Well, yes, they have lost their minds. They lost them back when George W. Bush was president, which is when the term barking moonbat came about. They were worse when Bush won in 2004. Then they started getting very weird when Obama was president, and then pure bat-guano insane with Trump as president. And even wonkier now
Missouri Republican Senator Josh Hawley says the Democrats “have lost their minds” after his tense exchange with a progressive pro-choice California law professor went viral.
Hawley torched the Democrats in an exclusive statement to Fox News Digital, calling the party “extremists” and saying the Democrats’ descent into madness is on display for the whole country.
“The Democrats have become such extremists. Now their official line is men can get pregnant — and if you disagree, you’re violent,” Hawley said on Tuesday after the exchange went viral online. “They have lost their minds and the whole country can see it.”
On Tuesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on the impact of the Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade and sent the subject of abortion back to be decided at the state level.
The University of California at Berkeley law professor Khiara Bridges, a pro-choice witness on a panel before the Senate, accused Hawley of endangering transgender Americans by asking if only women can get pregnant.
Here’s the exchange

It really is insane
During the hearing, Hawley asked Bridges about her use of the phrase “people with the capacity for pregnancy” and if she meant “women” by it.
In response, Bridges tore off her mask and said that many “cis-women have the capacity for pregnancy” and that “many cis-women” are not able to get pregnant.
“There are also trans-men who are capable of pregnancy as well as non-binary people who are capable of pregnancy,” Bridges continued.
“So this isn’t really a women’s rights issue, it’s a what?” Hawley retorted. Bridges responded that people can “recognize this impacts women while also recognizing that it impacts other groups.”
“So, your view is that the core of this right then is about what?” Hawley asked.
“I want to recognize that your line of questioning is transphobic and it opens trans people up to violence,” the professor said.
“Wow, you’re saying that I’m opening up people to violence by asking whether or not women are the folks who can have pregnancies?” Hawley responded.
The UC Berkley law professor did not answer Hawley’s question, instead pointing to a suicide attempt statistic for transgender Americans and claiming the senator was “denying trans people exist.”
“I’m denying trans people exist by asking you if you’re talking about women having pregnancies?” Hawley asked as Bridges barked “are you” over his question.
Um, what are we talking about at this point? These people are batshit crazy. And, yes, trans people are much more likely to have suicidal thoughts and attempt suicide than regular people, because they are mentally ill.
U.S. — A recent study published by the American Federation of Teachers has revealed remarkable progress in educating America’s youth. Notably, the study reports the nation’s fourth-graders are now gay at a 12th-grade level.
This good news comes at a crucial time for the oft-criticized public education system, as it can now show that American tax dollars are actually being used effectively.
“Fourth graders with 12th-grade gayness is just one of the many positive results of public education,” said AFT president, Randi Weingarten, “We’re also seeing a rise in gender fluidity, trans-speciesism, and astounding progress in overt sexualization of kindergarten children.”
Weingarten continued, saying public education’s productivity in these categories would not have been possible without pioneering efforts from the lobbying of gay marriage activists, surreptitious injection of Marxist ideology in universities, and, finally, Republicans having no clue what’s going on.
The press conference ended with a bedazzling show featuring half-naked drag queens letting fourth-graders put cash in their g-strings.
And to think that 75% of black males graduating from high school in California can not read. But, they are taught to be gay.
The commenter neglected to identify the source as the Babylon Bee, aka “The Onion for Morons”.
Senator Josh “Traitor” Hawley (Q-Mars) is full of it. The professor beat him up and taught him a little.
It’s hardly news that a nuGOPher like Hawley is anti-LGBQT. It could have been a lucky guess by the professor.
Hawley led Senate efforts to overturn the Electoral College vote count and rallied supporters of the Stop the Steal conspiracy theory that motivated an attack on the U.S. Capitol.
He is a senator from Missouri in name only; his objective is national office as a trumpist.
As MO AG, Hawley and then his even more reactionary successor, Eric Schmidt (now running for Senate!!) looked the other way after a Black man was killed in a Missouri jail.
Your constant insults of everyone with whom you disagree have convinced me of your correct stand. Wait, no. In fact keep it up. You and people like you are driving folks to the GOP in mass. Thank you for your recruitment efforts. memo.
Did you just call the greatest insurrection in recorded history causing trillions in damages and the deaths of millions “a riot”? Shame on you. You forgot your commie memo.
What exactly did she “teach” him that has a reality based on science? This should be good…
He’s anti-alphabet people…”. Nice try, but simply questioning the science behind all this isn’t anti-anything. But I guess it’s some sort of progress that “racist” wasn’t used. It was no doubt being used by so many other libs as they were losing other arguments that it was all used up…..
We notice that nowhere in his screed did J refute one thing that Hawley said at the hearing. When one can’t attack the message, one attacks the messenger..
That President of the AFT, Weingarten? Is he a Jew?
The GOP THE party if sexual suppression.
Realky big amongst the incells
If you’re a man pretending to be a woman or a pregnant woman even, fine, knock yourself out, nobody cares.
If you’re a man and believe that you are a woman (or a woman and believe that you’re a man) you aren’t trans, you’re delusional. It’s a psychotic disorder. People who are delusional can’t tell reality from imagined or believe things that could never happen.
Everyone may use any terminology they wish when discussing these matters and you may even get your delusion into the Congressional Record (there’s plenty worse in there) but pitching public tantrums because others will not pretend with you, share your delusion or use the particular nomenclature that you, in your delusion, espouse is not helping anyone.
If you have 2 X chromosomes, then you should have the ‘plumbing’ and related ‘structure’ to get pregnant. If you have a Y chromosome and only 1 X chromosome, then you do not have the ‘bits’ to get pregnant. People with an education refer to the XX chromosome people as female or women. The XY chromosome people are usually referred to as male or men. It actually takes one of each to create a pregnancy. Most have known these facts for eons. While I am aware that lefties aren’t particularly bright, I would think they could catch on to this basic rule of life.
If you wish to pretend to be something else, fine. Just leave me the Hell out of your little dramatic comedy and don’t get upset when I don’t care about your feelings.
Dear Elwood:
“The professor beat him up and taught him a little.”
The professor gave us an outstanding example of true stupidity and arrogance while making a strong case for the tax payers of CA to tear down the U of CA and rip put the roots.
What a shame that we have such trash in our education system.
Our distinguished host quoted:
If Senator Hawley, who represents the distinguished Mr Dowd in the Senate
, really was ‘denying that trans people exist,” then Senator Hawley was correct!
There are no actual trans women; there are only
menmales who are completely delusional and who (may) have undergone surgical mutilation and/or ridiculous hormone treatments.There are no actual trans men; there are only
womenfemales who are completely delusionsl and who (may) have undergone surgical mutilation and/pr ridiculous hormone treatments.Senatx Hawley denied that trans people exist. This is a common belief among nuCons/tRumpists.
Jeff,
No trans people exist, they are psychotic. If you had knowledge of medicine you would know.
So, Mr Dowd, do you deny the statements, “There are no actual trans women; there are only
menmales who are completely delusional and who (may) have undergone surgical mutilation and/or ridiculous hormone treatments,” and “There are no actual trans men; there are onlywomenfemales who are completely delusional and who (may) have undergone surgical mutilation and/pr ridiculous hormone treatments” are true?I am a Star Trek fan. If I could find some quack plastic surgeon to give me pointed ears, and started to claim that I am Vulcan, would you accept that claim as genuine, or would you think that I was nuts, off my rocker, cookoo for Cocoa Puffs?
Do you believe that a person can simply change sex?
Think about someone like Bradley Manning. No matter what he believed that he was, he still grew to adulthood being raised as a boy, and excluded from many of the experiences that real girls have growing up. He never had a period. He was never worried about getting pregnant, no matter how many boys he f(ornicated). He didn’t get to play the games American girls play among themselves, without boys. He never experienced the general socialization that girls get growing up. Rather, what he has is some idea of how he thinks girls should think, but only having observed it from the outside. I guess that he has boobs now, but if he does, they’re fake. He may even have a [insert slang term for the vagina here] now, but it, too, is fake, and has to be ‘dilated’ every day to keep what is, for a biological male, an open wound from closing up.
In the year 2525, if man is still alive, some cultural anthropologist will dig up the remains of someone with “Chelsea Manning” on the tombstone. In his efforts to help put together 21st century history after the nuclear war that almost wiped out mankind, he will examine the body. The soft tissues will have long since decomposed, but the skeleton will remain. He’ll examine the skeleton, and write down in his notes, “The subject was male,” based on the distinctions between males and females.
Then, checking carefully, he’ll discover that some DNA can be recovered from the marrow inside the femur. Checking that out, he’ll discover an X and Y chromosomes, and write down in his notes, “DNA testing has confirmed that the subject was male.”
These will be objective determinations, made according to the best scientific information remaining to us after President Kevin McCarthy just managed to get the nuclear war that President Joe Biden started to try to push Russia out of Ukraine. (As Speaker of the House beginning in January of 2023, Mr McCarthy became President after President Biden and Vice President Kamala Emhoff were incinerated in the nuclear attack which destroyed Washington, DC.) Fortunately, while Vladimir Putin struck many large American cities, he resisted attempting total annihilation, and many smaller towns and the rural areas survived.
That Mr Manning claim he’s a chick now is his subjective belief. Yet the scientist from 503 years in the future will not see Mr Manning’s subjective assessment, and only be able to make determinations based upon objective criteria.
So, as someone at least somewhat familiar with scientific processes as you have told us you are, can you state that the objective reality of Mr Manning being male is actually the case, or are you going to accept the subjective claims made by him and his followers?
Once the nuCons take over, maybe they can ban discussions of LBGTQ issues, along with discussions of slavery, abortion etc.
Psychosis is the loss of touch with reality, much like the “election confused” who claim that DonJon tReason won the 2020 election who suffer from mass pseudo-psychosis.
Sad
