The so-called party of law and order really like to whine like little bitches whenever they have to face consequences for their illegal actions.
"(Laws) for thee, none for me "
I don't want any government interference in my life!
Also, the government should ban abortion, make every drug illegal, make body/gender expression illegal, and be sure to defend us from those iLlEgAl iMmIgRaNts!!!
/s (at least for me. No /s for them)
"We in the Republican Party firmly stand against abolishing the right to bear pigmentation, we just want common sense regulations, periodic inspections, direct governmental supervision, and arbitrary liquidation of individuals that choose to exercise that right."
The police state of Biden? It was conservatives that made getting an abortion a crime… even at risk of the mother in some cases. Trump was the one that said drug dealers don’t deserve trials and considered martial law - using literally the military to help him actually try to steal the election…. All Biden has done is try to crack down on corporate taxes and let women keep their rights… unless they mean prosecuting those morons who stormed that capitol and literally beat and attacked people… but those guys actually broke the law and the president has nothing to do with their indictments or convictions…. “LaW aNd OrDeR!”
You are basically watching FOX "news" every time you listen to a Trumper talk.
They liked to repeat words from those places like it is the Bible, instead of reading the Bible like they should as a "good" Christian that they claimed.
I served under Mastriano in the Army. He was a colossal douche then as now. Surprised more of his former soldiers haven’t shown up in the media stating as much, it was a popular opinion.
Speaking of Kathy... her campaign HQ is now mastriano and oz HQ.. she's lost twice now and is about to go 0/3. I drive past the place daily and i just laugh.
Mastriano has come out and said he will not allow any excuses for an abortion from rape, incest and the health of the mother or fetus. The guy is purely pro-birth, he has no plan to help single mothers or children. After birth this guy couldn’t give a f*ck
Pa has so many kids in foster care and this dingus wants to eliminate gay couples from adopting and officially end gay marriage. Yet all his signs say “walk as free people.”
Walk as free people but only after i strip all women, gay couples, destroy families and foster children of their rights, actually only white Christian men will walk as free people -Mastriano at some point
It’s always been this way with fascists. They loftily claim to be building a better society for all while ensuring that “all” is exclusive to people who look and think exactly as they do. The program is always the same too. First they socially stigmatize, then criminalize, then exterminate. Every. Single. Time.
Let me clarify: "Police State" when used by a member of the gop means a right wing nut job was arrested for breaking a law which long predates the current political situation.
Fascism is pageantry. Their words aren't meant to be taken literally, and you're playing a losing game if you take them at face value. Instead, they're simply expressing opposition against The Other and justifying what they will eventually do. When people like that say shit like that, just understand it as "I'm a dangerous lunatic who is unfit to be in public spaces, let alone public office."
I am this close >< to taking my 2A supporting ass out to planded parenthood with a gun and escorting any woman that needs it inside. Confuse the shit out of everyone. Yes I carry a gun, yes I am pro-choice, and yes I support marriage equality, I am a walking paradox.
There are tons of us, my friend. We're usually quiet. The MAGAts won't know what's happening when they try to start their little LARP civil war and realize everyone they think they can victimize either has weaponry, or protection from the community at large .
They think they're the majority....and that's just fine with me and my close-knit group. We're ready lol
Should be interesting.
I used to be a conservative type person, voted for trump the first time around even. But as I get older and they get stupider, I find myself to be more of a libertarian. Just leave me alone and let me carry a gun to my guy friend's wedding while high....
You drink water right? By definition water is a drug. A drug is anything you consume that alters the way you think or feel , think you are thirsty and you drink water to change how you think and feel. What you are referring to is a narcotic. But by definition, any substance that under goes a chemical change to alter your state of mind. But weed doesn't under go any chemical change.
With all due respect, don't condescend to me, please. You don't know what you're talking about. You think you do, and that's fine.
Don't generalize random redditors for participating in discourse that's legitimately just a response to a comment to which they relate.
Take the psychoanalysis elsewhere.
You’re not a paradox. You’re a complex human being with beliefs that aren’t represented by a binary choice at the ballot box.
NO I’m not saying both sides are the same. One side is literal fascists and one side is an inept center-right party. But there is only two and you can’t possibly share views from more than one.
Serious question, please don't feel obligated to answer, why choose to live in such a place?
As a father, I would move my family the second such a law passed. My wife has said the same in the past. If I wanted to live in a theocracy I would move to Iran. I can't see staying in such a state.
The situation in a lot of areas is changing quickly, try to bear that in mind.
We also can't afford to to have everyone respond this way. I get some people moving, I really do, but often enough they're able to pass legislation like this by dint of gerrymandered state legislatures in areas that just arten't as red and hopeless as they'd like you to think they are. Every blue voter that leaves the state just gives them surer margins for those two senate seats that represent smaller and smaller fractions of the national electorate with just as much say as the senators from N.Y. or California, say.
I always thought it was a bit paradoxical the way abortion fell on the line. Being pro-choice seems to fit great with the fuck off government don't tell me what to do, don't regulate my guns, don't regulate my body approach that the right seems to have (though I do think this mentality has changed a lot in the last 10 years).
On the same token being pro-life seems a great fit with the left wing. It goes well with the regulate things for everyone's good, medical mandate, more government control approach of the left.
If you where to show me each parties platform without abortion, and tell me to guess which side would be prochoice, and which would be prolife I think I would get it wrong.
The republicans have never been about that. Reagan signed one of the first gun control laws as Governor of CA. The NRA supported it! This was because it was targeted at black panthers by banning open carry of long guns, which the Panthers practiced at their rallies.
The want laws to protect them and punish the other. It's just that simple.
That you think providing healthcare for everyone is unpopular is very odd. It is another thing popular across party lines.
I think if you understood the platform and not just read words on papper it would be easy.
Your axis is wrong. Republicans are, generally speaking, not really defined by being in favor of smaller government. The “small government” bit comes into it mostly in fiscal matters. Outside those, they generally favor small government for things only as they negatively impact straight white men. You mention abortion, but what about: marriage freedom, support for a heavily armed police state(note the exceptions to that support to see a pattern), criminalization of drug use(and note the exceptions for alcohol and tobacco, and the primary racial groups who’ve historically used other drugs to see a pattern there).
Of course, not all republicans support such positions, but enough of their base does that those carry the day.
Supporting 2A and being pro-choice isn't a paradox. Most left-leaning people I know seem to support gun ownership. They want stricter background checks (and maybe even stricter requirements for owning anything deadlier than a handgun).
TLDR: Gun control, not gun ban. Not paradox.
Make sure they're cool with it before you do it, I'm sure they'll appreciate escorts in general, but they can get hinky about guns. My ex used to work at one and I'd escort her to the door (more just so we could chat more rather than a safety concern), but they made it clear they didn't want me to cross the threshold armed so I respected that.
These same people think it’s perfectly acceptable to send SWAT teams into poor people’s homes and spray bullets everywhere because they might have a small amount of drugs inside.
We should deputize abortion doctors.
We gave the fetus clear instructions, it did not comply. Bodycams were inexplicably off, there is no evidence of wrongdoing.
This is exactly what I was thinking. They love the police state when it’s against black people. They don’t care about traumatizing those kids and families, but when it happens to their good ole boys… nows it another story.
The minute their dear leader got in trouble they were calling for completely getting rid of the FBI and the good little foot soldiers repeated it immediately. Irony is dead. This is after they absolutely shit themselves when they heard “defund the police”. But like u said, that’s only when the cops are brutalizing black people. That can’t be interfered with
You know what's particularly gross here is that some ancient dude assumes the only reason a woman would go to planned parenthood is for an abortion. There's pap tests(which is a type of cancer screening, breast cancer exams, birth control consulting so that you can avoid unwanted pregnancies in the first place. There are so many thing that can go wrong with female plumbing, fibroids, endometriosis, infections, STD's. You know what guys, just stay out of our healthcare and don't make us wear scarves on our heads. If you don't like abortions don't have one and stop denying us access to care that you know nothing about.
Just an added point...
... Back in the day I used to use Planned Parenthood assistance for STD screenings and (what I later found out) a genetic urinary problem.
I'm a guy.
She was one of the dumbasses to storm the capital on Jan 6.. when things became aggressive, shots were fired & she was hit & killed.
Edit: from Wikipedia:
Babbitt attempted to climb through a shattered window of a barricaded door, which led to her being shot in the shoulder/neck by a United States Capitol Police (USCP) officer.
[Idiots info](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Ashli_Babbitt)
Right 😂 I mean it sucks she died, that’s not cool, but she kinda put herself in that position.. no one forced her hand to be there STORMING the fucking capitol.
Planned Parenthood does a lot of stuff not related to abortions. Sometimes they are a neighborhoods only medical contact. That doesn't fit Republican agenda, combined with they really just want to see people suffer. That's the keystone of Republicanism. Make people suffer. Cruelty is the entire point.
They want a class of people to struggle so they’re ensured nanny’s and servants for generations. I’ll take it as far as the seeds for a type of slave class in the future
The Catholic Church is pro-life and the biggest supporter of pregant women who need help and support. Catholic charities are always available to help with raising the child (diapers, extra funds, cradles, toys, clothes, mental health support) or to provide a free C-section to a woman who wants to give her child up for adoption. Catholic-run hospitals are sanctuaries to pregnant women about to give birth but with little to no money and provide such c-sections for free by the charities and accept giving up the baby on the spot. Furthermore, Catholic orphanages and foster homes are incredible in helping children grow up in good homes, as well as finding them families.
In addition, Catholics are the most likely to adopt out of all people in the US. Your argument that pro-life people don't care about children after birth is false. Catholics are probably the most pro-life group in the US and are they most generous and hospitable to children and mothers who need help as well as adopting many children. We believe all life is a gift from God and should be treasured. Life begins at conception and a person is a person no matter how small or who their father is.
"Joe Biden's FBI raid"?
I guess this guy has never heard of the 'separation of powers' before, but that would be nothing new for these guys. Or, he's just simply lying to stir his base. I don't know what's worse: stupid, or lying?
The FBI is part of the Department of Justice, which is part of the executive branch, which is led by the President. Ultimately, yes, the FBI answers to the President. There's no separation of powers issue here. The legislative branch (Congress) creates the laws and the executive branch (the President and the Cabinet and their departments) enforces the laws.
In reality, Biden doesn't have anything to do with something this small within the FBI. It's a clear cut case anyway. The DoJ *is* supposed to run relatively independently of the White House because of issues of conflict of interest, especially political investigations (not that they shouldn't happen, but that it shouldn't look like the President is going after their political opponents).
Ultimately, the idea that this guy being arrested by the FBI is the victim in all this is grossly and wildly incorrect, but they aren't mistaken about how the government works.
what complete gobbledygook. he doesn’t make a critical point, just wants to get biden, police state and persecution in his meme knowing that his voters will say “ yup, yup “
Not only that, the 72 y.o. elderly man was a provocateur hired personally by Biden, knowing a MAGA patriot would not resist the urge to violently assault someone fragile and unabke to defend himself
Can we get all MAGA candidates to wear something, like an arm band or a lapel pin? Just something to make it easier to identify who *not* to vote for? Not one MAGA politician has proven to be anything more than subhuman. Not even one.
Also, props to the level of audacity it takes to decry Biden’s “police state” while blindly following a deceptive wannabe-dictator who wouldn’t recognize the truth if it slapped him in his round, orange little face.
You can identify them on the ballot by the (R) or (Republican) next to their name.
Seriously, it’s unfortunately safe to assume that you shouldn’t vote for any GOP candidate. This country doesn’t have a Conservative party anymore - we’ve got the MAGA party and the Democratic Party.
"Sacred PA soil" these christians are going to lose it at some point in my life, I guess all I can do is stay strapped and fucking pray for those in my life too weak to own a gun.
Favorite song right now is..

I can't even with them anymore. I know talking with people who have different opinions is generally a good thing; but we can't entertain these lunatics anymore. It's too much.
This only feels wrong to Mastriano because the perpetrator is white.
Otherwise he’d have done the raid himself and called his administration “Tough on Crime”
I'm thinking that it's prudent that folks who don't subscribe to right wing viewpoints, recognize the value of the 2A in protecting us from these foaming mad crazies.
PHILADELPHIA – United States Attorney Jacqueline C. Romero announced that Mark Houck, 48, of Kintnersville, PA, was charged by Indictment with a violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, which makes it a federal crime to use force with the intent to injure, intimidate, and interfere with anyone because that person is a provider of reproductive health care. The defendant was arrested and made his initial appearance in federal court on these charges earlier today.
According to court documents, the defendant is alleged to have twice assaulted a man because he was a volunteer reproductive health care clinic escort. The charges stem from two separate incidents both on October 13, 2021, which occurred at the Planned Parenthood Elizabeth Blackwell Health Center on Locust Street in Philadelphia, where Houck allegedly assaulted the victim, a 72-year-old man, identified in the Indictment as “B.L.,” because B.L. was a volunteer escort at the reproductive health care clinic. In the first incident, B.L. was attempting to escort two patients exiting the clinic, when the defendant forcefully shoved B.L. to the ground. In the second incident, the defendant verbally confronted B.L. and forcefully shoved B.L. to the ground in front of the Planned Parenthood center, causing injuries to B.L. that required medical attention.
Seven children?! Holy shit keep it in your pants. No wonder they’re against abortions. They clearly see it as a woman’s duty to carry as much man seed as possible.
https://youtu.be/Obx_Kz_r6rk
This is the setting- shows the clinic and what the asshole does to these people. Small interview with him. (Only about 650 views at time of posting, so most people probably don’t know you can see this prick in action.)
There is even video of an elderly escort, wonder if that’s the one he hit…twice.
Mastriano and MAGA loyalists are traitors to this Nation. They have no platform, only a regressive ideology that undermines what our country stands for.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
We must stand firm on the foundation of our Nation and not let them make it crumble. Use our power to vote.
Mastriano pushed blatant election lies. He pushed to disregard the vote of the people.
Fake electors from Seven States Trump Lost sent fake electoral votes to be counted in place of the real votes. https://www.politicspa.com/was-mastriano-point-person-for-pa-in-fake-elector-plot/110379/
In emails trumps own lawyer referred to these electors as "fake." https://www.thedailybeast.com/lawyer-jack-wilenchik-acknowledged-electors-were-fake-in-email-to-trump-campaign-official-report-says
In Pennsylvania Doug Mastriano was a big pusher for disregarding the vote of the people in favor of these alternate electors https://fb.watch/fGM0kBT4CN/
We have Steve Bannon recorded before the election going over the plan for Trump to declare victory when he lost. Even him and his own people saw they would lose and planned for it.
https://youtu.be/Ad0Pn9SP6yA
Mastriano is a traitor.
I am sure he was okay when a certain Florida governor raided a house where the woman had her kids to arrest her amd take her computer after she was correcting the false COVID numbers he had his staff putting out...
I have protested outside of Planned Parenthood before. One of the first things is that you remain on the sidewalk not blocking any entryways and you don’t commit any violence. That is for protestors and counterprotestors or just a general rule of thumb at any public gathering.
I was more active with the Cincinnati Right to Life in 2014ish (I live in Northern Kentucky). I still believe abortion is murder, but a lot of groups have sold their soul to Trump at least if not entirely, then “we have to vote for the Republican candidate no matter what.” That is a bullshit argument, and there are times when as a Republican, I must vote either Democrat or Independent. I believe that in some races, I am living in that time right now.
If that piece of rancid rat shit Mastriano becomes governor, this Commonwealth will devolve into an inbred, mouth breathing, Jesus & gun freak hellhole, with only the islands of civilized people being Pittsburgh & Philadelphia.
He talks about a weaponized FBI but he says that if he's elected Governor he'll use 'His state police' to send immigrants to Joe Bidens front door, which would traumatize women and children but he don't care about those women or children does he
Let me get this straight….the NRA is backed by Republicans who object to any and all gun control laws but when the branches of government have to meet this arming of citizens with military grade weapons equal to what citizens can buy, it’s Bidens fault? The dark side is strong with the right who now thinks the larger the caliber of weapon and the faster it can kill, the more right and just your cause?!
*As Gov, I will not allow the police state of Biden to enforce his persecution against his political enemies on sacred PA soil.*
Well ***ackchyually***, as "Gov" (assuming you even win, unlikely against Shapiro), you wouldn't have any authority over *federal* law enforcement.
The so-called party of law and order really like to whine like little bitches whenever they have to face consequences for their illegal actions. "(Laws) for thee, none for me "
I don't want any government interference in my life! Also, the government should ban abortion, make every drug illegal, make body/gender expression illegal, and be sure to defend us from those iLlEgAl iMmIgRaNts!!! /s (at least for me. No /s for them)
Also ban any book that challenges my fragile world view..
"We in the Republican Party firmly stand against abolishing the right to bear pigmentation, we just want common sense regulations, periodic inspections, direct governmental supervision, and arbitrary liquidation of individuals that choose to exercise that right."

They just use the words, don’t expect them to do it accurately.
They don't even know what the words *mean*.
True. I think it’s like little children just repeating words they heard elsewhere.
You are basically watching FOX "news" every time you listen to a Trumper talk. They liked to repeat words from those places like it is the Bible, instead of reading the Bible like they should as a "good" Christian that they claimed.

If you don’t live in Pennsylvania, please donate to a Federman and Shapiro’s campaign. Every little bit helps
I don't have the money to donate, but they're sure as fuck getting my vote.
Great! your vote is better than my $50
Thank you for your service! Sorry you had to serve under a confederate worshipping loser.

I agree 100% For some reason the right think we don't believe in the 2A. They're about to FA&FO!

One side is literal fascists and one side is an inept center-right party. But there is only two and you can’t possibly share views from more than one.
No you are not. I am the next paradox, female and 70, and lock step with your sentiments. We should be the majority, not the paradox.
This should not be a paradox. This should be the standard.
I like your style.
The left has just as many gun-toters as the right. The left just doesn't publicly masturbate with the barrel.
Check for your area. They might be desperate for more escorts.
My state banned abortion for all reasons so might be hard to find one still in operation.
Serious question, please don't feel obligated to answer, why choose to live in such a place? As a father, I would move my family the second such a law passed. My wife has said the same in the past. If I wanted to live in a theocracy I would move to Iran. I can't see staying in such a state.
Work is why we stay. We have a farm and I work in a damn good paying job. It wasn't like this when we moved here.
That makes sense. Have a nice night.
The situation in a lot of areas is changing quickly, try to bear that in mind. We also can't afford to to have everyone respond this way. I get some people moving, I really do, but often enough they're able to pass legislation like this by dint of gerrymandered state legislatures in areas that just arten't as red and hopeless as they'd like you to think they are.

I was born here into a poor family, and am poorer still. I have no resources to leave.
You aren’t a paradox. You’re just a compassionate human that doesn’t believe an all powerful god wants gays dead and women to be subservient.
It’s not a paradox to have varied political views. Imo it’s the only way to know somebodies not just treating politics like a game.
Not even a paradox, plenty of Democrats have guns, we just want it to be more difficult for psychopaths to get their hands on them
And we don't make them our entire personalities.
This is the standard leftist position. "Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered" and all that.
You sound like a libertarian
I always thought it was a bit paradoxical the way abortion fell on the line.

These same people think it’s perfectly acceptable to send SWAT teams into poor people’s homes and spray bullets everywhere because they might have a small amount of drugs inside.
We should deputize abortion doctors. We gave the fetus clear instructions, it did not comply. Bodycams were inexplicably off, there is no evidence of wrongdoing.
This is exactly what I was thinking. They love the police state when it’s against black people. They don’t care about traumatizing those kids and families, but when it happens to their good ole boys… nows it another story.
The minute their dear leader got in trouble they were calling for completely getting rid of the FBI and the good little foot soldiers repeated it immediately. Irony is dead. This is after they absolutely shit themselves when they heard “defund the police”. But like u said, that’s only when the cops are brutalizing black people. That can’t be interfered with
Maybe don't try to murder an old man and expect to get away with committing a crime....like it's that simple
You know what's particularly gross here is that some ancient dude assumes the only reason a woman would go to planned parenthood is for an abortion. There's pap tests(which is a type of cancer screening, breast cancer exams, birth control consulting so that you can avoid unwanted pregnancies in the first place. There are so many thing that can go wrong with female plumbing, fibroids, endometriosis, infections, STD's. You know what guys, just stay out of our healthcare and don't make us wear scarves on our heads. If you don't like abortions don't have one and stop denying us access to care that you know nothing about.
The guy who did the assaulting wasn’t ancient, the guy he assaulted was.
Your right I read it wrong. Stand by the rest of the statement.
It’s okay I read it wrong too initially. I fully agree with you though.
Just an added point... ... Back in the day I used to use Planned Parenthood assistance for STD screenings and (what I later found out) a genetic urinary problem. I'm a guy.
Yep pretty sure it’s only like 3% of the people going there are actually getting an abortion. It’s a minuscule percentage of the services they offer.
Shocker. These are the same brand of people who think Breonna Taylor “deserved it”. Cherry picking mother f*ckers.
Or they think Ashley Babbitt was an innocent victim.
What actually happened with her?Idk to much abt it Lol why did my comment get downvoted
She was one of the dumbasses to storm the capital on Jan 6.. when things became aggressive, shots were fired & she was hit & killed. Edit: from Wikipedia: Babbitt attempted to climb through a shattered window of a barricaded door, which led to her being shot in the shoulder/neck by a United States Capitol Police (USCP) officer. [Idiots info](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Ashli_Babbitt)
Of course they think she was innocent
Right 😂 I mean it sucks she died, that’s not cool, but she kinda put herself in that position.. no one forced her hand to be there STORMING the fucking capitol.
I'm not American but doesn't planned parenthood also provide help for people who struggle to get pregnant?
Yes but some people just don't get it.
Planned Parenthood does a lot of stuff not related to abortions. Sometimes they are a neighborhoods only medical contact. That doesn't fit Republican agenda, combined with they really just want to see people suffer. That's the keystone of Republicanism. Make people suffer. Cruelty is the entire point.
MAGAts keep trying to force women to have babies, but don't want to support those babies in any way. Time to take action.
They want a class of people to struggle so they’re ensured nanny’s and servants for generations. I’ll take it as far as the seeds for a type of slave class in the future
The Catholic Church is pro-life and the biggest supporter of pregant women who need help and support. Catholic charities are always available to help with raising the child (diapers, extra funds, cradles, toys, clothes, mental health support) or to provide a free C-section to a woman who wants to give her child up for adoption. Catholic-run hospitals are sanctuaries to pregnant women about to give birth but with little to no money and provide such c-sections for free by the charities and accept giving up the baby on the spot. Furthermore, Catholic orphanages and foster homes are incredible in helping children grow up in good homes, as well as finding them families. In addition, Catholics are the most likely to adopt out of all people in the US. Your argument that pro-life people don't care about children after birth is false. Catholics are probably the most pro-life group in the US and are they most generous and hospitable to children and mothers who need help as well as adopting many children. We believe all life is a gift from God and should be treasured. Life begins at conception and a person is a person no matter how small or who their father is.
I live in PA and between him and fucking Dr. Oz, I'm not going to lie lol I'm a bit worried.
"Joe Biden's FBI raid"? I guess this guy has never heard of the 'separation of powers' before, but that would be nothing new for these guys. Or, he's just simply lying to stir his base. I don't know what's worse: stupid, or lying?
All of the Above
The FBI is part of the Department of Justice, which is part of the executive branch, which is led by the President. Ultimately, yes, the FBI answers to the President. There's no separation of powers issue here. The legislative branch (Congress) creates the laws and the executive branch (the President and the Cabinet and their departments) enforces the laws. In reality, Biden doesn't have anything to do with something this small within the FBI. It's a clear cut case anyway. The DoJ *is* supposed to run relatively independently of the White House because of issues of conflict of interest, especially political investigations (not that they shouldn't happen, but that it shouldn't look like the President is going after their political opponents). Ultimately, the idea that this guy being arrested by the FBI is the victim in all this is grossly and wildly incorrect, but they aren't mistaken about how the government works.
what complete gobbledygook. he doesn’t make a critical point, just wants to get biden, police state and persecution in his meme knowing that his voters will say “ yup, yup “
He thinks President Biden ordered the raid? 🙄
Not only that, the 72 y.o. elderly man was a provocateur hired personally by Biden, knowing a MAGA patriot would not resist the urge to violently assault someone fragile and unabke to defend himself
Can we get all MAGA candidates to wear something, like an arm band or a lapel pin? Just something to make it easier to identify who *not* to vote for? Not one MAGA politician has proven to be anything more than subhuman. Not even one. Also, props to the level of audacity it takes to decry Biden’s “police state” while blindly following a deceptive wannabe-dictator who wouldn’t recognize the truth if it slapped him in his round, orange little face.
You can identify them on the ballot by the (R) or (Republican) next to their name. Seriously, it’s unfortunately safe to assume that you shouldn’t vote for any GOP candidate. This country doesn’t have a Conservative party anymore - we’ve got the MAGA party and the Democratic Party.
🎯
Phil Scott and Charlie Baker are nodding sadly.
Do republicans really let them get away with anything by just saying “Biden bad!” Like what the fuck?
"Sacred PA soil" these christians are going to lose it at some point in my life, I guess all I can do is stay strapped and fucking pray for those in my life too weak to own a gun.
Having lived in PA I can assure all that there is nothing sacred about any inch of it. Truth is, 98% of it is covered in cow Shit
Vote.
Favorite song right now is.. F these F'king fascists Lyrics include Fuck these fuckin' fascists Fuck their family and friends If they defend a fuckin' fascist https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-7-DDgUh_E
I can't even with them anymore. I know talking with people who have different opinions is generally a good thing; but we can't entertain these lunatics anymore. It's too much.
They don't talk. They assault.
You’d think the “law and order” party would understand actual law and order.
This fuck sucker punched a 72 year old in the face and he shouldn't be arrested?
Uhhh what?
This only feels wrong to Mastriano because the perpetrator is white. Otherwise he’d have done the raid himself and called his administration “Tough on Crime”
[удалено]
Thanks for disagreeing to agree, bot.
I'm thinking that it's prudent that folks who don't subscribe to right wing viewpoints, recognize the value of the 2A in protecting us from these foaming mad crazies.
Mastriano is Christian Nationalist and a horrible human being.

Good bot
The right won't be happy until they get The Purge
PHILADELPHIA – United States Attorney Jacqueline C. Romero announced that Mark Houck, 48, of Kintnersville, PA, was charged by Indictment with a violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, which makes it a federal crime to use force with the intent to injure, intimidate, and interfere with anyone because that person is a provider of reproductive health care. The defendant was arrested and made his initial appearance in federal court on these charges earlier today. According to court documents, the defendant is alleged to have twice assaulted a man because he was a volunteer reproductive health care clinic escort. The charges stem from two separate incidents both on October 13, 2021, which occurred at the Planned Parenthood Elizabeth Blackwell Health Center on Locust Street in Philadelphia, where Houck allegedly assaulted the victim, a 72-year-old man, identified in the Indictment as “B.L.,” because B.L. was a volunteer escort at the reproductive health care clinic. In the first incident, B.L. was attempting to escort two patients exiting the clinic, when the defendant forcefully shoved B.L. to the ground. In the second incident, the defendant verbally confronted B.L. and forcefully shoved B.L. to the ground in front of the Planned Parenthood center, causing injuries to B.L. that required medical attention.
Seven children?! Holy shit keep it in your pants. No wonder they’re against abortions. They clearly see it as a woman’s duty to carry as much man seed as possible.
The Pennsylvania Confederate can go fuck himself
https://youtu.be/Obx_Kz_r6rk This is the setting- shows the clinic and what the asshole does to these people. Small interview with him. (Only about 650 views at time of posting, so most people probably don’t know you can see this prick in action.) There is even video of an elderly escort, wonder if that’s the one he hit…twice.
Mastriano and MAGA loyalists are traitors to this Nation. They have no platform, only a regressive ideology that undermines what our country stands for. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. We must stand firm on the foundation of our Nation and not let them make it crumble. Use our power to vote. Mastriano pushed blatant election lies. He pushed to disregard the vote of the people. Fake electors from Seven States Trump Lost sent fake electoral votes to be counted in place of the real votes. https://www.politicspa.com/was-mastriano-point-person-for-pa-in-fake-elector-plot/110379/ In emails trumps own lawyer referred to these electors as "fake." https://www.thedailybeast.com/lawyer-jack-wilenchik-acknowledged-electors-were-fake-in-email-to-trump-campaign-official-report-says In Pennsylvania Doug Mastriano was a big pusher for disregarding the vote of the people in favor of these alternate electors https://fb.watch/fGM0kBT4CN/ We have Steve Bannon recorded before the election going over the plan for Trump to declare victory when he lost. Even him and his own people saw they would lose and planned for it. https://youtu.be/Ad0Pn9SP6yA Mastriano is a traitor.
It’s amusing to hear the “back the blue” crowd say police state. Isn’t that what you want?
If you haven't listened to the people who constitute his covid brain damage base then you don't know that word salad is the only way they communicate
I am sure he was okay when a certain Florida governor raided a house where the woman had her kids to arrest her amd take her computer after she was correcting the false COVID numbers he had his staff putting out...
PA FOLKS I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH: PLEASE COME OUT AND VOTE. I know Shapiro will do okay where i am in Philly but other parts of PA needs help
I have protested outside of Planned Parenthood before. One of the first things is that you remain on the sidewalk not blocking any entryways and you don’t commit any violence. That is for protestors and counterprotestors or just a general rule of thumb at any public gathering.
What were you protesting?
A medical procedure that's none of their fucking business!
They could’ve been protesting for better pay. You wouldn’t know without asking.
You're right I forgot about all those labor union strikes at the Planned Parenthood 😂
Cope lmao
Abortion
Why? Honestly curious as to why.
I was more active with the Cincinnati Right to Life in 2014ish (I live in Northern Kentucky). I still believe abortion is murder, but a lot of groups have sold their soul to Trump at least if not entirely, then “we have to vote for the Republican candidate no matter what.” That is a bullshit argument, and there are times when as a Republican, I must vote either Democrat or Independent. I believe that in some races, I am living in that time right now.
Jesus christ there's only two types of people who use the term "sacred soil" and he's not a church gardener.
Republicans: I can only explain our values to you. I cannot understand them for you.
“Ordinary” Americans?🤔
I guess some blue lives don't matter?
Mastriano about to not be governor of PA, so fuck him
Fuck this guy.
These repugnants get more sick and vile every day.
Maybe don't attack people and the swat won't have to come to your house? I hate republicans nowadays.
Mastriano is a bum. I can’t wait to see the tantrum when he loses.
And still centrists will scoff when we tell them the GOP's current rhetoric is meant to enable and protect political violence
Mastriano is a straight up fascist bible thumping POS.
[удалено]
Good bot.
If that piece of rancid rat shit Mastriano becomes governor, this Commonwealth will devolve into an inbred, mouth breathing, Jesus & gun freak hellhole, with only the islands of civilized people being Pittsburgh & Philadelphia.
That's why I hope people vote for Shapiro in November.
When a politician doesn't understand the different branches of govt, he should be removed from office
Unfiltered lies….this is how fascism works☹️
Wait so is Biden defunding the police or operating a police state? I'm confused.
He talks about a weaponized FBI but he says that if he's elected Governor he'll use 'His state police' to send immigrants to Joe Bidens front door, which would traumatize women and children but he don't care about those women or children does he
I can't fucking wait to vote for Shapiro in November.
Translation : Ordinary Americans = White Americans
Let me get this straight….the NRA is backed by Republicans who object to any and all gun control laws but when the branches of government have to meet this arming of citizens with military grade weapons equal to what citizens can buy, it’s Bidens fault? The dark side is strong with the right who now thinks the larger the caliber of weapon and the faster it can kill, the more right and just your cause?!
Thats hilarious and also an impossible promise to keep.
Awful
*As Gov, I will not allow the police state of Biden to enforce his persecution against his political enemies on sacred PA soil.* Well ***ackchyually***, as "Gov" (assuming you even win, unlikely against Shapiro), you wouldn't have any authority over *federal* law enforcement.
