What the heil? Swastika found in House Republican's office.
(From the Daily Kos)


Republican lawmakers have been screaming for weeks that anyone who calls their party fascist is responsible for political violence across the country.

And yet, on Wednesday, a GOP lawmaker from Ohio was caught with a swastika in his office—a symbol appropriated by Adolf Hitler’s’ Nazi Party and one that white supremacists continue to use as a sign of their hatred today.

Republican Rep. Dave Taylor of Ohio denounced the swastika, which was spotted on Wednesday on a wall in the background of a videoconferencing call that a constituent had with one of Taylor's congressional aides. The swastika appeared as part of an altered American flag, with the flag’s red stripes forming a swastika in the middle.

Loved this Bluesky response: "Really depressed that my parents never had any kids. Gonna talk to my siblings and see how they feel about this shocking development."

I cannot wait to see how MAGA men, especially young ones, handle the "50% of the sperm count, 50% of the testosterone of a 65 year old man." I don't think they are a group who will handle any admittance of low testosterone gracefully, if at all. :D

As to the female maturity thing, 6 or 7 years would have put me, my daughter and both my granddaughters at age 4 to 5.

He's either incredibly stupid, incredibly unaware or both.

Maybe he needs to get back on the heroin so he can study up for his job, it worked for him last time!

Another one for the protected list?


An Ohio pastor was charged with child rape two years after he opposed a book series he said wrongfully encouraged children to "explore their sexuality."

Silas Shelton, 52, who lives in Warren County and serves as a pastor at Blanchester Community Ministries in Clinton County, was arrested on Oct. 15. He faces charges including child rape and sexual battery after a detective said he abused a minor over a period of about six years.

Certainly a disaster of biblical proportion, human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria.

"We’re already getting to work in key states to make sure every Republican vote is safe and secure."

Yup. Every Republican vote plus a couple of extras here and there.

Republican Elizabeth Ann Davis has been found guilty of voter fraud for casting ballots for both her late ex-husband and son in the 2022 general election.

That's the second one I've read about in the past few days.

Danielle Christine Miller, 51, of Nashwauk, in a rural area about three hours north of Minneapolis, was charged last fall with three felonies after local election officials notified authorities in October about two absentee ballots that had been flagged for fraud. One of those was from a registered voter who had died, Miller's mother.

Remember when Trump bitched about Biden's use of the autopen and even ordered an inquiry into it? Well...

"The Justice Department posted pardons online bearing identical copies of President Donald Trump’s signature before quietly correcting them this week after what the agency called a 'technical error.”'

That one actually gets worse. Much worse. NSFL in spoiler.


A suspended county magistrate is accused of sexually abusing children in his West Ashley neighborhood and planning to travel to Florida to molest and allegedly kill an infant with another man, according to a new filing from federal prosecutors.

James B. Gosnell Jr., 68, is expected to be charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor in state court after federal investigators searched his phone and found lengthy Telegram conversations he had with suspected pedophiles.

In those conversations, he allegedly admitted to abusing children in his care, traveling internationally to molest children and offering training to others, according to a Sept. 22 filing by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for South Carolina.

“The conversations detailed the children … that Gosnell had raped and abused, and formed plans for Gosnell to travel to Florida in November to rape and potentially (kill) a very young child. All of this was done while he served as a judge for Charleston County,” a detention hearing brief reads.

Pardoned Capitol Rioter Tried to Hush Child Sex Victim With Promise of Jan. 6 Reparation Money, Police Say

"A pardoned January 6 rioter has been charged with sex crimes against two children. Andrew Paul Johnson was arraigned in a Florida court in October on multiple charges, including molesting a child as young as 11 years old, joining a growing list of U.S. Capitol rioters pardoned by President Donald Trump who now face new legal trouble.

Johnson dangled the prospect that one of the children could receive money because, Johnson claimed, he was entitled to $10 million as part of reparations for his January 6 arrest, according to a police report from a Hernando County Sheriff’s Department detective.

Those convicted and later pardoned for involvement in the January 6 riot have not been rewarded any reparations, though Trump and January 6 rioters have floated the idea of a compensation fund.

Johnson said he would put the victim in his will to receive any of the money left after his death. Police believed this was done to keep the child from “exposing what Andrew had done,” according to the arrest report, which was filed in court.

[...]

In one case, he has been charged with lewd or lascivious molestation of a child under the age of 12."

I know this doesn't fit this thread exactly...

It’s close enough in my opinion. The notion that evert accusation is a confession is a manifestation of psychological facts regarding the way guilt and fear work. The cultural system in which we have our being and which is instrumental in forming our world views about how we experience things are based in their acquisition on the moral controls it uses to insure code compliance on guilt and fear in my opinion. One is made to fear being guilty ay threat of abandonment, the withdrawal of love and support as a child at a time in which we could not survive without them. We were made to feel unworthy of the good by being punished this way via the threat of continued shaming until we are broken like a whipped horse.

And while the success of such measures, fear induced by threat, work by the trigger mechanism of accusation, there is included in this a hidden dimension. Nobody wants to feel that guilt. The buffer that prevents the intolerable pain that had to be suppressed to survive, the reward we gave ourselves to continue to survive as children, the false compliant self, controlled by fear of guilt, the imaginary now I’m a good person fit to be accepted by all as a moral person was converted, not be inner self awareness of the true value of moral behavior, but by the force of fear.

So the consequence is not real moral intention, but doing anything to avoid feeling unworthy. This is the source of moral hypocrisy.

There is a constant war within, endless experience of temptation and self abnegation. Those in this condition see the world through this lens. Everyone is corrupted like I am and the only fix is pretense and the safety of self righteous accusation first. Join the holy warrior crusaders and burn the witches at the stake. In the safety of mutual self righteous company the indulgence of natural desires not maturely evolved and self permitted under the self justification that one deserves to indulge them.

Sadly our contempt of such people is motivated by disgust, the same sense of guilt by which we too were molded. Pity is thus replaced by contempt.

But the system creates this inner schism making us blind to it. Trying to fix the system is the problem. There are experiences one can have via self analysis that lead to a different way of seeing. This is naturally my view but I don’t think I am alone in it.

This ,without the psychological origins of why this is so can be summed up as, “whatever is a fact about your inner reality will be suspected and seen not in yourself but projected on others. Everybodywith any openness to reality will know this and see this sickness in others, the will not likely know, however, why. That gets too close to home and threatens everything one believes, all of our system generated sacred beliefs. By sacred, of course, I mean ego ego flattering. The fear generated by their implantation is systemic and universal.

The need to be loved was used to destroy us. There is no exit once the damage is done. The way out is the experience of transcendent love, a mystical experience of oneness. We are not separate. We are everything. As above, so below. Real identity appears naturally when false identity is let go of. Letting go feels like dying but not so intolerable if one realizes one’s own real misery and surrenders by giving up on denial. This truth is out there all over the place but it’s hard to recognize that which isn’t familiar.
