BITCHFEST -- THE EXTREMISTS ON THE FAR LEFT AND FAR RIGHT

[MirahM]

I'm glad she didn't get away with it at any rate. It was backed out.

No, Mags.  Pelosi never included abortion-related issues in the coronavirus legislation in the first place.  So, it could not possibly be 'backed out'. 

Instead, the hold-out Republicans wanted language addressing and prohibiting abortion lab test reimbursement inserted into the coronavirus legislation.

My understanding is that the Republican hold-outs' requests/demands were acknowledged, pushed aside, and addressed in a separate forum so the critical coronavirus legislation could move forward. 

If that is, in fact, how Pelosi and Mnuchin kept the coronvirus legislation from getting derailed, good on them.

That is what I read originally also.

[Maggot]

Did anyone read my links. 

[Duchess]

The one that took me to the Yahoo news article where contributions to it came from the Daily Caller? That one? Yes, I did.

[MirahM]

The one from June of 2019? Yeah.

[HairOfTheDog]

Mags.........I think you need to read the articles you link before you post them.  This is just one of many cases where you insist something is a fact and refuse to post a link or provide any form of substantiation.  

Or, as in this case, where you post a link to an article which you insist is evidence of your claims when it's nothing of the sort.

But, yeah, I read the article you linked:  https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/44...nding-bill

It sounded very familiar.  About halfway through it, I realized I'd read the article months and months ago. As LoveChild noted, it's 9 months old.  Check the date.

The funding bill of subject in The Hill article you just posted as evidence of your Coronavirus legislation claim has absolutely nothing to do with Coronavirus legislation.  Coronavirus had not even materialized when that article was published.

I already addressed that generally upthread Mags. I'll be more specific.

Ben Sasse is a very vocal pro-life (or anti-choice) politician and has been for years.  He has a right to express his unabashedly biased opinions and feelings on the issue.  And, others have a right to applaud him for purely partisan political posturing purposes or because they share his opinion and feelings.  No problem.

Sasse's slippery-slope fear or suspicion about what Pelosi and the Democrats could do down the line is what set him off and motivated him to demand that the unrelated issue/law be referenced or included in the coronavirus legislation.

You took what Sasse reportedly said and did and falsely characterized it.  Even the March 13^th article you linked, in which the very partisan Daily Caller is cited as the source, does not state that Nancy Pelosi tried to sneak abortion funding into the coronavirus aid legislation and had to back it out, as you claimed.  Re-read the article.

The article instead suggests that Sasse went off because he was convinced that Pelosi not addressing 'abortion' in the coronavirus lab reimbursement stipulations could somehow open the door to the Hyde Amendment being circumvented or weakened in the future, and he thus accused Pelosi of trying to wage cultural wars (weird and wide stretch, but whatever).   

The second half of the article then goes on to reference previous direct efforts by some Democrats to have the Hyde Amendment legally overturned, which is their right and their responsibility in representing constituents who oppose it.  Those previous efforts had nothing whatsoever to do with coronavirus legislation, but I assume they were included in the article to give context to Sasse's outrage over something that Pelosi did not do (or to purposely mislead some readers).

Extremists Aim to Weaponize COVID-19 Coronavirus


Authorities are monitoring white racially-motivated violent extremists who have recently commented on the coronavirus, stating that it is an “OBLIGATION” to spread it should any of them contract the virus.’

According to the intelligence report, the white supremacist groups ‘suggested targeting … law enforcement and minority communities, with some mention of public places in general.’

The chatter involved spreading coronavirus by leaving ‘saliva on door handles’ at local FBI offices, spitting on elevator buttons and spreading germs in ‘nonwhite neighborhoods,’ according to the document.

Fucking idiots.

They need a dose of "C'mere bitch.....eat THIS doorknob"   They wont get far me thinks.

Oh, fuck that noise.

The neighborhood I grew up in in San Diego was predominately white and always had been till the elderly started dying and minorities starting moving in. We moved when I was in junior high and when I went back to see the old neighborhood about 10 years later in the 80s, it was fucking wrecked. We stopped to help an older lady whose car had stalled in the middle of the street and some gangbangers threatened to kick my husband's ass for being there. The lady gave them hell for that.

Anyway, a huge chunk of that neighborhood was all torn down and made into a park, elementary school and library which would probably be considered gentrification... I dunno. But if someone started screaming into a megaphone that they were taking black owned land, they'd be fucking wrong. White folks were there before them.

I've got sympathy for BLM. We've all seen how the cops harass, hurt and kill black people, even when they know someone's filming them. But they can shut the fuck up with telling people to give their house up because they were there first. By that logic, the Native Americans in that area have first dibs.

  Native Americans 

Another group of people who got the shitty end of the stick.

Michael Chertoff is a republican, he is our former Secretary of Homeland Security who was appointed by George Bush. Today he said that over the last few years most of the deaths in the United states that have come from acts of terrorism, are not from global jihadist terrorists, but extreme right-wing groups. I doubt this will come as a surprise to anyone except for maybe Maggot who keeps referring to the violent left.

[Duchess]

Kyle Rittenhouse is the 17 year old whose mother drove him across state lines with a gun. He was on his way to a protest. He killed 2 people and injured one. The GOP is revering this person. They got him a high profile attorney, Lin Wood, and started a fundraiser on the Christian fundraising platform GiveSendGo where "Christians" have donated $390,000 for his defense. His mother was invited to an event held by GOP women and they gave her a standing ovation. This is sickening to me and I'm appalled that all of them call themselves Christians. They aren't, not by any stretch.

[Rootilda]

That bar owner that recently killed himself is also being canonized.

[Duchess]

It's gross! Gawd!

[Rootilda]

No words.

[Duchess]

See what I mean when I say that self professed Christians are some of the shittiest people on the face of the earth? 

[Duchess]

Well, this is pretty fucked up. I'm so glad the FBI and other law enforcement are on top of this shit.


The FBI thwarted what they described as a plot to violently overthrow the government and kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and federal prosecutors are expected to discuss the alleged conspiracy later Thursday.

The alleged plot involved reaching out to members of a Michigan militia, according to a federal affidavit filed Thursday. "Several members talked about murdering 'tyrants' or 'taking' a sitting governor," an FBI agent wrote in the affidavit. "The group decided they needed to increase their numbers and encouraged each other to talk to their neighbors and spread their message."
