  1. about twice as many people voted in this Kansas primary as did last time again, putting a single issue like abortion or gun restrictions and you will get Rs that will vote like moderates/libruls. But getting them to vote for a name with a [D] after it is a bridge too far in most cases.
  2. not a Kansas constitutional scholar, but from what i have read it's in their state constitution (an amendment) that abortion is a right. It's not that just there are no laws banning abortion, but that it is a right for all women. This vote was to take away that amendment and put them back at square one, where predictably, all the handmaid's tale stuff would then be introduced at a time of the GQPs choosing. so the GQP put in that they *might* put in allowances for rape and safety of the mother to try and bring in moderates. But really, had this passed, we would have seen total bans.
  3. yeah, after re-reading, maybe txhorns is nowthis?
  4. people have been calling for the demise of the NFL for some time now. apple and amazon are currently fighting for NFL scaps and willing to pay billions. i think the same thing will happen in college football. people will hem and haw about the good ole days and say no one will watch it anymore...then tune in on Saturday in the fall.
  5. well, even though it was implied that all the rights went to white men, it was (unfortunately for GQP) not explicitly spelled out as such and all the women, POC and even Native Americans are able to glean some protections from the Constitution. GQP can't be havin' any of that shit. also, gotta walk back that separation of Church and State bit so they can install the 4th branch of gov; the waspy pope.
  6. but they don't pay for free air on Emergency Brake of the week
  7. Have a coworker who is on the quest for a Daytona and that's the message he has been getting. buy some jewelry and that might improve your odds. and this is a dealer he has purchased a Rolex with before.
  8. SIAP earlier. it probably has but don't care https://www.blackenterprise.com/lets-go-brandon-signs-coded-to-insult-biden-helps-autistic-8-year-old-find-his-courage/
  9. now do it for if the hospital is run by a religion and some pederast bishop is in charge whose entire religion thinks women shouldn't make decisions and has never received sex ed whatsoever is making the decisions. Saw something like 15% of all hospitals are run by the Catholics. We have religious looneys refusing to fill birth control Rxs at CVS but people expect them stand up and do the right thing when a fetus is involved?
  10. so to give women needed medical procedures, to save their lives or prevent/reduce physical/mental trauma, the onus is on the admins/docs to play chicken with a DA and dare them to bring charges against them personally? The fucking DAs are already trying to go after docs in other states who provide legal abortion. This is your take? JFC glad you disapprove of the laws you brought about. about as helpful as thoughts and prayers lol
  11. so you don't think the environment of abortion bounties and elected officials trying to out-zealot each other proclaiming they will sue/prosecute/jail/fine any entity that dares to help a pregnant woman may contribute to having doctors looking over their shoulder? Give me a fucking break trying to pin this on hospital admins. This is working better than these sick fuck GOP misogynists could have dreamed of.
  12. yes, they could ride trains to get there and IBM could be tasked with identifying and tracking them. what could go wrong? not to say that a safe humane place for homeless to go/live is a bad idea. But that's not really the vibe i would get if say his good buddy Stephen Miller implemented the program.
  13. much rejoicing!
  14. yeah, biggest issue is WTF do parents do if they both work? I guess that cost 'savings' gets pushed to them to find child care for each Friday.
  15. all that experience being a villain in Scott Pilgrim v World I liked the movie a lot. the 14 yo son gave it 2 thumbs up as well. gosling was a badass.
  16. I mean yeah, but i still watch longhorn football and occasionally buy merch.
  17. we need to get to a point where people fly like in the movie 5th Element, but take it a step further. Upon entering the airport, you present yourself and your ticket then are promptly gassed unconscious. Then taken into a small tube in the aircraft and stowed. airplane flies w/o issue and you are revived at your destination. no more dustups between passengers, FA. no more dickhead behavior on board. no more eating onions and fish during the flight. just cargo with a heartbeat moving from point A to point B. We lost the right to have nice things a long time ago.
  18. i mean, i cannot disagree with the sentiment due to all the airline fuckery that has been going on lately.
  19. damn, errrbody getting the covid. wife and i (full vax) have had it twice. once in late Jan and the other early July. Seems like omicron both times (still had smell/taste). 2nd time was a breeze and just felt off for a few days and back to normal after a week. First time was way more aching and lots of brain fog. daughter had a fever for 3 days but felt fine after getting an NSAID. she was under 12 at the time of her vax so did not receive the full adult dose. son has not been cornered by Covid yet per the home tests at least.
