It blows my mind that this is how far political discourse has fallen. Fuck anyone who supports shit like this.
We’re getting to the point where verbally attacking or making fun of conservatives in any way will be considered abuse of the mentally handicapped.
Enjoy it before it’s too late.
I thought we didn’t like sex trafficking. Sorry what’s the new narrative.
Being from Belgium, following American politics started for me together with the rise of YouTube and I could watch episodes of The Daily Show on it and where things have gone from topics like ‘Dick Cheney shot someone in the face’ to news like this. It really made me stop watching talkshows that I really enjoyed like The Daily Show, The Late Show with SC, … . It’s so much politics, every day again, on so many television shows. Is it also perceived as such in the USA itself? In Belgium, for many reasons, politics isn’t 24/7 discussed everywhere, everytime.
My guess is, the reason why politics are not an outsized portion of your life over there has something to do with your country not having an angry, empowered, and vocal minority disproportionately overrepresented in government making regressive laws to strip away human rights and sell off ever more of your life to rent seeking corporations.
It’s everyday with these people here. If they got everything they wanted today they would come up with a new list of horrible shit to demand tomorrow. We are a police state and a third of us seem to think the boot isn’t stepping on us hard enough.
Filipino here, I’m curious how american politics got this, for lack of a better word, wild?
don’t get me wrong, my country is far from better, but over here, the closest we have to MTG is probably Cynthia Villar or some other overly-vocal conservative oligarch in the senate, but they’d never pull stunts like this over here.
I’d be dumbfounded about how something like this could be brought in, but then I remember that in my country our previous prime minister, when he was treasurer before that, brought a lump of coal in to parliament and said “This is coal. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be scared. It won’t hurt you.” to talk down any talk of climate change and how bad coal is for the environment. Another former prime minister ate a raw onion, skin and all.
These lifetime politicians really do live in a world of their own. They’re a bunch of grown up children with no idea how to behave.
Republicans are now sharing porn to minors. (She sent out the images to her followers without a restriction on the age limit that it was sent to, just a warning to the parents about explicit content). So given the number of Republicans that force their kids to participate in politics. It’s a given that she just sent porn to a massive group of republican minors. She’s not only sharing images of porn in congress, but she’s also participating in distribution of pornography to children.
Correct me if I’m wrong but releasing nudes against someone’s will especially ones that aren’t sent to you is a crime.
Georgia 16-11-90 nonconsensual pornography.
Is this actually accurate? If so, can it please gain traction and attention? We can’t allow these creeps to play games anymore. It’s time to stop letting everything slide.
