I know. And yet the republicans cynically run on stopping it year after year. And the rubes lap it up. And now the guardrails are gone and true believers are in positions of power About to be some painful finding out

You could stop illegal immigration tomorrow by making hiring an undocumented worker a felony punishable by 10 years in prison. I wonder why no one has done so?

Is equal rights for women a single issue?

lol how about Wall Street and Detroit? What was the price tag on those? Or the S&Ls in the 80s? That was $120B - and them were 1980’s dollars On top of taxpayer funded bailouts there are bankruptcies-which pretty much any business can use to get out from under; and any individual- unless the debt is student loans. So fucked up

I’ve got an English lit degree. I’m doing ok

You realize those people were mostly naive poor people who are first generation college students or people whose school districts abandoned teaching trades?

I live in reality. I treat all God’s children daily. I’m going to be fine. Most of the country won’t be.

Even if it was Trump university or another one of the blatantly fraudulent for profit “schools?”

And you said you were through contributing to society

Nvm

Why are people assuming these deportations will follow any type of due process?

Do you take antibiotics?

Oh I’m being facetious. I worry about my boys as much as my girls. One loves the outdoors and is constantly researching climate change. He is as distraught about what’s coming from that standpoint as he is worried about his sisters. My other son is extremely emotionally guarded but I can tell he is upset. Some of his oldest friends are among the jackasses I previously mentioned

If they are white straight and male pretty good

Y’all realize Icono sucked a lot of cocks (for free apparently, not in exchange for drugs as was previously assumed) But he has issues with sex education courses that include education on safe homosexual sex acts.

Texas State campus yesterday. My daughter at UT said there were men standing on the drag in front of the Co-op calling the female students whores and they shouldn’t be allowed to vote, were made for breeding, etc. Trump being elected emboldens these freaks. My HS daughter said some of the boys have already gotten more aggressive and sexually hostile since yesterday. These are all kids who live in million dollar plus homes. Fuck a truce.

And?

So you see more “attacking” from the left than from the side that is literally killing women?

One would have to bring back pipe smoking as well, if one wanted a chance at success

“They” was becoming acceptable as a third person singular neuter pronoun when I took upper division English Grammar at UT 35 years ago. It wasn’t in any style books yet, but English is dominated by descriptive not prescriptive rules for grammar and syntax: otherwise we would all be speaking French. Of course one could use “one” instead, but who other than William F Buckley could really pull that off?

I’m glad it was uncomplicated. My wife did as well over 20 years ago. And a few days later she needed a D&C and got it no questions asked. Had she needed one the day of the miscarriage it would have been the same That’s no longer the reality thanks to voters like your wife and several of my friends and family members. Several women have died so far and more will. Your wife’s and my daughters’ lives are at risk like this was the 1800’s and that is not hyperbole If there is a fetal heartbeat, unless the woman is hemorrhaging (life threatening) or in florid sepsis (likely to lose uterus if not actually die from multisystem organ failure), they can’t get a D&C or any other pregnancy terminating care. Hospitals are ending their L&D programs and physicians are giving up their OB privileges or moving out of Texas. Public education in Texas and nationwide is about to be gutted. Medicare and SS are about to be gutted Birth control and travel across state lines for abortion are likely to be made illegal Mass deportations are going to commence soon I’ll be fine and better off financially than I would be under a democratic admin. But my daughters are scared and pissed and I am furious that things have come to this

She’s an enabler of fascism. The families of women dying from miscarriages may find that a distinction without a difference

About 25%. But there are another 26% who are complicit. Camel got his nose under the tent now. The finding out is going to begin.

Counterpoint: people are stupid
