Despite spending a lifetime living with this reality, it still seems so fucking wild to me that one of the two major political parties in this country is just entirely peopled with assholes. It's like they have a secret competition amongst themselves to see who is the biggest bag of dicks.

Republican candidate for Missouri Secretary of State Valentina Gomez – who rages at all things “weak and gay”

So much Boomer energy. Too bad it can't be used for anything other than hate.

Valentina Gomez called Griner an "unpatriotic lesbian."

because, according to the MAGAts, the latter is the cause of the former.

Not only is she a piece of shit homophobe, she’s yet another person who watched one season of women’s college basketball, has not paid attention to the WNBA at all, and is suddenly an expert on the players in the WNBA.

I saw a comment on that bastion of reasonable well thought out dialogue, Yahoo, that asserted if Caitlyn Clark were black, she'd be on the team.

To this I questioned where on the roster Angel Reese resides.

The US team is on a streak of what, seven or eight gold medals? I'll leave it to their organizers as to whom they would like to play.

It’s weird to call Brittney Griner “weak and gay” when she’s clearly very strong and gay.

Also, basically no rookie should be on the Olympic Squad. For one thing, the Team USA minicamp (or whatever it’s called) is during the NCAA Tournament so they miss that. Then, because the calendars aren’t aligned, they get basically no off-season to recover before the WNBA season starts. She probably doesn’t need another tournament to play in in 2024.

Caitlin Clark is better off being a rookie, learning to play physical basketball against grown ass women, and making her Olympic debut at the Los Angeles games. Every conservative dipshit can cry tears of pure racist joy when she wins a gold medal against France or whomever.

This is probably an unpopular take but I still feel like trading "The Lord of War" international arms dealer for a wnba player feels like we left a lot behind on the table of that particular deal.

Yo bitch your dog whistle is actually just a regular whistle

Yeah, okay. Send an American back to a Russia run by a dictator. The GOP version of "patriotic".

Also, something something lesbian. I think the woman doth protest too much.

100% self hating lesbian.

This is a completely normal position to advocate. /s

I think I have to say this carefully.

As a member of two protected DEI classes, Ms Gomez may want to go lightly on the "those people" talk.

I hope she realizes her status now is only after a hard-fought battle that is still going on, and she's on the wrong side.

No taksie backsie

Russia, probably

That underbite though, what a mouth breather lol
