1. It's a catch 22, one that will only get worse IF the MAGAts get tripartite control of all 3 branches

in 2024 and then attempt to nationalise the christofascism via force.

If the Blue states refuse to go under the christofash whip hand, and the Rethugs do not go full force, then the Red states will start to ignore laws THEY do not agree with. Chaos ensues.

If the Rethugs use force, then you have a the real chance of kinetic violence, plus start to run the real and present danger of Blue state secession, which will also likely entail kinetic violence.

Just a few years ago we were cheering the court for gay marriage and other positives. We will have retirements in the next 4 years for sure.

7. I don't think you'll see retirements unless the same party holds the Senate and WH.

I can't see a vacancy being filled if a different party holds each moving forward.

in KCMO pay no attention to the state stuff. Sometimed we notice if they have done something really insulting and dumb. They are idiots.

I bet if you stopped people on the street and asked they could not name one person in state govt. They might know the name of the governor.

To wear patterned undergarments under white pants. I see it regularly. Also the speed limits are clearly posted and rarely obeyed.

As in times before Roe V Wade, women will find a way. The rich will travel for procedures. The poor will die or be maimed through botched attempts.
