It's only a mandate when your side wins, I think he means. And if it had won by more than let's say 10 points, they'd be hollering about fraud, not conceding it showed a mandate.
I can only assume that it's the lead contamination that has gotten into so many people in this state that they keep voting for these assholes. They have tried this tactic with a variety of voter-passed initiatives. I weep for my state and my dumbass, brain-dead, fellow Missourians who just can't stop stepping on their own dicks.
Ta, Robyn. For the assholes in the back: If life begins at conception, than your almighty Gawd is the biggest, baddest abortionist in the Universe. Between 37% and 50% of ALL first trimester pregnancies end in miscarriage, a/k/a spontaneous ABORTION. That's to say nothing of second trimester miscarriages.
If we're going to get all religious about this, I prefer the Jewish concept. Life begins with the first breath.
As someone who lives in Missouri, it is eternally frustrating to have right-wing Repuglicans in charge of every effin' statewide elected position and controlling both houses of the legislature. Fuck them.
I heard several people discussing that they felt safe voting for a Republican because the amendment would protect abortion while I was waiting line to vote.
Yeah....that's when I decided I needed the big bottle of gin for election night.
What about the forgotten sperm and ova? They may have yet to meet but aren’t they aspirational fetuses? Shouldn’t there be laws to protect them? Shouldn’t men be prosecuted for any sex that does not result in conception? And surely menstruation is at least a grey (color?) area? The Old Testament has things to say about both of these activities. Christian scientists should do the research and take a stand on these abominations.
The Missouri legislature did exactly the same thing after voters approved a very specific riverboat gambling proposition in 1994. It authorized riverboat gambling excursions on the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers with a $500 maximum loss limit per person per excursion. The boats had to actually leave the banks for timed excursions on the rivers. But over the years the legislature has repeatedly amended this to the point that there are now casinos which are NOT on riverboats and are NOT on the Mississippi and Missouri rivers and do NOT have timed excursions - they are built on artificial lakes adjacent to the rivers, which is NOT what we voted for or against back in 1994.
I worked on a job at one of those casinos. Mississippi River water was pumped up a huge incline and filled a giant concrete basin under the casino floor. The casino actually floated on that water. The rest of the resort was built on a foundation.
I was just talking about this last night. And Missouri specifically; how do you vote for the right to bodily autonomy and also for Josh Hawley who hate bodily autonomy. I was wondering if maybe people were just skipping part of the ballots or what. North Carolina is another weird one: voted for Trump, but then for a Democrat Governor, but then gave their house & senate a Republican super majority? What is the point of that????
Again! Missourians did it again! We keep doing this: voting for progressive laws and then voting for Republicans. It’s fucking insanity.
In summary, FAFO.

They're setting up the grounds for the clone wars early, I see.
