Feel free to file suit if you feel discriminated against or are you worried that 200K budget won’t cover you?

Or is this your kind of guy?

Robert Foster, a Mississippi Republican businessman who ran for governor in 2019, says he wants supporters of transgender rights "to be lined up against (a) wall before a firing squad to be sent to an early judgment."

Then you can also feel free to sue TN for what they're doing.

Why is it valid for you to complain about discrimination based on sexual orientation, but not me? I'm curious.

Things change when you say things like
Captain Venmo Matt Gaetz voted against capping insulin prices for people who have diabetes b/c he believes, “people should just lose weight."

Once again, MAGA proves they don't understand SCIENCE & must be the loudest & most ignorant in the room.

But the base loves it

Why is the “everyone who disagrees with me is a pedophile” message working better there?
Or does the base think they’ll be all set with child marriages?

Now you’re equating liberals 200K in spending with Republicans in Tennessee legalizing pedophilia
Okay, it’s pretty obvious where you’re at

Nope. You also complained about this...

"Tennessee Republicans are advancing a bill that creates a separate, privileged class of marriage for heterosexual couples,"

You complained that the GOP was discriminating against gays on the basis of sexual orientation.

I complained that CA is discriminating against heterosexuals on the basis of sexual orientation, and you won't comment on it.

"it’s pretty obvious where you’re at"

It's more obvious where you're "at", and it's a sad place where you deny and pathologically lie about every single little thing that doesn't favor the left.

You can't even be honest about what you posted a couple of hours ago.

I was told Roe was settled law. Now it’s pretty clear Roe is gone. I was told that LGBTQ rights were settled law, now I see Republicans attacking them ferociously. It’s hard not to see where this is going.

Busy day for the GQP:

- 63 Republicans vote no to supporting NATO
- TN GOP proposes “Marry Little Kids” bill
- Tom Cotton calls Ketanji Brown Jackson a Nazi
- OH pushes Don’t Say Gay/Race bill
- GOP to host CPAC with Orban in Hungary
- Oklahoma GOP passes total abortion ban

there was a time ( thanks to democrats) hat slavery was settled law. There was a time ( also thanks to democrats) that segregation was settled law. There was a time when prohibition was settled law. There was a time when gay marriage prohibition was settled law.

from where do you get the idea, that laws can never be overturned?

roe isn’t even close to gone. and even if it were, that just means states get to decide. liberal states will always allow abortion, so the worst case scenario is that women in red states need to go to a blue state. that’s the worst it can ever get. and we’re nowhere near that today.

And Cotton did not come close to calling her a nazi. check your facts, liar.

and pete, OK didn’t vote on a total abortion ban. it voted on a ban of abortions that weren’t necessary to save a pregnant woman in an emergency. it voted to ban voluntary abortions.

What’s the longest you can go without lying? you’re a lot like trump
in this regard.

you’re totally unhinged.

Not rape or incest, how else would you get more Okies

The bill would criminalise performing an abortion in almost all cases, except where it could "save the life of a pregnant woman in a medical emergency".

you said it was a total ban. you lied.

you said Cotton called the judge a Nazi. you lied. to support your claim, you posted a video where Cotton didn’t call her a Nazi.

off to a good start today.

as to rape/incest. if you believe that the baby is a human being at conception, then the circumstances surrounding the conception don’t change the status of the baby. i’m not saying i agree with that, but it’s a consistent principle.

Can’t compete with Jim’s logic

Tom Cotton Says Jackson Has 'Interest in Helping Terrorists,' Such as Nazis

So what was his meaning ? She’s a Nazi Sympathizer

Yet Jim claimed Jackson just by defending people as a lawyer. Agrees with them

And I love we’ll there an exception for the life of the mother so there’s not a total ban

Like I said disingenuous

Cotton said she might defend them
as a lawyer. lawyers defend bad people all the time.

you’re lying too. sign of desperation because even you sense what’s coming.

if the ban still allows for abortion, please explain how it’s a total ban.

it’s impossible having an adult conversation with you.

a total ban, means no abortions whatsoever.

i called it exactly what it was, a ban on abortions except in cases where the moms life was in danger

pete lied and called it a total ban

but i’m being disingenuous.

gotcha.

You think that anyone would risk the exposure to a felony charge?
That these political laws currently being proposed by Trumplicans are designed to do any less than that?

Senator Tom Cotton says Ketanji Brown Jackson would defend Nazis.

Nonsense. Why would she ever want to defend him?

Jim, you’re projecting again.
Pretty typical for a Trumplican

As Republicans accuse others of being “groomers,” new details are surfacing about Congressman John Rose (R-TN), who met his now-wife in his 40s while she was an underage teenager. He paid her with a scholarship that she says “made everything possible” and then married her.

Well within the norm…..

what did i project, exactly?

you lied about the OK bill. And you lied about what Senator Cotton said.

yes, every single republican is a pervert

Pete, any 12 year old
knows that the only reason you distort republican behavior so crazily, is that you are terrified at the thought of having an honest and accurate discussion of what each side believes and does. you know you can’t win an honest discussion, so you frame it by painting both sides in an absurd extreme fashion- liberals are saints who walk on water, republicans are monsters who can’t do a single thing well. There are no facts to support that, but you so desperately want us to believe it


NO ONE who is secure and comfortable in their beliefs, needs to demonize everyone who disagrees with them on anything, the way you do

It’s clearly, obviously, a defense
mechanism.

Bitch slapped.

Facts First: Both Graham and Cornyn left out important context. Specifically, neither mentioned that Jackson's allegation of war crimes was about torture. Also, Jackson didn't explicitly use the phrase "war criminal."

It was about torture

Here’s another little fact

None of Jackson's four Guantanamo clients was ever convicted. Each of them was eventually released from Guantanamo.

Do some researching please

the fact that her clients were released, doesn’t mean much.

she also wrote amicus briefs for
terrorists who weren’t her clients.

she’s going to get confirmed, no chance of a different outcome

the other point is this. Cotton didn’t even come close to calling her a Nazi.

Tom Cotton attacked Ketanji Brown Jackson by invoking name of American judge Robert Jackson who went to Nuremberg to prosecute Nazi war criminals, claiming Brown Jackson would've gone to Nuremberg to defend Nazis.
This smear of Ketanji Brown Jackson was especially odious & offensive in view of Tom Cotton's previous lie that he served as an Army Ranger under combat conditions in Iraq & Afghanistan. Same Tom Cotton who never condemned Trump for calling Nazis "very fine people."
Tom Cotton is a despicable racist lowlife.
Under the Constitution everyone has the right to legal representation. John Adams defended the British soldiers from the Boston massacre because everyone deserves legal representation.
Not just the wealthy.

Only in Jim’s world unless it’s actually said by a Conservatives exactly. It’s not True . Even if everyone understands the message

Jim, why do Trumplicans always project?
Former Trump aide, RNC operative, and “pro-life” activist Ruben Verastigui has just been sentenced to 12+ years in prison for child porn. He posted about how the sexual abuse of babies is his “absolute favorite.” There are allegedly more Republican staffers to come.

Anthony Weiner, Harvey Weinstein, Eric Swalwell, Bill Clinton, Tex Kennedy, Eliot Spitzer, Andrew Cuomo, more republican perverts.

if that guy was sentenced by Jackson, she’d probably have given him community service.
