GOP insanity containment thread 3: more human than strom thurman

Looks like the latter. Nobody thought he was running again just didn’t announce it I guess?

Gonna be annoying when dems get beshear to run for the seat, it gets massive attention as oh boy the dem could totally win in red land and he still loses by 10 points. He doesn’t want to be senator really but basically if he doesn’t run, that’s why. He knows.

It’s rare it’s not the next day after the move it to the floor vote. which I believe for patel was last night so vote is today.

Is there somewhere that tracks this information? Like I thought by googling “Patel” I would get the info if the vote was going to be next day, but apparently not.

the patel to the floor vote was reported in the mainstream news last night

The vote is going to be the next day most of the time after that move it to the floor vote thing they do first, gabbard’s got pushed another morning but it’s usually the next day sometime after that vote happens. Now you know.

Alright, thanks. That was an expensive lesson.

Read it, it’s long.

I’m just imaging a SWAT team rolling into halftime of the Homecoming football game in my small town to break up the Powderpuff game and haul everyone off to the slammer.

Gonna be illegal to watch John Waters movies before long.

:ohio meme:

Florida is suing Target for selling LGBTQ-friendly merchandise, something the state is misleadingly calling “efforts to sexualize children.”

You’re probably thinking: Wait, doesn’t the First Amendment stop the government from doing things like this? Doesn’t Target have a First Amendment right to sell goods broadcasting whatever perfectly legal messages it chooses, and don’t individual Americans have a First Amendment right to access those messages?

The answer is a resounding: of course . But Florida authorities don’t seem to care, so long as they get to perform concern for children.

How do they get around that? They pretend that they’re deeply concerned about Target’s stockholders and the risk of selling merchandise.

I don’t see the transparent runaround of the First Admendment going anywhere, but it scores them points

It won’t go anywhere, but there’s a significantly nonzero chance Target will just cave and take all the lgbtq stuff off the shelves in FL just to avoid the nuisance of defending the suit, which of course is a win for the GOP. Meanwhile 20 other states follow.

This is a setup for the Purge imo.

Yeah and even if they don’t, every other major retailer is watching. You don’t actually have to win. Something something chilling effect.

It is a very strange thing to say and it really makes it sound like Rufo is upset that someone wouldn’t give him the time of day.
