I already know that the GOP are morons when it comes to environmental policies, because most of the time it’s well…like Team B’s analysis of Soviet military capabilities: based almost completely on fiction, not facts.

Today, the Polish parliament will read a proposed law that makes it illegal to “promote homosexuality”, including - I am not exaggerating - pretty much ANY positive talk of LGBT+ people and their rights in public settings.
And foreign media seem almost entirely silent on this.
The law was drafted a while ago, but didn’t get into the Parliament for procedural reasons.
It EXPLICITLY bans e.g.:
- talking about LGBT ppl/issues in schools;
- Pride marches and any other LGBT-related public events;
- public endorsement of same-sex marriage or rights;
You read that right. If you say “I think gay people should get to be married” in a public setting, the new law states that you’d be committing a crime.

Been kinda overshadowed by the controversy over the Polish Supreme Court claiming that their national law supersedes European law and the sanctions the EU has taken in retaliation for their violation of judicial independence (lately, they’ve been fined 1 million euros for each day they keep delaying the disbanding of the Disciplinary Chamber of the Supreme Court).

If Poland keeps infringing on the rule of law like this, it’s headed for getting kicked out of the EU, and unlike the Brits, the Poles certainly don’t want that (and the Hungarians better watch out as well).

BTW, did that guy out himself as being behind two BP handles again (assuming #A191 was the other; I know there was also at least a third one)? I swear, some idiots don’t know when to quit…

You are a year late with your outrage on that.
This bill was on the table 2020 they just pulled it out again.

Backgroundpony’s right, the ruling Law and Justice party in Poland has been brazenly homophobic for a while already.

Oh hey, FUCKING NOW everyone is talking about something going on in the EU…
Where was this concern back in 2019 with Article 13?
And with the TERREG?

Huh. Must’ve somehow missed that.
Then again, considering how most news sources seem to be quiet on this, I’m not really surprised.

I’m not sure there’s a legal provision to kick countries out of the EU. What they can do is put the screws to Papa Doc Duda-lier and his cronies until they beg for Pexit.

American companies don’t really control the internet though. It’s the same argument conservatives have had.

The billionaire tax plan has been thrown out of the Dem’s budget Reconciliation proposal, thanks to Manchin.
Which is a sad thing since taxing only 700 people less than a quarter on every dollar above $1 billion (ie, the first $1 billion is unaffected. Thank god, who can live with “only” a billion dollars amirite?) was projected to singlehandedly cut child poverty in half on top of basically funding many other social programs that would lift millions, plural, of lower class out of squalor and still allowing the entire middle class to also see an improvement in their life.
But the saddest of all was that Donald Trump threatened to leave the country if he got taxed.
To which I say:
A) M8, it’s a billionaire tax. You have nothing to worry about.
B) 
Manchin really fucked us on this one.

Wasn’t there a time when pornos mocked shitty and stupid politicians by having them be portrayed as repulsive as possible in their parodies?Bring that shit back, we need a grand roasting of Sinema and Manchin getting shagged in a Coal Mine that’s flooding due to climate change.
