White GOP Governor Bros Tell Sunday Shows About All The Abortions They're About To Ban
Bream showed these stats, which suggest Oklahoma's concern for mothers and children essentially ends at the moment of birth:
But once again, Stitt had alternative facts. That, and a Freudian slip:
STITT: Well, I mean, here's the deal. Is the answer to the socialist Democrat left to abort poor kids? I mean, that's just ridiculous to even kind of quote those types of stats.
No one said anything about "aborting poor kids."
George Carlin called out how little anti-abortion conservatives actually care for mothers and children a very long time ago. Some things never change:
Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts on CNN's 'State Of The Union'
On CNN, Dana Bash interviewed Nebraska GOP Gov. Pete Ricketts, who wants to ban abortion completely in Nebraska once Roe v. Wade goes away, with no exemptions for rape or incest. He's got some alternative science about life beginning at "conception." Bash tried to appeal to some sort of non-existent sense of decency:
BASH: Including in the case of rape or incest?
RICKETTS: They're still babies too. Yes, they're still babies.
Once again, we refer you to George Carlin.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi on CNN's "State Of The Union"
On the same show, Bash asked Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi about criticisms of Democratic leadership's failure to see the GOP's long game on abortion. Here's what Pelosi had to say:
PELOSI: Well, I mean, no, I mean, the point is, is, who would have ever suspected that a creature like Donald Trump would become president of the United States, waving a list of judges that he would appoint, therefore, getting the support of the far right, and appointing those anti-just freedom justices to the court? So, this is not about long game. We played a long game. We won Roe v. Wade a long time ago.
Referring to the length of time since Roe was decided is not "playing the long game." The judges Donald Trump nominated would have been the same without Trump, because they were not really picked by Trump. By Pelosi's own admission, the GOP has made its intentions on Roe clear for a long time. They should have been taken seriously.
Democratic leadership needs to stop longing for a "big, strong Republican Party" from yesteryear. Today's conservatism is an existential threat. The GOP is not an opposition party. Hell, just sample a few Wonkette headlines from the last 24 hours, you'll get a pretty good idea of what the GOP is.

Fox News's 'The Five' Had Some Pretty Neat Afternoon Chit-Chat Yesterday
Jesse Watters does a poll of who would share toothbrushes.
Boxwine says "NOT A CHANCE!"
Geraldo says if you're fuckin' why not. Geraldo knows about fuckin' and also oral hygiene.
"Dagen" — the other one, we guess — says sometimes she accidentally uses the toothbrush she uses to clean the tile in the bathroom.
Gutfeld makes a very funny joke about how on "The View" they all put their teeth in the dishwasher. This is why he is such a popular comedy host, jokes like this just come to him.
Boxwine is ranting that she heard on the news that "FOUR MS-13 GANG MEMBERS CROSSED THE BORDER AND TWO CONVICTED CHILD SEX PREDATORS," and lamented that Joe Biden just wants to talk about other things that aren't important, like how MAGA is an extremist movement, and also abortion. "This guy is talkin' about the MAGA king and how bad the world, how bad abortion is, not having it," said Boxwine, slowly forming a full thought on the fly.
Again, because he is the joking one, Greg Getfucked says, "I think the abortion bill is their baby formula," and then he makes this face like "Welp i just told the truth! DEAL WITH IT!"
And literally, off camera, you hear people say "MMMMMM!" like he has just shared a profound thought that means something.
Boxwine says, "You know what, they gotta learn to feed the babies. And not ... the other."
Greg says, "That was my point."
Boxwine says, "Yes."
Take a few moments to reflect on how much more money these people make than you do. Just make that your morning meditation today.
