    Tucker Carlson attacked the US while excusing Russia. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes is more communist than Putin. In Russia peaceful protesters aren't arrested like January 6 insurrectionists, except of course they are. And US government is going into people's homes to take away their guns, which also isn't happening.

    Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson is the only kind of Black man Republicans like. A frequent guest on Sean Hannity and other right wing media, he naturally wants to outlaw abortion and birth control and hates gays. Standard, in fact mandatory. He says Black people need to build strong hetero families although he is unmarried.

    Even further, he has praised enslavement of Black people.

    He said people who march in Pride are children of Satan.

    Not only must women be deprived of any control over our fertility, we can't even have fun in the process. He has denounced women who have orgasms as trying to be like men, who are the only ones allowed to enjoy sex.

    Two male members of his congregation have charged he had extended sexual relationships with them.

    So they say women must be breeders to supply children for others, then call those others fake parents.

    Today a comet is passing closer to earth than any previously that we've recorded that hasn't impacted the planet ...I'd say rock bottom is getting pretty close!

    If one is for limited government where states largely handle their own, and make their own choices, how is that considered fascism? Isn't fascism more when one law or entity rules over all?

    Interracial marriage.

    INTERRACIAL MARRIAGE.

    Not allowing people to get married because of their race.

    Dude.

    So what did the guy actually say? Did he say that he doesn't think interracial marriage should be legal? Or did he say he doesn't think the federal government should have the role of dictating that to the states?

    Edit: it appears that he was even more narrow in his statement, specifically saying that he doesn't believe the Supreme Court should be using that dictate:

    I think he's an idiot for even engaging on that kind of question that clearly has no positive outcome for him.

    This.

    But come on, not allowing the races to mix is fucking racist. It's not a states rights issue. No state should have a say in that.

    Oh I would move to a state that didn't make it illegal, but isn't the point to allow everyone their own choice?

    And it would be good if the follow up had been, "What do you think is the proper handling if a state is passing clearly racist or bigoted legislation? Does any branch of the federal government have the right, role, or responsibility to step in and act in the public interest when an individual state is clearly marginalizing members of its citizenry?" I'd like to see how he would respond to a direct question like that.

    What I'm saying is that it's BS to take a guy saying "The Supreme Court shouldn't be dictating to states on matters like this," and twist it to act like he said, "BlAcK pEoPlE aNd WhItE pEoPlE sHoUlDn'T mArRy!!"

    So you get married in a state, live there, raise your family there, pay taxes, just live your life, then one day that very same state says you're no longer married and you have to move to get remarried?

    Why isn't it a states rights issue? I am asking. Is it against one of the federal constitutional rights?

    Politicians--more often than not, Republican politicians--say enough stupid stuff worthy of being called out on that there's no reason to invent objectionable statements where they don't exist.

    The state would vote on it. No different than anything else. If enough people vote for it then that is what they want.

    Is say it's an equal protection violation. Saying that you'd be allowed to marry a white woman but Jose next door can't seems like unequal treatment.
