When you’re a fucking traitor, you’ll attempt any ridiculous defense to get out of the verdict.

If white working class folks could get past their racism and close ranks with poc working class, nothing could deny such a force.
The GOP uses racism to keep that from happening. It’s base readily votes to diminish their fortunes and wellbeing as long as their hatreds are pandered to.
Take a look at anti-union propaganda from the 60s to present. You’ll find all the dog whistles.

Might as well be quoting Goebbels.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene testifies in a Georgia courtroom today in a hearing to determine whether the far-right congresswoman can be barred from running for reelection for her role in the Jan. 6 insurrection. In preparation, she spent the day prior with Alex Jones—the radical conspiracy theorist who is under investigation for his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection—insisting that the legal challenge to disqualify her candidacy is all part of the “globalist” ploy for a “One World Government.”
Georgia voters and a supporting legal group, Free Speech For People, filed the challenge against Greene, winning a victory last week when a federal judge ruled that the case could proceed. At the heart of the case is a provision in the 14th Amendment that forbids any member of Congress who has “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof” from serving in office. The provision was passed years after the Civil War to prevent former Confederates from returning to their seats in Congress.
In making their case, lawyers for Free Speech For People point to evidence like a Jan. 5 tweet by Greene calling Jan. 6 a “1776 moment.” The judge on the case will make a recommendation to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who will then decide whether Greene remains on the ballot.
On Jones’ “InfoWars” Thursday, Greene insisted that the hearing was a “show trial” that has “nothing to do with Jan. 6,” and that she did nothing wrong. “They know there was no insurrection,” she told Jones. “That is their big lie.”
Jones agreed that the challenge was “so villainous,” declaring, “this is next level tyranny.”
“Clearly the globalists want to implode the country, Cloward and Piven to make us dependent and take control. And all the polls show a total collapse and realignment of Republicans,” Jones said. “How do you think the Democrats and the deep state are going to try to stop this populist peaceful uprising?”
“They don’t want me in there,” Greene said. “So these globalists that are completely trying to destroy our country and move us into their global economy and their One World Government to where NATO is telling us what, who they should go to war with, and the UN is running the entire world. This is what Democrats want. They know to achieve these goals they have to get the strongest fighters out. That’s why they’re coming after me, and they’re coming after Andy Biggs, Paul Gosar, they went after Madison [Cawthorn].”
And who does Greene believe is behind it? Greene claimed that the attorney group lodging the challenge “is totally funded by George Soros dark-money groups.”

Tennessee GOP State Senator Frank Niceley said this on the floor of the state house:
“I haven’t given you all a history lesson in awhile, and I wanted to give you a little history on homelessness. [In] 1910, Hitler decided to live on the streets for a while. So for two years, Hitler lived on the streets and practiced his oratory, and his body language, and how to connect with citizens and then went on to lead a life that got him in the history books.”
The new Nazi is not that different from the old Nazi. It’s just spelled GOP.

Calling it “the new right” is about the most bullshit media-driven label I’ve come across.
“The new right” is half a century old.

Jefferson’s brutal and sadistic, omnipotent god that tortured his most faithful, Abraham, Moses, Job and his own son but made a murderous adulterer, king.
Thanks, Tom, for helping create a country in which I am free to say, “fuck that God.”

“It pains me to say this, but I feel as though I must get something off my chest. Whatever is left of the Republican Party has become a haven for liars.”
There isn’t anything egregiously wrong with the philosophy of republicanism or conservatism, but the GOP has wholeheartedly abandoned these classical philosophies to make a new world of lords and peasants. - DW

Wouldn’t you have to prove a religious belief in court.
Say I belong to a religion that advocates the use of meth. Wouldn’t I have to prove meth use is something my religion has followed for some rational period of time?
If you declare mandatory vaccines are an infringement on your right to separation of church and state but there isn’t any history of an anti-vaccine position, aren’t you arguing for the church of meth?
Footnote: Native Americans fought a long battle for the legal use of peyote in religious rites (DEA, 1981), but those folks actually have historical proof.
Religious organizations would be granted wide berth to remain open during health crises if a bill sent Tuesday to Gov. Doug Ducey is signed into law.
The Republican-backed House Bill 2507 prohibits lawsuits against religious organizations on the basis that the organizations are religious, operate during a state of emergency or engage in the exercise of religion. It also empowers them to sue state and local governments for violating that prohibition. The measure is a relaunched attempt to protect religious organizations after a similar bill last year failed.  
The bill has been championed by proponents as a protection of churches during states of emergency, when they were forced to close to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The Center for Arizona Policy, a conservative Christian lobbying group, defined the bill on its website as a proposal that ensures equal treatment for all.
“The Religion is Essential Act ensures that churches and other religious organizations receive equal treatment during a public crisis, allowing them to remain open on the same terms as other businesses and services that are deemed essential,” reads an online summary.
But critics warn that HB2507 may actually pave the way for open discrimination by churches and others.
Rep. Mitzi Epstein, D-Tempe, wasn’t convinced by the claim that the bill supports places of worship. Its language is broad enough to include everything from religious clubs to religiously minded corporations, she pointed out.
And by immunizing corporations that identify as religious, legislators could be authorizing retaliation against employees that can’t then be taken to court — like firing someone for getting a divorce, Epstein said. Even religious organizations that provide public services would be given more leeway. She said that patients in religious hospitals could lose their ability to sue over medical neglect if the actions have roots in religious beliefs.
“The words on this page are far too broad and could be far too harmful to everyday people who are just trying to live their lives,” Epstein said…
[C]ivil rights groups like the Arizona chapter of the ACLU object to the religious exemptions afforded by the bill which can be so broadly applied.
“Under HB2507, any religious organizations that claim to be exercising their religion would get a free pass for nearly any violation of any law at any time,” the group said.  
The bill was approved 35-22 on a final vote in the House. Ducey has five days to sign or veto it.
