Hope DeSantis noticed how TrumpCo did not even pony up for fucking Arkansas.
Also, WHAR the fucking press interviewing every one of those victims and screaming about how the feds are just leaving them there, like they did with NC last year, even though FEMA was actually fucking there?
I think it was on the CD of Taking Liberties that there's a demo of a song that uses the line from "Lipstick Vogue" that goes, "Don't act like you're above me, just look at your shoes" -- he used it in an earlier song that he ended up completely reworking. It's fun hearing those alternate versions of things he's done.
Yesterday boss man was going through his folder of LAWS and getting rid of what was not material anymore.
There was a lot.
(we tend to be tree killers, it's a fast and ready at your finger tips reference thing. Cause you could be looking up 3 different things on your three different screens and crossing them with 2 or three printed things at the same time. But I digress).
ANYWAY then he had a teams with his peers and because I was in, I got to overhear some of that. Boy oh boy. Ain't good. The folk who were all up in arms about removing statues (that had been erected during the civil rights struggle, but were totally about heritage and not hate. I digress again) seem fine and dandy with removing actual history. Specifically anything to do with black blackity black black black, with women on the side.
If any of you virginians have not yet seen the Museum to army women, down at for Gregg-Adams, you might want to do so sooner rather than later. Cause ain't gonna be no later.
I remember being given a March of Dimes collection thingie, where you were supposed to stick all your dimes in there and then send it off once it was full.
If the baby was already at the point of viability, and if it was developing healthily, and the family wanted it, I could see doing that, as a "we want to let it develop naturally as much as possible before we remove it" kind of thing. It'd be rough on the kid -- "sorry, your mom died before you were born" -- but they'd probably make okay if the family was decent. If it was a couple of weeks away from viability and the family *didn't* want it, I could almost see trying to persuade the family into letting it develop enough to be removed and then given up for adoption. But if they said no, or any of those first conditions were untrue, then no. Sorry, fetal tissue, you're going to die with the rest of your host.
Make America Healthy Again, said by idiots who think men who ate steak every day, smoked three packs a day, and died of a massive heart attack at 49 were the pinnacle of health.
Don't accept their framing of the issue. Deportation is when you send someone back to their home country. Sending someone to a concentration camp in a 3rd country isn't deportation, it's ethnic cleansing.
I hope I live long enough to watch the eventual American version of the Nuremberg trials after all this is over. That's gonna be quite a docket.

My God, Biden could have been in a wheelchair in his second term. Thank goodness we dodged that bullet! Now here’s why I support Gregg Abbot for 2028.
By Jake Tapper
There are Republicans who are *still* pissed off about FDR being President...
Psychopaths walk among us.
Or not, in Abbot’s case.
Ag guy on the local news is saying we need to make China happy because they're not buying grain anymore.
He still hasn't dropped PAB's name.
Wouldn't want to anger the farmers ... they have pitchforks.
Why is China unhappy? It's a complete mystery.
So true.

"The Press" has got what it wants. They're now the well-funded PR department of the CSA. Corporate States of America.
Can't wait til hurricane season 😩
If there's no money to grift he's not interested at all.
So I walk into the federal office building, and the news is showing the stupid Comey 8647 bullshit. I guess it's a slow news day.
The lobby has tvs and the news is on. I forget which, it isn't Fox. That hasn't been hereby ordered. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

uh huh
If they expect me to feel even the tiniest bit of sympathy for James Comey, or come to his defense in any way possible even on an intellectual basis
I just will not do it no sireee
Yeah ... Orangini hasn't been gifted a plane, country, or harem.
yet.
Even I know 86 means to toss out.
The press has no excuse for pretending otherwise
Apparently the right has been selling themselves a whole line of 8646 merchandise for a while now.
oh but that was perfectly innocent! Unlike Comey!
Though I still feel no sympathy for that guy. Oh nos, what a shame, the Leopards ated your face!
I only have bad words for that prick.
Step 1 break it
Step 2 blame Obama
Step 3 pretend to fix or replace it
Step 4 declare genius victory
(step 1b if there's any money in it, pocket it)
Step 0 (from Land Shark) "Can I make money?"
...
Step 3a didn't fix, blame Biden
Step 3b try same failed fix
...
your 1b might better as 0a?
Vance literally said "Trump inherited a 2 trillion dollar TRADE DEFICIT from Biden"
Fuck the Nazis
Actually, I think that's Step 1. "Can I make money?"

Apparently when Linda Ronstadt did a cover of this one, he *haaaated* it, although he's since said he's sorry he was so mean about it.
She did try really hard to stick to his style with her version, though.

Elvis Costello, mean about something?
Say it ain't so!
Was he known for being mean? I always thought he was one of the nice ones, cause he helped so many people get their starts and all.
Course, so did Prince, and he was pretty mean also XD But in a "He's fucking Prince" sort of way
I was reminded of this song/version by an earlier song you posted

Totally agree. I love that he's released that kind of material. And covers, like this (such an improvement) from Out Of Our Idiot

Ban everything but white men's credit.
The John Wayne version of history.
And if it is not white man's credit, give it to him anyway
DINGDINGDING
That's why I changed "accomplishments" to "credit".
I did not know this

I remember being given a March of Dimes collection thingie, where you were supposed to stick all your dimes in there and then send it off once it was full.
Was around Easter, wasn't it? Or was that the fall one XD
I am mixing up my little boxes to fill with change
I'm confusing it with some Halloween beg.
The fall one was UNICEF ... used to carry the box around on Halloween.
I remember getting those, too.
I remember those too.
Nice times!
I still vaguely remember the march of dimes drives. By my time, polio in this country was over, but it was still in other countries
It's making a comeback!

Well, here's a nightmare headline: Hospital to family of brain dead woman: She must carry fetus to birth because of abortion ban
Talk about women being nothing more than vessels for children.
If the baby was already at the point of viability, and if it was developing healthily, and the family wanted it, I could see doing that, as a "we want to let it develop naturally as much as possible before we remove it" kind of thing. It'd be rough on the kid -- "sorry, your mom died before you were born" -- but they'd probably make okay if the family was decent. If it was a couple of weeks away from viability and the family *didn't* want it, I could almost see trying to persuade the family into letting it develop enough to be removed and then given up for adoption. But if they said no, or any of those first conditions were untrue, then no. Sorry, fetal tissue, you're going to die with the rest of your host.
Organ donation used to require an advanced directive. Now even a corpse doesn’t have rights if it has a uterus in it.
Also, I read that the fetus is likely not viable now. So they’re basically experimenting on her dead body. Against her family’s wishes.
That they're going to bill the family for. And even if that kid does survive, who knows what kind of life they will have
This is beyond bleak and fucked up
I can't imagine being the doctor who, because they are afraid of going to prison, had to deliver that news to the family.
To be fair she isn't doing much else at the moment.

We should go on a paleo diet! Ya know, periods of excess followed by periods of famine. Food insecurity is totes healthy!
"The human body wasn't meant to eat every day."
"Mah 'mmune system can handle anything!"
Make America Healthy Again.
We had an RFKJr fan who had a sign with that in his front yard. He left it there when Bobby the lesser joined Trump.
So, special case MAGAts
They are the Woo MAGAs.
