Today:

Tony Messenger @tonymess
The revelation about the $50,000 paid to Al Watkins by @scottfaughn is a much bigger deal (and an unfortunate one) for the reporters working for him @MissouriTimes than it is a game-changer in #GreitensIndictment cases.
4:55 PM – 30 Apr 2018

And, twenty-one minutes later:

Michael Bersin @MBersin
For the record – Show Me Progress https://showmeprogress.com/ does not have $50,000.00 nor do we know anyone with a spare $50,000.00 who would ask us to deliver any checks. Last we looked we had a little over $50.00 in our account. And we intend to keep that. We have bills to pay.

Back to Blue, Cass County, Crystal Quade, Democrats, Hallie Thompson, Jessica Podhola, missouri, Nicole Galloway, organized labor, Proposition A, Renee Hoagenson, right to get paid less, Stephen Webber, working people

Last night the Cass County Democratic Committee held it’s “Red, White and Blue Collar Celebration” Back to Blue dinner in Raymore. Approximately 200 individuals attended – meeting candidates and listening to remarks from featured speakers State Audior Nicole Galloway (D), Representative Crystal Quade (D), and Misouri Democratic Party Chair Stephen Webber.

Working people attended in force – opposition to Proposition A – “Right to get paid less” – was a major theme for the evening.

The republican party led dysfunction in Jefferson City was also a major topic of discussion.

Jessica Podhola (D).

“…Words of wisdom…so, uh, don’t work out with the governor. [laughter] Is that not wise advice? [laughter] Sorry. Um, is it too soon, is it too soon to, to say that…?” – Jessica Podhola

Vote “No” on “Right to get paid less” yard sign.

Renee Hoagenson (D), a candidate in the 4th Congressional District.

Hallie Thompson (D), a candidate in the 4th Congressional District.

State Auditor Nicole Galloway (D).

Representative Crystal Quade (D).

“…[the] dark cloud that currently surrounds Jefferson City is something that none of us could of prepared for. Often people down from where I’m from in Greene County will say to me, you know, it must be really hard to be a Democrat in a super minority. And, um, I like to say back to them, you know, there’s no better time to be a Democrat than right now. [….] Democrats didn’t expect such a mess from the Republicans and from their governor. I can tell you they did not expect us. They didn’t expect a group of legislators who were ready to fight back when they brought terrible bills to the floor…” – Crystal Quade

Missouri Democratic Party Chair Stephen Webber.

“…It’s dangerous to believe that progress is the law of life. Gravity is a law. Gravity is a law of life. Gravity is gonna happen. You drop something, it’s gonna fall. That, that’s gonna happen. Progress isn’t. Progress is not inevitable. Progress is not preordained. Progress is not something that just happens with the passage of time. Progress can be reversed. Progress only happens if somebody makes it happen. And in Missouri that somebody is us… ” – Stephen Webber

General Assembly, marriage, missouri, right wingnut, SCR 54

This past week Ed Emery (r) introduced SCR 54.

SCR 54
Urges the State to enforce, endorse, and recognize marriage as between one man and one woman
Sponsor: Emery
LR Number: 6816S.01I
Fiscal Notes
Committee: Rules, Joint Rules, Resolutions and Ethics
Last Action:4/24/2018 – Referred S Rules, Joint Rules, Resolutions and Ethics Committee
Journal Page: S1035
Title:
Calendar Position:
Effective Date: Upon approval

The text of the resolution:

SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 54 [pdf]

Whereas, parody marriage is any form of marriage that does not involve one man and one woman;
and

Whereas, sexual orientation is a self-asserted sex-based identity narrative that is based on a series of naked assertions and unproven faith-based assumptions that are implicitly religious; and

Whereas, nonsecular policy is state action that endorses, respects, and recognizes the beliefs of a particular religion and where the preeminent and primary force driving the state’s action is not genuine, but is a sham that ultimately has a primary religious objective; and

Whereas, parody marriages and parody marriage policies are nonsecular for the purposes of the Establishment Clause of the United States Constitution; and

Whereas, secular policy is state action that is natural, neutral, noncontroversial, and based on self evident truth, and where the preeminent and primary force driving the policy is genuine, not a sham, and not merely secondary to a religious objective; and

Whereas, marriages between a man and a woman and policies that endorse marriage between a man a woman are secular in nature for purposes of the Establishment Clause of the United States Constitution; and

Whereas, civilizations for millennia have defined marriage as a union between a man and a woman; and

Whereas, marriage between a man and a woman arose out of the nature of things and marriage between a man and a woman is natural, neutral and noncontroversial, unlike parody forms of marriage; and

Whereas, the state of Missouri has a duty under Article VI of the United States Constitution to uphold the United States Constitution; and

Whereas, the First Amendment applies to the state of Missouri through the Fourteenth Amendment; an

Whereas, the First Amendment, not the Fourteenth Amendment, has exclusive jurisdiction over which types of marriages the state can endorse, respect, and recognize; an

Whereas, all forms of parody marriage and self-asserted sex-based identity narratives and sexual orientations that fail to check out the human design are part of the religion of Secular Humanism; and

Whereas, the United States Supreme Court has found that Secular Humanism is a religion for the purpose of the Establishment Clause in Torcaso v. Watkins, 367 U.S. 488 (1961), and Edwards v. Aguillard, 482 U.S. 578 (1987); an

Whereas, the state of Missouri is prohibited from favoring or endorsing religion over nonreligion; an

Whereas, the state of Missouri’s decision to respect, endorse, and recognize parody marriages and sexual orientation policies has excessively entangled the government with the religion of Secular Humanism, failed to accomplish its intended purpose, and created an indefensible legal weapon against nonobservers; and

Whereas, in the wake of Obergefell v. Hodges, 135 S.Ct. 2584 (2015), there has not been a land rush on gay marriage, but there has been a land rush on the persecution of nonobservers by Secular Humanists and an effort by Secular Humanists to infiltrate and indoctrinate minors in public schools to their religious world view, which is questionably moral, plausible, and obscene, and is not secular; and

Whereas, it is unsettled whether or not sexual orientation is immutable or genetic and is therefore a matter of faith; and Whereas, parody marriages have never been a part of American tradition and heritage; and

Whereas, all forms of parody marriage erode community standards of decency and Missouri has a compelling interest to uphold community standards of decency under the Missouri Constitution; and

Whereas, parody marriage policies and sexual orientation statutes are nonsecular and policies that respect, endorse, and recognize a marriage between a man and a woman are secular; and

Whereas, in view of the First Amendment’s Freedom of Expression Clause of the United States Constitution and the Missouri Constitution: (1) Any person living in Missouri can cultivate any self-asserted sex-based identity narrative or self-asserted sexual orientation at will, even if it does not check out with the human design as a matter of self-evident observation; and (2) Any person can conduct any form of marriage ceremony and other rituals that accords with their self-asserted sexual orientation and live as married persons do, as long as the ceremonies do not conflict with other parts of Missouri and federal law:

Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved by the members of the Missouri Senate, Ninety-ninth General Assembly, Second Regular Session, the House of Representatives concurring therein, hereby urge the State of Missouri to no longer respect, endorse, or recognize any form of parody marriage policies because parody marriages are nonsecular; and

Be It Further Resolved that the members of the Missouri General Assembly urge the State of Missouri to no longer enforce, recognize, or respect any policy that treats sexual orientation as a suspect class, because all such statutes lack a secular purpose; and

Be It Further Resolved that the members of the Missouri General Assembly urge the State of Missouri to enforce, endorse, and recognize marriages as between one man and one woman, because such marriage policies are secular, and accomplish nonreligious objectives; and

Be It Further Resolved that the Secretary of the Senate be instructed to prepare a properly inscribed copy of this resolution for the Governor, the Attorney General, and each member of the Missouri Supreme Court.

A favorite clause:

“…there has been a land rush on the persecution of nonobservers by Secular Humanists and an effort by Secular Humanists to infiltrate and indoctrinate minors in public schools to their religious world view, which is questionably moral, plausible, and obscene, and is not secular…”

The secular humanists have also been hiding under your bed, Ed. They used black helicopters to get there.

corruption, Donald Trump, Eric Greitens., Golden Duke Award, political scandals

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch‘s Washington correspondent, Chuck Raasch, occasionally indulges in the tired whinging about the Beltway’s (media) neglect of the good, solid folks in “flyover” country, a complaint we often hear, especially from Beltway journos intent on separating themselves from the herd by pretending to have a special line direct to the long-suffering, salt-of-the-earth folks hiding in the heartland (another tired designation for the center of the country). His latest complaint seems to be that, thanks to Eric Greitens, Missouri’s got an honest-to-god, big-time sex and corruption scandal and isn’t getting any credit for it:

For the record, on the day after a scathing legislative report on Greitens, one co-authored by five Republicans in which Republican Missouri House Speaker Todd Richardson labeled allegations against the Republican governor “very disturbing,” the Washington Post did not mention the report in its paper edition. It did, however, have four stories encompassing 140 column inches and five editorials or opinion columns on the resignation of House Speaker Paul Ryan.

For the record, the WaPo did report on latest in the Greitens brouhaha on the next day’s paper edition, just as they – and, as I can personally attest, numerous other national outlets – have reported regularly on the latest developments in the seemingly endless Greitens saga. (And shoudn’t Raasch be more interested in the digital version of the paper which likely has greater reach?)

If larger, coastal newspapers aren’t saturating their front pages with Greitens naughty behavior, as lamented by Raasch and Helaine Olen, whose WaPo article on the subject Raasch references, one of the reasons is that the practical considerations our Missouri scandal raises are probably of greater interest to the citizens of Missouri who will have to live with the consequences than it is to folks elsewhere. And who would expect anything else?

Of course, there’s also the fact that sex sandals are a dime a dozen lately. When the President of the United States is implicated in paying off porn actresses and Playboy models – and stands accused of eleven (or is it more?) instances of sexual assault, Greitens’ efforts seemed to be, at least until the most recent revelations of abusive behavior, essentially subpar.  Olen speculates that Greitens isn’t getting his due measure of shaming:

… partly because the Trump presidency is a news black hole, sucking up so much of our attention that almost nothing else can break through. But it’s also because the Trump administration, by ratcheting up the bounds of what is acceptable — at least to President Trump — is ensuring that actions that would normally shock all of us fly under the news radar.

As for Greitens’ alleged corruption – isn’t corruption the Republican way of life nowadays?

None of which is to say that newspapers have actually failed to report on the ever more salacious Greitens scandal. The issue is that bad behavior, that of both Greitens and Trump,  doesn’t seem to result in serious outrage, no matter how many folks are reading all the sordid details of life in the political fast lane.

Nor should we ignore the judgemental fingers pointed by various pundits over the past weeks. Ruth Marcus, also of The Washington Post, compared Greitens’ situation to that of the scandal-ridden EPA head, Scott Pruitt – three days before Olen lamented the lack of coverage and four days prior to Raach’s article. Like Olen, Marcus credits Trump’s Little of Circus of Horrors for the lack of consequences, declaring, “that Greitens and Pruitt remain in office, as of this writing, says something — not just about them, but about the degraded state of our politics.” Yep. And about Republicans too – don’t forget the prime enablers.

Finally, if Raasch wants Missouri to get credit for it’s own brand of sordid, he’ll definitely be gratified by the fact that Talking Points Memo has awarded Greitens one of its weekly Golden Duke awards. The Golden Duke, “named for former Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham, is given to a political figure by TPM following an attention-grabbing display of corruption, abuse of power, or risible behavior.” TPM’s editor, Josh Marshall, after detailing Greitens’ offenses, asserts that he deserves the award, because of “his refusal to read the writing on the wall.” He adds:

It’s unclear if Greitens will change his mind and voluntarily step down, be impeached, or attempt to ride out the allegations. But it appears he’ll have to adjust his political ambitions; he will likely have little use for the ericgreitensforpresident.com domain name he registered.

One can only hope.
