Forcing these unwanted babies will create more problems. In a society that’s hooray for me and fuck you, these kids won’t have a chance.

At least they’ll fill up juvenile halls and jails though.

I hope it drives up turnout. This is an illegitimate Supreme Court erasing laws that have been around for a very long time just because.

The court’s approval, already very low, will sink even further and of course none of them give a shit because of the life time appointments. And the great thing is none of them will have to justify any of this to anyone.

The law of the land is now more religious than ever.

Maybe it's just a bias toward what is generally considered modern history but I feel like this was the birth of the worst kind of politics.

I read a book called the tragedy of Richard Nixon a few years back and there were some endearing things about him. I'm sure it's pretty much the same as any other book about him. He was totally dedicated to his wife. He seemed to be a flawed man like any of us. He seemed to be brilliant in some areas and had blind spots in others.

It just seems like the true beginning of modern day sleaze politics. I remember reading that the Republicans sort of treated the impeachment of Nixon as a favor that should be owed back to them as the years passed by. When they tried to impeach Clinton in the 90s, many of those same people were still around and felt betrayed when the favor wasn't returned. I don't know how many of those people are still around today. But I do believe one of the reasons Republicans wouldn't even consider impeachment of Trump was because of how Democrats handled the impeachment in the 90s. I believe Trump took the sleaze politics of Nixon and ramped it up to the next level.

Maybe I made it up but I want to believe there was a time when trans people weren't the focal point of a political party. Most of the shit that ends up on an agenda or as a talking point is shit I couldn't care less about.

How is moving the goal post? You can’t skip everything that happened in between.

JFK is like William Henry Harrison…he didn’t do much of anything. Until 1963 only a few hundred troops had died in Vietnam unless the statistics I’m looking at are not accurate.

Johnson (a democrat let me remind you) escalated it. Leave it to a Texan.

I still think Reagan is a bunch of extremely conflicting policies….from small government to massive government spending and massive changes to the tax code helping the people at the top. Massive deficit spending but for some reason republicans were all about it then.
