Texas Anti-Abortion Shenanigans Backlash

The secret no one is talking about and the reason neither Democrats nor Republicans have codified a law for or against Roe v. Wade in FIVE DECADES is /1 of 5 #TexasAbortionBan
both sides saw a legal victory of their position as a cudgel with which their opponents could beat them in the next election. /2 of 5
By sneaking the Texas anti-abortion law over the Constitutional finish line in the dead of night, all but assuring a national red-state anti-abortion putsch, /3 of 5
the conservative majority of the Supreme Court has handed Democratic Senate, House and State candidates massive 2022 election victories and all but assured Biden a win should he choose to run for re-election in 2024. /4 of 5
Republicans really are the dog that caught the car.

Thanks Supreme Court conservatives! /5 of 5

My take on vaccine hesitancy:
1/ Remember those apocalyptic books and films about killer viruses threatening the survival of humanity? Those stories always end with the discovery of a cure that saves a grateful world. Real life with COVID doesn’t always imitate art. #COVID
2/ None of us have really experienced small pox or polio. Kids today don’t know what it means to get mumps, measles or chicken pox. So the vaccines for those diseases don’t trigger a visceral response, and when our doctor prescribes them, we take them.
3/ Also, their parents and grandparents DO remember suffering through those diseases, so a vaccine seems like a great idea to protect their offspring.

2/ We’ve all are living through the horrors of a COVID pandemic. The lockdowns, the loss of income and security, the illness symptoms, the loss of friends and loved ones, the separations, the clear and present threat of a horrible death.
3/ The threat of the COVID disease triggers the flight reaction in all of us and, for most of us, the vaccine is the solution to getting back to normal. Those who can’t tolerate that flight tension deny the disease is real. That’s another issue.

1/4 The whole American student debt scam was invented as a way to reduce public support for higher education and shift the cost burden of a public good (an educated populace) from the Commons to the individual. It has been a disaster that has stifled economic growth
#StudentDebt
2/4 by creating an entire generation if debt slaves.

Further, access to vitually unlimited Federally supported student debt money has skewed college business models and encouraged higher ed institutions to make bad long term budgeting and pedagogical decisions.
3/4 The need for students to be able to earn money to pay back loans has converted higher education priorities from a search for and transmission of knowledge and truth by means of honed critical thinking skills into a job training operation. Many education institutions,

It’s tempting to go to the fallback position that Trump will never give a concession speech, which is not to say he’ll never concede. In fact, Laurence O’Donnell on MSNBC has suggested that Trump’s past week of silence WAS his concession speech—in which case O’Donnell wins!
However, I disagree with that facile viewpoint. Nor do I believe he will never concede. It isn’t difficult to sleuth out the date and time down to the second when Trump finally cracks. It will be that exact moment that is most beneficial to Trump and conversely most harmful to
Biden and the country as a whole. Let’s think like Trump for a moment. (I know, I know, but I’ll stand drinks all around to help us recover once we’re finished.)

1 of 4/ A note to all Meghan McCain detractors calling for her removal from @TheView:
Whoopi Goldberg and ABC do us all a favor by putting right wing propaganda on display through the vehicle of Meghan McCain.
2 of 4/ McCain is a low-wattage nepotism beneficiary of her daddy’s actual accomplishments whose daily filibustering diatribes are obviously coached by her fascist hubby, Federalist Ben Domenech.
3 of 5: Sure, she is a rude, self-centered, sometimes obnoxious, co-host who interrupts, tries to take over the discussion, deflects from valid criticism of Republicans and Conservatism generally and almost never adds anything of substance to the conversation.

1/ Every billionaire represents a failure of public policy. Billionaires aren’t part of the solution. They are part of the problem.
2/ Let me make my position clear. Economic structures and laws that allow a single unelected, unaccountable individual (or family) sole control over significant national wealth is as foolish and ultimately unproductive as the old hereditary monarchy system of governance.
3/ No one needs a billion dollars to meet their personal needs or to pass on to their heirs. Further, vast inherited wealth corrupts the inheritor by setting them apart from the mass of humanity.
