“Republican Representative David Eastman, a state Representative in Alaska, made waves this week when he said during a hearing that children who die from child abuse are actually serving a BENEFIT to society because that’s one less person that’ll be on government assistance. This is the most callous and cruel statement we’ve come across in a long time, but it perfectly shows what Republicans think of their fellow human beings. Farron Cousins discusses this.

Throughout the years at, uh, ring of Fire and of course here at Fair and Balanced, I’ve had to cover some pretty gross stories. I, I’ve covered stories that honestly, while talking about them have nearly brought me to tears. But I think this story, I’m about to tell you right now about this state representative up in Alaska. This is definitely top five of the most disgusting stories I’ve ever had to talk about. You have Alaskan State representative David Eastman, Republican, of course, I didn’t even need to say that. Like you probably could already tell that who this week said that sometimes children dying of child abuse, hey, that’s actually a pretty good thing for us. You know, one less person on welfare. Let me read you his exact statement word for word of what Alaskan state representative David Eastman had to say in the case where child abuse is fatal, obviously it’s not good for the child, but it’s actually a benefit to society because there aren’t needs for government services and whatnot over the whole course of that child’s life.
So if you’re gonna beat a child, I guess Mr. Eastman, what, what does he think that it’s best? You just go ahead and beat him to death all the way so that you don’t leave them somehow crippled and then, oh God, the government’s gotta pay for it. If only you would’ve just finished the job, then this person wouldn’t be on public assistance and we’d have an extra 200 bucks a month. That is one of the sickest statements I’ve ever read. And it gets worse because he was actually given an opportunity to hold the hell up, dude, are you sure you wanna say this? Um, he was asked by his colleagues like, did you really just say that it’s to the benefit of society if a child that’s being abused gets killed, and he said, I’m talking dollars. It gets argued periodically that it’s actually a cost savings because that child is not going to need any of those government services that they might otherwise be entitled to receive and need based on growing up in this type of environment.
So you double down on it, they gave you the chance like, Hey, you just said it’s totally cool if, if a kid gets killed because then we don’t have to pay for it. You really wanna go with that? And he’s like, oh, absolutely. Oh yeah, yeah, because then we don’t have to pay for anything if the kid’s dead. Well, I mean, it’s bad for the kid. He says, of course, I mean, poor kid. But we don’t have to do a thing about it, you know, because obviously anyone who’s the victim of child abuse, like they’re totally always 100% of the time going to end up on government assistance later in life. So not only have you said you’re cool with kids dying, uh, bad for the kid, good for the country, but you’re also
Stereotyping every single victim of abuse saying you will never make anything out of your life. You are destined to become a failure and repeat the cycle of abuse on and on forever and ever and ever. David Eastman, representative from the state of Alaska, don’t forget that name. I want you to remember that name until you see in the headline state representative David Eastman, Republican from Alaska resigns in disgrace because that’s what needs to happen. Now, people of Alaska take a good hard look at yourselves and ask yourselves, is this the kind of person you want representing you Republicans across the country? Take a look at yourself and ask yourself, is this the kind of person you want representing you? I mean, hell, y’all have made a big stink about protecting the lives of children for so long. But then when it comes down to it, every now and then, one of you accidentally lets the truth slip out that we don’t give a about dead children because it’s actually a benefit to society, to hell with each and every one of you.
“Donald Trump can almost feel the walls closing in on him, so he’s launching a new talking point to try to remain ahead of the curve. The new talking point – which is completely false – is that Democrats are somehow trying to “steal” the 2024 election by prosecuting him, even though he isn’t technically being prosecuted right now. There’s a very good reason why Trump is trying to make this claim right now, as Farron Cousins explains.
*This transcript was auto-generated. Please excuse any typos.
Donald Trump is out there this week, folks trying to go ahead and convince you that when he loses in 2024, it’s totally not his fault. It’s the fault of those darned liberal Democrat prosecutors who he said in a post on truth social are somehow already conspiring to, uh, steal the 2024 election for the Democratic Party. Here’s what he said. Crooked Democrat prosecutors, many of them racist in reverse, are trying to steal a second presidential election. They did it in 2020 and we’re not going to let them do it again in 2024. Maga.
Now, that’s weird. I don’t, I don’t need to say that. Like, I know you’re watching this, so you already know, like, yes, that is weird. Thank you for stating the obvious. I get it, but that’s just my kind of knee jerk reaction. Like, that’s very weird. I wonder why suddenly you’re like those darn Democrat, crooked prosecutors racist in reverse. Like, what, what sparked all this? Could it be what’s happening in the state of Georgia? Are you that terrified of getting indicted? I mean, we know your lawyers have been out there all over the place attacking that, uh, you know, kind of kooky juror who’s been out in the media the last week, definitely not doing the prosecution any favors, but claiming that they’re gonna steal the 2024 election. These prosecutors are gonna steal the election. They did it before. He said now, which is weird because I was unaware that prosecutors in any way, shape or form were involved in Donald Trump’s 2020 conspiracies.
But I guess he’s had to retroactively go back and rewrite those conspiracy theories in his head about 2020 being stolen. So now he’s added prosecutors to the mix, whereas they didn’t exist before. So, okay, interesting development, right? He’s terrified of being indicted, and that, of course is what he’s talking about. Whether it’s, uh, uh, in, in Georgia, whether it’s at the doj, whether it’s in the state of New York, he’s terrified of being indicted. A lot of different signs right now seem to be pointing in that direction. I’ll believe it when I see it. I’m not making any predictions right now. Uh, the guy’s gotten away with more stuff than any of us could ever imagine. You know, weezled his way outta situations where we all thought, oh, he is going down for sure, and then he easily doesn’t go down. So again, I, I, I don’t think he’ll be indicted, but he seems to think he will be, or at least his lawyers may be telling him, Hey, you need to start grappling with the possibility that you could be indicted.
So what he’s trying to do with this post, that makes absolutely no sense, but what he’s trying to do is go ahead and craft that narrative, right? So the only reason I would be indicted is because they’re trying to steal the election. You know, it’s not, definitely not because I’ve ever broken any laws. Oh God, no. That never happened, folks. It’s only because they fear me as a leader. They fear me as a political opponent. So they’re gonna do whatever they can to go after me. He is prepping his audience now for indictments, should they come in the future. Now, he did a similar thing, of course, with the Mueller investigation, and we all know how that turned out for Trump. So, you know, this is all a preemptive thing. I don’t think it really tells us one way or another, to be honest with you, whether he thinks he’ll be indicted.
He’s trying to play it safe. And just in the off chance he does get indicted, he’s already now laid the groundwork with his idiotic base that any indictment isn’t real. It’s just an attempt to steal the next election from him like those bastards did in 2020. Now, you got your butt handed to you in the 2020 election because people rejected you, mostly because of the pandemic that you so grossly mishandled. If you lose again in 2024, assuming you even make it past the primaries and uh, caucuses, it’s because voters still hate you. It’s not because of the prosecutors. It’s it’s not because of anyone other than yourself. Nobody is stealing any election. The voters are just telling you they don’t want you back.
“Ryan and Saagar react to Nina Turner bodying a CNN panel over liberals attacking Ohio residents for being Trump supporters in the aftermath of the Ohio train derailment.”
“Dilbert comic strip creator Scott Adams has had it up to here with black people, especially after all he’s done for them. So now, in light of a Rasmussen poll he’s misread to suggest that a majority of black people don’t believe “it’s OK” to be white, Adams is announcing he’s washing his hands of black people and recommending that his fellow white people do the same.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger marvel at Adams’ bewilderingly but hilarious racism and whether he was, for some reason, intentionally sabotaging his own career.”
I haven’t seen this much before now…
…This guy is a racist…and dumber than a rock…
…And Dilbert has always sucked, just for the record…just like most Sunday newspaper comics.
Yes…that actually is racism there.
It’s one thing to say “get away from people who are abusive towards you”…It’s a whole other thing, to tie such behavior to an entire race.
…Just proves you can figure out how to become wealthy, and still not be all that smart.
“Tucker Carlson has been the rare media commentator to mention that there is substantial evidence the United States was behind the Nord Stream pipeline bombing. He even brought on Jimmy Dore to talk about it — something that blew the minds of other mainstream media outlets like Mediaite, which published a piece smearing Jimmy as a conspiracy theorist while neglecting to refute a single point he made.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss whether the Mediaite story was actually written by a sympathetic reporter.”
This always seemed like a likely probability…Thing is, it’s so specific that you’re not really justified in saying it’s true, without solid evidence…evidence virtually all of us have lacked.
