Really?? Could that actually be a pony under the tree this time??

Imagining someone in a hardcore forced-birth state researching options.

They're interesting and I learn new things. But...

Right now I firmly believe that what Cannon does is driven solely by what powerful people are telling her. If, for instance, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito say she should condemn Biden to burn at the stake as an acolyte of Satan and they can convince her she can make it happen and get away with it, she will so do it.

Because of the debt ceiling, that is. It's mean of me to think like that, I know, but imagine the weeping and wailing and gnashing of MAGA teeth.

Cool idea. Let's ask Barack Obama, George Soros, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Gavin Newsom, Gretchen Whitmer, or Stacy Abrams if they'd be interested in being the monarch.

I'm speculating that they told him they won't uphold a full-on mifepristone prohibition, so he's looking to punt in such a way that doesn't get him reversed but also not lynched by forced-birthers.

The central principle is this: every man will be legally required to contribute financially to every child he has ever sired, full stop. Since life "begins at fertilization", that implies that every man will be retroactively billed for expenses incurred by a woman in pregnancy before the child is tested to know that it is his.

Be a big hit, dontcha think?

...is a smoke screen. I think it's more likely they plan to block any increase in the debt ceiling and thereby drive America's economy (and the world's) right off a cliff.

Much more effective than lighting the Reichstag on fire.
