I bet ol’ dense Pence did a Jesus jig when he pushed this through. I’m sure he and Mother called all their kids, including the ones they unselfishly adopted. Oh right, that never happened.

I vote for replacing ‘fetus’ with ‘nugget’.

Oh, THAT’S why I roll my eyes so much!

“Fetus” -> “extra small attached babyperson”

I think they should go with “aged zygote” instead of “unborn child”

Can they actually do that?

Since 9/11 I’ve felt as the U.S. has been gradually—and in some areas, such as police militarization and brutality, and suppression of dissent—more obviously and quickly moving in the “police state” direction.

Am I going overboard with the hyperbole?

so where are the criers of free speech, huh? This is a direct attack on the agency’s ability to speak, let alone do its damn job.

Left out the best part-

“Because the CDC is tasked with leading the nation’s efforts at preventing and controlling disease, the banned words and phrases will affect the programs that use them, including” ALL OF THEM!

Because he’s a predator. He’s spent his life harassing and assaulting women, and threatening them into silence. And now we know he’s also ruined their careers and lives in other ways. He can’t shut up. It’s him against them, and they were never supposed to be strong enough to overpower him.

i was simply asking why she had to drop out because the DCCC dropped her. i was not saying whether she should or not and i clearly said i believe this man.

She could certainly run without the DCCC. (For example, anyone who primaries a sitting rep would be running without the support of the RCCC/DCCC, as applicable.)
