BIG CUP: THE WEEK’S TOP STORIES

First the good news: the January 6th Commission finally began public hearings, available to everyone but Fox viewers. More adults across all ethic groups identify as LGBT, and Rebel Wilson found true love with her very own ‘Disney Princess.’ So sweet.

The Free Dystopia of Florida continued its assault on transgender people, seeking to deny Medicaid coverage for life-saving and medically accepted treatments. Texas state representative Bryan Slaton joined the lone star freakshow by demanding a ban on kids at drag shows, with parents losing their parental rights if they take little Suzie to see her favorite Guncle Brad doing Liza in her prime. Haters gonna hate, hate, hate, and hate some more.

Lastly, in a collapsing American empire that has no bottom, feral pigs live to be shot another day by farmers with AR-15s. No comment yet on feral children.
