The question needs to be asked, repeatedly: Why do Republicans want to inspect children's genitals?

It’s sick. So, so sick. But that’s what Republicans are all about these days: inspecting children’s genitals. It’s pretty much all they talk about—when they’re not talking about Mr. Potato Head. And his starchy, androgynous genitalia. They’re so into it, in fact, they’ve passed bills that would allow them to scrutinize any...

'Trump has never actually been wrong': The MAGA cult has eaten the Republican Party

Minerva @ Midnight: tragedy versus cynicism because Tucker Carlson calls mask-wearing child abuse

Peak cynicism has arrived. Tucker Carlson pimps a version of the nanny-state with more police confrontations because he thinks cops should stop children from wearing masks by enforcing child abuse laws. Apparently making a child wear a mask is like punching them in the face or the equivalent of exhibitionism....
