Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), who is currently running for governor of Alabama, went on a 20-minute, lie-filled rant on the Senate floor accusing trans people of being violent and “deranged” and proposing that the United States bring back mental institutions to house them.

Tuberville claimed there is a “rise in violence coming from people who the left refers to as transgender.”

    Projector jokes aside, who cares if trans furries fly plains? The whole entire internet would probably implode and disappear without them. Their backs must be broken beyond repair with how much they carry the web.

    Neverending war in a Middle Eastern country with seemingly no end in sight. People up in arms over AI and data centers. People upset about sky-high gas and diesel prices (as we prep for winter months). People angry about not enough housing, unsafe food supplies, and everything costing so much more than just a year ago. People upset about billionaires calling the shots in a democracy. People upset about having people tackled and disappeared. Donnie fixated on putting his tainted name on everything and building ballrooms and arches and painting a reflecting pool American flag blue. RFK jr talking about vaccine denialism and chemtrails in the face of a measles outbreak.

    Tommy: we really need to focus on the…checks notes…FURRIES!

    We need to start promoting and supporting trans and drag queen baby sitters. Because I know my kids will be safe, unlike leaving them with one of these churchy, sexually repressed, authoritarian assholes.

    Maybe the speed running community is over representative of trans folks, but I would feel quite safe in their hands. Those guys, gals, and nonbinary pals have crazy control of their manual dexterity.

      Fury Airlines sounds like it has exclusively pilots with anger management issues, so it might actually be worse than Spirit.

    I know, freedom of speech and whatnot, but it’s amazing what these ass-backward morons will spout as fact, and worse, use to justify their horrendous policies. Seems like they should at least have to attend some basic “facts of reality” class before returning to work. At a minimum.

      They’re flailing now, they’re trying to instill fear with the most over the top lies they can.

      They know they’re about to be wiped off the map in the midterms and possibly even prosecuted.

      The thing is, for most of them, they know they’re spouting bullshit. The classes on “facts of reality” wouldn’t help. It’s all just the easy target bullshit they know the base eats up that can get them elected without having to do anything that would help people. It’s a lot easier to get elected on the right with policies of “I promise to hurt these people!” As opposed to “I’ll do something about your financial problems!”

      Or, you know, a functioning media apparatus that would do it’s job and keep the ruling class in check.

        That only works when the media isn’t consolidated and owned by said ruling class.

        I think we don’t give enough consideration to just how comprehensively failure to enforce antitrust law has destroyed our entire society.
