Donald Trump wants you to know that he’s a “stable genius.” Why is that whenever I think of that phrase, I picture a horse counting to three on his hooves? Just this week, Trump had a military doctor appear before the press and declare him to be physically and mentally fit to run the most […]
Will Republicans ever learn? Today we have yet another narrow-minded GOP moron who has decided to comment on the issue of rape, and like so many before him, his comments have landed him in hot water. Brian Kurcaba, who is a GOP Delegate to the West Virginia state legislature, was speaking during a hearing on […]
Take a good look at this photo. This is Tennessee state Representative Sheila Butt, and she is the face of total ignorance in the Volunteer State. On Tuesday, Ms. Butt (more on that name in a bit) decided to offer a motion to table an amendment which would have exempted victims of rape and incest […]
Why is it that so many members of the Republican Party seem to think that rape is no big deal when it happens to a woman? Is it because they truly are that freaking ignorant, or might it be a case of willful ignorance? The latest GOP member to open his mouth and step on […]
Seems like lots of Republicans not only claim to know what’s best for a woman when it comes to her body and the reproductive choices she makes, but also what God thinks on the matter.

It was received with rapturous […]
Donald Trump hasn’t even taken the oath of office yet and his nominee to be Attorney General hasn’t been confirmed, but already pro-life groups and their Congressional allies are calling for an all-out assault on women’s reproductive choices. On Tuesday, Republicans, led by Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley released a report which encourages the […]
If perhaps you were wondering just how quickly the Republicans–who now control both houses of Congress and the White House–would begin stripping away the reproductive rights of women, we now have an answer: Trump hasn’t even been sworn in and it’s already happening. Appearing this morning on State of the Union, Speaker of the House […]
Right wingers and their political allies in the Republican Party just love to attack Planned Parenthood. They hold endless Congressional hearings which yield nothing but extremist lies and constantly attempt to cut funding to this provider of numerous healthcare services for women across the country.
