That looks like a guy that would never think to ask women about reproduction.

I want something to snap. Where are the snorts of contempt anytime he opens his mouth to blame others? Where are the chants about how blood is on that administration’s hands? Give me something to echo the outrage I’m feeling.

That reminds me of this from George Carlin. https://youtu.be/YpFYpoIwQec

Jackson was pointing out that the GOP only care about life until birth after that they couldn't possibly care less.

I prefer George Carlin's take on this.

I must admit that I thought Trump 2 was going to be more like Trump 1: hateful, but also messy and dysfunctional. But looks like they're way more organized this time ... which is scary.

This time he has a literal playbook, from the Heritage Foundation.  Yet look how many people didn't bother to Google "Project 2025" until after they voted.

This was posted to FB, just now.

"Felonizes"?  I miss Kingfish too, but he was never intended to be taken seriously & quoted by Senators.

Quoting myself to say, duh, he had their Project 2017 the first time around (he adopted well over half of it), and I think that was just as detailed a playbook.  So that doesn't account for any differences in degree of organization.  This being the second time around?  Musk?  I think a big part of it is knowing you weaken resistance via bombardment, which doesn't relate to organization so much as ramping up the "shock and awe" strategy.  I think the chaos is having more of an impact (which is its point) than the organization.

Turned on the TV, flipped to CNN, and there's been another plane crash, this time in Philadelphia.

I don’t know who that is.  She was saying that anyone who votes against trump, when it comes to immigration, will now be a felon in Tennessee

Yeah, I saw that when I was in the store. I was taking a minute, just to scroll, and a woman’s live video came on. She had just been at the sprouts store, and she was panicking.  Just said it was an explosion.

While we're on this topic, there is news today that is flying under the radar behind the tariffs, Musk's actions and the stock market, but shouldn't be ignored. Also today, in Texas, AG Ken Paxton has filed a civil suit against this same NY doctor.

What was that some out there kept saying about how we were just overreacting and panicking over nothing again? 

We. Literally. Fucking. Warned. Everyone.

I just had to turn off Rachel's show. It's getting too depressing. Things are bad at the FBI. They're going after agents who were a part of any investigations against the Jan. 6th defendants, agents who searched Mar a Lago, agents who investigated Russian involvement with Trump, etc. Also will make public the agents' names. Trump's retribution has begun.

Still waiting to hear how any of this is going to magically solve the problems with inflation and the price of eggs. 

Waiting...waiting...
