I miss the non-pre-recorded WonkTV sessions, with the witty Greek chorus of Wonketteers in the sidebar. I understand that they are probably much more difficult to pull off due to time zones, scheduling, and perhaps YouTube weirdness. But I miss 'em. There, I said it.
your reminder that Republicans believe there should be no laws or restrictions on guns whatsoever, unless it's Hunter Biden, in which case he should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for a minor infraction. don't even try to think about this or your hypocrisy meter will fucking explode...
I have yet to encounter any such regretful individuals.
And I vigorously second your hopes that this lawsuit prevails. These prudish curtain-twitchers have NO right to legislate their morality on the rest of us.
A great many people (adults even) decide to post things on the internet that they later regret. But the internet is forever and there’s no taking it back. They aren’t even outliers. We don’t make them see a psychologist for a year before letting them post. We don’t ask them to try out being that person who wants to post that thing, to see if they truly and genuinely feel that’s who they are. We don’t consult their parents. And, we don’t legislate their choices. We just let them be who they are, and give them access to what they need to achieve that.
On the other side, performative anarcho-lefties who like to say "Burn it all down and start over." Even making allowances for hyperbole, what could they possibly be imagining?
The goal of many is documented in The Handmaid's Tale. That's the goal of many, but there is disagreement . The ultimate goal is Thomas Hobbes' nightmare: perpetual war of all against all.
Can we get bortions in gumball machines or taco trucks on every corner?
Because my woke daughter thinks they should be like the choice between black beans or refried in your tacos, just a totally normal thing.
I gently suggested that it might be a good idea to try to avoid getting pregnant in the first place, just to avoid the procedure, because you can, and she said "fuck that, you can decide to have sex knowing full well that an abortion is your only plan if you get pregnant, and that's still fine, fuck you shut up!!!"

Yes, with Stephen. This is EXTRA SPECIAL WONDERFUL NEWS.
PAB's interview with Megs provided enough evidence to bury him in the Marianas Trench. The man cannot STFU to save his life, literally: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-megyn-kelly_n_65037aa6e4b0208b8ffab2d8
People keep complaining that he hasn’t been muzzled.
I think the prosecution has declined to advocate for that, because he keeps confessing to the crimes he’s committed.
At some point, though, there will be no one left to be in the jury pool.
He's doing their job for them.
Drumpfenfuehrer continues to serve as his own most effective prosecutor.
He admitted to waving around the Classified Iran Attack Plan. I almost feel sorry for his lawyers.
Almost
Yet again, his only defense was "I was allowed to do that."
I hope they had the common sense to get cash up front.

You may have heard of this, but there is very soon to be a press briefing by Karine Jean-Pierre.

Also: some kids and families are standing up to political jerks in North Dakota, who want to ban gender-affirming care.

I just found out about this right on this very mommyblog, in case you missed it:
Petition for a Florida constitutional amendment protecting abortion.

Yeah, he's lying.
“Oh, you wouldn’t know them. They’re in Canada.”

As with any group, there likely are statistical outliers. And it's unfortunate if that's how they feel.
We know that's not the majority. The data provides indications to the contrary. Not that any of those assholes care.
We wouldn’t know them. They live in Canada. Lol

Funny how it’s the pro-life people who want a Civil War.
Why has no one ever asked them what is the goal of their Civil War? What do they want to happen if they win? What would happen if they lose?
Journalism sucks in this country. They just take whatever republicans say at face value and never ask them any hard questions.

(I think that's a literal quote)
I'm learning!
There’s a gal who gets it! Good job, you!
Not for any moral reason, but I'd try to avoid it. It's not dangerous but it's not fun, and repeated abortions can damage the cervix.
She is actually very safe, on the pill and in a steady long term relationship, so I don't worry about her at all.
Also, abortions don't prevent STDs. Safer sex practices do.
Celebratory abortions for everyone!
Even men!
Why not? They can get a "rain check" and give it to someone who might need it later.
"Rain check"! Extra points for a new euphemism for a condom.
Gift certificates.

He has the rhythm of a rotting cantaloupe, so I don't think he is going to last long.
First time he freezes up mid-performance, he's out.
He is reasonably sympathetic towards the devil, though.
