Scottie’s world today

None of these abortion laws are written by people who become pregnant. They have no medical background. They have no family planning background.
They have have one goal: force women into submission.
Employers prefer to have everyone on a gig economy. They want workers to work any hours they provide gratefully so the workers have to have multiple jobs and no social lives. Scottie

Misleading right wing media cartoons / memes
So far Biden is doing as well as possible on Ukraine. The problem is right wing media hosts like Tucker Carlson are openly pushing for the US to let Putin do what ever he wants. Just let Russia take Ukraine, who cares, why should we, just let it be they say. Really it stuns me the better dead than red party is now openly Russian supporters. I guess tRump was a great asset for Putin. Well here is why we need to defend Ukraine, it is a democracy, a real one, trying to hold off an authoritarian strongman near dictatorship government run by Putin for his own enrichment. Maybe that is why the Republicans love him. Scottie
Afghanistan was not Biden’s fault, the military did the best they could with what tRump negotiated. Inflation is world wide from a pandemic and the world being shut down. Immigration is fine, we need more not less so no problem. Covid is not Biden’s fault, tRump was president when it hit, Biden got vaccines out to the people, he got the economy going in record time. The US is the only nation to have bounced back so far with a positive growth GDP. The only ones you can lay at Biden’s feet is Voting rights and Build Back Better. Scottie
Are there actually any cities doing this, or is it just another Republican terror meme because there is space that needs to be filled?
Ukraine is a democracy and there was a time when the US proudly stood up to help and protect democracies. That was back when Republicans also felt it was better to be dead than Russian red. I do not want US military to die uselessly in battle that is not for the safety of the US, but also I do not want the US to ignore a Russian take over of other sovereign countries. If the US wants to be a world leader we need to act like we are one and do the hard work. However for those demanding that the US make the first moves that would be the US attacking a country that has not done an illegal action yet. Can not punish a country that has not done the action they need to be punished for. If Putin orders military action on Ukraine then it will be time for the US to respond.
This is what passes for an editorial cartoon from right wing media cartoonist Mike Shelton. Need I even comment?
A misleading right wing attempt to convince people that the Democrats want to let votes be counted long after the election if it would help them. Not true at all. Several states say if the ballot is marked posted by the Postal Service on or before the election day then that ballot will count if received at the elections office after election day. That is common practice, especially with military ballots from over seas. Scottie
Republicans don’t fear injections; they fear the loss of power to ANY majority, as they will never have more than minorities ever again. For the last few decades Republican Party has been basing its appeal and power on The Four Horsemen: Ignorance, Fear, Anger, and Hatred. Just look. The one thing you won’t find is a positive vision for America.
Lots of jobs, lots of growth, companies making record profits. All the stuff Qubs brag about when they’re in office.
GOP congressmen standing in front of their voters and taking credit for the infrastructure plan that’s now starting even if they voted against it. So typical. Let the Dems do the work and wait and see how the public reacts. If the reaction is positive then stand up and take credit. Suddenly it’s we instead of them.

What white right wingers miss, and I think it might be so ingrained that they simply CANNOT see it, is that in some places the cops are more dangerous to regular (black) people than any other gang, Thus making “defund the police” a perfectly apt catch-phrase… IN THOSE PLACES.
The other thing they miss, and I’m a little less sure it’s not on purpose, is that we are asking cops, who are trained at confrontation, to do all kinds of things that they’re not trained for, and in fact may be trained against. In cities where there are social/medical teams who are available to the community WHO ARE NOT COPS, the outcomes are BOTH less expensive AND better than they are in “copy primary” locations.
Police budgets have actually been going up nationwide, even as crime rates have also been going up, and there are numerous bi-partisan bills further increasing police budgets and tactics. So WTF is Lisa doing? Oh yeah. Injecting partisan politics into it, and blaming “progressives”, as usual.
