(7,897 posts)I think I saw 3 times as many Brexit headline remarks as those over Orlando. I don't know about the DU dynamics of interest vs. fear vs. those with agendas to drive or obscure discussion vs. the frequency of posting new items but I only saw this headline in the best threads listing, near the bottom of that list, 18 hours after it was posted.
Sunday is my slack day as far as controversy goes and I am getting quite tired of some of the side effects of the as yet unending Primary Season (up to 3 calls to Jury a day since the rule changes) which to say nothing of my own growing contempt for those who continue to insist on party purity without room for real discussion of issues such as this one.
I have watched the slow crawl from the shadows of the vile creatures who enabled the bill at the heart of this case. They have been emboldened for years by the promise of funds unending from the Kochs and others. They have been coached in the structure and the terms of this legislation by the same terrorist coordinators that have been stirring up hatred of LGBT people, Muslims and Liberal thought.
If we cannot have genuine national healthcare how can we set standards nationally for what is correct and unarguable about abortion and reproductive care? This case is an example of what happens when we do not. It seems to me that Congress is far too compromised to act appropriately. Likewise the DOJ has been far too distracted protecting investment bankers and looking for international terror to pursue the apparently more mundane domestic conspiracy of those who would disable Federal government and our access to its services and protections.
In this case women and children and families and men (well some of us at least) are victimized almost as severely as anyone murdered this year by those who claim they are somewhat closer to God. That the abusers find excuse for their fears and their actions in an excess of religious zeal says more than I can about their need to control what and who they cannot tolerate or manipulate.
How many headlines in the MSM has anyone seen about this SCOTUS decision?
