The Fall of Roe v Wade: US Politics, June 2022

The allegations against Boebert were echoed by other prominent online liberal Twitter pundits, including some current and former Democratic politicians, such as former House candidate Brianna Wu, Bernie Sanders ally and former House candidate Nina Turner, and current Kentucky Senate hopeful Charles Booker.

Asses: Shown

GOP has been serious muck raking for decades, so I feel no problem with them getting the feel of the pig pen.

"Well what does it say about Boebert that I thought it could be true?!"

Penguin lust!

URGES, STRAIGHT FROM HELL …

still have my copy of Tales!

It looks like the Pigeon Forge one does still have North and South: "Dolly Parton’s Stampede is filled with friendly North and South competition, thrilling horse riding stunts, spectacular special effects, phenomenal musical productions plus a mouth-watering four-course feast complete with a delicious dessert!"

I thought they'd gotten rid of that when they renamed it. Maybe they just toned down the blue and gray stuff, I don't know.

(I've been to Dollywood plenty of times, but not to the Stampede.)

So Herschel Walker, who acts like he lost a fight with a wall, keeps adding secret children, huh? Family values.

Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte, a man best known nationally for once body-slamming a reporter, has been missing for the past few days as the state experiences devastating and historic flooding. The governor’s office refuses to say where Gianforte currently is, only stating that he left the country sometime last week, according to the Montana Free Press.

maybe he got washed away. fingers crossed!

Appalachian trail redux?

seems more like Cancun redux

Ted Cruz's GOP Cancun Timeshare.

1 vote for hiking in the Appalachians.

Oh I see Josh got there before me, sorry.

I want to be clear that I support the Appalachian trail scenario, too. There are all sorts of ways this guy could be running away

maybe he's having an embarrassing 'procedure' at a clinic in Grenada

listening to the hearings right now, and even for all I have followed this I'm kind of shocked at how explicit the attempted coup was.

I seriously can't believe all these people involved are still out on the streets, not least Trump. it's truly incredible.

yeah, they're doing a pretty good job of laying it all out, clear as day

Apparently all of Trump's personal attorneys are both unethical and insane, much like their employer.

Incidentally, Pence comes off both courageous and cowardly, the former for certifying the vote while his boss was trying to get him killed, but a coward for being so mealy mouthed about this whole ordeal, up to and including the fact that he is not testifying in public, where he might have actually rehabilitated himself while perhaps closing the door on these truly frightening lunatics returning to power.

To start with, if Eastman does not go to jail then all is lost.

That judge's very methodical closing statement was downright chilling.

yea I mean this is so well constructed it feels like if there's no accountability for any of this then America is just not a functioning country anymore

I just wish I had any level of confidence that this isn't going to end in a, "but in the interest of healing the divide in our nation, we won't be charging anyone blah blah" bullshit.

Ha all the newsers saying “now the GOP position reversal after about Jan 15 is INDEFENSIBLE!”

sisters, brothers puhleeze. bubbas and bowheads are nowabouts gonna get asking everyone “hold my beer.”

Finally watching

Nixon got his pardon, but all the other Watergate criminals spent time in prison. The nation survived.

Man, this judge.

He felt every word and wanted us to.

And a Poppy appointee

The money does not care, they have been overthrowing governments all around the world for decades. This crap has been building since Reagan, corporations just want to make money and they don't care who is in charge as long as they lower their taxes and let them do what they want to do. The entire American legal system is just de-evolving into a giant mess. Why believe in the US dollar at this point?

In the end, I think it would have been better if Trumps coup would have gotten further and bloodier, as that shit would have been hammered down and then some real change might have happened. Right now, it is still oh well 'boys will be boys'.

There should be a V wing of B-52s napalming Mar A Lago into the stone age.

yeah well fuck you.

A bloodier coup would've killed people like me

I'll never understand the idea that we need things to get WORSE so that they will finally get BETTER. That literally never works. Just try to make them better now.

Not clear if you could convict him of attempted murder of the Vice President but not clear you couldn't. This has to be the darkest moment in Presidential history.

I'll never understand the idea that we need things to get WORSE so that they will finally get BETTER

I recall that being Susan Sarandon's reasoning in why she would never vote for Hillary Clinton over Trump

I lost several friends in 2016 because they thought we needed -- this word came up a lot -- "a reckoning."

you got nothing to lose, you don't lose when you lose fake friends! fake friends!

- joan jett

definitely not pro-reckoning but seems like Clinton camp was m/l jumping at the chance to run against Trump, at least initially. one more reason DLC third way types weren’t/ aren’t suited for the moment

I'll never understand the idea that we need things to get WORSE so that they will finally get BETTER. That literally never works. Just try to make them better now.

The many things obstructions to "making things better now" that we all point to day after day - the entire line of anti-democratic institutions that ultimately control American politics from the Senate to the Federal Reserve Board to the Supreme Court to the Electoral College - are insurmountable without some kind of breakdown of the state as constituted.

The question is whether the pain of the breakdown is worth it in the long run (and how that compares to the long, slow immiseration we're getting as it is) - I, for one, don't think so because what comes after is unlikely to be better and climate catastrophe is rendering the entire question moot anyway but I don't know if you can say that "that literally never works" - and non-revolutionary examples of making things better without the pain are also lacking.

Things don’t just … STOP getting worse, is the thing. Once the die is cast, it’s sealed.

In other words, Morbs was right all along

For perspective, we as a society likely peaked when this was committed to vinyl:
