changing improvement ver the abysmal system that was previously in place. Ten years later Republicans have not even sketched out any alternative to Obamacare on the back of a napkin and yet they still want to strip away the coverage from tens of millions of Americans with some vague promises that somehow someday Republicans will come up with something that will be somewhat better in some unknown fashion Meanwhile all they actually accomplished under Trump was exploiting loopholes that stripped or reduced coverage from millions of Americans Because that’s what working class people really want right, higher profits for insurance company shareholders and less medical coverage and more healthcare related bankruptcy for themselves?
  23. Sorry when they out there passing vile and despicable laws and policies and attempted to put an end to democracy, they deserve to be criticized for it.
  24. Entrapment = “yes I did plot to kidnap the governor but only because an undercover agent suggested it” Can you imagine if an Islamist terrorist said the same thing about bombing a subway? Most of the kidnap plotters are still awaiting trial and by no means have been exonerated. Anyway the fact remains that right wing extremists are out there’s ready and willing to carry out these seditious and terrorist acts with only a slight nudge. We all know another right wing terrorist attack like Oklahoma City is going to happen sooner or later.
