Anybody watching the HBO doc on Rolling Stone Magazine?

I am in part 2 about Bill Clinton and how Hunter S. Thompson did not like him at all.

How Bill reacted to a question from a RS reporter "What are you willing to die for as to legislation or this country" and Bill went apeshit on him angry , etc. (the question implied that he was not willing to stand for anything in a big way, I guess)

They pointed out he wasnt the super liberal they hoped he was as to labor, etc.

What I drew from this was yes he wasnt the lefty, per se, I would have wanted either were I to have my choice, but you know who was?

Obviously Bill was better than any 200 republicans combined and overall a very very good president.

When someone works to get people not to vote or vote 3rd party,

that person should be shunned by patriots.

Question for our lawyers, Roe v Wade is protected somewhat in lower courts by

precedent, please tell us how that protection could go by the wayside and Roe could find itself in front of the SC within a year, lets say.

Question for our lawyers, after the new SC reverses Roe V Wade next fall,

what would have to happen to make abortion illegal nationwide?

A bill from Congress?

Can a sitting president sign an EO to that effect once Roe is reversed or vacated or whatever it is called?


The reason I saw NEW SC is the rumor that Kennedy is retiring, now if he doesnt and assuming he votes to preserve Roe, then who else might die or retire?


The point, isnt it, is that we should not have to talk about this, should we. Had people not whined incessantly about Hillary, that is.

SC Justice Kennedy to retire this summer, is the rumor.

If true, because people had to HOLD THEIR NOSES and whine like LITTLE ASSHOLES it will no longer be a woman's body, it will be THE GOP'S body to decide what women can do with it.

God fucking dammit this shit makes me angry.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS FUCKING MEANS?


edit: Yes it seems he has hired law clerks, great news. Better news would be if people had not whined, bitched and moaned about Hillary for two solid years even the Russians couldnt have stolen the election and we wouldnt have to worry about it in the first place.

How many millions of our citizens aged 18-30 have bought the

bullshit lie that both parties are so similar they are virtually the same?

I know who told them that, and they still listen to that person, so I wonder what the FRIGHTENING number is, any guesses?

As I said the other day, the trade war will be devastating for the American people

and in more ways than one.

As Rachel is now reporting, this will not only harm all of us economically but if you thought the rest of the world was gonna have to teach us a lesson before, this is making it an absolute necessity it seems.

This benefits Putin, his name is all over it.

Trump and anyone who supports him is a traitor.
