I usually don’t respond to a news story with this much vitriol, but these fuckin’ “Christian” red states that are so fucking sure of themselves – you know – the welfare states that couldn’t make it without all that Illinois money, are full of inbred idiots. Simply driving through the State of Tennessee once (I never will again) convinced me that I would NEVER live there. And the contrast between the pious political posture and the sheer institutional rot lays the whole thing bare.
The fiscal hypocrisy has always been obscene. Donor states like Illinois, New York, and California continuously float billions in federal tax revenue down to states like Tennessee, Mississippi, and Kentucky so they can brag about having no state income tax, preach small-government “independence,” and underfund their public infrastructure.
Then they strut around acting like self-made economic miracles while quietly living on federal welfare checks subsidized by the very Northern states they love to flip the bird at. And when that culture of performative piety collides with actual governance, you get horrific spectacles like last night’s peep show.
To pump two full doses of lethal drugs into a human being, watch her continue to snore, close the witness blinds, kick out the press, and have to call an ambulance because the department can’t even follow basic chemistry or medical competency—it’s pure banana-republic ineptitude.
Tennessee has spent years fighting legal battles to claim their revised lethal injection protocol was foolproof, yet they couldn’t even pull off what’s supposed to be the most sober, tightly regulated power a state government possesses.
And that fucking self-righteous is what makes it so galling. They wrap themselves in the cross and the flag, lecture the rest of the country on morality, and then run state agencies that couldn’t manage a two-car funeral without causing a pileup.
Fucking idiots!
