There are like 300 insane state laws that the far right is trying to pass right now IF YOU ARE A BORED PUNDIT PLEASE EMAIL ME

They have no shortage of detestable proposals

Going after birth control and IUDs is extra infuriating from people who claim to want to prevent abortions. And that database?! It’s all about sending women back to the 1800s.

Of course, at the same time of these Republican threats, Democrats are enthusiastically supporting bills that will make it easier for Republicans to suppress LGBTQ/abortion content, as well as make it easier for them to track what their citizens are doing online.

Obviously, the Republicans are far worse than Democrats. Duh. And if I have to choose between them, I'll go with the Democrats, just like I'd pick Stage 1 cancer over Stage 4 cancer. Democrats are perfectly willing to go along with Republicans sinister plans if it can get them votes.

State Republicans also drop weird bills that do nothing but arbitrarily mess up government, like “before you can pass a new law you must repeal two others.” We’ve seen how well they’ve broken Congress and rendered it unable to solve any meaningful problem, now states face the same fate.

Oklahoma Republicans wrote a bill that would designate every Hispanic person in the state a terrorist! These people are *insane!*

New bill could ban sale of refrigerated, cold beer in Tennesseewww.wsmv.com The bill, SB 2636/HB 2845, aims to prohibit a beer permittee from selling, at retail, refrigerated or cold beer.

Other peoples' genitals seem to be MAGA's #1 area of interest.

Yes, these all troubling, but what worries me more are the bills pending in Michigan and California that reclassify denial of parental permission for GA treatment to minor children as “child abuse” and grounds for losing custody.

Likely one of the best rules for life and politics is: Conservatives are scum

Action alert: anti-satanist bill advances in State Senate - Secular Coalition for Arizonasecularaz.org State Senator Jake Hoffman’s SB1279 would ban satanic displays on public property.

In a rare finding it seems that Republicans have no balls and their breath reeks from constant ass kissing.
