Lawrence O'Donnell just commented on something that we never talk about.

The anti-choice Supreme Court Justices were appointed by George HW Bush, George W Bush and Donald Trump. And it seems very likely that at least one of this ex-Republican presidents has paid for, or somehow taken part in arranging an abortion.

It's been a topic off and on ever since he announced his 2016 run.

He won by 3 million votes. Nothing in OH would have changed that margin much. There has never been any evidence that OH was stolen. I will trust Al Gore on that.

Between the dry drunk frat boy and malignant narcissist there had to have been more than one.

They don't care about that though, and they see no hypocrisy. Those are "women's problems", and why should they care about women's problems? Throw a bunch of money at it and the problem goes away. Easy-peasy.

city of ignoring the rw radio monopoly, the only unique significant advantages republicans have
