Been thinking about this song a lot lately for...some reason.

Okay, this is funny...

Sorry, but I'm going to repost this...

I have a chromosome abnormality. It runs in my family who all live in Texas. This decision is going to directly affect my family! It could kill people I love. This is not a hypothetical situation.

Marjorie Taylor Greene finally asked POINT BLANK if she requested a pardon

I keep thinking about Jim Jordan's memory loss

compared with Hutchinson's excellent recall of the whole day. Guess she's just smarter than him.

In the old days...

When a woman was having a difficult delivery to the point where doctors had to decide whether to save EITHER the woman or the baby, they would go out to the waiting room and ask the husband/father which he preferred for them to save.

My guess is that the Handmaids' Five on SCOTUS don't see a problem with this.

This needs to be the scene now at every high school football game.

I'm gonna have a lot fewer "friends" after today.

I have NEVER been political on facebook. Most of my friends from high school are hard core right wingers (I grew up in Louie Gohmert's district), and I never had the motivation or will to start arguing with them on facebook. Honestly I rarely even read facebook anymore.

But today I checked in for some reason, and just lost it. So far I've done angry rants against

1. The gun shit
2. The "pro-life" shit, and
3. The "price of gas" shit

I might set a record for the most "unfriends" today. Think I'll go get some champagne.

Is it a citizen?

Sorry it this has already been posted here. I've been away for a couple of days.

Just a rant

THIS is why you don’t fucking torture prisoners, goddammit!

Vlad says the Geneva Conventions don’t apply to Americans fighting in Ukraine because
a) this isn’t a war?
b) they’re not “really” soldiers?
c) whatever Vlad says is the god’s honest truth so shut the fuck up.

Yeah. C. Definitely C.

And all I can think of is the excuses that W’s administration made when the U.S. was “caught” torturing prisoners after we illegally invaded Iraq.

a) but they’re terrorists!
b) what if there’s a ticking bomb somewhere?
c) whatever W (i.e. Cheney) says is the god’s honest truth so shut the fuck up.

We have no moral high ground here. Our government has blatantly ignored international law for decades, and now our citizens (and innocent civilians all over the world) pay the price. The Geneva Conventions are now meaningless. Dictators, um, dictate the rules of engagement with civilians and prisoners, so rape, theft, indiscriminate murder of children…yeah whatever.

We let fucking CHILDREN run around our own country with AR-15’s murdering anyone in their path.

We detain black and brown people at hugely disproportionate rates, and sometimes allow cops to execute them with no consequences whatsoever.

We throw others into concentration camps on the southern border—silently, so no one will make a fuss.

We are slaves to corporate greed because…socialism is scary?! WTF?!

And we claim to do it all in the name of…what? Christianity? Patriotism? Safety? Freedumb?

People don’t understand how Russian citizens can “allow” their government to behave so callously against Ukraine.

Sigh.
