He's the kinda guy that leaves his tube socks on and pulls his pecker out of his whitey tighties before fucking his wife with the lights off.

The majority of people who support and parrot shit like this aren't even doing it because they think it's somehow good for the country, they just think it's something that needs to be fixed because some ignorant piece of shit on FOX News or the like told them it was bad, and we should all be mad about it.

I can't imagine being so fucking bored and miserable with my life, that the sheer THOUGHT of someone else being happy and comfortable... or even just not sad and miserable in their own life, that I'd feel obligated to dedicate what precious time I have on this earth to ruining everything for everyone.

I agree with you - Ted Cruz is an absolute piece of shit, but the people who feel driven to support these types of policies and bills etc. are truly vile human beings.

Am loving the energy in this post! It's so tiring that this shit is what passes for politics around here. Like half' the fucking country seriously thinks kicking us is a worthy focus for the whole damn government? Really? REALLY? Let's just stop and have a vote on how much we all hate those people for existing! That'll make something better, won't it? ... Now here I am getting worked up too. Bleh. Of course those people have no concept of "better," only hurting people they hate.

"I hate his voice" tacked onto the end there is kinda hilarious though 🤣

Also the initialism for the act's name is SHSA which reminds me that "SHSR" is the IBM->HAL thing (letter-position-decrement?) for "TITS." So I guess this bill is about TITB? ... Nevermind, I'll show myself out :P

Him eating his booger on the debate stage still makes me gag uncontrollably if I see the clip, and if it pops into my head sometimes I'll start gagging, which is pretty much every time I see his name

There are very few things that make me gag in disgust, this one gets me every time

Oh, just his weasley voice? Not his weasley everything else?

Step 1: Pick an issue that is divisive*

Step 2: Boost it with stories about how bad the people on the wrong side are: won't someone think of the children?

Step 3: Watch the outrage donations roll on in

It's a playbook as old as time.

*Some people might call it divisive because one side is like "let's all become crabs and live in the ocean" vs the other side that's like "no let's continue using our opposable thumbs". But who am I to label whether one side is right and the other wrong?

Either that or Fled Cruise. Either way.

This is not a good thing.

1. It shows people it's okay to misgender someone you don't like

2. It won't feel bad for him. For him it's a joke that doesn't do any harm. For trans people getting misgendered is life and can deeply hurt

Better to keep referring to he/him by he/his preferred pronouns, but just hammer in the point that he/him is using pronouns you keep saying both every time.

He/him being reminded of it every time is much worse, and doesn't invalidate trans peoples pronouns.

I think "it" is a better pronoun for Cruz - or maybe "It" given the whole evil clown thing.

No, call him by his first name at all times.

Well? Don't leave me hanging.

I'm much too lazy to type her name into Google. But I'm just un-lazy enough to ask you.

The article's title presents this in a misleading way. The bill in question wouldn't prevent people from using their preferred names and pronouns. What it would do is prohibit the government from spending federal funds to implement or enforce any rules or recommendations encouraging its employees and contractors to respect those names and pronouns.

So in other words this is an attempt at protecting hate-speech, not at restricting free-speech. Shitty, but probably not unconstitutional.

They never meant that "small government" thing; they were just chapped that the feds interfered with their racist bullshit at the state level.

Having a stacked hyper partisan supreme court makes anything constitutional.

You don't have to vote for the status quo, you could shake it up and put someone in there who isn't a complete shit-bag.

But that's not how Texas does things. They only make things worse and call it freedom.

Oh my god it's already been 6 years

I’ve always liked Wilhoit’s Law: “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

Oh, that's because he's a Christian Nationalist piece of shit.
