I've had it with these cretins. A guy who's running for Congress is gay. And proud. And out.

My straight marriage has never been affected by any couple's gay marriage. No one that I know of has married a horse -- as Rick Santorum predicted.

And whatever happened to those death panels that Sarah Palin was blathering on about?

All the GOP has to run on is fear and hatred of the "other."

Here's the thing -- the GOP gets people to vote against their own self interests by pushing anti-gay, immigrant, Mexican, transgender, etc. issues. They aren't really even issues. They are generated by the lie machines of FAUX news and other "news" outlets.

That's on the one hand. On the other, they are picking Americans' pockets.

Don't watch what they say. Watch what they do.

The GOP has a double-standard. They are led by a rapist, felon, liar and ignoramus, yet they

obsess over Americans' sex lives. Now with Kash Patel, the latest topic is bestiality. Are these huge problems in the lives of Americans? What about kitchen table issues? They certainly know how to distract from the real problems we are facing, like the price of everything, jobs, a 40 trillion dollar debt, an illegal war, failing institutions, et al. And hey, what about the Epstein files?

Yes to everything you said. And I believe the war was to distract from the Epstein files. This is what happens when you have an ignorant buffoon of a babyman attempting to run this country.... surrounded by incompetents.

And about 40 percent or so of the population who are a combination of racist, bigoted, fake religious, Faux news watching, incapable of critical thinking mental midgets. It’s the sad cult that has enabled this mess to exist.

Frosty McGillicuddy's avatar

That's true. They've always been there. The Moron-in-Chief has allowed every lizard to crawl out from under their rock. I think it's more like 30 percent, but either way... let's compromise and say 35%!

They will never address Epstein. Too much Frump involvement.

For anyone looking for the Death Panels, they've long since been privatized and are found in every insurance company declining treatments.

This double standard has protected Trump and his allies for 15 years. They say and do whatever they want, hurt people, and face really no consequences. I’m glad to see communities standing up for themselves because that is the precise way to fight this - by not taking it quietly! Call that shit out every chance you get! What consenting adults do in their bedrooms is nobody’s business. But anyone who sexually abuses children (or adults for that matter) belongs behind bars, regardless of who the F they are. I pray I’m around to see every last one of them face justice and jail time in GITMO.

I am so sick of them already. They have women beaters, child molesters ,lying cheating stealing scum and they go after a gay man living his life or transgender people only wanting to live their lives. They have allowed insider trading and they are also as guilty as the orange pile I try very hard not to even read anything about them anymore they are all disgusting

I say we finally follow through on the "mass outing of gay Repubs" thing we've been promised since the 1990s. It's way past time for being considerate of their privacy.

I believe that closeted members who vote against LGBTQ rights are jealous of men who can live their lives in the open, and want them to suffer along with them.

wtf does this have to do with his commitment to serve. This makes me so fucking pissed. And that furry comment from that other dude about pilots. Yet they’re ok with pedofiles???

Chris Gallant is an openly gay man. He is not hiding it. However, how many republicans are gay and in the closet, deceased Lindsey Graham and how many are sexual perverts, pedofiles and hiding it, Donald Trump. Gallant is not ashamed of who he is and is not hiding it. Turns out the myth of gay men being child molesters is just that. White Christian men are being exposed more and more every day as child molesters and abusers. Many are republicans and trump supporters.

The hypocrisy from the GOP is hardly surprising. This is the party that has perfected the double standard, as well as the smear.

Team,

Here are the actionable bullet points from Michael J. Luttig's article in The New Republic "The Final Battle for America's Democracy." Write your congress people. Jack up a journalist!

Dear Senator/Congressperson____________:

You owe everything you do to the People of the United States. You took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of these United States. Our representatives in Congress betrayed us on January 6, 2021. That can never happen again.

Therefore, I demand that our representatives in government, particularly Donald Trump and Mike Johnson, announce to and assure the People of the United States that they will not again attempt another coup d’etat and will pass on peacefully congressional power to the newly elected Congress.

I demand that You, ______________, and all members of congress, Democrats and Republicans, announce to the People of the United States that they will not be party to this unConstitutional plan not to seat elected Democrats to Congress on January 3, 2027

In addition, every journalist every day should be demanding that the People’s representatives in congress should affirm publicly that they will not be party to this grave Constitutional crime.

If this happens, We the People shall walk into a federal district court and seek a mandamus against the loyalist clerk requiring him to list the members elected by the People of the United States and certified by their respective states.

This is the double-edged sword of supporting a serial adulterer, rapist, proud sexual predator, and a pedophile. You can’t really stir up outrage about the sex lives of democratic candidates. All standards are out the window. And at least this young man is honest about his life and who he is, while, let’s be frank, the GOP is the party that crashes the Grindr website whenever they gather together while publicly proclaiming piety.

If the Frost Lady’s porn shots are just fine by MAGAts, and they are down with a pedophile crook for Prez, why would they care what anyone else does, ever?

pedophiles protect pedophiles and they are ALL PEDOPHILES.

‘Smith and Schock also went to Argentina with their aides.’

Not saying Argentine men aren’t hot but throwing in this trip like it is a gotcha is confusing.

From the Hill piece, perhaps i should add in for context. The trip wasn’t an offcials trip (the other names are the male aides):

Later that December, Schock posted Instagram photos of himself, Smith, Roman and Schock’s photographer, Jonathon Link, hanging out at a vineyard in the famed Mendoza wine region of Argentina and whitewater rafting the Andes rivers of Potrerillos. Schock paid Link thousands of dollars in taxpayer and campaign money to snap dramatic photos of him around the country and around the world.

Many of those photos ended up in Schock’s Instagram account. Some GOP aides said it was odd for lawmakers to be taking their staffers on exotic vacations.

“Most Hill staffers use vacation days to get away from their boss,” quipped one former Hill leadership aide.
