Moral of the story. There are places in the US where you should not get sick or pregnant. I swear I am going to go to mortuary school or sell caskets. Death is the only thing the Republicans haven't addressed as ungodly, that and automatic weapons.

Ta, CD. I was visiting one of my best friends in Mission SD. The ex and I went to an "event wedding" at a dude ranch on Flathead Lake in Montana. When he asked if I wanted to go, I said I did, provided we could visit "the neighborhood." We went to Glacier National Park (he knew I wanted to see glaciers before they all disappear), entered Yellowstone through the Gardiner Gate (original entrance), visited Jewel Cave, Wind Cave, Ten Sleep Canyon, The Bear Lodge (Devil's Tower), Custer State Park (great bison herd), Deadwood, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial (still under construction), and then my friends adjacent to the Rosebud Rez. My friend asked if we'd mind driving to Nebraska to pick up the carton of avocados she had ordered, and while in Nebraska we visited Ft. Niobrara Wildlife Refuge. It was lovely.

All that said, it's high time these RWNJ states join the rest of us in the 21st Century. Abortion care is healthcare, and trans rights are human rights. WTF are they doing? What does it profit them?

Snark aside, Biden isn't actually needed to fix the Nebraska courts. As in most states, Nebraska justices will eventually have to face the voters, a provision that should have and would have been included in the Federal constitution if the Founding Fathers weren't so fucking "wise."

Eat them alive in November with their "Trump inspired abortion bans."

Another example of what conservatives mean by "originalism": any original interpretation that advances Republican goals is OK.

Nebraska has been working on killing trans-kids for a while now.

having said that, combining anti-abortion and anti-trans legislations just makes harassment and control this much easier.

Unreconstructed states doing unreconstructed state things, ruled by an unreconstructed party. Do what you can, freedom-seeking Nebraskans, to defeat the Republicans wherever they appear on the ballot.

I'm starting to think that there should be a federal government that has laws which apply to everyone regardless of which state they live in. No, wait, hear me out!! We could call it the United States and if something is legal under federal law, it would be legal in all of the states too!!

Ideally that would happen with the Supremacy clause, but in practice there's very weak federalism and that's by design. It also was instrumental in allowing the slave states to hold back the country so much.

But it's also why cannabis legalization is a thing.

It is...for now, because as we all know, "states rights" are only sacrosanct for discriminatory purposes!

One last Nebraska anecdote: after my father-in-law died, their kids decided their mother needed to move to town, as mountain lions had moved into the river valley near the house where they had lived. They settled on a house in a nearby town with a Nebraska "Go Big Red" toilet seat that we all thought was unintentionally hilarious.

If you have to "Go Big Red," you should probably see a doctor as soon as possible.

Is there a single Republican who isn't an enemy of the state?

No, both single and married Republicans are state enemies.

This left me deeply confused. Clearly, that was Bugs Bunny, but the animation style was much more Hanna-Barbera.

What can we say guys, Conservatives are "weird"

We should be questioning them and treating them like the *weirdos* they are by being so involved in people's lives that have zero effect on themselves. Especially the men who can't get pregnant being absolute rat fuckers deciding on WOMEN'S Healthcare
