even so, I'd hate to disappoint her by not disappointing her

Have NEVER understood that. It's about having property rights over one's own body - not privacy. Lose those and you ain't got no rights at all.

There is no principle involved here. This has always been a calculated move by R's to pull Evangelicals and Catholics into a coalition with other RWNJ's by use of abortion as a wedge issue.

I agree. The first judge should have refused to hear due to lack of grounds.

reckon she never got the "stay and guard" command, but maybe we need to see what happens when someone opens the gate... could be she's a master at misdirection, just sayin'

It actually seems a lot worse than that:

Schools across the country are dealing with an array of urgent challenges this year, and Central Bucks, one of the largest and wealthiest districts in Pennsylvania, is no exception. In nearly two dozen interviews, school workers described shortages everywhere, from bus drivers to substitute teachers to support staff to milk. [emphasis added] Nurses are overwhelmed with the demands of contact tracing from Covid-19 cases and paperwork for hundreds of requested exemptions from a school mask requirement. ...And with the ranks of classroom support staff worryingly thin, everyone talks of an alarming crisis in student mental health, a concern already serious before the disruptions of Covid-19. Behavioral problems have mushroomed, there have been suicides and attempted suicides, and a huge share of students seem to have become disconnected, at a loss when asked to do things as simple as gather into groups.... The disputes at school board meetings, though still framed as disagreements over what is best for students, have grown into a virtually self-perpetuating conflict, with parents rising to decry their opponents’ posts on social media or list the insults that have been directed their way. ... Board meetings grew long and raucous; neighbors who were once friendly became committed foes, death threats were issued, and harassment spread to board members and even to their families. By the summer, police officers were at the school board meetings. A rally before one meeting was canceled when alarms went up about the possible presence of a militia.

He's been accused in the past, but the accusers were death-threated into silence.

I'm torn between Jon McNaughton and Ben Garrison.

Interesting. She had some pretty gross details in her testimony yesterday about Epstein and Maxwell and what THEY did to her.

It's not just that. The entire "teen beauty pageant" and much of the "teen modelling" industry was/is a front for sex trafficking and various other shenanigans.

There was an article about TFG's friend at Elite Modelling who made no bones about dating a 16 year old, and was very open about it.

I just found it: https://www.dailykos.com/st...

It's fucking gross.
