Let's not pretend Republicans could give 2 f*ks about abortion as "life." Or you can ask GOP Rep. Scott Desjarlais of TN, who's so "pro-life" he pushed both his wife and mistress--a patient of his--to get abortions usnews.com/news/blogs/was… #RoeVsWade #roevwadeoverturned
You could also ask former "pro-life" GOP Congressman Tim Murphy, who also pressured his mistress to get an abortion he was so devoted to his belief wrt "life." usnews.com/news/politics/… #RoeVWade #roevwadeoverturned
You might also wanna talk to former deputy Republican National Committee Finance Chairman Elliott Broidy, he was also very all life-y except when it came to pressuring the mistress to get an abortion cnn.com/2018/09/08/pol… #RoeVsWadeOverturned
We even just found out a month ago the congressional GOP nominee from Oregon's 6th district is so very anti-abortion except for when it's his ex-girlfriend, for whom he gave $300 and a ride to the clinic americanindependent.com/oregon-republi…
And you wouldn't want to forget RW moral scold Mark Robinson, Lt Governor of North Carolina, who in the past paid for his wife to have an abortion though he thinks you shouldn't have the same rights independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…
And of course we learned recently about big brain Lauren Boebert, who according to Newsweek, via Muckrakers PAC, had 2 abortions. She celebrated the overturning of Roe today, bc Boebert doesn't have to follow any silly rules, those are just for you newsweek.com/lauren-boebert…

That anyone's even debating the legitimacy of this SCOTUS is in & of itself ridiculous. 5 of the 6 RW Justices were put on by a POTUS who LOST the popular vote. Approved by a Senate where their side is represented by millions(?) tens of millions (?) fewer voters. But that CONT
wasn't enough. So they stole a seat from President Obama, not allowing him to put his choice on the Court, and shoved another one on the Court days before an election. Two of them have legit accusations of sexual harassment/abuse in their pasts, 3 were political operatives CONT
They're just Republicans in robes. I mean I laugh every time someone says they have a "philosophy." It's originalism! Ya know, bc what was written about muskets def would apply to ARs. The NY concealed carry ruling was expected but I'll remind you it's pure fantasy, laughed CONT

Not gonna write another long thread on guns rn, just give my personal opinion as someone who's worked closely on the issue for yrs w Everytown, Brady, etc, has written dozens of pieces on the issue & was once a competitive shooter who enjoyed target shooting. Guns are a public 1
health crisis in this country. A pandemic that beyond mass shootings kills via homicide, suicide, accident, negligence every day. Like w all public health crises, be it smoking or drunk driving, the goal is to improve health & reduce death. So AFAIC, if what we've seen so far 2
is offered as legislation, you vote for it. Absolutely. Bc this is about saving lives. And if some states add red flag laws bc they're funded, if there are more background checks on those 18-21, lives will be saved. And it could be someone you love--or you. But I'd be remiss if 3

So tired of this s*t. NYT, Chuck Todd, similar stenographers..look at Chattanooga today, another mass shooting. Can you ask Republicans as part of the job-like thing you do--& I'm not being sarcastic, I want to hear their f*king answers--too many doors in downtown Chattanooga? Or
was it all bc no God in the classroom, no fathers in their homes...was there not enough armed security in downtown Chattanooga & do we now need armed security on every street corner in America?? Can you ask them these questions bc getting these answers (or non-answers) is your
f*king job?? Educating Americans is your f*king job. Explaining to us which leaders stand for what is your f*king job. Or we just move on AGAIN??? Every other high income democracy has solved this by heavily regulating guns. They didn't have to remove a non-existent 3-4 doors

My thread on how we can keep all the guns but stop the killers at the one and only ONE DOOR any building anywhere can ever have for any reason. Start w the old doggy door trap
Then use the ONE AND ONLY DOOR to flame the bad guy w a gun's head
Then we dunk the shelf of paint on em, and hook up the electrodes!

As a reminder we have zero proof—ZERO—gun laws work. You know, if you don’t include Japan, U.K., Belgium, Canada, Iceland, Romania, Norway, Austria, Argentina, Netherlands, South Korea, Italy, Greece, Chile, France, Spain, Sweden, Singapore, Portugal, Israel, Czechia, Denmark,
Taiwan, Switzerland, Poland, Germany, Luxembourg, Malta, Australia, Estonia, Croatia, New Zealand, Ireland, Slovakia, Latvia, Slovenia, San Marino, Andorra, Monaco, Lithuania…ignore all those obv not applicable examples & how, oh how, do we ever figure out this complex puzzle???

My 12-yr old son had a soccer tournie this weekend. He won! Which is awesome. But not why I'm writing this. From the field he played on, this pic below was a view. Just some old crappy building, right? Well, no. This was the site of the first Voice of America station that could
reach the entire world. This was the '40s, so putting a station of this strength off the coasts where Nazi subs couldn't get em, we figured, made sense. Even more sense for it to be in West Chester, OH as we steered the world away from Nazism's evil totalitarian twin: Stalinism.
I thought of this as Rand Paul blocked Ukraine aide using Putin's TPs. And The Great Replacement Theory which caused mass murder in Buffalo, is espoused by Tucker, Trump & many GOP electeds every day. Exactly what that VOA station (now a metropark) was put there to fight--but
