just a reminder again to Republicans:
Back in 2016, you could have gone with ANYONE else as a candidate - Jeb, Christie, Rubio, Kasich, Walker, gods help us even Cruz - and you'd have gotten the same amount of culture war BS you get now.
But no. YOU WENT WITH THE BUSINESS FRAUD.
President Carter, after leaving the White House, spent 40-plus years building homes and defending the right to vote. Arguably the greatest post-presidency any man ever lived.

an honest father has to live with the possibility of fighting a son, not out of rage or pride but if only to teach the boy how to choose his battles well.

Scalia stayed on the bench even though it was clear his health had been failing for some time. It wasn't up to Ginsburg to retire. It was up to all of US to vote in a Democrat like Hillary so that when this happened an honorable successor could be appointed.

It's never been about saving the fetus. If it were, you'd see more bills funding pre-natal and post-natal care which we don't see at all.
It's always been about controlling women, limiting their choices, and passing judgment on them.

I hate to be that reply guy, but... the thing about vampirism is that it's a metaphor for the consumption of vitality (Blood, Sex, Soul, and yes Youth). There's a reason why most vampires present as royalty/upper class/rich people, with the victims being poor and young.

trump can whine about his First Amendment rights all he wants - he's facing charges for his ACTIONS, not words - but this is the real attack on the First Amendment: Law enforcement raiding a local newspaper to *cover up* criminal misdeeds. That police chief needs to go to jail.

In 1898 the Spanish-American war ended up with the United States claiming Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines. The US did eventually grant independence to the Philippines but we're still holding Guam and failing to grant statehood to Puerto Rico.
