Mind-boggling? You live right next to Council-tucky, you shouldn't be surprised.twocoach wrote: ↑Wed Aug 14, 2019 1:43 pm Iowa Rep. Steve King back at it today with some Illy-caliber logic:
"What if we went back through all the family trees and just pulled those people out that were the products of rape and incest? Would there be any population of the world left if we did that?"
The remarks were made as a defense of not allowing expectations for abortion in cases of rape or incest.
Mind boggling that the folks of Iowa continue to out this asshat into Congress term after term.

Whoa there gutter. Were trying to pin this all on one person.

Reminds me of 4th of July in Pacific Palisades 6 (7? - my memory sucks) years ago.
Many but not all people in attendance were singing God Bless America and waving mini American flags.
I refrained. Wasn't "protesting", just chose not to sing and wave my flag. Guy got in my face and told me and others that I hate America. He wanted to beat the shit out of me. Others had to hold him back.
God Bless America - indeed.
"The point" is that "real" Americans, i.e., "conservative" white republicans, have been piously wrapping themselves in the flag for decades, while laying claim to patriotism to the exclusion of anyone not a member of their tribe. The difference is, that like bigotry, anti-Semitism, nationalism, and xenophobia, Trump has weaponized patriotism and that plus his lack of regard for the rule of law has empowered his followers to feel like they can act their resentments out in a way they've never felt they had permission to before.TDub wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2019 10:36 amWhoa there gutter.
