   Hateful people.

   Montana bill sponsor: I prefer my transgender daughter commit suicide rather than allow her to transition.

   1. Ah, parental love.

      And I’m guessing that the representative brags about being pro-life.

      If only the representative’s transgender daughter had the good sense to stay in her uterus forever, her daughter would be safe.

   2. Please.  Tell me this woman's child is grown up and has broken off all contact with this bitch.

      1. Wonder how Seekins-Crowe will spend Mothers Day?

         Fortunately, not all Montana’s non-cis children are wished to be dead, or estranged:

            Hopefully very much alone.

2. I’m enjoying the snowflakes melting down over POTUS “cheat sheet” with the press.  It’s almost like FDFQ would never…

   President Trump's listening session cheat sheet: 'I hear you'

   Twitter user Cveronica wrote: "What kind of person needs notes to show empathy to children who were under heavy fire from a maniac? Kids who lost 17 people in the time it took the killer to aim his rapid fire AR-15".

      1. I always had him pegged as more of an Uncle Fester type.

         1. I’m old enough to remember the time FDFQ went for 300 days without a briefing. 

            Trump White House goes 300+ days without a press briefing – why that's unprecedented

3. Common sense and perhaps a glimmer of hope from Jennifer Rubin:

   Guns: NO ONE needs a weapon of war. If we cannot make a distinction between semiautomatic weapons that shred the bodies of toddlers and a hunting rifle, then we’re too dumb for self-governance. The consequences of an increasingly paranoid, gun-fetishizing segment of our society ready to shoot innocents should prompt us to revisit the gun debate. Washington this week became the 10th state to ban assault weapons. A goal of getting half the states to do the same within the next five to 10 years does not seem unreasonable.

4. Duke – per our earlier discussion this week:

   Former White House chief of staff says ‘sexism and racism’ contribute to Harris criticism

   Former Biden chief of staff Ron Klain sounded off on why he thinks Vice President Harris has faced so much criticism in her first term as vice president, saying “sexism and racism are part of the problem.”

   “I think she was not as well known in national politics before she became vice president,” Klain said in an interview on the podcast “On with Kara Swisher” released Thursday. “She hasn’t gotten the credit for all that she’s done; she’s done a lot of very hard work.”
