It’s nice how they’ve replicated the middle school dynamic of the insecure bully and his sniveling sidekick picking on someone surrounded by a circle of scared little boys who also try to talk shit so the bully doesn’t come after them.

Or as the right calls it, “masculinity.”

Why is it that, when we read “Shocking Police Cover-Up” as a headline, we’re never really shocked? 🤷‍♂️

Every transphobic argument can basically be boiled down to: "I actually don't know the science at all or have a good argument here, but trans people challenge my long held view of the world and it's very uncomfortable and everyone should be expected to move around my discomfort."

Article from The Hill:

Nancy Mace introduces bill to bar trans women from Capitol restrooms

Article from The Hill: Nancy Mace introduces bill to bar trans women from Capitol restrooms

This is a proposed law targeting exactly one person: Incoming trans Congresswoman Sarah McBride of Delaware. Nancy Mace is a transphobic, hateful troll who voted with teen rapist Matt Gaetz to depose her own party’s speaker, but the bathrooms. That’s where she’s focused.

My favorite nicknames from the past day or so:

“The Broligarchy”

“Groper Cleveland”

Just absorbing the fact that the first order of business in the new QAnon-inflected MAGA Republican era is to demand that Congress bury its report on sex trafficking and drug allegations against a Republican member of Congress who they're trying to promote to higher office.

So, do we need to convince a couple of left-leaning billionaires to make big investments in media?

Donald Trump now has less than 50% of the popular vote, leading 49.9 to 48.2. It was not a landslide victory or "mandate" by any means.
