  1. It’s mostly propaganda from the ownership class. They bitch about it for several reasons, none of which are good: -They need more customers to buy their shit and to continue to top quarterly figures instead of actually innovating stuff. -They need more employees, to whom they can pay increasingly shitty wages, and to increase overall productivity. -Christianity is in a relative state of decline and they think by shoving morally repugnant policies down our throats that those numbers will bounce up again…all to curtail the rise of “nones” in the US and ultimately to beat back the rise of Islam globally. -Politically their policy positions are as popular as crotch rot, so they figure a birth rate increase means GQP voter increase since the states most heavily affected by the overturn of Roe are the red ones (higher abortion rates than the blue ones generally speaking). -Yeah there’s also the race angle that’s been alluded to, as well as the safety net “concern.” To put it another way, if there’s a compelling reason to support an increase of birth rates, I’ve yet to see it. Always trust your skepticism when you see people advocating shit like that. It absolutely stinks of grift.
  2. SIAP, or at least the topic in general:
  3. “GROOMER!!!”
  4. Personally I don’t even see it as a “thou dost protest too much” situation. I see it, rather, as “we’re from a small circle that reads and hears each other’s shit and have very few original ideas of our own.” Seriously I listened to it and started wondering in certain spots “didn’t that guy already call?” If someone has it in them to leave a fucking hate-filled voice message on, if all people, Adam Kinzinger’s voicemail box, someone is a special kind of dumber-than-a-second-coat-of-paint.
  5. I mean I get it, but all that really serves is to show how far to the right they’re willing to go. I find no comfort in that. I find no comfort with any CEO saying “yeah we do want to dominate the world and control its resources, but at least we don’t want to see teachers leading a classroom full of pregnant 15 year olds in prayer while they’re getting shot at.”
  6. And that’s always been their game. When they talk about “taxes!!!!” they’re talking about taxes for the very wealthiest among us. Like you say, it’s true the rest of us may get some sort of cut but it’s never permanent and is always bound to go up (and that’s not even the real issue anyways but thats a separate discussion). It’s a classic game of bait-and-switch. And based on who those dipshits are, i.e. whores for wealthy people and corporations, that’s how it has to be done. They can’t run a campaign on “cut rich peoples taxes, raise everyone else’s.” If they did that, they’d never win. They can’t win elections if only their actual constituencies voted for them.
  7. Yeah that usually comes before they say “well the problem is that Democrats are in favor of abortion on demand right upon until birth.”
  8. Not on that, no. Smooth as a baby’s ass…but then again that’s only because it’s been open for like 5 years. They’re not a set rate. They change every so often (15-30 minutes iirc). Highest I’ve seen it go is $5.80 between DNT and 75 and that’s going East (usually the less expensive of the two directions).

  10. Selectively choosing Republican witnesses. Cool!
  11. Is that what they've been doing for these hearings? I tend not to watch Fox News (incredibly bad for my anus), but I did happen to catch a clip of Cavuto saying that some other testimony (I think regarding the requested pardons) was devastating. Are Tucker/Ingraham/Hannity et al still on this line about how 1/6 was just some organic dust up and that this committee is just a deep state smear campaign?
  12. Can anyone imagine how many heads would have exploded if Romney legit won in 2012 and Obama did all the shit that was described today?
  13. How about the original legal definition of terrorism as given by the military? ”the calculated use of violence or threat of violence to attain goals that are political, religious or ideological in nature. This is done through intimidation, coercion, or instilling fear” -Army TRADOC pamphlet 525-37, 1984
  14. Silly man. McDonald’s doesn’t make steak
  15. On this date 25 years ago
  16. They knew full well that was bullshit the exact moment they were saying it.
  17. And we’re gonna have the best dragons, ok? The best dragons. On day one, we will begin working on an ice wall, and we’re gonna make the wildlings pay for it. Oh and this story about my kids being the product of incest? Total fake news, ok? Fake news supplied by the Chinese to advance global warming
  18. Shocking there are enough Trumpkins on twitter to make him trend, yes
  19. Only if it’s performed by a priest
