    Literal actual extremists fill the government and yet when someone says “maybe our tax money should go to pay for healthcare and education” they’re branded an extremist by practically everyone (Republicans, media, centrist Dems) and they rarely make it into government… Actual violent extremists who want to take rights away and literally put people to death get elected and/or placed into government, but people who actually want to help us are deemed “too far left/extreme.”

    I’m sure Ivanka, err, Katie would change her tune if she found herself with a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy. “Rules for thee but not for me”.

      Yep. I’m actually surprised that US prohibition ever ended because apparently it was pretty easy for white peolle to get a prescription “for medicinal purposes,” meaning prohibition was just for poors and blacks. I guess alcohol is big business and the corporations got tired of watching the mob take it all. It’s the only explanation that makes any sense.

      The punchline of the anti-abortion movement has always been them complaining publicly about abortion as a form of eugenics, while obsessing privately about “white erasure” and divine/infernal eugenics privately. So much of the movement is tangled up in militant evangelism to a degree that hitting a pregnant woman with shrapnel during a clinic bombing is seen as divine retribution rather than collateral murder. That’s long before you get into the footsie anti-abortion fanatics and modern zionists play with one another, even as Israel has become a world leader in forced sterilization, population control, and ethnic cleansing through child murder.

    Up until this year, new White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia sat on the advisory board of an organization that calls for women who have abortions to be executed “in the public square,” and for pro-choice Americans to lose their right to hold public office.

    The White Rose Resistance (WRR), where Zacharia sat on the board until February, is best known for its anti-abortion disinformation, harassment campaigns against providers, and for collecting the country’s worst extremists. The group’s national outreach director AJ Hurley, for example, was charged with felony stalking of an abortion provider in San Francisco in 2022. Per his own bio, Hurley is also connected to the woman who was found with multiple fetuses in her home. Good times.

    But to really understand WRR, you need to know its founder and leader Seth Gruber. Gruber—who likes to say that pro-lifers should “make the death penalty great again”—doesn’t believe it’s enough for abortion patients to face murder charges. For ‘equal protection’1 to be a true deterrent, Gruber says women need to be executed “in the public square.” He also argues that pro-choice Americans should not be allowed to hold public office, and that abortion involves “demonic pagan rituals.”

    Well that all seems very normal and reasonable and not insane. At least they’re not calling for everyone to have access to healthcare and education.

      Karoline Leavitt. She was one of the people left behind on Air Force One a few months ago when there was a threat and Trump ducked out the back of the plane hidden in a food truck to board a nearby military helicopter with his other blonde, making Air Force One a decoy target.

      I think she’d only been back to work from maternity leave for maybe a month at this point. But less than 48 hours after the news came out that Trump was never even on the plane and had effectively left her and the rest of the press pool to be shot down in his stead, she suddenly decided she needed to spend more time with her family.

      I only remember it this well because it’s such a heartwarming face-eating leopard story it brings a smirk to my face every time I think of it.

              For myself – and I have nothing to back this, it’s just my personal opinion – it’s because they saw first hand the extent to which Trump is controlled by Putin and possibly even by what specific blackmail, and in a way that demonstrated just how absolutely Putin has zero esteem for anyone else, including Trump himself, and seeing it in person made them afraid.

              Then they came home and drank more orange koolaid and felt better about it the more it receded into the rear-view mirror.

              But that’s just my take.

    So yeah, y’all hear that? If you get pregnant and something goes wrong and the fetus does at any stage, you die too.

    Go fuck yourself bitch. Your whole administration needs to be in jail.

    When you care nothing for others and their lives you can easily condemn someone to death. They are not attracting good and decent people to the job. Quite the opposite.
