Well..we know that the repubs lie about everything so I guess we shouldn’t be surprised that the “life of the mother” exception that many of the red states have written into their draconian anti abortion laws just don’t work when women have to sue for that right and it has to go through the deep red court systems…just in the past week a case in Texas shows that the repubs had no intent of allowing any abortion even if the mother’s life is at risk and the fetus has a genetic disease that is fatal every time…a woman there had doctors refuse to perform the needed procedure since they can be arrested for doing it even though she may die or lose her fertility if the abortion wasn’t done…so she sued and a lower court agreed she qualified for the exception…but then the asshole AG stepped in to object and appealed to the Texas SC and the SC said she couldn’t use the exception so she had to leave the state to save her life…now, there is no damn way that any woman should have to sue to control her healthcare…but that is what is happening in every damn red state…and the repubs just don’t care since the cruelty is the point of these laws….geez…

Mr. Smith goes to the SC…
Well…with the continued bleatings from the idiot trump’s that since he was president, he is totally immune from any type of prosecution for any laws he has broken…and it doesn’t matter how many times the ploy is knocked down in court, he continues to use it in every venue where he is being tried to delay the trial as he has in every one of the 4,000 lawsuits he has filed during his lifetime. but Jack smith has other ideas and has filed a brief with the supreme court to ask them to rule on whether or not being president confers immunity to stop these delays…now, this could be a mistake with the right wing supreme court willing to make stuff up as it goes along and ready to break the constitution whenever they can…but I know for a fact that there is nothing in the constitution that gives that immunity and for them to give it to idiot boy would be another reason to reform the court and return it to it’s traditional role of ruling on laws, not making the law like htis ruling would do…geez…
Another great thing that Joe is doing…
Well…I am so damn tired of people don’t see that Joe Biden is doing anything to help anybody and that may make them vote for trump or not voting at all…well…let me tell you about the great thing he just frickin did that is going to help the whole damn country and protect it from the greed of drug companies…the FDA is going to look at all of the drug companies and if they find that they are price gouging and if any of the research for the drug was paid for by tax money from the government, he will vacate the patent and give it to another company to produce…yep, you heard that right…finally, this one is going to have some teeth in it and it will bar the gouging company from getting any government research money for 10 years if they are guilty…so to all you doubters out there, do you think the idiot trump would do anything like this? Ha,ha…that made me laugh out loud…geez…
Why is this not treason?
Well…I don’t know why the media is not screaming about the treason the repubs are going to do this week…lots of repub lawmakers are going to meet with reps from Orban of Hungary this week to “strategize” how to cut off funding for Ukraine and help Putin take over the country…yep, you heard that right…the repubs are openly working with the dictator Orban to do putin’s dirty work and help him in his illegal invasion of Ukraine…any one of them who attend this meeting should be arrested and charged with treason for giving “aid or comfort” to our enemy which is the literal definition of treason…and with this meeting they are conducting illegal foreign policy interference but they just don’t care about any laws anymore…where the hell is Merrick Garland in this? He should be making phone calls to these folks telling them that they will be breaking the law if they attend…and then following up with charging these assholes as soon as they do…this crap can’t stand…geez…
Trains!
Well…you know I’ve had a wish that there would be trains that I could use to get around the state and the rest of the country, but that is not going to happen in my lifetime but the Biden administration just earmarked almost 8 billion dollars to go for rail extensions and upgrades so many of the rails will qualify for high speed trains…I know this is a baby step but you have to start somewhere…and it would be so cool if I could walk down to the park down the hill and get on a train to GR for the day…but then you don’t have any way other than a car to get to the suburbs…when I was young they had busses that ran from GR to Ada and my mother took me to downtown GR when I was about 6 but not now….I really like the trains in the UK since every town had a train station and other forms of transport like the trams in Manchester or Dublin…or the underground in London…that would be cool to have intercity rail again like they did back in the 40′s and 50′s…oh, well…I can dream…
Equal protection under the law…
Well…I wonder why the ACLU is not use the tack of suing red states under the 14th amendment? That’s the one that states we have a right to equal protection under the law…and in red states minorities are still getting their votes thrown out or prevented at a rate significantly higher that for whites…and that sure isn’t equal protection under federal voting laws…it used to be that no matter where you lived, you had essentially the same rights…until the bought and purchased SC allowed unlimited money into politics and gutted women’s rights, voting rights, and the right to be safe from assholes with guns…so now, if you live in a red state, you have many less rights than you do in a blue state…and that is not equal protection under the law…not sure what can be done about it other than getting rid of the corrupt SC and all of the right wing judges who lied their asses off to get on the court…and we dems have to start shouting it…geez…
Bye, bye Kevvie…
Well…this little bit of news has me smiling…kevin mccarthy announced that he is resigning his House seat at the end of the year…and all I have to sat to that is don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out…as the least effective speaker of the house in history and the only one to be removed from the post, this maga asshole supported and still supports the idiot trump and like most of the other maga assholes infesting the House, ole kevvie didn’t accomplish anything other than giving the rich and corporations tax cuts that is still damaging the economy….and trying to cripple the ACA and take health insurance away from 40 million Americans…so good riddance kevvie…leave today even, that would be better…geez
Comer does it again…
Well…damn, it seems like every day the idiot james comer breathlessly says he has found the “smoking gun” that will allow the house repubs to impeach Joe Biden, and every day it blows up in his face…on Monday he was over the right wing propaganda sites hyping his latest “proof” of corruption since he found that Hunter Biden’s company paid his father “monthly” payments of 1,380 dollars…yeah, about that…his company did pay monthly payments for 3 months in repayment of Joe making Hunter’s truck payments for 3 months…and they were paid when Joe wasn’t even in office and Hunter was broke…so Joe does what a good dad does and helps out his only remaining son…and this is all they have? Look, they have been looking for anything to smear Joe with for over a year now and have come up with nothing…how about the repubs just give it up and maybe do something for the people of this country? This is just so much bullshit…geez…
They are coming for your healthcare…again
Well…don’t the repubs ever learn? No they don’t so here we go again with them starting to spout off about repealing the ACA again…never mind they had years to do it after it was passed and they even had total control of the government for some of those years…and we know what damage the last “plan” would have done if it was passed…32 million people would have lost their insurance and those who didn’t get it through their employer would have seen the cost double immediately…oh, and let’s remember that that plan would have gutted pre-existing conditions protections and it even through in a tax cut for the rich because that is all the repubs do…and one other thing that the ACA has done is lower the uninsured rate from 18% down to a low of 7.2% which is a record low…and all of that is at risk because people on the left are pissed at Biden because he didn’t give them everything on their wish list or that he still supports Israel…and they are willing to throw away this country because Biden is “too old”…and I’m tired of these whiners…look, in politics change is usually incremental when you are working for the good of the people but, like with Roe being struck down, you can lose good things in an instant…and a vote for anyone but Biden is a vote for trump….geez…
Russian bots helped kill hundreds of thousands of Americans…
Well…when the covid pandemic just started, there was a blizzard of disinformation to get people to stop masking up and to not get vaccinated…Carnegie Mellon University did a study just recently where they analyzed over 200 million tweets spouting this bullshit and it was found that over 80% of them were from Russia… it was a Russian attack on the US and part of an organized plot designed to make the pandemic worse and kill Americans…and without the attack hundreds of thousands of Americans would still be alive…now, Russia needs to pay for this…and we need ways to keep them from electing the idiot trump again…which again, was another plot to hurt the US and do damage to our society and our standing in the world that Biden is just now repairing…it doesn’t help when one of our political parties is gladly spouting Russian propaganda every day and are getting paid of by the Russians…and they don’t care if they are Russia’s stooges….anything that gets them money and power is more important to them than the US…geez…
