What Trump and JD Vance have done to Springfield, OH is reminding me of the War between Hamas, Hezbollah and Israel. When I read about the lives of the people, I know that in Israel, Gaza and Lebanon people have had to evacuate where they live and try to get to safety because of bombs. That is not something we should be emulating here in the USA, and I agree 1000% with this lawsuit and have been asking why no one was filing charges, because it is clear that they incited violence. Wish some citizens in DC had done that with Trump and the rest of his cronies over the January 6 attacks. We should all be filing a class action over the trying to steal the election and the election lies.

TFG/PAB and his R cronies are certainly making life more interesting for the American legal profession. Boundaries to wrong, criminally speaking, are being ignored, pulled down, and tossed over a cliff. How much money does this conservative political party, er, billionaire, er, lying sack of shit have to fight legal cases?

Here is a song that came out in 1976. That puts Trump 50 years behind country music.

Put Another Log on the Fire (biggest hit for Tompall & the Glaser Brothers)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32FBXYZdxWE

Put another log on the fire.

Cook me up some bacon and some beans.

And go out to the car and change the tyre.

Wash my socks and sew my old blue jeans.

Come on, baby, you can fill my pipe,

And then go fetch my slippers.

And boil me up another pot of tea.

Then put another log on the fire, babe,

AND COME AND TELL ME WHY YOU'RE LEAVING ME.

Now don't I let you wash the car on Sunday?

Don't I warn you when you're gettin fat?

Ain't I a-gonna take you fishin' with me someday?

Well, a man can't love a woman more than that.

Ain't I always nice to your kid sister?

Don't I take her driving every night?

So, sit here at my feet 'cause I like you when you're sweet,

And you know it ain't feminine to fight.

So, put another log on the fire.

Cook me up some bacon and some beans.

Go out to the car and lift it up and change the tire.

Wash my socks and sew my old blue jeans.

Come on, baby, you can fill my pipe,

And then go fetch my slippers.

And boil me up another pot of tea.

Then put another log on the fire, babe,

And come and tell me why you're leaving me.

Oh I remember this one! I have never cared for country music so I never took this song seriously and missed those sneaky lyrics. Several 70’s songs were misogynistic such as “Witchy Women” by the Eagles and “Brick House” by The Commodores (Lionel Ritchie). Love those groups but we were all indoctrinated back then. Lesley Gore wasn’t having it with her “It’s My Party” in 1963. In retrospect the back lash was already in place in the 70’s. Now that we know better we do better.

That crack about women over 50 is especially galling. Once more, a GOP politician insinuates that women who aren't bearing children are washed-up, useless, second-class citizens who don't deserve a say in public policy.

Are they really unable to comprehend that even if we don't need a right or a service ourselves, we want others to have it? I'm not Black but that doesn't mean I don't want full civil rights for Black people! I'm not gay but I want all gay people to have the same rights and privileges as everyone else!

Usually a Republican can rouse himself to also care about a family member, which is why some R's have seen the light on LGBT rights when a son come out, or support IVF if their wife used it. But women over 50, even Republican women over 50, often have daughters who may be of reproductive age, and such non-fertile women might care about the aspirations, health and lives of such younger female relatives even if, a Republicans, they don't care about the aspirations, health and lives of women who are strangers.

This: I’ve got mine, that’s the driving GOP principle. Republicans are fundamentally incapable of putting themselves in someone else’s shoes.

RIGHT ON! I'm one of those crazy non reproducing women (so are my 82 year old mother, my 68 year old best friend, 81 year old aunt and many others). But I'm not millions of other women with millions of reasons for wanting/needing an abortion and it is not MY place to say what those women should do. If you're anti ABORTION, don't get one. That's your CHOICE.

Lack of empathy and imagination.

The Rs ignore the Mind Your Own Business rule and the "Do for others as you would have them do for you" rule. The Golden Rule. They as a party have become a danger to democracy and they must be stopped. Jeff is in the fight and we're here for it every day.

Imagine if men delivered babies through the heads of their penis, resulting in their penis being split open and then they’re not able to hold their pee the rest of their lives.

Thank you to all the men who support women and women’s rights.

I’ve got new for that asshole Moreno - I am a 77 year old woman and I CARE DEEPLY about the abortion issue because I am not one of those fucking republicans who say “I’ve got mine so fuck you.” I am writing postcards and donating and doing everything I can to elect Harris, even tho I live in a blue state and don’t have to worry about that orange anus winning this state. I hope every woman with 2 or more functioning brain cells votes for Harris, because anything else is absolutely asinine and against your own self interests.

You may not have to worry about orange anus winning your state, but if he takes the presidency, he or his heir-apparent are as likely as not to put through a national abortion ban and perhaps even a "human life" amendment. No woman, over or under 50, is safe if Trump gets back in the White House.

Every time I see the clip of Manchin standing on his Koch toy, I wonder if John Denver is spinning in his grave. I mean, 'Almost Heaven, West Virginia' with Joe Manchin mansplaining is not what he was thinking when he wrote Country Roads. Why would anyone vote for a car salesman for US Senate? That's as bad as a real estate salesman with 6 bankruptcies for president. Kudos to the Haitians for suing their ass. He's moved on to his next target, but be careful, Donald. Nothing runs like a Deere.

Manchin and sinema have lost any credibility. Such losers. Clowns running after the clown car. Haven’t they accrued enough money and power to be dismissed yet?

1. I had a post birth abortion when I was in college….. no, wait, it was when I had a clump of non-viable cells. Zero regrets.

2. Manchin and Sinema gone will truly be a breath of fresh air from their putrid taint. Carve that filibuster like a Thanksgiving turkey.

As a science person, I can never fully grasp how much clumps of cells matter to conservatives, whereas a living, breathing person (woman, hungry child, anyone involved in firearms violence) do not matter in the least. Crazy, backward, illogical, nonsensical are not strong enough words.

Spot on. Even a non-science person who at least had a rudimentary knowledge of how biology works should be able to grasp this.

Oh, yes, it's a facade. They want dominion over women, and reproduction is the biggest and most personal way. Being anti-science and pro-willfully ignorant also bolsters their push to prioritize frozen zygotes and Petri dishes of cells (or Peach Tree dishes per mental deficient MTG) over real people, which of course is batshit crazy. But not to them

They want total control over others. Hence the hatred of cats and seemingly endless revelations about how proud they are of cruelly murdering ‘disobedient’ dogs. Imagine what power abuses they inflict upon kids out of public sight.

They don't care about any of it, they are using a sentimental notion as a weapon. There is no sense or reason to be found because the basic premise, that they actually care about something other than themselves, is false.

The filibuster isn’t part of the constitution. It’s an invented thing by congress to be able to stall legislation, confirmations and any other things.

I think Satan (otherwise knows as McConnell) invented it. It’s way past time for him to go anyway. He’s practically fossilized.
