It's Who They Are (UPDATED)

 

Yesterday, the deranged, twice- indicted sex assaulter Malignant Loser appeared at the North Carolina Republican Convention (he also showed up at Georgia's Republican klavern, er, convention).  On the same day, as yet another sign of how extreme these Christofascists have become, the North Carolina party took a look at its conservative Republican Senator, Thom Tillis, and did this:

Republican delegates in North Carolina voted Saturday at their annual convention to censure Thom Tillis, the state’s senior U.S. senator, for backing LGBTQ+ rights, immigration and gun violence policies.

As Sen. Tillis has gained influence in Congress for his willingness to work across the aisle, his record of supporting some key policies has raised concerns among some state Republicans that the senator has strayed from conservative values.

Several delegates in Greensboro criticized Tillis, who has held his seat in the Senate since 2015, for his work last year on the Respect For Marriage Act, which enshrined protections for same-sex and interracial marriages in federal law.

Both the state and national GOP platforms oppose same-sex marriage. But Tillis, who had opposed it earlier in his political career, was among the early supporters of the law who lobbied his GOP colleagues in Congress to vote in favor of it.

Others criticized him for challenging former President Donald Trump’s immigration policies and for supporting a measure that provided funds for red flag laws, which allow state courts to authorize the temporary removal of firearms from people who they believe might pose a danger to themselves or others...

This is the same bunch of bigoted rubes that ate up the deranged, twice- indicted, sex assaulter Malignant Loser's hateful, meandering rants, including this revealing beauty:

TRUMP: Boy, what a bunch of easily manipulated rubes you people are, it's amazing, even after all this time I still can't believe how stupid you are
AUDIENCE: Woo hoo! You tell 'em, Trump! Yeah! https://t.co/SO4fWJDJaT

 What a shame to have to share a country with these things.

UPDATED:  Hate words have consequences --

Several Target stores throughout Oklahoma City along with other areas in Central Oklahoma were evacuated late Saturday according to Oklahoma City Police.

Moments before the evacuations an email was sent out to several newsrooms including KFOR’s and state lawmakers threatening a detonation of a bomb.  

The email starts by writing, “We are going to play a game” and includes the date of April 19, 1995, which is the same date as the deadly Oklahoma City bombing.

It then goes on to say “2 of these Target locations have bombs in them. We hid the bombs inside some product items. The bombs will detonate in several hours, guess which ones have the bombs. Time is ticking.”  [snip]

The event comes just days after Target was slammed on social media for its LGBTQ+ children’s merchandise being sold in several stores, which has since been taken off shelves.

Again, that we have to share a country with these blocks, these stones, these worse than senseless things...
