That’s true, though as we see right here in America a working knowledge of American slavery certainly doesn’t go hand-in-hand with having a good grasp on what is or is not appropriate.

That’s true, however the OP is saying you almost don’t need to overturn it.  Which isn’t the case.  Take Texas for example.  Many people have to drive very far to get to the handful of clinics that still do them in Texas, but if the SCOTUS pushes the issue back to the states it will almost surely be banned in short…

Yep. But what we’re talking about here is going from having to drive “far” to having to drive “really far” if you live in a red state that will ban abortion within days of the case being overturned if that’s what happens.

When neo-Nazis keep finding their way onto the ballot, winning the primary, and then becoming your accidental nominee, you should probably take a long, hard look at what your party’s become.

The right has been picking away at Roe for decades to the extent that you almost don’t need to overturn it

There were some Republican wonk/thinktank groups that were still willing to work for him, such as the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation.

I’m embarrassed for you. Legitimately. What a stupid fucking analogy. And it’s not even because you Godwin’d the thread.

Right? There are a number of low probability / high consequence side effects to taking psychedelics.  

Supernatural is fun! Let’s go see what other people think about it!

Rick Perry didn’t get away with it. His political ambitions are absolutely done and no one ever really took him all that seriously as a Presidential candidate in the first place.

Technically, what he did was not cheating. Ethically, it sure ruined a lot of people’s days.

The point is that Republicans routinely get away with batshit insane policy proposals without having the party establishment always throwing cold water on the ideas.

The Lebron-GOAT debate is getting to be about as tiresome as watching a guy who got out of rape allegations on somewhat sketchy grounds clang 21 foot jump shots off the front of the rim.

I’m not asserting it with “certainty” I just suspect that, net/net if she’d been doing it for 10 years, that she would have been busted. A story would have percolated out somehow. Someone would have talked, an email would have been leaked or a test result would have gone against her. As I said elsewhere, if someone…

If you put a Venn Overlap diagram on “Things Donald Trump said” and “Things Donald Trump and Republicans ever seriously considered doing” the overlap would be very small because Donald Trump says a lot of stupid shit. He just gets people to ignore it by playing on their nativism.

Wow, really?

That’s true, but he wasn’t just brought down because one time he forgot the test was coming.

They were going to come out of the grays either way.

With the amount of testing the USADA does on her combined with the fact that they aren’t just sitting there never evolving their methods that they would have caught up to her at some point over the last several years if she was doping I think. I get that doping has become more complex but so have testing regimens.…
