Ohh look Josh has forgotten half the population.

The Republican rush to oppose transgender people has taken a turn in Missouri, where Sen. Josh Hawley (R) is up for reelection. In a fundraising email to his supporters, Hawley asked folks to give to his campaign so he could help stop schools from teaching that there's more than one gender...

MSN

Heh, we all know which gender that's the only one Josh ever thinks about.

 

[cityboy-stl]

^^ That article is wrong. Josh Hawley is not up for reelection until 2024.

Roy Blunt's term is expiring. The race this year is between ChristoFascist Nazi Trumpite hate-monger Eric Schmitt who is the current Attorney General and first timer Trudy Busch Valentine of the Busch brewing family. I expect Schmitt to win, but I would like to be surprised.

It is true though, there is an awful lot of anti-trans rhetoric in various ads around here coming from the far reich.

John Gibbs. Republican candidate for Michigan US House Seat District 3 which is on the east side of Detroit (Wayne County). He defeated incumbent Peter Meijer in the primary. Peter Meijer voted to impeach Trump.

GOP congressional candidate said US suffered from women's suffrage and praised organization trying to repeal 19th Amendment

A Michigan candidate for the US House backed by former President Donald Trump once railed against giving women the right to vote, arguing that America has "suffered" since women's suffrage.

www.cnn.com

John Gibbs, who defeated in the primary an incumbent Republican who had voted to impeach Trump, also made comments in the early 2000s praising an organization trying to repeal the 19th Amendment which also argued that women’s suffrage had made the United States into a “totalitarian state.”

As a student at Stanford University in the early 2000s, Gibbs founded a self-described “think tank” called the Society for the Critique of Feminism that argued women did not “posess (sic) the characteristics necessary to govern,” and said men were smarter than women because they are more likely to “think logically about broad and abstract ideas in order to deduce a suitable conclusion, without relying upon emotional reasoning.”

Hosted on Gibbs’ personal page at Stanford in 2000 and 2001, the Society for the Critique of Feminism argued for a patriarchal society run by men, calling it “the best model for the continued success of a society.”

And I'll bet he's single, ladies......

Oh no, without cheating on google I'd bet he's got a longsuffering wife who walks 5 feet behind him with her head pointed to the ground. Within conservative black church culture (I'm sure he identifies as Christian too, call it an educaed guess) there's no shortage of voluntary handmaids who believe their role is to give their man dinner orgasms and babies and not speak too loudly or dress too provocatively, lest his sexually predatory compatriots be tempted to pursue her behind his back. There's lots of that in church culture too, lots of banging each other's wives. Go to any older black church in America and you'll find a family of 6 and one of the kids looks nothing like did but bears a striking resemblance to "Uncle Pete." These people are masters at sweeping the most obvious shit under the rug. I'm gonna head to google now and see how accurate my prediction is.

Oh wow, no wife. Ever. Ok, he's the Type B republican.

*the B stands for Bussy

The perfect storm of deplorable.

This guy had more issues than People Magazine long before he went to DC in Jan, 2021. People around him enabled him and they're still making excuses for him. He got up in a Federal Court and claimed he had nooooo idea that Congress was in the Capitol and they were certifying an election. His coworkers gave statements that he really was a deplorable person. His family members are portraying him as an innocent martyr.

It's a little frightening that someone like this is walking around in society and somewhere 4 years from now, he'll be back on the streets again. It wouldn't be a surprise if he were to run for Congress after he gets out. He would be a perfect Freedom Caucus candidate.

This is post #1,752 in the Deplorables thread. It's almost as if someone overturned a rock in 2016 and guys like Timothy Hale-Cusanelli came slithering out.

Recurring themes:

Herschel Walker’s Company Said It Donated Profits, but Evidence Is Scant (Published 2022)

The Georgia Republican candidate claimed his business donated 15 percent of its profits to charities. Three of the four groups named as recipients say they didn’t receive money.

www.nytimes.com

Mr. Walker, a former football star, pledged that 15 percent of profits would go to charities, a promise the company said was “part of its corporate charter.” For years, Mr. Walker’s company named four specific charities as beneficiaries of those donations, including the Boy Scouts of America and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

But there is scant evidence that Mr. Walker’s giving matched those promises. When The New York Times contacted those four charities, one declined to comment and the other three said they had no record or recollection of any gifts from the company in the last decade.

Donald Trump Lashes Out at Media While Detailing Gifts to Veterans (Published 2016)

Mr. Trump angrily listed veterans’ groups that he said had received $5.6 million in gifts and demanded that journalists credit his act of charity.

www.nytimes.com

In January, fuming at Fox News, he skipped the final Republican debate before the Iowa caucuses because that network was hosting it. He held his own competing event, a televised fund-raiser that he said would benefit military veterans, and announced from the stage that he had raised more than $6 million, including $1 million he was donating himself.

But the full amount did not materialize quickly, and The Washington Post reported a week ago that Mr. Trump had yet to make his own donation.

Tracking the brazen pattern of Trump fraud

“We have seen this before, carried out by Letitia James' predecessors, by the very same office,” says Chris Hayes on the Trump Foundation scheme. “And while criminal charges did not materialize then, they could now.”

JR Majewski. Republican candidate for US House Ohio District 9 which is currently held by Democrat Marcy Kaptur. Majewski is a Trump endorsed candidate. Jim Jordan has endorsed him. Mike Flynn has endorsed him. He's been a frequent guest on Tucker Carlson and NewsMax.

He's also a liar.

Majewski has been running commercials touting his military service, claiming that he was an Air Force combat veteran who deployed to Afghanistan after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He has given interviews describing “tough” conditions including a lack of running water that forced him to go more than 40 days without a shower.

Turns out that he was a mechanic at a military base in Qatar for 6 months and he never saw combat. Ever.

Ohio GOP House candidate has misrepresented military service

Republican J.R. Majewski has campaigned for a northwestern Ohio congressional seat by presenting himself as an Air Force combat veteran who deployed to Afghanistan after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

House GOP cuts loose candidate who misled about military service

The move comes a day after an Associated Press report that Kaptur’s opponent, JR Majewski, lied about his resume, including claiming that he deployed to Afghanistan.

I wouldn't doubt at all that Majewski goes 40 days without showering. But not because of lack of water.

Project Veritas got hit with a $120,000 court judgment for illegal wiretapping. Project Veritas is one of those dirty trickster groups that try to entrap progressives on audio and video recordings that they then selectively edit and release to conservative "news" outlets.

Or as Wikipedia explains it:

Project Veritas is an American far-right activist group founded by James O'Keefe in 2010. The group produces deceptively edited videos of its undercover operations, which use secret recordings in an effort to discredit mainstream media organizations and progressive groups. Project Veritas also uses entrapment to generate bad publicity for its targets, and has propagated disinformation and conspiracy theories in its videos and operations.

Since most of the funding comes from the Koch brothers, this verdict and the legal fees will come out of the money that Koch has donated to Project Veritas through Donors Trust.

Project Veritas loses jury verdict to Democratic consulting firm

A federal jury has found Project Veritas, a conservative group often accused of using deceptive tactics, liable for violating wiretapping laws and misrepresenting itself in an undercover effort to target Democratic political consultants.

Jurors in Washington on Thursday awarded $120,000 to a member of Democracy Partners, co-founded by self-described progressive strategist Robert Creamer.

Deplorable Hall of Famer Tucker Carlson has been showing pictures of the executives of a children's hospital on his show because they provide care to transgender children. He's been making statements that contain subtle suggestions, saying that the executives "deserve" the bomb threads that they are getting.

He also uses phrases like "chemical castration" repeatedly like something out of "1984" or "V for Vendetta".

There's also lots QAnon conspiracy coded language about "protecting children".
