Hours After Mass Shooting, GOP Candidate Says Time to ‘Move On’ and ‘Celebrate’
Hours after a gunman opened fire during an Independence Day parade in a Chicago suburb, Illinois state Senator Darren Bailey, a Republican, called for people to “move on and… celebrate.”
I bet if you ask him about what he intends to do to curb mass shootings and gun violence in America, he’ll tell you it’s “too soon” and “not the time for politics”.
Notice how it's never "the right time" to talk about gun control? Or mental illness? Or anything the GOP doesn't want to do? Convenient, that.
Pray the gun violence away. Whatever we do though, let us not devolve to the point where we can have an honest discussion about gun control and find ANY compromise at all that might actually help prevent it.
When asked by CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union" whether children similar to a 10-year-old child abuse victim who traveled from Ohio to Indiana to receive an abortion should be forced to give birth, Noem said, "This tragedy is horrific. I can't even imagine. I have never had anybody in my family or myself gone through anything like this. ... But, in South Dakota, the law today is that the abortions are illegal, except to save the life of the mother."
She would force a ten year old victim of abuse to give birth?! What kind of inhuman monster do you have to be to think that is a good idea.
They keep saying that they are guided by their faith in these decisions... But if they think that this is what Jesus would want, then they never really understood what he was talking about.
These people are f**king nuts.
Not only are the punishing a child for being raped, which is heinous by itself, a 10 year old’s body is not equipped to carry a pregnancy to term. In addition to the increased risks of hypertensive disorders and their sequelae, there’s a strong likelihood that this child would need to undergo a caesarean delivery, which is major surgery and carries risks of hemorrhage, infection, and damage to adjacent structures such as the bowel/bladder. Not to mention that a c-section recovery can be brutal. Did I also mention that a baby born to a 10 year old is likely to be premature if it survives? And who’s going to support the costs of childbirth and a NICU stay? Even women with extremely good health insurance can have out of pocket costs of $3000 at the minimum, and that’s assuming an uncomplicated vaginal delivery.
Let me tell you that many ADULT women struggle with pregnancy and childbirth. It has the potential to be one of the most terrifying and traumatic experiences of one’s life, depending on what happens. The pain of childbirth is no joke— there’s a reason why nearly 70% in the US receive an epidural at some point during the process. And hemorrhage is a very real and common complication. I’ve seen people lose over 4L of blood during/after childbirth.
These anti-choice politicians are sick in the head to want a child to endure any of this. They are actively promoting the suffering of an innocent child for a clump of tissue. It’s just so wrong.
Missouri lawmakers seek to gag pharmacists on ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine sulfate
A bill passed by the Missouri legislature this past session prohibits pharmacists from telling patients about dangers related to certain medications — specifically, ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine sulfate tablets.
Missouri state rep resigns after federal conviction for COVID-19 fraud scheme
Missouri state Rep. Tricia Derges (R) was convicted on Tuesday after she applied for nearly $900,000 in CARES Act funds for what she said were COVID-19 testing costs incurred by nonprofit Lift Up, but the organization never provided any testing services, according to a press release from the Department of Justice (DOJ).
The further I read this article, the clearer it becomes that the corruption and criminal behavior here is breathtaking in its scope and she seems to have not a whit of remorse. Checks all the boxes to have that (R) after her name...
Don't forget Rick Roeber, R, MOHD 34, who got elected despite credible allegations of sexual assault from all of his own children
Or Nick Schroer who got elected in a district he provably didn't live in and managed to win in court anyway
Or Justin Hill who skipped his swearing in Ceremony to participate in the Jan 6 insurrection
The Republican Plot to Turn Back the Clock Is Just Getting Started
As told by former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson this week, on January 6, 2021, President Donald Trump went to a “Stop the Steal” rally, hoping to meet a crowd of armed and angry supporters whom he expected to personally lead to the U.S. Capitol; he lashed out when he was told that no, he could not join his mob in their collective mission. Hutchinson’s account sent shock waves through the media, and for good reason: Her testimony speaks to Trump’s intentions that day, a pattern of facts that’s often very necessary but very elusive in successful criminal prosecutions.
Mark my words Republicans are moving to dismantle American politics and install a semi-presidential regime like Russia.
Signs are all here.
