'Evil is being defeated by God': Marjorie Taylor Greene celebrates after Pope's death

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) celebrated following the death of Pope Francis on Monday. "Today there were major shifts in global leaderships," Greene wrote on X just hours after the pontiff died. "Evil is being defeated by the hand of God." Greene's remarks came after Rep. Nancy Mace's...

Matt Walsh has gone full on KKK...
View attachment 472636

Matt Walsh has always been an odious far right fuckhead. It amazes me that he can walk down a street without someone wanting to punch his face in. Then again, he probably lives somewhere where he’s surrounded by similar contemptible oxygen thieves…

I am seeing people - mostly Americans - actually celebrating that it's okay to spew out the word "retarded" whenever they want again because Joe Rogan says so and wokeness is over.

Oh, and it doesn't really mean anything to do with intellectual disabilties, they insist.

The biggest WTF of all is seeing so many people claiming to be autistic or whatever else insisting the same thing and using it proudly themselves.

As a non-neurotypical person myself, I feel like I'm going completely insane. I can't really process the world around me at all anymore at this point.

I have the radio dial in the shower tuned to one of the American channels for military folk. It's fascinating to hear - the news feed alternates between ABC and Fox. Although, lately it seems to be much more of the latter.

The DJs pop songs and patter is interspersed with warnings and infomercials about drinking too much, being on your best behaviour, how to interact with your host nation etc.

But this morning I've just heard a message from a Pentagon hotshot (not Hegseth) praising the achievements of Trump's first 100 days, praising Hegseth, job recruitment for the army, the brave fight against the Houthis, and welcoming back veterans who involuntarily left the forces after refusing to take the experimental covid 19 vaccines.

Obviously, by its very nature, these stations are going to present the US (and its military presence) in a positive light - but have not heard it so blatantly done before.

Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but as it relates to fascism, plain and simple, here's as good as any. Can someone please explain to me how there is any question of whether this was a crime or not? It's like the Nazis on the bridge getting politely moved on by the police. I believe that decision is being looked at now, or maybe it was just because questions were asked about their behaviour, so it's a good get out to say it's being looked at.

Interesting essay on the origins of the marriage of populism and capital that are the antecedents of the continuing right current in US politics:

Genesis of the Modern American Right - JSTOR Daily

During the Great Depression, financial elites translated European fascism into an American form that joined high capital with lower middle-class populism.

daily.jstor.org

Notes that there was a concerted effort to learn from the use of Blackshirt squadism and to import it into attempts to suppress organised labour back home.

It's Miller Time

Outrage after Republican representative disparages Sikh prayer in the US House

Mary Miller had first mistaken Giani Singh for a Muslim and said it was ‘deeply troubling’ he was allowed to lead prayer

www.theguardian.com

Tldr

Republican shows her anti-Sikh and anti-Muslim credentials and says the US is a Christian nation; so they can't have a "Muslim" leading prayers in the House.

A disturbing look into the world of Yarvin and his rich, connected chums. Be warned, it's a long read and being the New Yorker; there's several words that might require looking up.

On the plus side - they all seem to dislike each other and there's so many ideologies competing and contradicting; hopefully it will eventually come tumbling down.

Hopefully.

For Pride month we were given a list of talking points to address anyone who complains about the pride display. Part of what we were told was that if we suspected that someone was checking out large numbers of books with the idea of destroying them, to allow it. At some point fines apply (we automatically renew items twice), and after that collection fees. So we have a way of recouping the costs and will simply reorder new books. In any case, it's probably safest not to argue with militants.

Not even Superman is safe from MAGA

‘Superwoke’: Fox News rages that new Superman film has ‘pro-immigrant themes’

‘It’s about human kindness and obviously there will be jerks out there who are just not kind and will take it as offensive just because it is about kindness,’ Superman director James Gunn said last week, setting off a MAGA outrage cycle.

Usual suspects are crying over Superman's immigrant background, because of course they are!

I'm one of those people who used to say gay and retarded as pejorative and I never meant bad by it, it was just slang
They were good adjectives.
Thinking about it, I shouldn't have yelled it on that cafe, they were right to call the police

Sorry I had a serious point and gave up writing it.


I have been guilty of lots of pejoratives, I have opinions on things but the world isn't about me so if people get offended I will modify.
There's something really disgusting about how 'its ok to say retarded' . I used it and it was a good adjective because the slang matched the literal meaning. But you are still allowed to use idiotic which is the old adjective.
let people swear in their own way

I've just had a look at this utter scumbag's timeline on Twitter. He's retweeting posts from accounts such as the Auchwitz Memorial who have quoted him criticising his tweet like it's some sort of badge of honour. Kicking to death, where do I sign up?

How the fuck did we let these people become so emboldened that they think they can threaten people openly? Sooner or later, we're going to have to have a reckoning with this strain of our political spectrum--preferably soon, and with piano wire at Nurenberg.

And this grinning, deeply religious little shit is pumping out offensive nonsense like this on a regular basis. He has also proposed that women migrants be allowed stay only if they marry right wing Californian incels.
