She’s the right person for the job right now. I have a record of encouraging the party to promote younger people, particularly for the 2020 Presidential. But the job of Speaker (when performered properly, as she did 2007-2011) is managerial, and she’s an excellent administrator/delegator.

“I heard myself. I just didn’t LISTEN.“

My nearly 50 YO self is saying “you should have stood up for yourself and not married him if you were not ready, mother be damned”.

In what possible way is his life in tatters?!!!!! I’ve had this argument for the last week (has it been a week? It feels like years) with my newly racist meme posting aunt. So far the answers is: It just is.

his daughters—who are beautiful, incredible young kids

After this, and what he said about women needing to stay out of the workplace if they can’t “handle it”, AND basically his entire history...I’m scared for his daughters.

This is going to get to him bigly.  She could have written that his presidency is the worst thing to happen to America since 9/11.  She could have written that his wife is hideous looking and braindead.  She could have written that he is a grade-A asshole and dumber than a nutless squirrel.  She could have called his…

Those were the good old days when we thought they were the bad days but they were not. It’s been so long ago I can hardly remember it. What’s it been? 10-12 years?? Only 2 weeks?? Are you fucking kidding me.

What a fucking fucktard. From royal protocol:

I’ve noticed that his answer to any issue that requires any nuance is, “We’ll see what happens.” And he does this so that WHATEVER happens, he can either take credit or place blame.  He doesn’t give one shit about abortion - and I’m sure he’s paid for his fair share.  He only cares about what will make people like him…

“During his remarks, Severino also relayed a story about a Catholic nurse who was required to perform an abortion, which violated her religious beliefs.”

Because ultimately, it’s not about assimilation: it’s about punishing these immigrants for simply being who they are.

If they want these people to assimilate more why don’t they offer free schooling for the whole families. Language courses, Civics courses and perhaps job/technical training for adults and teens? These seem like better things to help assimilation and economic independence for people. Breaking language barriers and…

Exactly.  I have the same thought about what’s going on in the ICE detention centers.  You rip a kid away from his parents and make him live in a cage with no social contact?  You’re basically making a sociopath.

How on earth do these ungrateful young Muslims get radicalized? ask the people who enact these horrors, with a total lack of self-understanding.

So what’s the correct reaction when, several years from now, dipshit pro-life women in red states find themselves in Savita Halappanavar’s position, about to leave their first 2 kids without a mother because kid #3 miscarries and will get septic, but she can’t get an abortion because ‘heartbeat’? Because I want to be…

Doctors will continue to do abortions. For wealthy white women who have insurance and who can afford to be checked into the hospital for a day or two.

If Roe falls, we need to build a safety net of our own. Have doctors who are willing to do procedures that break the law for the sake of a moral society that lets women have a choice in their pregnancies. Import the meds however we can. So on and so forth. We can Underground Railroad this shit.

This week the Supreme Court decided that it’s unconstitutional to force fake doctors to tell women the truth, but totally constitutional to force real doctors to lie to them. That’s the court we have right now. And it’s about to become so much worse.

This is a saddening dose of reality. Even if the blue wave sweeps out Trump and the GOP, we’ll still be fucked for years to come because we have a Supreme Court that will gladly rule on the side of sexism, bigotry, and racism.
