Does Miss Lindsey ever keep his Trump butt brown nose out of other people's business? He got his man boobs in a wringer after the 2020 election when he tried to convince the Georgia officials in charge of their election certification to ratfuck the Democrats then. What a piece of shit. Full stop.
No. Not ever. Trump has cucked Miss Lindsey. Oddly, not much from him about Mr. Robinson's (un)ethical behavior. Robinson is a Trumper. Say nothing Lindsey, say nothing. How about all the Evangelicals in NC? Not a peep.
When I was seventeen and pregnant I did a little experiment. I purchased a cheap, faux wedding band and put it on while I was out and about on daily errands. I was treated respectfully and addressed as "Missus".
On another day I'd leave that cheap ring off and go about many of the same sort of activities. But the reception I received from strangers was entirely different; I was regarded at a distance and the whispers were all too audible.
Suffice to say my experiment proved what we all already know.
That is because they were treating you like criminals.
And now we know where the money is: not only are they getting stipends from the state to house these wayward women, they are getting their food stamps.
This is not about abortion policy. But it is about the criminalization of being a woman.
Amari Marsh had a miscarriage in her second trimester. She was charged by South Carolina with murder/homicide by child abuse, law enforcement records show. She spent 22 days at the Orangeburg-Calhoun Regional Detention Center, where she was initially held without bond, facing 20 years to life in prison. This August, 13 months after she was released from jail to house arrest with an ankle monitor, Marsh was cleared by a grand jury. Her case will not proceed to trial.
Amari Marsh had just finished her junior year at South Carolina State University in May 2023 when she received a text message from a law enforcement officer.
“Sorry it has taken this long for paperwork to come back,” the officer wrote. “But I finally have the final report, and wanted to see if you and your boyfriend could meet me Wednesday afternoon for a follow up?”
Marsh understood that the report was related to a pregnancy loss she’d experienced that March, she said.
WHY WAS THERE EVEN A GODDAMNED INVESTIGATION ON THIS.
Did you see that she had been in and out of the hospital b/c they refused to treat her miscarriage? Yeah, that was the anti-abortion law. If she had just been admitted until the whole thing was over there would never have been an investigation, but no. She and her boyfriend called 911 looking for medical help because she was bleeding profusely AFTER being sent home for the second time (or was it the third? I think the second), and so there was a 911 record and so they investigated.
Fuckers.
They should have just provided her the goddamned medical care.
And ... way to make your policies and politicians visible to all the woman voters in South Carolina. Not rape, not a hoor ... just a normal pregnancy can turn a woman into a murderer. This is unspeakably fucked up.
Yep. Abortion Every Day has been covering this in a more ongoing way, and Wonkette did a thing a while back, though I think only one. Robyn's going to be very, very happy. I 'spect we'll get a Robyn NiceTimes post on it soon.
Representative Anthony D’Esposito, a New York Republican, gave part-time jobs to both his lover and his fiancée’s daughter, in possible violation of House ethics rules
...Shortly after taking the oath of office, the first-term congressman hired his longtime fiancée’s daughter to work as a special assistant in his district office, eventually bumping her salary to about $3,800 a month, payroll records show.
In April, Mr. D’Esposito added someone even closer to him to his payroll: a woman with whom he was having an affair, according to four people familiar with the relationship. The woman, Devin Faas, collected $2,000 a month for a part-time job in the same district office.
Payments to both women stopped abruptly several months later, in July 2023, records show, around the time that Mr. D’Esposito’s fiancée found out about his relationship with Ms. Faas and briefly broke up with him, according to the four people...
Nope. That is a solid 'BIBLICAL' relationship. A wifey, a side-piece and a younger woman to balance it out. There is nothing in the Bible that finds that reprehensible.
Also Payments to both women stopped abruptly several months later, in July 2023, records show, around the time that Mr. D’Esposito’s fiancée found out about his relationship with Ms. Faas and briefly broke up with him, according to the four people...
Was he also...with the daughter? You would think the fiancee would be ok with him paying her daughter for a job...
The quoted passage did not directly suggest that he was having an affair with his "his longtime fiancée’s daughter". He hired her first, and then some time later he hired a different woman "even closer to him".
But it would be irresponsible not to speculate that someone who'd hire a sidepiece to be on the same workforce as his future wife's daughter is not above getting some with the daughter as well.
I am a believer in privacy in communications. I hate the nazis and far-right groups who have used Telegram to organize. These kinds of situations are really, really hard to reconcile.
None of our communications on any device or social media are actually private. ALL of those companies are harvesting every word said or typed and either pooling data or outright selling it.
Why do people keep believing autocratic regimes' claims of military superiority? They're always grifters that empower other grifters, which means a military that can look imposing on parade in front of the leader, but never one that lives up the reputation they somehow acquire.

Stabby? No, fuck that. Who here is old enough to have an Anarchist Cookbook?
right???? Talk about stabby
Dear fucking lord. Like I knew about this story, but I guess I missed the part where the cops showed up at the hospital Just Asking Questions
Did you see that she had been in and out of the hospital b/c they refused to treat her miscarriage? Yeah, that was the anti-abortion law. If she had just been admitted until the whole thing was over there would never have been an investigation, but no.

They should have just provided her the goddamned medical care.
That part I remember, and was bad enough. I have the feeling "miscarrying while black" played a large part in the hospital's decisions that week
This is why I'm not even reading the original story.
:k
She gets to sue the fuck out of all those mother fuckers now, right?
I was just thinking she should get ALL of the millions.
I hope so.
If I were a lawyer I'd represent her pro bono and we'd go after the state for defaming the woman's character or something along those lines.
This shit is NOT acceptable.
Notice that it took a grand jury of ordinary citizens to right the scales for her.
The people are NOT going to tolerate this shit.
We said that in 2016 too, and look what we're left dealing with now.
I know it's preaching to the choir here, but...as UncleTriggs says: mount the fuck UP.
