The Isolated Politics Blurt Thread I: A New Beginning

Dad at school board meeting speaking out for his 13-year-old trans daughter; he didn't shout, didn't throw a tantrum or call the school board members epithets, didn't lie, didn't showboat....

“You are never going to find a right way to do the wrong thing and Governor Youngkin’s policies are wrong,” he began his speech.

In his speech, that now has almost half a million views on TikTok, Conner pointed out that the fact that the Proud Boys and the “parental rights” group Moms for Liberty support these kind of policies proves the point that these policies are wrong.

“Never in history have the good guys been the segregationist group pushing to legislate identity,” he said.

“Never in history have the good guys been closely connected with and supported by hate groups like the Proud Boys. And the good guys don’t put Hitler quotes for inspiration on the front of their newsletters. News flash: they're the bad guys. They're the bad guys supporting bad policy. And if you support the same bad policy, guess what? You’re one of the bad guys too.”

He concluded his moment by reminding the school board members to “be the good guys while you still can.”

Gov. Beshear's campaign under scrutiny, and it didn't help that they'd run on more accountability!

Senior adviser to the governor Rocky Adkins was pictured on Oct. 31, 2023, at an official event to announce millions of dollars in infrastructure investments, including for high-speed internet access and cleaner water projects, in Wolfe and Powell Counties, WYMT reported.

However, because signs for the Beshear campaign were behind the podium as Adkins handed out oversized checks, the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust is calling for an investigation into whether the governor's administration used "state resources for political purposes" in violation of state rules, according to a complaint filed Thursday with Kentucky's Executive Branch Ethics Commission.

Former state lawmaker charged with $30K in pandemic unemployment benefits fraud


Federal prosecutors are accusing a former Massachusetts state senator of fraudulently collecting over $30,000 in COVID-19 pandemic unemployment benefits and other charges.



'Tran served as a Republican state senator representing Worcester and Middlesex from 2017 to January of 2021. Prosecutors allege that following his senate term he fraudulently applied for pandemic unemployment benefits after he had already accepted a consulting job with a New Hampshire-based automotive parts company. He is accused of collecting around $30,000 in pandemic unemployment benefits, while working that job.'
 
We get what we pay for. We don't pay for a huge slice of the US federal government, which runs on global debt.

why doesn't it surprise me it's yet another republican?
whichever party a crook subscribes to, if they rip the people off then they deserve what's coming.
 
Biden calls Xi a dictator, which is technically correct (the best sort of correct).

But calling him a murderous genocidal maniac to his face is not going to help international relations. Such statements tend to be kept for the home market; not even Kim told Cheeto to his face that he was a Dotard (also, technically correct).

i did feel for poor Blinken, though... that wince. Diplomacy is made harder by President Biden's direct honesty at times.
 

Right-Wing ‘Moms for Liberty’ Organizer Is a Convicted Sex Offender​


Phillip Fisher Jr., who does faith-based outreach for the group in Philadelphia, abused a 14-year-old in 2011, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported on Monday
https://www.rollingstone.com/politi...-organizer-convicted-sex-offender-1234887013/

Moms for Liberty is a conservative parental rights group that has chapters all over the United States working to eradicate LGBTQ-related discussion in public schools, at least partially under the belief that educators are using it to “groom” children for sexual relationships. The group might want to look inward first. The Philadelphia Inquirer reported on Monday that Phillip Fisher Jr. — a pastor, Republican ward leader, and faith coordinator for Moms for Liberty in Philadelphia — is a registered sex offender.


Fisher was convicted in 2012 for aggravated sexual abuse of a 14-year-old boy, with the charging documents saying that Fisher, then 25, engaged and oral and anal sex with the boy. Fisher, who pleaded guilty, told the Inquirer that the conviction was a “railroad job” by a PAC affiliated with Lyndon LaRouche, the cult-y former presidential candidate whose organization Fisher worked for at the time. “It was a political situation that happened between me and Lyndon LaRouche,” Fisher said. “It was a member of his camp, his party, that made the accusation. They pushed it through.”

Nothing says family values like being a registered sex offender.
 
The city of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, removed an ordinance that made it illegal to be “homosexual in public.”

This statute passed in June was called a “public decency” ordinance and listed various behaviors that it deemed “indecent.”

These included “homosexuality” and “sexual intercourse.”
Also “printed materials… parades, or other such displays” that could “be judged as … harmful to minors”

so the ACLU sued Murfreesboro over it declaring it illegal to be homosexual in public, a direct attack on LGBTQ+ rights and managed to get 'homosexuality' removed from the 'indecent' list; its fight is still ongoing regarding other areas of the ordinance.

Sinaman-Daniel's efforts paid off: Robin Martin-Davis, an athletic director and head coach of Warren Wilson College's women's basketball team, took notice and invited Sinaman-Daniel to a prospect day at the Swannanoa, North Carolina, school.
 

If you have the money to buy high-end, then so be it. But you still gotta cook the thing right.

a regular-degular turkey is what most Americans rock with, but conservatives think everyone's out here buying $120 gourmet birds. 🤷‍♂️

Deplorables will *nods* along with that gaslighting bullshit.

The question is; will any non-Deplorables actually be swayed by that gaslighting bullshit. - Some of the recent polls and comments from certain Democrats / "Liberals" makes me wonder…
