The DeSantis Video Targeting LGBTQ Community is the Most Reprehensible Political Ad in Recent History

Politicians from mayors to senators to presidential candidates throughout our culturally, racially and sexually diverse country marked Pride Month by issuing proclamations in support of the LGBTQ community, participating in Pride parades or by making speeches.

TheDeSantis War Room Twitter account released a video marking the end of Pride Month Friday featuring footage of Trump at the 2016 Republican National Convention pledging to protect LGBTQ citizens in the wake of the mass shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. This blatantly homophobic video blasts Trump for his previous support of the LGBTQ community, the GOP frontrunner has got with the program and now he never fails to mock the transgender community at his MAGA rallies.

The video is so offensive that two of his rival Republican presidential candidates and the Log Cabin Republicans the nation’s largest Republican organization dedicated to representing LGBT conservatives denounced it in no uncertain terms.

Is it any wonder that the largest LGBTQ rights organization in the U.S issued a travel advisory for Florida, warning that newly passed laws and policies pose risks to gay travelers?

As governor DeSantis has turned Florida into a racist and homophobic shithole. Don’t let DeSantis turn America into Florida: vote for the Democratic presidential candidate, even if it turns out to be the senile Biden!

Battle for Speaker: A GOP Clown Show! Kevin McCarthy Humiliated

Kevin McCarthy

Nancy Pelosi served as the 52nd speaker of the United States House of Representatives from 2007 to 2011 and again from 2019 to 2023. Pelosi was a consummate politician who served as Speaker with an iron grip by eliciting respect, admiration and fear from her caucus. She never allowed the House to devolve into the chaos that reigns supreme now that the GOP controls the lower chamber.

Kevin McCarthy has lost a second round of voting; this is unprecedented in the last 100 years. The Republican Party is in disarray. If Republicans can’t even nominate a Speaker, how will they pass any substantial legislation?

Answer, they won’t. They don’t have a legislative agenda, strap your seat belt on, and get ready for a wild ride of phony investigations of Dr. Fauci, Hunter Biden and maybe even an impeachment of Joe Biden, never mind that he hasn’t committed any crimes or misdemeanors worthy of an impeachment.

The Republicans have been in control of the House for only one day and the Clown Show is in full effect with the Freedom Caucus serving as the ringmasters.

It doesn’t matter who ends up being the Speaker: McCarthy, Scalise, Jordan or anybody else. it’s going to be a shit show.

The Real Pedophiles Are in Trump’s GOP & Evangelical Church Not the Democratic Pary

GOP Pedo Party

QAnon cultists subscribe to myriad conspiracy theories, but their main conspiracy theory is that a cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiles rule the world.

QAnon cultist and white evangelicals are incestuous cousins and they share many of the same absurd beliefs, and they are always accusing Democratic politicians and Hollywood celebrities of pedophilia.

Although they have no problem embracing evangelical/conservative genuine pedophiles like Matt Gaetz and Roy Moore.

Evangelicals are masters of projection; their ranks are infested with pedophiles and men who sexually abuse women and girls.  The sexualization and grooming of teenage girls into early marriage and pregnancy is common in evangelical and fundamentalist circles.

Pedophilia is rampant is patriarchal organizations like the Roman Catholic Church and the Southern Baptist Convention. Evangelicals believe in the same mantra as pimps, “Pimps up, Ho’s down”, although they would phrase it using theological words.

The ideal evangelical woman is married, pregnant, busy in the kitchen and leaves home only to shop for groceries and to attend church.

Evangelical Republicans have an anti-women agenda, and they aren’t content with overturning Roe, contraceptive justice and same-sex marriage are in their gun sights.

Its’ imperative for citizens who love freedom and democracy, regardless if they are mainline Protestants, progressive Catholics, or atheists to come together to defeat the anti-female, anti-democratic evangelical movement.

Top Ten Things Overheard at Cawthorne’s Republican Cocaine Orgy

Donald Trump Jr: Bitches get out of my way! I’m here for the cocaine!

GOP Congressman Sparks Outrage for Family Christmas Pic with Guns Days After School Shooting

“A US congressman has posted a Christmas picture of himself and what appears to be his family, smiling and posing with an assortment of guns, just days after four teenagers were killed in a shooting at a high school in Michigan.

Thomas Massie of Kentucky tweeted: ‘Merry Christmas! ps. Santa, please bring ammo.’”

The Guardian

When politicians mail Christmas cards to their constituents or post Christmas images on Twitter, they usually take one of the following routes:

Corny

They will don nauseatingly cheesy yuletide sweaters and pose in front of a Christmas tree, hoping that the self-deprecating image will elicit votes.

Religious

They will pose in front of a nativity scene with a banner reading “Jesus is the Reason for the Season” in the background, trusting that their display of religiosity will translate into votes.

Secular

They will dress like Santa and pose in front of a sleigh laden with gifts, believing that their secular take on Xmas will appeal to voters of all religions.

Rep. Thomas Massie took a different approach, he posted a pic of himself and his family wearing shit-eating grins and brandishing assault rifles. I guess he wants to appeal to the Republican base, gun-toting fanatics.

It’s an indictment of our democracy that Massie’s Christmas image will be successful in burnishing his image.

To Preserve Democracy We Must Defeat the GOP and White Evangelicals

The priorities of white evangelicals are ending abortion, opposing vaccines, protecting 2nd amendment rights, limiting the reach and authority of the federal government, restricting immigration, denying climate change, crusading against critical race theory and demonizing the LGBTQ community.

The aforementioned priorities of white evangelicals are the same as the policy preferences and principles of the Republican Party, so it’s not surprising that over 80 percent of Republicans voted to reelect Donald Trump.

The subjects that evangelicals are enthralled with have nothing to do with answering the existential questions that religion is supposed to answer: what is the meaning of life, how can I be a moral person, how can I best serve my community, what does God expect of us …

When the mission statements of a political party and a religious movement are almost identical there is something rotten in Denmark.

A religion is supposed to think in terms of the eternal, whereas politics is concerned with the current news cycle. A spiritual person expects the rewards of fealty to his faith to be peace of mind, love for his fellow man and a sense of unity with the divine. A politician expects the rewards of loyalty to his party to be temporal power and influence.

White evangelicals and Republicans have the same objectives: the subjugation of religious, racial and political minorities, and by any means necessary keeping the white power structure intact.

Striving to form a more perfect union means being cognizant of the existential threats to democracy: authoritarian political parties and intolerant religious groups that seek to impose their religious views on citizens.

White evangelicals and the Trumpian Republican Party are anathema to democracy.

Republican Candidates Risk Losing by Defending Trump

“Earlier this month, the Senate Republican campaign arm circulated a memo with shocking advice to GOP candidates on responding to coronavirus: “Don’t defend Trump, other than the China Travel Ban — attack China.”

The Trump campaign was furious.

On Monday — just days after POLITICO first reported the existence of the memo — Trump political adviser Justin Clark told NRSC executive director Kevin McLaughlin that any Republican candidate who followed the memo’s advice shouldn’t expect the active support of the reelection campaign and risked losing the support of Republican voters.”

Politico

Donald Trump expects unquestioned loyalty from Republican senators, and even a nuanced criticism of his policies results in automatic condemnation on Twitter.

Trump’s dementia has taken a toll on his mental acuity, but he remembers every perceived slight and he’s not one to forgive and forget.

Therefore, Trump was outraged at the Senate Republican campaign arm for circulated a memo advising Republican Senators running for reelection not to defend him.

It should be noted that it’s not unusual for senators and congresspeople running for reelection to distance themselves from the incumbent president of their own party. Even popular presidents, like Obama, make mistakes during their tenure and politicians usually run touting their own merits.

Trump’s base will remain faithful to their false messiah, come hell or high water. But after Trump’s disastrous management of the coronavirus pandemic, I expect more than a few Republican senators to practice social distancing from the president.

Trump is a stinking pile of dung and he’s made such a mess out the coronavirus pandemic that fewer and fewer Republicans will risk losing their seats by defending the indefensible.
