shut in the nuthouse

It doesn't surprise me at all; it seems that all the perverse and evil people are patriots, ICE agents, January 6 terrorists, Trump supporters, or Republicans. I have forgotten, most of them are bigoted Christians.

Tell the Senate: "If Nominees Can’t Admit Trump Lost in 2020, They Shouldn’t Be Confirmed."

It happened again. Jay Clayton, Trump’s nominee for director of national intelligence, wouldn’t answer a simple question posed by multiple senators: Did Joe Biden beat Trump in 2020?

Lots of hemming and hawing and word salad, but no actual answer.

The question should have been easy. Biden beat Trump. But Trump has spent so much time denying it and spinning yarns made of complete bullcrap that nearly every one of his nominees is afraid to tell the truth.

This isn’t just normal jackassery. It’s jackassery that has already done great damage to our democracy and undermined trust in our elections and democratic institutions. It has also given morons across the nation license to believe really stupid things and do terrible things.

There is no way in hell the Senate should put even more of these cowards in positions of power.

After Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth announced he’d be providing testosterone therapy for US troops, Fox host Jesse Watters began laughing about how US troops would soon be raping women overseas.

 "Women on base, you better be careful. Port calls, women in Asia, you better be careful. Because these guys are going to be wild animals and you better watch out," said Watters in yet another horrendously misogynistic and despicable “joke.”

Fire Fox host Jesse Watters for his disgusting rape jokes!

Streamer Hasan Piker called Fox News the “pro-rape network" for its constant platforming of rapists and pushing pro-rape narratives — and now we see why. 

American soldiers sexually assaulting women while stationed abroad has been a serious problem for decades, and our failure to adequately address prevailing misogynistic attitudes in our military is one reason people like Jesse Watters think this kind of talk is somehow acceptable.

Of course this is only the latest in a long slew of absolutely reprehensible comments by Watters, who previously made rape jokes about Kamala Harris and suffered no consequences. It’s time to kick him off the air for good.
