That seems remarkably inaccurate but OK.

They've obviously never met my sister and brother-in-law!

In consecutive posts on Instagram just now:

VoteVets: Sharing a Politico post that Trump allies prepare to infuse Christian Nationalism in a second term.

Washington Post: The Alabama Supreme Court recognizes Frozen embryos as children, imperiling IVF.

Katie Grossbard: Sharing a report that West Virginia advances bill to prosecute librarians over books.

Fuck this fucking country, man.

Someone on twitter mentioned that if embryos are children does that mean each is a tax writeoff?

And, if you’re transporting them, you should get to drive in the carpool/HOV lane!

Didn’t a woman try to plead this?

Yes and I think she won too though it was in Texas or some other Bible Belt state.

Florida surgeon general defies science amid measles outbreak

Instead of following what he acknowledged was the “normal” recommendation that parents keep unvaccinated children home for up to 21 days — the incubation period for measles — Ladapo said the state health department “is deferring to parents or guardians to make decisions about school attendance.”

For someone so well-educated (MD and PhD in public health, both from Harvard), this guy is certainly a dumb-ass.

Was talking about this with the GF last night (she does ultrasounds at a high risk MFM clinic, and they see a TON of IVF patients). She told me that its common practice to do genetic screening on IVF embryos before they are implanted. Any that have genetic abnormalities are discarded.

What is going to happen then? Will the doctors/patients making that decision be prosecuted? Will the IVF patients be on the hook to pay for cold storage for those embryos forever?

you've already got another on the side? jeez man...

He's mostly an asshole now, but one of Bill Maher's standup joke from way back was "Christians believe life begins at erection.

Also, Josh Hawley's is a 'capital C' Cunt.

Pretty solidly pro choice here but just maybe. I can get my head wrapped around it but likely some controls needed there

[HaulCitgo]

Real talk consumers would want to pay for aggressive criteria here and you know how companies like to appease consumers

Oh, that whole lawsuit about the abortion drug is crazy how corrupt it is. They got that judge installed in that district, where he's the only Judge (so no chance of the cast going to anyone else), and then incorporated their advocacy group Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, for which Hawley's wife is an attorney, in Amarillo expressly so he could rule the way he did.

The fix was in from the very start.

Should we call it the "Cruz Conundrum"?

Hitler-praising Massachusetts GOP candidate pledges to 'exile all Jews'

One of the candidates to represent a Boston-area district in the Massachusetts Republican Party's State Committee is an avowed neo-Nazi who has pledged the mass expulsion of Jews from the United States.

"Don’t forget I’ll likely get voted into office on March 5," Lori Kauffman posted to her X account over the weekend. "Long term goals are to ban same sex marriage (never should have been legalized) and trans will be illegal. Yes illegal. I will also exile all Jews."

According to the local Boston outlet Universal Hub, Kauffman, who is from Dorchester and running in the First Suffolk District in the RSC, "divides her love between Kanye West and Hitler ... and blames a Covid-19 shot for giving her stage-4 brain cancer." She has posted a meme of herself holding a pay phone with the words, "Hi, Hitler? It's 2024 here and we're requesting your assistance."

[sancarlos]

I have Jewish friends with her last name. Hmm…?

[The Sybian]

Curious if her crazy beliefs pre-dated the brain cancer. Even worse, she believes she can, as a State Rep, remove federally granted Rights.

[HaulCitgo]

Yeah... you know how antisemitic people in Boston are!?!? Maybe try brooklyn

[degenerasian]

Publicity stunt? Is this like 100 people running for mayor of Toronto? She'd be rejected immediately.

Lauren Boebert’s son arrested, charged in “string of vehicle trespasses and property thefts” in Rifle

One of U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert’s sons was arrested Tuesday on charges related to a “string of vehicle trespasses and property thefts,” according to the Rifle Police Department.

Police arrested Tyler Jay Boebert, 18, about 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, the department said in a Facebook post Tuesday evening.

He is facing four felony charges of criminal possession of ID documents of multiple victims, one count of conspiracy to commit a felony and “over 15 additional misdemeanor and petty offenses,” the department stated.

Can we start calling it the "Boebert Crime Family" yet?

[P.D.X.]

Man I feel sorry for any kid being raised in that situation. Gotta be tough when your mom giving handies makes headlines.

[sancarlos]

They’re going to make a film about that family at some point in future.

[mister d]

Yeah ... a PORNO film!!!

[DaveInSeattle]

Yeah ... a PORNO film!!!

A sequel to "Nailin' Palin"...

You mean to tell me this isn't ideal parenting?

When real life imitates art.

(Latest season of Fargo has a very similarly cringe-worthy family photo.)

It's currently a trending hashtag.

It's always makes me laugh when white trash pretend they aren't and they judge everyone else for the ills of the world when it's actually them that suck.

[rass]

Did they have to three name the kid?

That's him in the Packers gear, yeah?

And, she had the gall today to make a Twitter post today about what she called “the Biden crime family.”

Could there ever be an ironic family massacre? Like if the Packers played the Raiders and them Bobert boys got too into the game?

The reason she said that was to deflect. Give their base anything to cling to because the truth is no longer reality.

[Johnnie]

Well, if you believe Newsweek, this is... something.

And...the victim is a minor. Like father, like son.

I want to laugh. But this shit ain't funny.



Edit:

Ok, I guess I have to laugh a little. These comments...



I'll add "That's So Depravin'"
