There is just no fucking way orange gives a shit about abortion, access to it, the reasons for it, the people who need it, or provide it. The over/under on abortions he's paid for is like 20 imo. Fuck him forever.
Listen, if you allow women to have abortions, they will have too much time on their hands, will probably get all uppity and read stuff and think on their own. Plus where will you get the necessary 15 or so kids that we will need to just meet replacement rates for our population with childhood diseases being brought back by MAHA????
It’s hard for me to understand why abortion is such a political issue. I mean, if you oppose abortion, you oppose it for moral/religious/ethical reasons, right? So why isn’t that opposition more evenly spread across the political spectrum? It couldn’t be that the GOP has made it a dog whistle, as well as a purity test, could it?!?
Although to be fair, it’s something of a purity test for Dems as well… So I guess it swings both ways.
The numbers are very persuasive, though I'd be interested to know how they determine who is and isn't a "persuadable voter." Maybe with a question like, "if trump was going to bomb your family to make murica great again, would you still vote for him?"
None of these polls mean anything if they don’t translate into enough votes to overcome gerrymandering. Roevember never came last year because not enough people showed up.
Well the people that don't want this are the very people who don't count in American politics. This is by and for the unreconstructed, who have outsized control of the terrain of the country, and just like in their unreconstructed state-based regimes of terror work hard to oppress and hold back progress so they may have supremacy.
To be fair, re-electing the felon assures that you know what you're getting, unlike voting for the person who has never been president. Why take a chance that the ice cream might not taste good when you have a perfectly good pile of dogshit to eat?
I think that's where a lot of us are. For me, the best preparation for the past ten years in this country was the "Paranoia" tabletop role-playing game.
Yeah I'm fucking tired of polls too. People need to show me they're tired with concrete action. Feel-good marching ain't enough. You need to change the levers of power.
The problem is people thinking that expressing their displeasure is the end. You can send a disapproving letter or post on social media and feel that you’ve done something. I was happy to see the No Kings marches, but what did they actually accomplish?
Yep so every last one of them need to make sure their shit is together. You want this to stop? Impeachment+removal-sized Democratic majority in House and Senate. That's the only thing that gets you even a *semblance* of a check on this maladministration.
Honestly, they are doing so little actual fighting, I believe that they want it this way. They don’t seem to care that we’re literally begging them to fight.
"[Ernst] Röhm was known to be homosexual, which Hitler tolerated. Röhm was also known for being a good organizer, a strong leader and having a brutal, unscrupulous manner; all of which served Hitler well politically, before the Nazis obtained national power in 1933.
In June 1934, in preparation for the purge known as the Night of the Long Knives, both Himmler and Reinhard Heydrich, chief of the SS Security Service, assembled a dossier of fabricated evidence to suggest that Röhm had been paid 12 million ℛ︁ℳ︁ (equivalent to €57 million 2021) by the government of France to overthrow Hitler."

Ta, Robyn. This horrid excuse for a bill is going to kill people, mostly women, if it becomes law.

Why I still can’t watch any movie with Susan Sarandon in it.

32% YES
68% MAYBE, BECAUSE PRONOUNS, CHEMTRAILS AND FURRIES
Dude loses yo-yo, news at 11:00 . . .
None of these polls mean anything if they don’t translate into enough votes to overcome gerrymandering. Roevember never came last year because not enough people showed up.
OT: They are doing a good job of explaining the Big Beautiful Class Warfare Bill on MSDNC.
I'll sum it up: "You're all gonna die."
Republican response: we’re all going to die.
I mean, talk about cheap disclaimers (lookin' at YOU, Ernst!)
OT: All the money we get from TARIFFS will pay for the tax cuts!
Your shit on Amazon is going up in price, but at least Bezos will pay lower taxes. A two-fer!
So he can afford the divorce he'll inevitably get in eight months
And military adventurism!
And border boondoggles, I mean security.
WALL!!!111!!11!
THE SPICE MUST FLOW!
Worth a read, not just because onion ninjas, but it actually ties in what's going on in the US:

We're not going to get many more stories like this.
On a similar note, I remember watching a Youtube video with a WWII veteran talking to an Iraq veteran.
Oof... the feels

No one wants this, but enough thought eggs and trans high school athletes were more important.
Plus, “they’re eating the dawgs!”
"Can I eat that dawg?"
I mean really, did the Black lady *actually* work at McDonalds? We prefer a 34-count felon!
To be fair, re-electing the felon assures that you know what you're getting, unlike voting for the person who has never been president. Why take a chance that the ice cream might not taste good when you have a perfectly good pile of dogshit to eat?
I laugh so I don’t cry.

Well, we "know the only reason how she got ahead" according to Fox News.
Funnily enough, they couldn't actually prove that she *didn't* work at McDonalds, but must be lying, because Black woman...
Misoginoir.
Polls, polls, polls. Motherfuckers, if you had shown up at the REAL polls in FUCKING NOVEMBER, we wouldn't be in this mess!
I'm sorry but that's my visceral reaction to all news about how "unpopular" Trump's policies are. I will never get over my disgust.
At this point the only value the polls have for me is the glee I have that the people who voted for him are gonna really fucking suffer. A lot.
I love the smell of schadenfreude in the morning.
Or any time of day, really.

what if it's strongly worded?
Honestly, they are doing so little actual fighting, I believe that they want it this way. They don’t seem to care that we’re literally begging them to fight.
But, but how would we have known that he was going to do all the things he and the Black lady said he would do?
He did say he didn’t know anything about Project 2025 and how could anyone think he’d be lying?
I've read comments from LGBT!+ers who voted for PAB because he had Elton John play at his wedding, so he must be better for gay people, right?
PAB also rented one of his properties to Gadaffi in 2009, so I guess he's better for Muslims, too.

Certainly not the previous 78 years of his life.
Yup. It doesn't matter what someone says they think about an issue to a pollster, what matters is how they vote on it in an actual election.
“Yes, abortion should be legal, but did you see egg prices?”
- majorities in Arizona, Florida, etc., etc.
Agree 100%
Tim Scott says CFPB is only getting their budget cut in half, so why is Liz Warren being so hysterical?
Oh wow I was wondering where Senator Mushmouth was (okay no I wasn't) but nice that he pops up now!
he was the 40 year old virgin, right?
Tim Scott! Is he still alive? Remember when he was groveling for a VP nomination? I do. STFU, pathetic asshole.
Is he the one with the Canadian girlfriend? Or am I thinking about some other Idiot?
He got married when Donnie was looking for a veep. He didn’t even get a Cabinet post. :(
If you’re one of those conservatives, of course you still have your Canadian girlfriend.
And they will handily deny your existence.
He’s a moron. My cousin’s wife is a CFPB executive. The agency is self-funding.

She is the dictionary definition of a "ladder puller."
Not even that ... SHE doesn't want to abide by the very rules & law she is voting for. Privilege at the most egregious.
Well she’s lucky she’s a Republican else there might be some accountability for that!
I'm also betting that she cannot wait until she is 65 so that she can collect benefits she is philosophically opposed to.
