Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

This loon again? She couldn't get elected in Missouri and then lost a race in Texas. Guess she's trying to go 3 for 3.
It's interesting how she thinks her rights will survive a Christian Nationalist regime.
Fascists are so driven by hatred of others and the quest for power that they can't conceive of their weapons being turned on themselves, as they inevitably will be.
MAGA isn't known for their respect for women. Her campaign is DOA.
Especially when they are brown.
I mean Marjorie, boebert, mace so long as they vote lockstep the women are allowed for now.
LOL, a woman! A hispanic woman! This is like a mouse volunteering to clean a cat’s teeth
Competing to be one of the "good ones"
The amount of Hispanic people who voted for Trump is mindboggling.
Yeah, ICE is right now tackling and rounding up people that don't pass the paper bag test. Does she seriously think she won't be next?
People need to start publicly burning the Bible instead of the flag. That book is the worst made up bullshit
Probably shouldn't be burning anything with a name like Valentina Gomez, she's liable to be deported by her own crew.
Well, human trafficked, but yes.
America is a Christian nation
Um, nope. Definitely not. It was founded quite intentionally as a secular nation. Given this level of willful stupidity, she should be unfit for office on that alone.
There is only one true God, and that is the God of Israel.
She's not saying what she seems to think she is saying. So this stupid fucking dingbat doesn't even know that the god of Israel is the same god xtians, Jews and Muslims all worship, AKA, Allah, Yahweh, Jehovah?
How fucking stupid. I'm guessing she doesn't know what Abrahamic religion [1] means?
[1] By the way, I found it hilarious when some delusional Nat-C on the Denver Post forums would constantly declare, apropos of zero evidence, that no such thing even existed, LOL. Which must be news to billions of other adherents to, uh, Abrahamic religions. I kept telling him he should go spread this supposed wisdom to others. It's hilarious how xtians especially balk at the fact that xtianity is a Jewish heresy and Islam also bolted their tradition onto xtianity/Judaism in much the same way. Islam actually venerates Christ, in fact.
You can say Christian, it's ok the word won't hurt you
Seriously can we leave the TryHard New Atheism bullshit back on Reddit?
Did anyone say it would?
2004 called it wants its insane grievance back
Burning Qurans - cool
Burning the US flag - soon to be illegal
Got it. Makes bigly sense to me.
It should all be legal! Even my Mohammed Rule34 collection.
Well she is about to be deported. How stupid can she be, and just want to say it be the one ice raid I watch.
Didn't some dude in Sweden recently get merc'd for burning a Quran?
And for inciting discrimination and hate towards an already discriminated against and hated minority group, but yeah the Quran thing pissed a lot of people off.
An autistic kid in Britain got death threats for dropping one even.
Didn't she do the same thing last time she ran?
Yeah, she was burning (pro-gay) library books
THEY LIT MY WOKE ON FIRE? THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS
She is doing it wrong!
The correct way to burn Qurans is to pack it interwoven with an equal number of bibles. Then you tear up some Tora's for kindling and a block from the book of mormon as a fire starter.
"I'm a Republican that's why my platform is hate! Want to know more? Go to my website IHateEverythingDifferentThanMe dot com! MAGA!"
That is what Valentina Gomez says as ICE trafficks her to be deported.
Good ol' Jesus flavored white wing extremism
thank you for engaging in the proper disposal of the holy book as recognized by muslims, burning it rather than throwing it in the garbage. it's the latter that is not allowed.
This woman is a GOP red herring. She has no other purpose. We're supposed to be transfixed on her shenanigans as the GOP in office continues legislatively marching in the direction she outlines.
Time to bible burn?
How dare you! That's different! Christian myths are the real ones!
How dare you! The Bible isn’t myths! It’s truths! Just look at this one passage I found that says we should hate the gays and literally no other passages!
I'm against book-burning in general, subject matter aside. In this case, it's just another book of ancient mythology.
This fucking psycho moved to Texas to run???? Missouri didn't work out, so your crazy ass MOVES TO TEXAS?!?!?!
Oh, wait...sounds about right.
Because we need more of this shit...
Now she needs red and white paint and a brush to paint a target on herself.
The term "maga" is just a nonsense baby-talk word. It's just a filler word with no real meaning and no real policies and no real platform. This is just the base of the conservative movement and the Republican Party we are talking about - and truly always has been. The "liberal media" (lol) has always put a paper-thin veneer of respectability over the gibbering madness of the mob that make up the actual Republicans and actual conservatives in this country.
It's about white male xtian cishet supremacy and about kissing Taco's ass because he gives them this permission structure. Everything else - including terms like "freedom", "liberty", the rule of law, small government, fending off a tyrannical government with their 2A (lo-fucking-l), chattering about the Constitution, and yes, "making America great" is just so much bullshit and they don't mean any of it.
