    Don't want to hear a word about welfare from people against abortion. Gonna be more poor single women needing help.

    Crime will go up in 15-20 years as more unwanted children are being born. 

    If you're a fan of Freakanomics you may recall Levitt's paper about abortion access and the tie in with falling rates of violent crime in the 1990's.

    We'll all need more concealed weapons to protect ourselves in about 20 years.  'merica!

    Within the next five years, this Supreme Court will require states to grant equal state funding to both public schools and private religious schools.

    Some Satanic churches need to set up schools pronto.  Let's see what they think about that.

    How well would they do if Poland and Estonia both said fuck this and started lobbing missiles onto Russian supplies/manufacturing?

    I have no idea how NATO would handle such a scenario.  Does Article 5 even apply if a NATO member attacks another country (Russia in this case) first and then Russia retaliates?

    And the filibuster isn’t even an actual filibuster. Today a senator only has to anonymously declare they’re “filibustering” and the senate processes halt. When you see a senator performing the historic filibuster actions, like Cruz reading Dr. Seuss books, that’s only for show. It’s unnecessary.

    Is the filibuster actually anonymous?  If true, fuck that shit.  Make them own it.

    I do see the advantage of the fake filibuster in the sense that other business in the Senate can move forward.  However, in this current political climate that's somewhat questionable anyway.  If we won't get rid of the filibuster then maybe we should return to its original form.  Make the fuckers own it and parade them in front of the nation showing them gumming up the works.  And for what?

    You realize those transplants coming from California aren't coming from the Blue areas, right? They're making the state redder. 

    We ran into a restaurant owner in rural California who sang Texas' praises when he found out we had lived there in the past.  He expressed a desire to move there one day.  In a restaurant covered in God and Jesus references and knick knacks his highest praise was that Texas knew how to execute people.  You know, just like Jesus stated in his sermon on the mount.  If he fits the average pattern of migrants into the state then Texas is indeed fucked.

    Here is a graphic with casualties per region. Noticeably light is Moscow, St Petersberg, and....Chechnya. TikTok warriors still surviving all of those intense firefights with those traffic lights.

    North Ossetia up there near the top of the per capita death rate in Ukraine.  Maybe South Ossetia needs to reconsider its planned vote to join Russia.

    So serious question here - Prior to the Russian invasion, we heard a lot about how Ukraine was a corrupt country; and they struggled to take out Russian-backed insurgents, and gave up Crimea.

    But after Russia invaded, all of the sudden they got their shit together and turned from Bruce Banner into the Hulk?

     

     

    I know Zelenskyy and his predecessor Poroshenko were both trying to stamp out corruption and end the fighting with Russia. But it seems like they had the chops to take out Russian backed separatists and re-take Crimea if they wanted to. So explain it to me like I'm a 5 year old. What happened since February 24?

    Prior to Russia's invasion Ukraine had some defensive weapons that could keep the breakaway areas in check but nothing required to go on the offensive.  When Russia attacked Ukraine used their new tactics and unit cohesion to impressive levels and the western powers that be decided they'd leveled up and are now sending the heavy stuff.  NOW they have the tools needed (mostly, they could use more air power) to gain ground.

    Also, the Russians ended up being an unintentional supplier of heavy arms as well, courtesy of Ukrainian tractors.
