OT:

Birb came back! From A! Visit to the liberry. And a couple of shops.

I took an Uber back. My Mom had to go to the doctor. She texted me back. She is o-kaye. :)

There’s a very simple solution: the Lysistrata strategy. Stop sleeping with the monsters!

Not every woman can be convinced. There are a lot of little knotheads among women who believe this shit against their own self-interest.

The whining may finish off my hearing.

OT: OMG, what fresh hell is this?

Trump is carrying on on his shitsite about "teen takeovers" in Chicago. Hmmm...wonder why they never decry *white* teen "takeovers"?

I think it's more made-up fucking bullshit. More things for those with overenlarged amygdalae to pule and scare themselves shitless about.

pathetic slimeballs.

Is Chicago that much fun?

EyeQueue's avatar

I haven't spent much time there. :( Usually only in transit to somewhere else. I need to plan a proper visit.

I feel like I'm living in the simulation. :(

Apollyon Danish's avatar

Are teen takeovers like flash mobs? Do I even care?

EyeQueue's avatar

I have no clue. Probably more pearl clutching.

And why can't cops come by and say, "Having a good time, kids? Let's stay safe, everybody. We're going to block off a few streets here. And it's really late, time for you to start heading home. Safely."

Nope. They have to try to "control the situation," which is already an impossible goal. And they have to use violence and intimidation, because those are the only tools they seem to have.

Never mind that somebody decided to drive their car into the crowd because the cops don't seem to have blocked off the street, like anyone with any sense would have done first.

EyeQueue's avatar

This. And do they do the same in white affluent areas? There were some ragers in Davis and I don't recall seeing cops flocking out like this for whities.

EyeQueue's avatar

TAKEOVER!!!!!!!! XD XD XD XD XD

Thank you for the article.

That sadopopulism is a motherfucker innit?

Have babies, ladies—this is what you and your children have to look forward to!

Apollyon Danish's avatar

Are babies going to be the currency in the upcoming water wars? If not, then grab an aspirin and hold it between your knees, ladies!

Uh. I know it's hard with all the daily Trumpshit going down but exactly where on the crazy scale does this go?

He's not wrestling them, he's just subduing them so he can fix up some snake "toothpicks!"

The North Carolina Divorce — “She said she was leaving to get an abortion.”

A taste of Trump's brave new world.

The Secretary of State shows up and no one even performatively gives a fuck.

SethTriggs's avatar

Makes sense, he doesn't even give a fuck about himself. Why bother listening to him? I mean listening to him rattle around in his ill-fitting Florsheims is amusing at least.

SkeptiKC's avatar

It is DAMNED gratifying to witness these manipulative malcontents treated with the same callous disregard they demonstrate to everyone else.

$3 gas. The check is in the mail. Bigfoot is real.

Prometheus59650's avatar

He's an idiot.

You're never seeing $3 again. Ever.

Because, by the time this is all over $4.50 will be baked into the economy.

Our_Man_In_Redneckistan's avatar

…who enabled this, until they didn’t.

Prometheus59650's avatar

I'm glad to have any voice that wants to help.

But the people of The Lincoln Project helped build this and they've been given a pass.

Every interview until they die should open with telling viewers what they've done to get us to the here that they hate so much.

Nancy Naive's avatar

Well, then, shall we test all women for pregnancy before international travel?

Apollyon Danish's avatar

Given all the dangers that lurk outside the home, we should probably require women to be tested for pregnancy anytime they want to leave said home. And given the possibility of gas mains explosions, home invasions, fires, asteroid strikes, homicidal door-to-door vacuum salesmen and bathtub drownings, we should also probably require women to be tested for pregnancy anytime they are released from their security cellars.

Apollyon Danish's avatar

As a man, I have to say that I am glad that women are not so concerned about me making my own healthcare decisions as some of my fellow men are about women making their own decisions.

Catnmus's avatar

Holy hell! You can bet I just called my representative (previously a Dem, who got the boot in the primary because she jumped to the anti-immigrant ship) and told her that I EXPECT her to vote against this if it comes up for a vote.

Our_Man_In_Redneckistan's avatar

Write her a letter. As someone previously employed in a legislative office, calls from random constituents are ignored. Letters, which show effort, are counted.

Beth K's avatar

I say to all my Republican (and those 2 "unaffiliated" shitwits) representatives in the NC legislature: FUCK YOU and the SLIGHT majorities you rode in on! Most of them are there because of Trump's coattails. Most North Carolinians are not cruel hateful misogynistic idiots, but....some are.

If women can be executed for abortions, then them murdering their rapist is an act of self-defense.

Innocent_Bystander's avatar

Not just rapists; any male that partakes in sinful sex and creates a glob of cells.

PixieThis68's avatar

Masturbatory emissions - every function male would have to go to prison or whatever. More potential humans "die" from male masturbation, if we use their logic.

By the same logic, it would also be legal to kill those trying to kill said abortion seekers to, you know, preserve life.

It’s stunning how Republicans continue to keep pushing for more and more extreme measures after the epic backlash they faced in the wake of overturning Roe…..
