May I just take a moment to pile on to CNN? This is an actual current headline:
A mother was raising her son in a city she loved. Then San Francisco changed and stole her boy
Really?
San Francisco did that?
Did Mayor Breed stop paying the protection money to CNN, and it is now all “SF is coming to kill your children” stories all the time?
My granddaughter had a miscarriage 3 weeks ago. Twins, early in the pregnancy. Thank goodness she lives in California. If that had happened when she was in Ohio a few weeks prior, I wonder what would have happened.
[Nikki says] she supports a “consensus” decision on abortion, whatever can get 60 votes in the Senate.
So, no leaving it up to the individual states, huh?
I’ve never read story so loaded with bullshit, and frankly it ate however much of my time it took to read it that I’ll never get back. But as we’re learning San Francisco is the epicenter of all that that’s perceived to be wrong in the country. Makes me regret I moved here 50 years ago when we all wore flowers in our hair and dropped acid with Janis in GG. Park.
The entire left coast seems to be one big island of sanity. I’m glad there was a happy ending to what could have been a heartbreaking scenario.
I’m a much later transplant, but I have to say the story of the woman whose son got addicted could happen in any city – scratch that, any locale – in the US.
And the press frenzies over the tech exec who got shot, or the man who was attacked by a homeless person were textbook examples of how a narrative takes hold and then determines the coverage. In the end, the exec was shot by a relative of an employee, and the homeless person was being pepper sprayed by a vigilante (who was probably activated by this exact narrative) – neither of these were examples of the “dangerous random violence” narratives.
Argh.
Loving it…
When does any candidate begin the conversation about vasectomies, and stop all the talk about abortion and women alone being responsible for birth control. Get 'em snipped, fellas, simple, quick, and recovery is fast.
When the majority of your constituency is angry white misogynistic men and you’re a women, you’ve already sold out…
no mention of domestic violence, rape culture or equal pay
I can’t remember the trans issue in sports being on the cover of Ms. magazine constantly, nor do I remember talking about it in high school with my teammates.
Our 24/7 brave new world of reporting is frantic to be the first to cover any given subject and if it involves over the top hyperbole, the better it is. We are very much in a “if it bleeds it leads” brave new junk world of journalism.

I’m pretty sure that if you did ask Harris, Biden, or Elizabeth Warren for that matter if they would support a ban on voluntary abortions at 37-39 weeks, they would say yes. I’m doubtful many doctors would do such a procedure at that point, or indeed that many mothers would get to that point and choose such a path. At that point, you’re going to be talking about situations where it only happens when the life of the child and parent are both at risk. And while that’s a huge tragedy and a horrible situation, you’re really not talking about a voluntary procedure at that point. You’re talking about a medical emergency where there is no option without costs and dangers.
So this is just deflecting BS, obviously. Completely different from the non-hypothetical, immediate, and obvious question of whether the nominee for the GOP supports an extremist, 6 week position.
Haley is a blatant panderer, outdone only by the likes of Mike Dense and Cancun Ted.
Haley hasn’t got a snowball’s chance in hell of winning the nomination so we have suffer through her inane and dangerous droppings for another few months because there are bucks to made by being a prez candidate.
Under the presidential public funding program, eligible presidential candidates receive federal government funds to pay for the qualified expenses of their political campaigns in both the primary and general elections.
“Droppings” 
Show me when any of these jerks supported women’s sports! Equal funding for girls’ & womens’ teams? Equal pay for pro women?
No more concern than they give for women’s health or safety!
Why aren’t we asking McConnell, Schumer, Pence even Biden what they think about sterilizing men through simple surgery (vasectomies) and taking the burden off women to prevent conception?

Melanie lives at Mar-a-Lago!
She is already Walmart Melania, so maybe that makes Casey “Dollar General Melania”?
