Republicans are the scum of the earth

Ah, we're at the, "They deserved to die, and shouldn't be mourned because all queers go to hell," phase of excusing mass murder.

Do you understand now why I fear the end of democracy so greatly? Because they are making it clear what they will do with unchecked power. https://t.co/FTrgM89G2W

The difference between courage and cowardice

Unarmed queers in a gay bar in Colorado Springs were able to do what hundreds of armed men couldn't do in Uvalde.

Just fucking no

Ted Cruz said yesterday, while campaigning in Iowa, that the Planned Parenthood shooter in Colorado Springs was a "...transgendered [sic] leftist activist."  His campaign later clarified his declaration as Cruz just making the point that there was a lot of information that hadn't been confirmed concerning the shooter.

No.  Just fucking no.

This has become a strategic m.o. for the republican party--they put out some completely bogus claim to deflect attention from the fact that their party is completely batshit insane knowing full well that there are plenty of gullible buffoons in their base who will wholeheartedly believe it and blame the "liberal media" bias for the reason the "real" story isn't gaining any credence.  It's manipulative, demagogic, and dishonest and we need to call them out on it in the loudest voice possible until they crawl back under the rock from which they came.

The promise that is America cannot be fulfilled when republicans are using sleight of hand to stoke hatred and fear in too many people over problems that really aren't the problems Americans need to be addressing.

Enough is enough.

The crazy train keeps chugging along

A stay-at-home mother of two, an Iraq war vet, and a police officer who was the father of two were the latest victims of domestic terrorism when they were shot to death last Friday at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs.  Near as I can tell, none of the three were there in any official capacity other than providing support of one kind or another.

Nonetheless, to the nut jobs on the right, they're little more than collateral damage according to the vitriol (you better have a strong stomach if you open that link ) that passes for commentary among the republican base.  Now that it appears the shooter's actions were politically motivated one can only suppose the cheering will grow considerably louder.

Funny, though, how they claim to be pro-life yet have so little concern for the lives of three innocent people, and their families, whose lives are now irrevocably torn asunder,

Skip...skip...skip...

Broken record time again....

Seems one Helen Collins, a Councilwoman in Colorado Springs, CO, thinks the best way to handle homelessness is to give the homeless a bus ticket out of town.

Because nothing fixes homelessness quite like giving someone without a home a bus ticket to another city...where they still don't have a home.

As simple as I can for dimwit conservatives:  the best way to combat homelessness is to get those poor folks without one a fucking home until they can get back on their feet.

Jesus H. Christ, you'd think this was string theory for all the trouble some folks have in understanding it.
