The Republican Agenda 2021 and Forward

Yes, but I suspect most of us bought unleaded. I know my family always did.

I started driving in '81 and never used leaded.

We were too poor for gas of such quality.

Lucky you, young man.

This explains MAGA.

Lead from gasoline blunted the IQ of about half the U.S. population, study says

Leaded gas was banned in 1996, but exposure to the poison cost people born before then several IQ points on average, researchers estimated.

There’s also speculation that being exposed to lead contributed to the rise of violence and serial killers in the 70’s and 80’s, not so much being exposed to it throughout life as the mother being exposed while pregnant. International data backs this up as lead bans happened at different times in history in different countries and the rise and decline followed the same pattern relative to the ban date.

On a related note, it’s almost statistically impossible that in the entire history of serial killers that one has never been taken out by a random good guy with a gun. Even when there was a struggle with a victim in a house with a gun they didn’t get taken down by it. This is a massive black mark on good guys with guns. Be better.

Just wow.

Just wow.

Is there an article on this? I feel like I am missing some context. I still want to believe that people don't just punish others for no reason other than they want to push their ideals on them.

Sure.

Manslaughter conviction of 21-year-old Oklahoma woman who suffered miscarriage sparks outcry

Outrage after GOP pushes measure to expand gun access in funding bill

This "could result in 20,000 new seriously mentally ill individuals being able to buy guns each year," says Sen. Chris Murphy.

Nothing shocking here as the GOP has become a bunch of sick fucks whose biggest priority is having a voter base filled with unhinged armed people aligned with their agenda to do the dirty work.

Can these MAGA morons behave themselves during the State Of The Union? Biden got a good jab in last year when they booed him for truthfully bringing up how they wanted to cut Social Security, and he was just like “Oh good, Social Security is off the table America!”

If they pull that shit tonight, they may accidentally hand Biden a highlight clip when he has a witty comeback for them.

Hopefully they’ll just behave themselves and stick to the more routine jeers.

Should be funny seeing sock puppet Mike Johnson seated behind Biden. Hard to believe old what’s his face was in the Speaker’s chair just last year. Calvin McCarthage or something was his name, he didn’t last long enough for me to remember.

*MTG in MAGA gear, looking like a Trump groupie. Biden, to his credit, treated her like a kind grandpa would his grandkid who got kicked in the head by the mule. A few times.

**I thought Biden was unpopular? Put him in a room with some people and watch him go.

***Mike Johnson just lost his job. Biden quoted Trump’s love of Putin as being dangerous and unamerican, dems erupted in applause and Mike Johnson seemed to be nodding his head in approval.

Trump is the presumptive nominee, Ronna McDaniel has stepped down, and Michael Whatley is the new RNC chair. Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, is new co-chair.

The Trump family has now taken over the GOP. They’ve been in control practically for some time, now it’s official.

God these people are stupid.

Now Trump can actively steal $ from the RNC coffers at will, president or not.

Now Trump can actively steal $ from the RNC coffers at will, president or not.

Not even sure he needs to steal, the cult is over on Fox News, and they retort to that accusation with “Hey, Trump already said he wouldn’t spend the money on his legal fees!”

In 2024, people still believe Trump. It’s truly remarkable.

Not only that, they think he should get all of the RNC money. When people respond “Lara Trump already said she’d spend whatever is necessary solely on Trump”, some say “She should!”

This is a cult. They will lose badly. More alarming than the people who are ok with this, are the ones who are not. Lots of pro-Trump comments who are not ok with this, for obvious reasons. But they’re responses are tepid.

I see everyone's favorite ex-congressman, George Santos, is planning to run again. I don't think there's more than a 0% chance he can win this time, but it's a good reminder to the electorate of the clowns in the Republican party, including MTG, LB, and a host of others.

BTW, it was disgusting to see Santos at the SOTU last night. I was surprised anyone would want to be seen sitting next to the guy. I half expected him to yell something during the speech, which would have given Biden yet another opportunity to retort.

Is there any coincidence to Trump having a pipeline to the RNC coffers, and this bit of news???

I think not!

A good brief history of how the right has used paranoia against foreigners and immigrants to gain power. I’m sure some more open minded people on the right could see that but would go "but this time it’s for real reals." Just like the time before that. And the time before that….

Good list of the 7 deadly fears Trump uses to manipulate.

Why is it that the Republicans (especially) youth pastors and MAGA the folks getting arrested and convicted for child pornography, pedophilia, rape, murder. And yet the focus is on Trans people and drag queens? Its almost like it’s projection. Worst of all its hardly reported on.

its like when they went after gays and kept getting caught being gay?

i guess so, but it seems more than that. Take for instance this disgusting human being. Hardly being reported.

There are far too many of these on antifaoperative’s account to cite here. Interestingly enough they are not drag queens.

That he sat with Matt Gaetz speaks volumes.

I think its because the Republican Party attracts such people.
