You know what you should never do? Compare your “relationship” with a child to Elizabethan standards of intimacy and consent (or lack thereof). “She hath not seen the change of fourteen years” ergo Juliet was roughly the same age as the girl Congressman Dipshit impregnated, and Romeo was likely...older.

Yup this hits home. Friends and acquaintances, gone by the wayside. My own damn parents are so vaccine hesitant and I know their constant stream of Fox News is fuelling their disinformation. They have literally told me and my sister to “think about them” before getting the vaccine, as if our own immunization will…

Torture, shmorture. Have you seen his delightful paintings???

Another story to be filed in the “no shit, sherlock” category. 

That’s organized religion for you. 

It honestly feels like the CDC is appeasing or buckling to pressure from certain (louder) segments of the population that want to do away completely with these public health guidelines. Why is this guidance update necessary at this time? Hospitalization and death rates continue to rise due to variants of concern and…

I’m going to take a wild guess and say no. He has spewed a lot of retrograde sexist bullshit before. The man a.k.a “the king” can let his beer gut hang no problem, but he would not extend the same courtesy to his female counterpart, that’s for damn sure.

In Soviet Russia America, men take away your rights to bodily autonomy and make medical decisions for you. 

RIGHT???

So my understanding of this issue is that the “social-collective” goal of eliminating abortions altogether (which has been posited as a ideological bridge between Democrats and Republicans) creates a judgement about getting an abortion and stigmatizes women’s individual choices. Women will always desire or require an…

I would welcome a presidential moratorium on these idiotic parties.

Uh...YES.

Have repubs abandoned their core principle of “personal responsibility”? Or was it all just a ruse? HMMM

I totally agree, but there has to be a change in campaign fundraising and financing so that the structure isn’t skewed towards the rich. Right now, there’s no incentive for political candidates to “do the right thing” when they’re being fed buttloads of cash for access. 

Isn’t it the rich guys that have prime access to the lawmakers and lobby them for tax breaks?

Um, what makes you say that?

I totally get the idea of eliminating the filibuster to get shit done and all, but what happens once it’s removed and there’s a Republican-controlled Senate one day (because that’s how the cookie always seems to crumble, unfortunately)? Won’t they use that as a way to push through horribly unpopular bills without any…

I guess this will help drive up the birth rate that researchers are so worried about. 

The only people with an apparent quest for “high-profile controversy” is the Catholic church. The diocese associated to this school, along with many others in CA, have been vehemently opposed to expanding the statute of limitations for accusers of clergy sexual abuse to sue their abusers. If they truly cared about…

Another religious institution with dubious celebrity connections, behaving criminally, and without accountability? Well, colour me green.
