They sent a legal threat to Target for selling "obscene matter" because, in part, the store sold a T-shirt with a drag queen on it...

    All I see with all of these lawsuits by red state AGs is the millions of dollars wasted that could have been used to actually help people in need.

      They’d never do that; it’s against their religion.

    I don’t use this word often, but I’m going to now.

    Heinous.

    These motherfuckers always seem to be concerned with what someone else is doing, like it’s any of their fucking business.

      I liked it better when these rich pieces of shit used bread and circuses to distract the poor from rising up and cutting their heads off instead of this tiring busy-body culture war bullshit.

    I think if they actually took target to court I imagine it would be shut down pretty quickly, like the cases of trying to ban drag shows (even in very conservative states) … at least I hope so.

    It is delusional posturing for delusional voters. When you’re complaining about rainbows on baby products, I mean - what design would they prefer on baby stuff?

      Some kind of forced child marriage theme I imagine, which really amounts to Republican-endorsed legal child rape. So whips and chains, that sort of thing. Alternately, some kind of child labor theme, since these monsters are trying to bring that back too. Coal and pick-axes for your darling toddler. Better they get used to those as soon as possible…

      You would think so, but I’m not so sure that we are a country of laws anymore.

    When your supposed “boycott” doesn’t work and you have to resort to banging on pots and pans for attention like a child.
