So I’m “fortunate” enough that I have parents and other close family members that drank the MAGA kool-aid.
Long story short, the usual response is something about how abortion is murder and they will use that as a reason why France is now a “shithole country.”
It blows my mind.

Reposting this with a different source. Here’s the SCOTUS opinion:

Admittedly, if anyone saw my last post, it was hasty. That said, Trump has received the off-ramp he wanted and SCOTUS denied states the right to invoke the 14th amendment.
Vote.

It works out because they’re giving people what they want without having to go all the way and remove the pants altogether. If they remove the players’ pants, it messes up the game because they’ll always start with two balls.
Heyo.

The frustrating part for me right now is that my second grader knows what “lying by omission” means, yet the people who actually like to see stuff like this pretend it’s a foreign concept.

Should…should someone correct her? It’s spelled “communion,” not “cummunion.” I don’t know if she understands.

I saw a comment on Reddit that I unfortunately think is true. If he’s saying something, it’s somewhat coherent, and you see even a single lowercase letter, it means he’s confident and genuinely believes he’s safe.

I’ve gotten a lot of followers lately for some reason.
Y’all ‘bout to be more disappointed in me than my dad was when my sister was with him watching football and I was watching the Powerpuff Girls in the other room.

Literally crying right now. Despite everything…I actually have hope for our future. A future my kids can live in and be happy. Well…my son, at least. My daughters will have to deal.

While I don’t disagree, ideally, the goal of a state government should be to improve the lives of their constituents, not use loopholes to make lives worse. We also all know the GOP would implode if the federal government imposed higher standards, not that the current congress would do that.

KY Republicans are using the same thought process as sovereign citizens by jumping through hoops, using “technicalities,” and finding “loopholes” to justify their insidious bullshit. Sure, the federal government “could” update the wording, but a “reasonable person” knows that they don’t need to.

When studying law, laws are based on the concept of a “reasonable person,” which is a way of saying people can’t twist it by saying “well teeeeechnically…”
In other words, the federal government shouldn’t need to cowtow to something the KY lawmakers know is stupid as fuck.

Are you fucking kidding me? As a bonus, there’s a link at the bottom of this article that talks about Kentucky’s attempts to relax child labor laws.
Again, are you fucking kidding me? I *personally* know people that want this to happen in TN. As always, the cruelty is the point.

I have a daughter named Abby, and she specializes in what I’ve started calling Abbyisms (better name pending).
Wife: “I did something today that I never thought I would do. I got a Dick’s Sporting Goods membership.”
Abby: “MOMMY LIKES DICK’S!”

“…the first priority of the country is our border,” says the man who recently tanked a bipartisan border deal.
I feel like most people reading this are familiar with recent events, but it saddens me how many people in my personal life don’t know what is going on in congress right now.

Absolutely, although I’m happy that her actions were eventually deemed unconstitutional. I’m not entirely sure what happened after that, however.

Glenn Davis really is the worst, and the sad part is that anyone who was paying attention at the time knew exactly what was going to happen. Not only that, it has attracted and boldened multiple copycats who attempted (and fortunately failed) to run for city mayor last year.

Well, if my initial post is misleading, I feel bad about it, and I wish I could edit it to add a footnote or something. I hope people read the comments for clarification.

I hope I’m not sounding argumentative. My hometown elected a wrestler as county mayor who left during a winter storm crisis to attend a Trump rally, and my local school board is trying to close schools. I’m not confident in GOP leadership at all in any level of governance.

Gov. Bill Lee and his administration have been especially set on gutting public education by implementing “small” changes here and there, so when I see something like this, I worry that the next step *will* be the right to refuse any and all “unapproved” marriages

Thank you for the clarification. My main concern, which seems to always be the case in TN, is that something like this is a baby step toward something more nefarious. When Roe v Wade was overturned, people predicted IVF etc. would be next, and here we are in Alabama.

Due to a lack of interesting things to say today, I leave you all with words of wisdom from my daughter when she was 6 years old. I hope it gives you all something to think about tonight.
Daughter: “Ding dong! Texas is a real place! Look it up!”
