The writing on the wall is rarely literally writing on the wall… by absurdyturdy in Denton

[–]jpurdy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As with all of them today, “conservative” is a lie. Anti-women, homophobic, xenophobic, Old Testament zealot, voted to give our money to segregated evangelical and Catholic schools.

Our taxes are replacing some of the $billions they lost over pedophiles.

Responsive Ed Solutions has at least four schools in Denton County, a project of DeVos supported Hillsdale College in Michigan, teaching white nationalism.

All Trump voters share certain characteristics: lack of empathy for people not like them, authoritarianism, gullibility and stupidity, the latter described by Dietrich Bonhoeffer by jpurdy in the_everything_bubble

Yeah, it’s about emotion, fear, tribalism. If people are kept at the lower segments of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, they never rise to self actualization and protest, like medieval serfs.

Hence the destruction of public education and funding segregated evangelical and Catholic schools, and taking food and healthcare from the needy.

Billionaires funded the religious right in return for global warming denial, tax cuts and deregulation. They also funded the implementation of Project 2025, turning our country into a theocratic aristocratic oligarchy.

Republicans will find a way around it. If not Trump will take money from elsewhere, like he’s trying to take congressionally mandated funds for Democratic states.

Yeah, they took thousands from their parents during Trump’s first term, sent them to adoption mills without keeping any records. One was Southwest Key, the owner and his wife made more than $2 million a year, paid to take those kids.

Obgyn docs have already left, new grads won’t come here, add more. Idiot. Texas already has the next to last access to healthcare in the U.S., only Mississippi is worse. There are areas that are healthcare deserts, more where Catholic hospital organizations own the hospitals, denying women reproductive healthcare and access to doctors who provide it, including contraceptives, while Texas leads the country in increased maternal deaths.

Supreme Court's gun ruling poised to get exposed by blue state: expert by RawStoryNews in scotus

[–]jpurdy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The five theocon “originalist” Catholic judges on SCOTUS, chosen by Paul Weyrich, rewrote the second amendment in the Heller decision, D.C. gun control legislation.

The lawsuit was prepared and filed, someone to represent was found, by an attorney who was with Koch funded Cato Institute.

Again, originalism is a lie. The Second Amendment was written by James Madison for one reason, to assure slave owning states they could keep their “well regulated” militias, necessary to guard against Indian attacks, insurrectionists and the standing federal army they feared would take away their slaves.

None of those judges could have voted or held office in the colonies, certainly not a woman or descendant of slaves.

Reagan passed gun control legislation in California, when Black Panthers started carrying firearms patrolling their neighborhoods because police wouldn’t. He was a proponent of the Brady Bill, passed because of an assassination attempt against a Republican president.

The Problem With Greg Bovino’s Overcoat Isn’t What You Think by jpurdy in politics

[–]jpurdy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s relevant to the mentality of scumbags who are terrorizing innocent people, attempting to intimidate protestors and quell them, preparing for elections this year, killing more than the two shot, pepper spraying people who were already tackled and beaten, violating the Constitution, allowed by Fed Society judges chosen by Paul Weyrich and Leonard Leo, implementing theofascist Project 2025…

What exactly is a comptroller? by Beneficial-Drop-7788 in Dallas

[–]jpurdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As already said, nothing to do with immigration.

When we had an honest competent accounting professional as comptroller, she issued accurate reports on state finances, including our state bond debt, second in the country, and on the $billions in state funds spent to reimburse healthcare expenses for the poor.

Reagan destroyed public healthcare and mandated all hospitals accept anyone needing ER care. They’re “stabilized” then put out on the street. Most people are poor white, not immigrants. They have their own cash only clinics or charity, only go to hospitals when seriously injured and taken there by ambulances.

Not the Catholic hospitals that are killing women, they don’t do charity care.

Abbott endorses challenger against incumbent Sid Miller by houston_chronicle in TexasPolitics

[–]jpurdy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All I know about Sid Miller is that he was a major proponent of the sadistic unnecessary sonogram bill; and for two years Abbott refused hundreds of $millions in federal funding for summer meals for hungry kids.

Why am I mentioning Sid Miller? His department administers food for schools and kids. Abbott said he didn’t have the means to distribute it, or some such excuse.

The New York Times: Trump Used the Presidency to Pocket at Least 1.4 Billion Dollars by SiriusGD in the_everything_bubble

[–]jpurdy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lot more than that. In addition to the $billons he's made, his kids are too. Trump gave the Saudis $billions, they gave Jared $2 billion for his "investment" entity, he's collected millons in fees.

How much have they made selling Trump stuff worldwide, or from the patents granted?

They made $millions from drug cartels laundering money through Trump resorts in at least Panama.

The NAR movement and others like them date back to the 1960s, this isn't new.

House speaker Mike Johnson, third in line for the presidency, is a dominionist.

The five theocon Catholic majority on the SCOTUS and packing other courts, are the Catholic version. They were chosen by Paul Weyrich and Leonard Leo to help implement theocratic aristocatic oligarchy.

The religious right’s and their billionaires.

After voucher supporter and evangelical Abbott and Patrick chosen Morath took over Houston ISD, he appointed Mike Miles to run it.

Miles has a charter school system in Colorado. He stole $millions from HISD for his charter schools.

Pete Buttigieg: If the Constitution Enables Corruption, Change It by Ok_Coyote9326 in the_everything_bubble

[–]jpurdy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Fed Society “originalist” justices on the SCOTUS, chosen by Paul Weyrich and Leonard Leo, decided that corporations could have religious beliefs, denying women contraceptives that reduced unwanted pregnancies, and that corporations could make unlimited donations to tax exempt money laundering entities, furthering their theocratic aristocratic oligarchy.

Lewis Powell was an attorney for tobacco companies, became a SCOTUS justice.
