No-Fault Divorce: Republicans Next Hill to Die on

No-Fault Divorce, Are Republicans REALLY this dumb?

No-fault divorce is just the latest effort by Republicans to shoot themselves in the foot. Seriously, do their states not have more pressing matters?

From Rolling Stone:

Republicans across the country are now reconsidering no-fault divorce. There isn’t a huge mystery behind the campaign: Like the crusades against abortion and contraception, making it more difficult to leave an unhappy marriage is about control. … Last year, the Republican Party of Texas added language to its platform calling for an end to no-fault divorce: “We urge the Legislature to rescind unilateral no-fault divorce laws, to support covenant marriage, and to pass legislation extending the period of time in which a divorce may occur to six months after the date of filing for divorce.”

good old days without no-fault divorceAh, the good old days, when men and women were stuck in loveless marriages for their entire lives.  When men could keep women under their thumb while keeping mistresses and doing whatever the hell else they wanted.

A time when women could own no property, were not eligible for credit, and were considered merely an extension of their husbands.

Thank God conservative hero RONALD REAGAN signed the first no-fault divorce bill into California law in 1969.

Fast forward to 2023 and Republicans, on the heels of having stepped in it with the issue of abortion, are talking about changing divorce law. Good luck with that.

IF ANYTHING is going to backfire, it’s this lame-brained scheme. Couples will just choose to not get married or, if they want a divorce, they’ll just agree on a reason.

No more no-fault divorce? Marriage, no thank you!

They keep pushing and pushing but WE WILL PUSH BACK.

Megyn Kelly Throws Fit Over Chrissy Teigen’s Dress

Megyn Kelly threw a hissy fit recently over, of all things, Chrissy Teigen’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner dress.

If you saw the dress in question, you might think “Oh, that’s pretty” or “Boy, that’s ridiculous” (I fall into the latter category). Megyn Kelly, however, reacted with a “mean girl” hissy fit reminiscent of a child not invited to a birthday party.

From Mediaite:

Megyn KellyReacting to a video which showed Teigen arriving at the dinner with her husband John Legend and three women who held the back of her dress, Kelly said, “She has by my count three minions following her — that’s minions in her view — following her, holding the dress or the train of her non-existent dress.”

“I can see underwear, ok? I can see London, I see France, I see Chrissy’s underpants,” she went on, before claiming, “Nobody shows underpants at the White House Correspondents Dinner, okay Chrissy? They just don’t do it. And nobody shows up with serfs to carry their train, which there shouldn’t be on your White House Correspondents Dinner dress anyway because it’s barely a formal event.”

Kelly claimed Teigen’s flashy entrance was a picture of “everything wrong with the elitism… the self importance, the aggrandizement of this fake, stupid event.”

See the video below; you can just imagine Megyn stomping her feet, arms crossed like a two year old:

Her claim that the WHCD isn’t “that formal” is ridiculous, and plenty of photos show otherwise. Formal or not, it’s hard to imagine getting that worked up over a damn dress. Just sayin’…  roses post ender

Nikki Haley: Biden Would Die During Second Term

There’s Ignorant, then There’s Nikki Haley Ignorant

Nikki Haley made a truly appalling statement about Joe Biden’s age in a recent Fox interview:

nikki haley “He announced that he’s running again in 2024, and I think that we can all be very clear and say with a matter of fact that if you vote for Joe Biden you really are counting on a President Harris, because the idea that he would make it until 86 years old is not something that I think is likely.”

FYI: There happen to be 15 current members of Congress age 80 or older, 4 of whom are Republicans.

Nikki Haley’s ignorance could be attributed to the lower life expectancy in her own state of South Carolina as with most red states.

Lower Life Expectancy in Nikki Haley's state

In a poorly disguised dog whistle, she also points to the possibility of a President Harris. This is a bone tossed to rock the white world base. In fairness, Republican women get nowhere unless they climb into the gutter with the party’s racist faction. Considering her own related experiences, this is especially low.

Finally, if you want to talk about a President’s longevity, I leave you with this:                                                                                                 roses post ender

Fox Fires Tucker Carlson and Maga Tears Fall

Fox fires Tucker Carlson, who could have hoped for a better inaugural post?

Tucker Carlson recently fired from Fox

Fox fires Tucker Carlson, catching everyone off guard, including himself. Here are a few reactions from the right for your enjoyment:

Fox News regular Jason Whitlock: “I’ve watched Tucker Carlson get closer and closer to God.”  not a pastor jason whitlock

What God would that be? Prov 10:18: ” He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.”  Whitlock is a sports columnist, not a pastor, just sayin’…

QAnon John (Whoever the hell that is):“[Fox ] is “…going to find out just how LOVED & RESPECTED Tucker Carlson was at their network, … they just made a HUGE martyr out of him, and cemented his legacy FOREVER as the one of the Greatest Of All Time.”

Hack… the Greatest Hack.

glenn greenwaldGlenn Greenwald: “One reason there’s so much hatred among left-liberal media types toward Tucker is petty jealousy: that goes without saying. They always hate most those who succeed in journalism.”

“Journalism”, that cracks me up; of course, Greenwald calls himself a “journalist”, so there’s that.

matt gaetzMatt Gaetz: “Tucker Carlson was the best America First voice we had in mainstream media. He challenged the system.”

“America First” – Right Wing translation: Hating all non-straight-white-male Americans while loving all Dictators foreign and domestic.

charlie kirkConservative Charlie Kirk: “Tucker Carlson remade the right, he was more powerful than anybody else since the death of Rush Limbaugh in reshaping the right.

That’s one of the reasons why your party is such a mess, Charlie.

marjorie t greene

 

MTG: “Cable news is about to be taught a powerful lesson after Fox News caved to the woke mob and fired Tucker Carlson. Americans no longer blindly watch the news like they did decades ago, they only watch the ones who have courage to tell the truth.”

Excuse me but, if EVER there was a group that “blindly watches the news”, it is the Fox viewer.

So there you go, just a sample of the Right’s reactions to the canning of Tucker Carlson aka: “A stupid person’s idea of what an intelligent person sounds like.”
