“I don’t want a baby” is as good of a reason to have an abortion as “I am a rape survivor.” Similarly, “I have no desire to procreate” is as good of a reason to take birth control as “I have endometriosis.” It’s an ob/gyn office not a church.
Conservative SCOTUS’ can’t connect all their beliefs because they are all bullshit religious opinions. Right to privacy? Not this time. Freedom from religion? Not this time.
Christofascism is here. ACB proves it
The misogyny of patriarchy.
Trump was against masks because it would mess with his orange make-up.
The right wing has nothing new to offer so they keep trying to scare their viewers, the cult base, with misleading cartoons. It has been pointed out that tRump added nearly 8 trillion to the debt with not a complaint from the right nor care of base. The plans of the Biden administration have been vetted to add to the income of the treasury and the increase the economy unlike tax breaks for the wealthy. When the GOP is running the show, not one Conservative cartoonists brings up “debt, big government (Trump did make the Government bigger during is term), or any “noise” about reckless spending”. And yet this Congress hasn’t come any where near the debt levels created by the GOP sponsored 2017 tax cuts that benefited no one but the wealthy. Now change ‘big government’ to ‘big military’ and see if it flies better. Hugs
Lisa must not have had anything worthwhile to draw to day, so she filled it with this. VPs tend to not do much unless you think of Dick Cheney and his highly profitable manipulation of Shrub. She is perceived as a real threat, that’s while all the attacks. They amount to a good recommendation. The media is already trying to stir up a nomination fight between her and Buttigieg for the ratings they hope to get. It is all about the click, the money, for corporate media. Hugs
Wow the projection is stunning. It has become a game for the right now to just blame everything their side / tRump did on Biden. It is a complete denial of reality. It is kid stuff with the rubber glue chant. Fingers in ears I don’t want to believe you shit. It gets tiring to respond. But I keep trying. Hugs
Here is the comment I left on the cartoon site. Every time I do this I get some clown tRump cult member with limited vocabulary and lack mental agility attacking me with the most tiresome fake right wing media talking points, at least the ones they can remember. Hugs
The unity problem is more the result of unrelenting nonsense attacks by right wing media, often simply made up stuff they know their base will not check. Law and order is actually better as the tRump admin used unidentified illegal squads to kidnap people off the streets who were using their constitutional right to protest. These people were taken to hidden locations, illegally questioned, detained, their items searched with out permission, never charged with a crime and then released often with out their phones or other property. Reporters protected by law and the 1st amendment were attacked and their equipment destroyed all to please the wannabe strongman dictator, tRump. The US has far more world respect now with Biden president than when tRump (also known as TFG, the former guy) was in office. TFG destroyed long running friendships with democracies and tried to start friendships with only authoritarian governments. The world reacted badly to that. The laws and people enforcing the borders have not changed despite Biden and the people want them too. The US is still violating the rights of those seeking refuge status as they did before. We still have freedom and some of us are still sane. Talk about nonsense phrases meaning nothing and everything. And before someone shouts Covid as a loss of freedom fact is the SCOTUS found a century ago the government had a right to enforce health laws / requirements. And lastly fuel prices. Fuel prices started coming down right after TFG approved selling the Saudi’s weaponry that every other US president refused, for good reason. But the Saudi’s put lots of money in both tRump’s and his son-in-law’s pockets so who cares about indiscriminate killing, right. Then came the pandemic with Covid ended a lot of need for fuel, travel mostly stopped, office buildings were empty, prices of fuel fell from lack of demand and over supply. Now that demand is rising and the OPEC nations throttling the supply to make up the profits they lost prices of fuel were rising. That is no more. For the last three weeks fuel prices, the cost per barrel of oil has fallen. If you are not seeing it at the pump it is because of price gouging and profit taking. Facts matter. These are the facts.

Not even close but nice to see the right wing trying hard to demonize those they disagree with. In case you don’t know the story Toobin He exposed himself during a Zoom call with colleagues in what he says was an accident. Toobin claimed “I didn’t think other people could see me,” and it seems that he was masturbating.
People familiar with the matter said that Toobin exposed himself when he began masturbating during the Zoom, apparently as part of a different video call. The people said that they did not believe he intended his colleagues to witness it.
It seemed to me to be an accident he did not intend to expose his sexual activity to others, he was removed from his jobs, he under went reviews and The New Yorker did not find any other forms of misconduct by him during its probe of his 27 years at the magazine.
It is well known that what Chris Cuomo did was completely different. Cuomo did try to deliberately deceive his co-workers, his bosses, and the viewers. He was doing things he knew his contract forbid and were against the company polices. But having said that why is the right wing so upset with Cuomo and Toobin but ignoring the many violations of rules by Fox News hosts? Fox news hosts go on stage at tRump rallies to promote tRump, and have since tRump was president. Cuomo was trying to help his brother, but Fox hosts were doing far more for tRump. When these cartoonist show the same outrage over that I will listen to their fake outrage over CNN. Hugs
This is late because there was not much to post in the morning so I got interested in other things. I made a loaf of bread that came out great. Then I helped Ron make a wonderful meal of rare Roasted Beast, baked potatoes, and broccoli, and hot just baked bread. I would like to add I am not sorry, the meal was great and we had a lot of fun. Also got the laundry done. Be well, many hugs. Scottie
But no pay increase or or other things for the workers. Hugs
It should be noted that the Squad has been leading the charge, using up all their political capital, to enact policies that directly help the poor and working-class. Despite that, they are still labeled "highly educated elites" who don't care about the working-class. 2/
Must be in a third world country where people have to go into debt to finance a university education. Meanwhile USAian students go to university in places like The Sorbonne in Paris, Oxford or Cambridge or Manchester or Edinburgh in the UK and graduate in 4 years and have little to no debt. Hugs
Yes, Bob Dole was a republican and, please remember, when he appeared in the Seate to push for some “handicapped” legislation, he WAS roundly greeted by his “fellow” republicans – but they refused to pass the legislation he wanted. Of course, what’s in the Senate, now, are not really republicans so he should have known better than to try to appeal to them.
By the way, on what he’s shown as tossing away – As a politician, Dole made a habit of carrying a pen in his right hand to prevent others from trying to shake it since he lost the use of his right arm in a war-time injury. Hugs
IMO it’s getting increasingly hard to see a viable path to avoiding prolonged minority rule in America https://t.co/9yK81cNbgb
“People talk a lot about how democracy itself is on the line in the 2022 election. What this misses is that in a number of states majority rule is already a thing of the past in state governments b/c the legislatures are so effectively gerrymandered.” https://t.co/ZBAl6iZJqx

On our left: Hungary, on our right Poland. The hand in the middle belongs to the European Court of Justice’s Advocate General, who has filed and “opinion” that those two right wing countries must follow the rules that they agreed to when joining the union. Or, this cartoonist implies, lose funding. The Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland have all gone backwards on democracy and human rights in recent years. I hope it can be reversed. Hugs
Until viability a zygote / fetus doesn’t anything. It doesn’t and shouldn’t have more rights than the woman it is inside of. I am tired of hearing about the “heartbeat” at a time when the heart is not even developed yet. Too many people have wannabe wishes instead of facts. They claim personhood for the fetus but ignore the personhood of the woman the zygote / fetus is in. They say the fetus has potential, but they ignore the potential of the woman the fetus is in. Hugs
Ergo, Smollett makes all the right wing attacks okay. Smollett did something stupid that will no doubt cause him trouble for the rest of his life. You sure it wasn’t George Soros and Antifa and migrant caravans and Communists and baby-eaters? It is the same old story deflection the Right wing deploys daily. The right wing stands behind their bad actors. Smollett has destroyed his career, unless he becomes a MAGA. Well,if he comes out and pledges his soul to the orange messiah I’m sure Republicans will flock to his defense. I note that Mr Goodwyn, like all the “conservative” cartoonists who have mocked Smollett, have drawn exactly nothing about Donald Kirk Hartle, the Nevada man whose claims that someone had fraudulently voted under the identity of his dead wife were widely touted by Trumpublicans and given a national platform by conservative media — and was arrested for committing the fraud himself. Trumpublicans don’t believe that Hartle did anything bad – by their definition, voter fraud is only bad if they can imagine it being done by Democrats… they also like to point out that voting fraud like Hartle’s proves that the election was tainted and that Trump should be reinstated – even when the only voting fraud they can find was a Republican doing it for Trump…Hugs
This old drunk needs to sober up. To blame this on liberals or even the school is denying reality. The parents gave the kid the gun, bought the ammo, took him shooting inspired his love of guns / shooting and convinced the kid that others deserved to die. Hugs
Though they intended to “reclaim America,” members of Patriot Front had more than enough trouble reclaiming their own ride.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—A group of white supremacists stormed through downtown Washington, D.C. on Saturday evening, bearing American flags and mildly menacing plastic shields while marching to the beat of a snare drum down the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. But after chanting aggressively about their plans to “reclaim America,” their intended show of force stalled spectacularly when they lost their ride.
While the group had marched through the city with threatening chants about their plan to “reclaim America,” by the end of the night it was not even clear how they intended to reclaim their U-Haul.
The rally by more than 100 members of the “Patriot Front” group, held just blocks from the White House, sparked fear among many bystanders and immediately attracted the attention of law enforcement, who shadowed the group to forestall any conflict.
Members wore a uniform: white gaiters, sunglasses, blue jackets, khaki pants, and brown boots and hats. Some donned plastic shinguards, seeming to anticipate violence.
As Patriot Front’s leader Thomas Rousseau spoke beside the Capitol reflecting pool, bystanders booed. Asked about the reason for the march, Rousseau said, “Our demonstrations are an exhibition of our unified capability to organize, to show our strength—not as brawlers or public nuisances, but as men capable of illustrating a message and seeking an America that more closely resembles the interests of its true people.”
At the end of the night, the march ended in a logistical anti-climax. No arrests were made at the Arlington Memorial Bridge, where the demonstration wound down, and D.C. police Lt. Jason Bagshaw told The Daily Beast that the cops, some in riot gear, were on the scene simply “waiting for people to leave.”
That is when it became clear that more than two dozen members of the white supremacist group could not leave, as they were apparently stranded. Members of the group had waited in a one-way roundabout to depart in one of the U-Hauls they had used to transport themselves for the rally. But the large rented moving van could not fit them all, so many of them were forced to wait in 45-degree darkness as the bulky orange vehicle made multiple trips over the course of nearly three hours.
As the group finally departed, one police officer yelled, “Whose shield is that?” after one white supremacist apparently left his plastic shield behind.
Patriot Front was once known as Vanguard America but changed its name after a man affiliated with the group murdered a woman at the notorious Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. Members with military experience often train each other in basic tactics ranging from a protest gear list (Marine Corps-issued combat boots and decontaminate wipes) to hand-to-hand combat. White nationalists like Richard Spencer have hired the group for their own security.

Patriot Front members believe that their ancestors conquered America.
More than a hundred members of the group staged a rally in Washington DC on Saturday to “reclaim America.”
Bystanders booed as their leader Thomas Rousseau gave a speech, reports say.

Some carried flags, shields, and photographs show one banner reading “victory or death.”
Their faces were obscured mainly by sunglasses and white coverings around their noses and mouths.

On Saturday, police closely monitored the scene in case of violence, but the march ended without incident, The Daily Beast reported.
At the end of the protest, two dozen members were stranded as all could not fit in a U-Haul van rented to transport them to and from the rally, The Daily Beast said.
Many waited by the side of the road for hours as the vehicle made several trips, the outlet said.

According to The Anti-Defamation League, Patriot Front members believe that their ancestors conquered America and bequeathed it.
The group espouses “racism, anti-Semitism, and intolerance under the guise of preserving the ethnic and cultural origins of their European ancestors,” the organization said.
Patriot Front broke off from the white nationalist group Vanguard America after the group murdered a woman at the notorious “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017.
Cassie Miller with the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups, told 6abc that Patriot Front is arguably “the leading white supremacist group in the country,” with 42 chapters across the United States.
The group is known for staging “flash” protests and torch demonstrations.
