THE WEEK August 11, 2023

[shinobicyrus]

Obviously, the Alabama Supreme Court actually putting fetal personhood into law is another victory for creeping Christian Authoritarianism and yet another attack on health care, womens' rights, and bodily autonomy....but watching the Republicans flip their shit now that IVF clinics are in danger of closing is hilarious in a "the clown car is on fire" kind of way.

Because of course this was going to happen. Fetal personhood and anti-surrogacy (especially in the context of same-sex parents) has been bouncing around in conservative religious and legal circles (but what's the difference?) for decades, with those pesky liberals warning about it for just as long. Anyone with an inkling of awareness of the issue could have seen it coming.

So the fact that they were caught so off guard is myopic enough. And they're panicking for a very good reason, because yanno who generally goes to IVF clinics?

The people who can afford it.

Certainly the abortion bans in various states were bad, but if you had a lot of disposable income you could just...go to another state. Extremely inconvenient, yes, but not insurmountable. But this?

Oh my god, now the far-right pro-life politics that you've been cultivating for going on fifty years is now in a position to affect people with money? People that matter? Now you have to try and contend with the very extremist judges you installed that don't have to worry about getting elected and whose decisions are now putting you on the political chopping block?

Join us the in misery you're created for everyone else, assholes.

That's one hell of a lot of gall to think as ONE brand new senator he gets to determine policy for the ENTIRE US military!!!

Tommy, you want to play army? Become a general or get into the state department where these things are decided.

In the meantime, Tommy, stop trying to make a woman from, say, California not be a to get an abortion which is LEGAL for her because that makes the religious nuts in your state happy.

Oh, and be more careful on stairs. Your oversized ego and inflated sense of importance are clearly throwing you off balance.

Cruz did the same thing with ambassadors and state department personnel and Paul is continuing to block ambassadors.

[intothewildsstuff]

Finally! He's still an asshole.

[longwindedbore]

Explain this to me:

One Minority Party Conservative Senator in one committee can cripple our military chain of command because that’s ‘just the way the Senate works’?

But 49 MINORITY PARTY Liberal Senators voting as a bloc couldn’t stop the appointment of incompetent and corrupt judges because ‘that’s just the way the Senate works’?

Smells like some real fetid Bull💩 to me.

These ancient ass-holes think we have the memories of goldfish.

The French have the right idea of dealing with nepo-incompetent elite with a tradition of Guillotines.

But we have taken the first step in starting a tradition a rich scum only in regulations-dodging carbonfiber ‘submersibles’. Even better the Rich have paid a small fortune to climb in and watch workers bolt the only hatch closed…from the outside. Knowing that their host boasted of cutting corners.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

And shut up about ‘a tragedy’

Today’s reminder that by illegally running the deep sea ‘explorations’ Oceangate intended to demonstrare these ‘cut-corners, -Home Depot components- expired carbon-fiber’ vehicles were ‘safe’ to deploy tens of thousands of feet below the surface

Except eventually with non-billionaire crews looking for new oil fields.

Y’know the GOP assholes in Congress would have screamed about “job-killing regulations” if the Coast Guard were to interfere with an unsafe boat.

The death toll of oil explorers would have been attributed to “crew error” just like

The passenger jets Boeing knew were capable of overriding the controls self-crashing 737 Max 8s

Or the ‘deregulated’ overly long carrying too much Norfolk Southern derailment in East Palestine, Ohio. Poisoning the waters of the Ohio and Mississipppi basins.

Beau: Hey, Hey Caleb. Yasha's got this new green bean casserole recipe she wants to try. Can we have some of your green beans?

Caleb, audibly breathing heavily: ah, Beauregard, I'm, uh, a bit busy at the moment. [More heavy breathing]

[A pause]

Beau: IS IT ESSEK?? HEY ESSEK!

Yasha, softer than Beau from present: What if it's not Essek, that would be awkward.

Caleb, still breathing heavily: Ladies, please, now-

Beau: Of course it's Essek, who else could it be?

Yasha: I don't know. Caleb is a handsome guy, maybe...

Beau: Nah, it has to be-

[Essek rises and leans over to the sending stone]

Essek: Caleb and I are currently indisposed, we will message you back later about the green beans.

[A brief cheer is heard before a Silence spell is cast on the stone]

Caleb, reaching for Essek: Now, where were we?

Beau: I fuckin' KNEW it!

I love Ashton and Imogen’s dynamic. Friends who deeply understand the wanting to be around other people but other people hurt so so much. For Ashton the pain is physical, for Imogen it’s mental.

My #1 post of 2022

I haven’t seen this on my dash so here it is. The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill codifying same-sex marriage and it is now going to the Senate where there really is an actual chance of it passing. Sure, there are assholes who won’t support it, but there are Republican senators willing to support it and we need their support to get this passed. If you live in a state with a Republican senator, please call the senate office telling them that as a constituent, you support same-sex marriage and the Respect for Marriage Act.

The following senators are reported to be undecided, if one of these senators is yours, CALL!!!

Richard Burr, North Carolina

Roy Blunt, Missouri

Mike Braun, Indiana

Joni Ernst, Iowa

Cynthia Lummis, Wyoming

Rand Paul, Kentucky

Mitch McConnell?, Kentucky (yeah, I’m shocked the evil undead gizzard demon is in the undecided category as well but...might as well pressure the fucker)

Mitt Romney, Utah 

Mike Rounds, South Dakota (specifically Mr. Rounds is quoted as acknowledging difference between a religious marriage and a legal one, go ahead and specify that you support granting couples the legal rights and protections that are given with a legal marriage)

Rick Scott, Florida 

Dan Sullivan, Alaska (notably, Mr. Sullivan is quoted to recognize and respect the existing Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage! Pressure this man!!)

John Thune, South Dakota

Patt Toomey, Pennsylvania

Tommy Tuberville, Alabama

Todd Young, Indiana

This information was gathered from CNN on 7/21/22.

For clarification: Same-sex marriage is legal in all 50 states right now based on the 2015 Supreme Court ruling. But, with the court standing as it is and with Roe being taken down, codifying same-sex marriage in law would mean that the Supreme Court would have a much, MUCH harder time stripping away the right. This is important. Marriage as a legal binding is critical to allowing spouses to visit each other in the hospital, make medical decisions, share assets, adopt and form families, and more. We need TEN Republicans to support the bill, so far there are FIVE likely supporters - we need AT LEAST FIVE MORE.

Please reblog this!!!

Tommy Tuberville boasted that “there’s nobody more military” than him on the Senate Armed Services Committee. Mark Kelly's pushback was important.

[blondi402]

Cruz and Blackburn are the only two who changed their vote to Scott. Scott had 13 votes, compared to the 11 from the leaked roster.

Scott had the most public support, with Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, Ron Johnson, R-Wis., Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., Rand Paul, R-Ky., Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., and Marco Rubio, R-Fla., also backing him.

Thune won majority because of these assholes:

Prior to the elections, Thune had received public endorsements from Sens. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., Mike Rounds, R-S.D., Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., John Hoeven, R-N.D., and a source confirmed to Fox News Digital that National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Chairman Steve Daines, R-Mont., was privately encouraging other senators to support Thune.

Trump set to take down his own party’s speaker

COMMENTARY:

Trump has definitely rxposed the rot at the heart of the Conservative wing of the GOP.

Speaking as an Eisenhower Republian, I've been dealing with assholes lJanuary 6 assholes since I got back from Vietnam in 1971. White male pro-war corporate careerist draft dodgers. Tuberville's Storm Troopers. A driving factor in the suicide rate combat veterans  returning  to the civilianI als community,  I also had to deal with liberal anti0war draft dodgers, but they were culturally more fun and a whole lot less destructive At that time, everybody inside the beltway was like Pete Buttigieg in regards to Affirmative Action except the Plumbers, like Paty Buchanan and Elon Busk.

I mean, they are everywhere. David Rubenstin and Glenn Youngkin, two venture ca capital carpet baggers in tow to steal whatever they can from the DC tax payers whenever the Conservatives have control of the federal government at the budget. The   Sports Authority deal is good for virginia only if the investors trying to steal the Caps and Wizards put up the first %1 billion for infrastructues plus whatever the cost of the frranchise from Ted Leonis, who was a player in the AOL-TimeWarner jug fuck on the AOL side. I tried to warn Kimsey that was going to happen but this was the way they did things with a Harvard MBA and that was good enough for him.

Vietnam came down to a contest between Marxism and the Harvard Business model and Marxism won,

Jhere's the thing: we were a cunt hair away from making the paradigm shfit  from the Starship Capitalism of 1001: A Space Odysssey on January 19, 1981, If Carter had been re=elected, replace the Pan Am logo on the Lunar Shuttled to the permanent United Nations lunar colony , with Spacex and that is where we wouldd have been if Carter had been relected.

The Movement Conservatives that originated with William F. Buckley and Barry Goldwater have  been engaged in an insurgency conceived to result in the hostile takeover of America by people like David Rubenstein and Glenn Youngkin and Elon Musk. Atlas Shrugged is all about the hostile take over of America by John Galt, babusinesssed on Ayn Rand's experience with the Russian Revolution that crated the Bolsheviks, The Conservative movement has always been based  on the Trotsky insurgency process we were dealing with in Vietnam before 1962. Tright now, the single greatest economic distortion driving inflation at the retail level is the  bloated executive compensation based on the McKinsey Model. That's  a big reason behind the anti-BEI faction of the Elon Musk . business model defended by the Studio executives in the SAG strike.

The future has always been Fran Drescher's Quality Assurance business model, going back to the Declaration of Independence. The necessity of  BEI is measured directly by the opposition to BEI, The Bill Ackman anti-BEI campaign is based on what he describes as "Merit" which is Conservative disinformation for soft-porn Apartheid. Newt Gingrich's GOPC politics of personal destruction,

Let me put this another wayL the :reality game show: Survivor is based on the anti=BEI corporate culture  of Management by Confusion. Think of all the team building Fortune 500 employees have gone through since W. Edwards Deming came back from Japan with Quality Assurance protocols for Starship Capitalism. What anti[BEI CEO's saw was an opportunity  to lot the payrolls with layoffs thanks to increased worker efficacy, Quality Assurance seeme to justify the McKinsey model for excessive executive compensation., the Jack Welch CIO Master Looter. Virtually all the bullshit going on in commercial aviation is a consequence of PATCO and McKinsey. Any CEO being compensated at more than 60 - 80 times the floor wage is what Arn Rand calls a "Looter" in Atlas Shrugged. She just didn't understand that it applied mostly to her heros, the captains of industry. The Elon Musks of the world. .
