We're further along the fascism path than anyone wants to admit.

House Bill 196 defines ritual abuse as abuse that occurs as “part of an event or act designed to commemorate, celebrate, or solemnize a particular occasion or significance in a religious, cultural, social, institutional, or other context.”
By this definition, the murder of kids in schools qualifies as ritual abuse. Thoughts and prayers!

Shame they specified children, because otherwise this might have had the side effect of banning hazing rituals.

I think they just accidentally made it illegal to have kids in a Catholic church service, which really will lead to less abuse even if the fake-but-they-believe-it's-real cannibalism and the tiny bit of alcohol aren't the real abuse going on there.

Look, people have the right to vote for whoever they want. You do you.

But who is that one doofus in South Carolina who voted for Ron DeSantis tonight?

The presence of these individuals has been a persistent issue at CPAC. In previous years, conference organizers have ejected well-known Nazis and white supremacists such as Nick Fuentes.

But this year, racist conspiracy theorists didn’t meet any perceptible resistance at the conference where Donald Trump has been the keynote speaker since 2017.

At the Young Republican mixer Friday evening, a group of Nazis who openly identified as national socialists mingled with mainstream conservative personalities, including some from Turning Point USA, and discussed “race science” and antisemitic conspiracy theories.

I know, right?

Lefties generally cop to the fact that communism is extreme left, but a lot of conservatives have an inability to likewise admit that fascism (which is what the nazis were) is extreme right.

They've actually had the nerve to say that fascism and communism are both extreme left, while libertarianism is the closest thing to "extreme" that the right can be. It's so childish.

Wasn't CPAC that event that literally built their stage in the shape of the Nazis' odal rune a couple years back? Or am I thinking of a different Republican gathering?

I've observed over the years that Conservatives have an ingrained inability to take responsibility for anything. IT's like they can't admit their farts stink just like the rest of us.

OK I decided to just look this up myself and sure enough, yes, that did happen.

So this organization has been openly run by neo-Nazis for at least three years now and anyone in attendance who claims outrage at antisemitic statements being made there is just doing damage control over what is at best an open secret.

Mitch McConnell is stepping down as leader of the Senate Republicans.

The whole Senate clapped, for varying reasons.
With good cause, moscow mitch is like... THE big fund raiser for senate republicans. Democrats are cheering the fact that the GOP's pocket book will be kneecapped.

Oh, and he's a surprisingly effective traitor, asshole and piece of human garbage. Always celebrate when they vacate positions of power. If there were statues of him (there aren't that I know off, but probably some victorian era woodcuts of him terrorizing children and the poor.) people would be gathering to pull them down.

The fact that he's stepping down as Senate leader means that he's not confident the GOP will take back the Senate. Or the White House.

Ironbite-and he really doesn't wanna deal with Trump.
