"GOP ready for National Strip Conference"
From Russia Today
"RT (formerly Russia Today or Rossiya Segodnya) (Russian: Россия Сегодня)[9] is a Russian state-controlled[1] international news television network funded by the Russian government.[16][17] It operates pay television and free-to-air channels directed to audiences outside of Russia, as well as providing Internet content in Russian, English, Spanish, French, German and Arabic.
RT is a brand of TV-Novosti, an autonomous non-profit organization founded by the Russian state-owned news agency RIA Novosti in April 2005.[8][18] During the economic crisis in December 2008, the Russian government, headed by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, included ANO "TV-Novosti" on its list of core organizations of strategic importance to Russia.[19][20][21] RT operates as a multilingual service with channels in five languages: the original English-language channel was launched in 2005, the Arabic-language channel in 2007, Spanish in 2009, German in 2014 and French in 2017. RT America (2010–2022),[22][23] RT UK (2014–2022) and other regional channels also produce local content. RT is the parent company of the Ruptly video agency,[5] which owns the Redfish video channel and the Maffick digital media company.[6][7]
RT has regularly been described as a major propaganda outlet for the Russian government and its foreign policy.[2] Academics, fact-checkers, and news reporters (including some current and former RT reporters) have identified RT as a purveyor of disinformation[58] and conspiracy theories.[65] UK media regulator Ofcom has repeatedly found RT to have breached its rules on impartiality, including multiple instances in which RT broadcast "materially misleading" content.[72]
In 2012, RT's editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan compared the channel to the Russian Ministry of Defence.[73] Referring to the Russo-Georgian War, she stated that it was "waging an information war, and with the entire Western world".[17][74] In September 2017, RT America was ordered to register as a foreign agent with the United States Department of Justice under the Foreign Agents Registration Act.[75]
RT was banned in Ukraine in 2014 after Russia's annexation of Crimea;[76] Latvia and Lithuania implemented similar bans in 2020.[77][78] Germany banned RT DE in February 2022.[79] After the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Poland and then the entire European Union as well as Canada announced they were formally banning RT as well, while independent service providers in over 10 countries suspended broadcasts of RT.[80][81][82] Social media websites followed by blocking external links to RT's website and restricting access to RT's content.[83][84] Microsoft removed RT from their app store and de-ranked their search results on Bing,[85][86] while Apple removed the RT app from all countries except for Russia."
From Wikipedia
"What happened to hallowed ground? A new survey from Public Policy Polling shows that Republicans would prefer that a strip club be built near ground zero rather than a mosque. Twenty-one percent of Republicans said they’d be OK with a strip club near the site of the 9/11 attacks, but only 4 percent would accept a mosque. Preferences were flipped on the other side of the aisle, with 49 percent of Democrats supporting a mosque and 33 percent for the strip club. “This shows the extent and impact of the recent rise in anti-Islam rhetoric,” said Ibrahim Hopper, a spokesperson for the Council on American-Islamic Relations."
From The Daily Beast
Whatever happened to the Party of Family Values? It's almost like it's invisible today and damn near to have never have even existed. 20 years ago, then Vice President Dan Quayle publicly attacked Candice Bergen's character on the hit sitcom Murphy Brown, because Murphy was going to have a baby by herself. Meaning she wasn't married, didn't have a boyfriend, and the father of her baby wasn't going to be involved in her child's development once the baby was born.
Go up 20 years today and the Republican Party is now holding their national convention in America's capital of strip clubs and porn, also known as Tampa, Florida (at least to outsiders) and are going to nominate a Mormon, who comes from a religion that says bigamy is not just OK, but it should be encouraged, who really doesn't have any real issues with same-sex-marriage, Massachusetts legalized it when he was Governor, and who was pro-choice on abortion, until he decided that he wanted to run for President at some point, when he was running for Governor of Massachusetts in 2002.
What's the Republican Party's campaign theme going to be in Tampa: we get off on Mitt Romney? No one would believe that because they don't even like the man. We're talking about the father of ObamaCare, for crying out loud.
Maybe the Tampa Republican theme will be: we strip for Mitt Romney. But again that's not believable. I mean the only Republicans who do any stripping whatsoever are their Baptist ministers and they just do that in front of boys.
You have to say (or at least I do) that the Republican Party holding their national party convention, in the strip/porn capital of America, gives new meaning to the word irony. Sort of like Gamblers Anonymous holding their national convention in Las Vegas. It presents a challenge to just be taken seriously.
