Just HOW can we do that? I do not live in Kentucky, so cannot vote for his opponent…if he even has one. It is the voters in Kentucky who will have to finally rid us of that disgusting turd.

We don’t have to get rid of him we have to let him fully experience the results of his actions. There will be backlash and it will not go away. It will build, it will unite Democrats and it will have the ability to put the GOP on the back bench for a long time.

Thank you, Founding Fathers, for your wisdom in giving two votes for each parcel of land, such that we mere mortals may later worship your great legacy.

Meh. Go fuck yourselves, slaveholding misogynists who merely wanted to replace someone else ruling you with you ruling everyone else. At least Barbados traded Elizabeth for Rihanna.

Q-Tip is a joke as a presidential candidate.

Are the people that wanted to string him up going to vote for him?!

The blue states won’t change anything. I don’t know if the red states have it in them.

If the conservatives think they are going they are socking it to libruls like me with their abortion ban, they are completely mistaken. I any of my daughters gets into a situation of unwanted pregnancy, a solution will be found, if nothing else she will be in the next flight to Amsterdam. It’s the daughters of the bible thumpers down the street, or the woman living in the trailer park that voter GOP because the elites looked down on her, that are going to be vulnerable.

“And I think that’s a really scary thing for women in this country.”

It would be opening the door for accountability to government during every stage of pregnancy.

Good luck, men.

Whether you care about abortion rights, voting rights, climate change, or police reform one thing is clear: the filibuster needs to be reformed and the cudgel of the former rules taken out of the hands of the conservative minority.

I just wanted you to repeat that for our readers…

Republicans are threatening revenge if Dems kill it, but what will they do that they don’t already do when they are in control?

I dunno but things can ALWAYS get worse. They might anyway but they surely will if Republicans regain power.

Yep. They’re whistling in the dark. When the daughter comes to them crying and saying she has a problem, they’ll feel the bottom of their world dropping out. But I’m telling you, the retribution will come from educated women organizing because that’s one of the many things they’re good at.

Conservatives should hate the thought that the”State” can tell you whether or not you must bear a child. After all, once you cede that authority to the State, you have given over control. And a State that tells you that you cannot have an abortion can also tell you that you must.

I expect this to accelerate the decline of fundamentalism and of the fascist party.

I hope you’re right.

My cat is pissed right now!

[chelsea530]

Thank you. My blood started to boil when I saw the headline.

Supreme Court, we said. They either ignored us, accused us of scaremongering, or came up with really stupid reasons why they didn’t support the dem.

Own it. It’s all yours.

Alito concurring

Alito told us corporations have sincerely held religious beliefs. Will he now tell us fetuses have constitutional rights?

Will he now tell us fetuses have constitutional rights?

No.

[trustywoods]

They have until June 22 to decide right?

The increase in the 2012 to 2016 Stein vote exceeded Trump’s margin in Wisconsin and Michigan. The increase in the 2012 to 2016 Stein vote plus the increase in the 2012 to 2016 write-in vote exceeded Trump’s margin in Pennsylvania and Florida.

Yeah, it’s their fault.

[jimtoday]

Of course until that magical day arrives women could always STOP voting GOP, as 40%-45% do in EVERY election.

Now you either believe women don’t care about their right to choose, or they aren’t smart enough to understand that voting for any Republican is a vote against freedom of choice.

I’d never say women aren’t smart enough to understand their votes which leaves us with the stark reality that many women don’t believe women should have the right to choose, and that’s the sad reality.

Have no love for Stein but if HRC had showed up (campaigned) in WI Stein’s she might have won.
Both Gore and Clinton were heavy favorites to win - easily. You can make a strong case against Nader, the Supremes and the media as to why Gore lost (to a complete idiot) but Hillary ran a bad campaign. It’s that simple. To say or imply she doesn’t share in her loss is ridiculous.
