Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), who is currently running for governor of Alabama, went on a 20-minute, lie-filled rant on the Senate floor accusing trans people of being violent and “deranged” and proposing that the United States bring back mental institutions to house them.

Tuberville claimed there is a “rise in violence coming from people who the left refers to as transgender.”

      That only works when the media isn’t consolidated and owned by said ruling class.

      I think we don’t give enough consideration to just how comprehensively failure to enforce antitrust law has destroyed our entire society.
