Funny they didn't make Lindsay Graham explain why he is single back in 2016. Wonder what the difference could be?

Did Lindsey Graham have any donors in 2016?

I'm not a lawyer...but how is this even legal? How would it even be enforceable?

Highways are the next antiabortion target. One Texas town is resisting.

Antiabortion advocates behind the measure are targeting regions along interstates and in areas with airports, with the goal of blocking off the main arteries out of Texas and keeping pregnant women hemmed within the confines of their antiabortion state. These provisions have already passed in two counties and two cities, creating legal risk for those traveling on major highways including Interstate 20 and Route 84, which head toward New Mexico, where abortion remains legal and new clinics have opened to accommodate Texas women. Several more jurisdictions are expected to vote on the measure in the coming weeks.

“This really is building a wall to stop abortion trafficking,” said Mark Lee Dickson, the antiabortion activist behind the effort.

And look at this asshole Dickson:

A preacher wearing sneakers, jeans, and a backwards baseball hat. How hip and fucking edgy!

I think it was true until Trump torpedoed their unity. Still, they've played the game as a whole better than the Dems over the last decade plus. That's why they're dominating the Supreme Court and really the judiciary in general. And state governments. All that despite being the political minority and not winning the national popular vote in a couple of decades.

You could probably say "breaking the game" instead of playing it.

I like to think this is flagrantly unconstitutional. But with this Court?

Supreme Court says states can pass abortion laws because no federal constitutional restriction. So Texas constitutional delegation of legislative power to cities counties and legislative police power restrictions on local ordinances. Home rule questions.

Why you got to be careful with racist, partisan, religious, capitalist lawmaking cause it's tough to see how it might bite you back.

Mexico’s next President will be a woman for the first time in its history as both the ruling party and opposition coalition nominated women for the June 2024 election.

If the Morena (ruling party) candidate wins, it will also be Mexico’s first Jewish president.

The full interview hasn't aired but social media is going after Jake Tapper for this:

DeSantis looks like an AI generated person in that video. Or like the rubber suited people in the Primus video.

The late term abortion bullshit argument drives me nuts! They always make it seem like Blue states allow anyone to walk into Planned Parenthood 9 months pregnant and decide they don't want a baby. Third trimester abortions are a tiny percentage, and almost always when the fetus isn't viable, or already dead. It's disgusting and barbaric to make a woman continue a pregnancy when the fetus is already dead, especially when it poses a health risk to the mother.

Anybody been following New Mexico these last several days? The governor, Michelle Lujan Grisham, just decided to take executive action and suspend open and conceal carry for Albuquerque for 30 days.

And she's getting raked for it by damn near everyone, including law enforcement entities, as it violates the Constitution.

Fuck. Thursday, I’m flying to visit my aging parents in New Mexico. So, I’m going to hear about this shit all week. My folks aren’t gun people, but they don’t like the governor, so they’ll latch on to this.

To fight the incoming onslaught of revisionist history about how Romney was always "anti-Trump", remember that he met with Trump post-2016 election to beg for the Sec'y of State gig, and called the meeting "enlightening and interesting and engaging."

Romney also welcomed Trump's endorsement in 2012.

Like Liz Cheney, Romney only looks good on this issue in comparison with his Republican colleagues.

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Wed Sep 13, 2023 2:51 pm

He did himself a good service of PR with his lone Republican impeachment vote.

I'm stunned a 76 year old is going to retire from politics. I thought the move was to make sure the Senate was his retirement home and hospice care. He's so young.

Say what you want about Romney, but we should all be so lucky to look as good as him at 76. There might be something to that Mormon living.

Yeah, but if the tradeoff is no alcohol, weed or even caffeine, I think I'll pass.
