Who needs a Robe?
Author: Raine    Date: 02/25/2021 14:06:55

Seriously, they aren't even pretending to be serious anymore. Last night freshman QOP member Marjorie Taylor-Green pulled a helluva stunt and proceeded to double down on hate.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene placed a sign outside her office mocking a House neighbor after the lawmaker, Marie Newman, hung a transgender pride flag next to her door in protest over the Georgia Republican's opposition to a LGBTQ rights bill.

Newman, D-Ill., who has a transgender daughter, recorded a video of herself putting up the flag Wednesday after she said Greene, whose office is across the hall, tried to block the Equality Act on the House floor.

Greene “tried to block the Equality Act because she believes prohibiting discrimination against trans Americans is ‘disgusting, immoral, and evil,’” Newman wrote in the tweet. “Thought we’d put up our Transgender flag so she can look at it every time she opens her door.”

In response, Greene tweeted her own video showing her putting up a large sign that says, “There are TWO genders: MALE & FEMALE. “Trust The Science.””




She didn't really block the Equality Act. Instead, an anti-science QOPer with no committee assignments went on the House floor to end yesterday's House session early -- so she could justify anti-trans bigotry. But what is perhaps more important is: it is not science.

As a pretty esteemed magazine puts it: Stop Using Phony Science to Justify Transphobia

It's abhorrent... and don't even get me started on the way President Biden's female and POC color cabinet nominees are being held to very different standards now that the former occupant is gone. Who needs a robe when you can just wear a red hate hat?

Good morning, bloggers!!!

I fear that the GOP will not change for the better and I will not be shocked if it splits into two parties.

The news about Jim Ward makes me profoundly sad. I wish him and his wife what joy and comfort they can find.

Morning

Gawd that woman is just vile. (MTG that is) These people just have the blackest, most uncaring of hearts for anyone who doesn't fit in their tiny box of acceptable.

Most of these Republicans in Congress are cowards. They stood behind #45 because they were too scared to stand up to him (most bully's toadies are like that).

With him gone, now they rally around even worse people like MTG, because they're drawn to her flame of hate, and would be lost without it.

Ultimately, it is for many of them deciding who is really a human being. The first step to many atrocities is dehumanizing others to justify denying them their rights.

Good Morning.

There are Americans; then there are Fascists.

All of the latter have an "R" after their name.

Joe Biden is a total slacker.

PRESIDENT TRUMP would have knocked Tiger Woods out of the headlines within the hour.

Sheesh.

MTG and Boebert are representing the now Fascist GOP.

And apparently they believe they need to do it backwards and in high-heel army boots
