BREAKING: South Carolina Democrats demand that the state's Republican Gov. Henry McMaster apologize for jaw-droppingly violent remarks made at a recent GOP convention.
Over the weekend, McMaster told an audience that he looks "forward to the day that democrats are so rare, we have to hunt them with dogs.”
The comment was clearly designed to evoke images of Republicans chasing and shooting Democrats dead — a horrifying suggestion during a time when political violence is on the rise. In the south, it's undeniable that his words could be also be construed as a call for lynchings.
Over and over again we see Republican voters taking their fetishized guns and carrying out violent, murderous acts after seeing some deranged conspiracy theory on Fox News or hearing some GOP politician spew hatred.
The Democratic Party in Anderson and Charleston counties have put out a petition on the DNC website calling on the governor to “apologize and retract this racially-tinged dog whistle.”
If he fails to apologize, Democrats want the South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division to “open an investigation into this threat and incitement of political violence.”
Retweet if you think that we should skip the apology and move right to the investigation!
This is truly, simply what the WGA strike is about: do you detect a difference b/t the shows you stream (through Roku, your laptop, etc) and the ones you watch through a cable box? Bc we do the same work for both, but we take a HUGE paycut for streaming shows. 1/3
In case you missed the news earlier or :45 videos are :45 too long, I put up a few billboards today in my hometown of Nashville, right smack down in the buckle of the Bible Belt.
This will go over well…right?
holy fucking shit, Donald Trump now claims covid was a bioweapon that China deliberately released in America because they were angry about Trump's tariffs. I shit you not. the family of rats that live inside Trump's head have finally chewed through all the wires
In case you're wondering how things are going in Texas, our district canceled all sex ed classes this year but is now required to offer kids training in bleeding control techniques, including "tourniquets approved for use in battlefield trauma care by the armed forces."
PSA: The WGA strike may mean that novelists & authors get approached for screenwriting. While this may seem like a perfect opportunity, please note that the WGA does strongly enforces its right to prevent non-members who have engaged in scabbing from ever becoming members.
A 6 year old girl was looking for her lost cat. And you felt threatened for your safety? “You don’t ring doorbells in 2023. Keep your kids away”? What the fuck is happening in this country?
I'm in the Writers Guild of America. I wish this wasn't happening and support it absolutely. When I wake up tomorrow I'll be on strike. (To forestall the inevitable questions, Good Omens 2 is completed and handed in. Although I may not be able to promote it as I had hoped.)
The MAGA GOP will crush pensions, raise prices, and cut spending on veterans in a cynical effort to make President Biden take the blame and look weak on the economy. They're an extremist group pushing an extremist agenda, at any costs.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Chef José Andrés DESTROYS Texas Governor Gregg Abbott for dehumanizing five Texas mass shooting victims by calling them “illegal immigrants.”
He also BLAMED Abbott’s hateful rhetoric for causing the shooting in the first place.
“Nobody is illegal in heaven ‘dear’ governor! Nobody!” Andres wrote.
“And in life at the most are just undocumented! You speak with hate about immigrants, and that rhetoric is what may have created this situation in the first place. Show some empathy…that’s what good leaders do.”
The comments came after Abbott announced a $50K reward for info who killed 5 Texas immigrants but disgustingly referred to the murder victims as “illegal.”
Gregg Abbott is a sick man for seeking to minimize those murdered by insane gun violence he perpetuates.
Thank you Chef Andrés for calling Gregg Abbott out for being the disgusting human being he is! 💙
25 year old Sonia Argentina Guzman confronted the gunman after the family had called 911 FIVE times and he showed up at their door with an AR-15.
He shot and killed her, her 8 year old son Daniel, and then went room to room, killing three others in the house.

BREAKING: Donald Trump is humiliated as a leaked tape emerges of him completely freaking out on a reporter aboard his plane after a campaign rally in Waco. NBC News' Vaughn Hillary mentioned that Trump was "frustrated" with Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's investigation.
"Don't ask me any more questions!" Trump lashed out.
"I don't want to talk to you," Trump said when questioned again. “Do you hear me? You’re not a nice guy."
The journalist refused to abandon the line of questioning and Trump finally lost it, grabbed the man's two phones, and hurled them aside.
“Alright, let’s go, get him out of here. Outta here. Outta here,” Trump said to his aides, at which point they told the reporter that he was "done."
Once again, we see that Donald Trump has the temperament of an angry child. How can anyone think that a "man" like this should be in control of the nuclear button?
Retweet if nothing in this world could ever convince you to vote for Trump!
BREAKING: President Biden roasts himself and Marjorie Taylor Greene at the White House Correspondence dinner.
Cracking a joke about his age, President Biden quipped:
“After all, I believe in the First Amendment, not just because my good friend Jimmy Madison wrote it.”
He then turned the tables.
“I want everyone to have fun tonight, but please be safe.
If you find yourself disoriented or confused you’re either drunk or Marjorie Taylor Greene,” President Biden said to raucous laughter.
Anyone else LOVE President Biden’s sense of humor? 💙
@JoJoFromJerz Maybe one manufacturer of the AR15 will make Dylan Mulvaney a spokesperson for their weapon and send her a pride colored gun. Will the right then freak out and meltdown all their AR15's? I know, I know just hoping.
On May 24, 2022 in Uvalde Texas, an 18 year old walked into Robb Elementary School and shot and killed 19 children and 2 adults.
Two days ago in Houston Texas, a man paused his dinner date to shoot and kill a fake parking attendant.
Last night in Cleveland Texas, 5 members of a family (including an 8 year old child) were shot and killed by their neighbor after they asked him to stop firing his gun on his front lawn so their baby could sleep.
So when Republican lawmakers in a state where it’s easier to get AR-15s than books about Black history say their abortion ban is about being “pro-life”…
They’re full of shit.
