I’m raising an autistic child and am heavily involved in arts programs for special needs children, so spare me your lectures. His school, Oxbridge Academy, is a rich snot school and if this was a deep dark secret hidden by the Trumps, Rupert would’ve leaked it in the Post when he was mad at Donnie.

Let’s not forget the tidbit about Melania initially being introduced to Donnie by none other than Jeffrey Epstein, paragon of healthy, consensual adult relationships.

He has had a few good pics of him smiling but man, the majority seem to always capture a gloomy expression.

Honestly thought she’d be flat-backing for a Saudi Prince by now. Or an elderly Italian with an inheritance estate in Tuscany and a portrait of Mussolini over his bed.

Kid never looks anything but completely miserable. And very pale, even for a pale male. Does he never go outside? 

It is quite stunning that Kate would be seen in a car with him. I have to assume this was forced on her. But after making suuuuch a big deal about how hard it was to be around Meghan (supposedly, according to palace leaks) when the queen died, she’s a-ok about being seen with this jabroni? Girl, please. I would

The dirt that Andrew has on King Charles must be dark.

Nothing makes me happier than when Kate and William reveal themselves anew as the total assholes they obviously are. I’m not surprised that the woman who wore high heels hours after giving birth for the sake of the crown is happy to ride in the backseat so that Mr. No-Sweaty can ride in the front. They don’t HAVE to

One of the theories I’ve seen which could hold some water is that the family cannot completely ice Andrew out due him knowing too much that no one wants sold. Not family stuff but government issues and secrets. In Harry’s case, he doesn’t have that info due to not being around or not having interest. But Andrew has

Especially this one: I suppose the best conclusion is just that the Royals are generally not...good people”

Yup. I think there are plenty of pro-life people, like my mother, who aren’t keen on abortion, but know that abortion is necessary in some situations, like fetal abnormalities, life of the mother, rape, incest, etc. And those pro-lifers are seeing what is happening in states like Texas or Idaho, where abortion is

If these assholes were being honest, they’d stop acting shocked that their highly unpopular theocratic position on abortion gets taken to the woodshed every time voters have a fair shot to decide. I’d like to see them move past that and flat out say that they need to consolidate white power and aggressively suppress

Ah, but the issue of abortion rights shouldn’t be decided democratically, if by that you mean by vote of the people. Having people vote on their fellow citizens’ basic rights is immoral. We do it, yes — for years, the right to gay marriage was decided state by state — but that doesn’t make it just. Eventually such

Oh, please.  The only thing the GOP ever learn from losing is to double-down.  

Huckabee said Republicans have just “done a very pitiful job” of explaining their position.

And they are a shrinking vocal minority. Look, they generally come from 2 demographics.

I live in Ohio and have to say that yes, Republicans actually did do a fantastic job of reframing this awful thing. They made it almost entirely about abortion, but the problem with that is that abortion is no longer the slam-dunk they think it is. It was also extremely blatant misdirection on their part, and people

The problem is that most people aren’t anti-abortion fanatics. Even people I know that wouldn’t personally consider having an abortion still think it should be freely accessible for others. This is going to keep happening because the people that actually want abortion outlawed are just a vocal minority.

In your list of the state-by-state fallout of Dobbs, I didn’t see mention of the 10 year old Ohio girl who had to go across state lines to obtain abortion services. In post-vote interviews I heard, her case was cited as a reason to ensure the Measure 1 failed.

The right have caught themselves in a rhetorical trap of their own making. The evangelical base has been very consistent in their belief that life begins at conception. (Like many Americans, I think this is a ludicrous position, but that’s what they’ve stated over and over.) If that’s your starting point, there is no
