So a question that I'd like to see these wack-jobs answer:

My GF works as a sonographer at a high-risk OB clinic. On thursday, she did a scan of a patient who already has 3 kids, and is pregnant with twins. On the scan, it was discovered that one of the twins did not have a fully developed skull...basically no bone structure above the brow line. Obviously this baby would not survive delivery, and the continuation of the pregnancy would put both the mother, and the other child, at huge risk.

What would dumb mf'er Cawthorn have them do in that circumstance?

(the patient had a 'selective reduction'...an abortion of the non-viable fetus)

It's god's plan to have the twins and then probably a reference to how Tim Tebow was supposed to be aborted, but his mother listened to god instead and then he turned out to be the greatest athlete ever.

These people see issues in black and white and dont have the nuance to think about specifics like this.

Or what about ectopic pregnancies?

Guess the woman has to die because the fallopian tube bursts.

It was God's will.

The ghost of Pat McCarran in shambles.

McCarran's career in the Senate was marked by his ardent anti-communism and antisemitism, support for the aviation industry, and conflict with the Franklin Roosevelt administration over the New Deal and cooperation with the Soviet Union in World War II.

McCarran used his legislative skill to prevent immigration by Holocaust survivors, opposing admission of Jews and potential communists.

Wow, what a fucking peach.

Sidenote: I'll be in Vegas Tuesday through Friday for a planning conference for Red Flag next July.

Send me a PM if you think you might have time to get together for a couple drinks Wednesday or Thursday. You’d have to come downtown (Wednesday) or Strip (Thursday) because I don’t have a car.

I also don't have a car, but I'm sure I can Uber or something.

There are 4 of us going from my base and they only gave us 1 rental. Pretty dumb.

Figured you guys were either staying at or near Nellis. That's not the cheapest Uber, but we can figure it out if you're interested.

What really makes it funny is that autocorrect would’ve picked it up as a misspelling. So either they disengaged that function, they misspell it so often that their iPhone thinks it must be a real word, or they were convinced their spelling was right and autocorrect was wrong.

She’s really as dumb as a fucking post.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Sun Dec 12, 2021 3:02 pm

I think a lot of conservative "mistakes" are really done on purpose for distraction and/or trying to make things seem light, but this is not one of those.

This performative back and forth on CSPAN is something else, man.

It's about time she fucking called it. That entire relationship seemed to be a front for him not being a Nazi and trying to keep up appearances more than anything. She did what Melania and so many other Mafia wives couldn't.

Still makes me laugh that she was a random Instagram follow because I started CrossFit a long while back and she was a hot chick to follow once I downloaded the app.

They look so happy! Sucks they can't get a refund on their honeymoon to Doha. 🤷‍♂️

Pennsylvania's Mary Gay Scanlon, a Democratic congresswoman serving parts of Philly, was carjacked yesterday. Most outlets focused on the crime itself. Of course, one focused on the fact that she sponsored a bill on police reform.

And they chose a picture from the archive that showed her with a relatively goofy look on her face.

The thing is, to keep Fox News' viewers attention, they will only get worse.

And they insinuate “police reform” means she wants to abolish all law enforcement.

Yeah but the IRONY is that she wanted police reform and yet … probably wanted police to kills the guys who stole her car?

I honestly don't know how anyone can stand that hectoring tone for ten minutes - even if you agree with every word he says.

Probably just me, but I don't have the patience to listen to any political commentators. I know what I believe, and 30 seconds of smarm and smirk are about all I can take. (Clearly this applies more to the Right wing assholes, but after a couple minutes of Rachel Maddow, I wanted to throw a bottle through the TV.)

My pulse escalates watching MSNBC as much as it would if I were to be forced to watch Fox. They both doomsday-clock the shit out your sensibilities: and just because Fox is primarily made up of lying bags of shit doesn’t make it any better.

Oh, trust me. I have to pick and choose the videos I watch from lefty sources like this. Kyle, Krystal Ball, David Pakman, John Iadarola, Sam Seder, TYT, etc...all come across a bit rough. Agreeable to me, but jeeeez ussss. Hell, I love Hasan Piker too, but he literally says "dude" every other word and it's unlistenable. I've switched to watching more of someone like Vaush because he's far more thorough with his topics and has a much better tone.

It kinda makes me realize that I come across like an asshole too when I think or know something and am determined to prove a point

This story from Cawthorn about meeting his bride raises a whole lot of questions:

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 7:42 pm

Aaron Rupar really hits the buzzwords and removes context.

If you actually listen to the minute long clip, he met a dude in the Army that he made friends with in Russia. I mean, it's not unheard of. You can visit Russia. It's not disallowed. My buddy did a cruise that hit Helsinki, St. Petersburg, and Tallinn. Dude invited him to meet a chick in Miami.

Now is that the same story you'll get from his soon to be ex wife? I have more questions because it's a weird way to meet someone, but I don't see anything nefarious about this.
