“The push to stop Alabama students from using a bathroom that doesn’t correspond with their sex assigned at birth came from Alabama schools themselves, according to the bill’s sponsor, Rep. Scott Stadthagen, R-Hartselle.”

“But AL.com has been unable to verify Stadthagen’s claims that “almost every single school district in this state is dealing with this issue with opposite genders wanting to use opposite bathrooms.”
…

“ Stadthagen has not responded to AL.com’s repeated requests for comment or to explain which schools had faced issues.”
…

“Stadthagen declined to name specific schools, saying he didn’t advise naming names.“
…

“He declined to name any schools when pushed by a member of the House education policy committee for specifics.“
…

“AL.com has been unable to locate the principal Stadthagen mentioned or verify his claim.“
…

“Stadthagen claimed that boys have raped girls multiple times in school bathrooms. During the committee hearing, he declined to name any specific cases of this happening in Alabama, or any examples of transgender students attacking other students.“

Stadthagen is obviously playing to stupid people, but shouldn’t they be offended that he thinks they’re THAT stupid?

… talking head. But how common is it for Fox celebrities to have the WH Chief of Staff’s cell phone contact? Maybe that’s not weird, but it kinda feels weird.

… a $10,000 bounty to whistleblowers who turn in businesses that fail to comply with the new vaxx requirement. I’m in Alabama. I’d be wealthy in 6 months.

… to be allowed to participate in a functioning society. Sorry - no link. Just saw the segment on the R Gov being heckled by five moronic dudes, one old drunk chick and some fella with green teeth.

… that he couldn’t speak out on behalf of his country because he was in a book deal?

Live interview on CNN.

... evidence of just how messed up our democracy has become.

We have all seen the tape. His response to the question was clearly supportive of an armed insurrection against the US and a military takeover. We know this from the context and inflection of his words, and the ovation he received from the mob. And also from his history of similar statements. There is no doubt what he was saying.

But because a transcript of the statement can be re-punctuated to seem like he meant the opposite, that he was saying there is “no reason for an insurrection here”, he can “pretend” that he has been taken out of context and the media is treating him unfairly.

So Democratic leaders take a soft stand. The media moves on. And the Qberts admire how “slick” Flynn is because he spoke code and owned the libs. And send him some $ or buy another T-shirt.

They think they are smarter than the left and can get away with anything, and our collective responses to this kind of shit simply reinforces that belief. They DO get away with it.

After initially denying reports of an affair, Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill on Wednesday afternoon told AL.com that he had “an inappropriate relationship” with a 44-year-old woman and will not make an anticipated run for the U.S. Senate.

—Snip—

In an interview with AL.com on Wednesday morning, Merrill denied having had an affair and accused Cesaire McPherson of “stalking” and “harassing” him.

—Snip—

McPherson provided Al.com with a recording of an October 2020 conversation between her and Merrill, who is a Republican. In the 17-minute recording, Merrill and McPherson discuss various sexual acts they performed during dozens of romantic encounters that McPherson says took place between November 2017 and November 2020.

Looks like he was ready to victimize her as a crazy stalker until she produced the taped conversation. Good ol’ Family Values. At least he’s off the Senate trail now.

... from the 80s commercials to read the stimulus bill?

https://m.

... Rule of WhiskeyT, everything else that he may say is now and forever rank bullshit.

... in closing that:

“The republican senators who vote to acquit the president are the enemies of democracy!”

“They are trying to destroy this great country, and we can’t let that happen!”

“Leningrad Lindsey, Moscow Mitch, Little Marco, Randy Paul, Adolf Hawsey and all the rest are very bad people. Evil people. And they want to take everything from you”!

“True Americans have to FIGHT against these corrupt and bad people. And FIGHT like Hell.”

“If there are any 2nd amendment democrats, maybe they should do something about that, I’m just saying”!

“ANTIFA and BLM need to stand back and stand by!”

“Real patriots MUST come to DC and save this country. Tell ‘em I invited you. We can march down to their offices and stop them any way we can. I’ll be right there with you!”

“Lock them up! Lock them up!”

“1945! 1945! 1945!”

Would that be ok? I mean, it’s just words, right?
