(February 24, 2024 at 1:28 am)Fake Messiah Wrote: Senator calls LGBTQ+ people 'filth,' says most don't want them here
Audience member Cathy Cott asked two questions, the first on why State Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters was “bullying” school districts and referring to teachers as “terrorists.”
“My second question is, why does the Legislature have such an obsession with the LGBTQ citizens of Oklahoma and what people do in their personal lives and how they raise their children?” Cott said.
Cott pointed out that a 16-year-old had died earlier this month following a physical altercation at an Owasso High School. Cause of death has not yet been definitively established, though police said a preliminary report indicated a beating at the hands of other students didn’t kill Nex Benedict.
“We are a Republican state – supermajority – in the House and Senate. I represent a constituency that doesn’t want that filth in Oklahoma,” Woods said.
“We are a religious state and we are going to fight it to keep that filth out of the state of Oklahoma because we are a Christian state – we are a moral state,” Woods said. “We want to lower taxes and let people be able to live and work and go to the faith they choose. We are a Republican state and I’m going to vote my district, and I’m going to vote my values, and we don’t want that in the state of Oklahoma.”

What an awful person. He is the filth here, not the LGBTQ+. He should not be a senator at all.

Russians See Republicans as 'Tools,' Former CIA Director Warns
"I think that my colleagues are concerned that the Russians see the Republican lawmakers as tools. They are so willing to accept anything, and Russians use information operations very effectively. And I have no doubt at all that they are going to continue to use it in this presidential election.
"And the fact that Comer and Jordan and others willingly accept these things, and they don't care whether it's true or not as long as it's salacious, as long as it's something they can use. This is something that the Russian's recognize is ready for their exploitation," he said.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

^Depending on how you use 'tools' he maybe isn't wrong on a couple levels.

I try not to cater to the concept that one's immediate family is a direct reflection of the head of the family, but Boebert's son arrested.

Well, at least he wasn’t giving his boyfriend a handy while vaping in a public theatre, so…there’s that.

Speaking of vaping, there are a couple of coworkers who do it right there at the nurse's station. Not certain how it is allowed, but there it is.

Even in the health care field, there are those who don't care about other's health.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Well, the ID theft is somewhat understandable, I wouldn't want to be a boobert either.

And this is the boy that made her a grandmother at age 36.
The party of family values...yep, that's it.

Please give Lauren Boebert’s family the same decency and respect in this time of crisis as she and the rest of the republicans have given Hunter Biden.
