@@cerebrumexcrement lol that's fair. I agree with how he framed the discussion. I wrote a similar essay on Facebook yesterday. People really need to get serious about taking action, even when it's a little wobbly
My mother told me yesterday that when she was young every town had that one big, secluded house where everyone knew girls could go to “take care of it”. Everyone knew, but nobody talked about it. Police knew, but many had girlfriends who had “visited” that house too. She thinks things will immediately go back to that way. She doesn’t remember any rumors of anyone dying from it. But she remembers many young wives who died from giving birth. Babies born with downs or other forms of mental retardation or severe physical abnormalities (even adhd) were sent to state hospitals and lived there their whole lives. In the 90s they closed all the state hospitals and placed clients in group homes, then into their own homes with 24 hr. care. So basically, republicans want to force births but cut any aid for severely disabled babies. They don’t know the mess they’re making.
Some people sure like to have power over others.. and make them suffer! Fascisme on the rise in the us.. how sad.. apparently they want what the germans went through..
I feel exactly the same, and the abortion issue is not a Democrat or Republican issue. It's become that because the Republicans have made it that. It's a personal issue between a woman and a doctor. Why are they making us feel like we don't know enough about ourselves and they are making a blanket general decision for all women. We are all different. There is not one rule for all of us.
Better vote to have the right to vote again. Vote for democracy. Our Dems don’t get off their butts and vote it’s on us. Black woman voted and gave us Georgia they did that. Now all women need to vote. We need to unite
Too bad the country had to come to this for people who are moderate or lean left to finally see how important it is to pay attention and VOTE. This didn't happen overnight. 2010 the Liberals didn't come out for the midterms. The tea party did and we lost the house and Senate. That resulted in Moscow Mitch preventing Obama's SCOTUS pick. And what happened in 2015? It didn't happen overnight and it will not reverse overnight.
I agree. Dems didn’t vote. Republicans have horrible messaging-fear hate misinformation own the libs. And they still vote. They want things passed vote more Dems in and we won’t need Manchin or Sinema. So many do not understand that. Local voting matters.
Sadly no, but our hope is that the young get a clue before its too late. Roe will affect a lot of young people, i hope this is the start of the writing on the wall for them!
My personal opinion is that my personal stance or yours on abortion is immaterial, this is about the rights of adult human beings to make a decision on their own life. No one else can walk in their shoes. That is the right that was just taken away.
Exactly- every time people focus on abortion it makes me want to scream. It’s not about abortion- it’s about women having the ability to control the trajectory of their lives and make basic healthcare decisions regarding their own bodies. This is very basic fundamental human rights. Abortion is just the emotional trigger point.
We should have seen this coming and established new amendments to the constitution that guaranteed these rights and others that are going to be under threat. We allowed reinterpretation of the current amendments to make us feel safe about our rights - when it was obvious that the Republicans would overturn those rights if they packed the Supreme court.
"Packed the court "? They didn't have to pack the court, but this is what Biden should have done after Trump force Amy Cohen Barrett on to the court. But the moderate Dems are weak and are the problem and the cause.
Also, the Democratic party politicians have to come together and stop with the posturing and complaining about what they didn't get. They allowed the Repúblicans to stab the American people.
@@Thezuule1 When? When was the time we would have been able to get something passed? We have so many obstructionists in the Senate, they wouldn't even pass the Windfall Tax bill to get us lower prices on gas. I would just like to know what, exactly is their plan to lower them? Because I haven't heard any remedies coming from that side of the aisle.
The 9th amendment and 14th already protect our reproductive rights. What they've done is blatant bullsh*t which they can use as precedence to trample on anything they want to from here on out
Call it for what it is.....religion Why can't ANY POLITICIAN SAY IT?! Where's the voice for the large portion of Americans that don't believe in religion or these religious ideas! This is not a Christian country!
Donald Trump didn't make the Republican party this way! He just saw what others didn't want to see and took advantage of it! He is a con artist and charlatin but there are even worse evils among the Republicans than him and a few among the Democrats. We need to work on changing campaign rules so that money and lies play a smaller part and facts dominate. If we have time, which I fear we may be out of.
@@loisenochs4562 on the surface that sounds good but when u look at how private business are run vs say the DMV it proves the government can run anything right
A german viewer here (thank God). I think Dems have to take their gloves off and press Reps on all of the following topics: children need free healthcare, free education. Pregnant women need free healthcare and paid paternity leave. Contraceptives must be free. And having kids must be positive - tax cuts, tax child support, rebates on activites. Reps have to turn around 180 degrees to back their claims that childs lives matter (more). CLM so to speak.
And also laws should be passed that holds the father responsible for the child. Medical costs, education, living costs -- all the costs a father normally assumes for his child.
There isn't guaranteed paid maternity leave in America let alone paternity leave. The GOP want to force women in their states to give birth to future GOP voters and provide their funders with future low paid workers.
@Hattie Lankford If they exist, they should be enforced. I suspect they don't exist in every state. It should be a federal law. If they did that there's no question unwanted pregnancies would drop significantly.
An almost perfect interview, with almost perfect perfect responses and advice. Keep up the great work! Remember, "It's NOT the party, it's the people!"
The democrats are not doing anything to maintain the support from their supporters , leaving the reaction to their supporters is just not enough , time they get aggressive and show some clearer intentions as to their agendas .
Aggression without a clearly defined goal that can be achieved does us no good. Let's be more deliberate in our actions and focus on what we as voters can control.
Now is not the time to be picky. That’s true but I would add that republicans power comes by way of dark money and corporations that have unlimited funds. Many Dems don’t take corporate money because they believe in government for and by the people. It’s hard to go up against corporate puppets with grassroots donations. Infighting splits us and gives them more power. United we (must) stand!!!
Unfortunately the democrats ( I am a democrat) had so many opportunities to codify roe. I have lost faith in both Republicans and Democrats. Until we have leaders that will put the country above their own self interest, we are screwed.
Joe Biden is doing more in such a small time, than that Orange Idiot did in all those years as he milked his stupid supporters of billions, and let so many die of Covid.. Two more votes in the Senate. Vote vote vote.
Yeah but. 21 States whose total population is less than California have *42* (out of 100) Senate seats. The minority has a HUGE power advantage. It won't be easy.
@Paul, they want to privatized that free part. If politicians dressed like Nascar; maybe we could make them pay for their insolent, and subversion of our democracy!
If Biden spoke up via social media, normal media, newspapers, any and every way possible - if he did that just 1/10th as much as small-hands did, we’d hear from him 100 times more than we are. Trump never hesitated to take action. The wrong action, but he did things. Biden just needs to do something, and start with student debt. That is such as easy win.

Dems can't get anything passed because there are enough gop in Congress and Senate to stop anything from passing. Dems need enough people in Congress and Senate to have the 2/3 majority to pass bills regardless of how gop votes. We voters have only gone part of the say.
Please pay attention. Democrats are fighting the good fight, always have been, unfortunately too many voters just sat home and allowed more ReTrumplicans to retain & take seats in Congress where our laws are made and wrongs are righted. We must have a majority in the house & senate and that takes participation in VOTING. Make America SANE.
I would agree except for the fact that Dems and independents do not seem to vote as regularly as Reps do. I am tired of voting for the "lesser of two evils", but will continue to do so until the GQP is no longer a viable party

We need to get politics out of the selection process. Great Britain puts judges on their Supreme Court based on merit. We MUST change the system. This decision was/is horrendous.

Wait until the absent fathers of those unwanted pregnancies start getting the paternity lawsuits and being expected to admit to and fund their unwanted children. Got to remember it was easy to avoid responsibility prior to DNA testing.

I agree with the congresswoman who suggests that the male partner of an unplanned pregnancy needs to take financial responsibility for their part in the situation, and she has a list of ideas
Biden won't go along, unfortunately. That's why we need a new candidate for 2024. He won't even consider expanding the Supreme Court and that's a deal breaker for me. Same thing with the filibuster.
Interesting point; some people seem to expect perfection in a POTUS. It's ridiculously unreasonable - no POTUS ever was a 'godlike' king (not even the crazy insecure one who wants to be worshipped forever). We still have to hold them and congress people accountable for their actions. At very least, they shouldn't be condoning cruel or impossible standards on us constituents.

My mother told me yesterday that when she was young every town had that one big, secluded house where everyone knew girls could go to “take care of it”. Everyone knew, but nobody talked about it. Police knew, but many had girlfriends who had “visited” that house too.
She thinks things will immediately go back to that way. She doesn’t remember any rumors of anyone dying from it. But she remembers many young wives who died from giving birth.
Babies born with downs or other forms of mental retardation or severe physical abnormalities (even adhd) were sent to state hospitals and lived there their whole lives. In the 90s they closed all the state hospitals and placed clients in group homes, then into their own homes with 24 hr. care.
So basically, republicans want to force births but cut any aid for severely disabled babies. They don’t know the mess they’re making.
Even worse, they don't care and get off on doung evil harmful things to those of us less fortunate. They are sick SOB's.
Yes they do I think they enjoy the cruelty and misery
They. Don't. Care. Cruelty is the point.
Some people sure like to have power over others.. and make them suffer! Fascisme on the rise in the us.. how sad.. apparently they want what the germans went through..
They do. They don't care.
This has made me feel physically sick how dare them
I feel exactly the same, and the abortion issue is not a Democrat or Republican issue. It's become that because the Republicans have made it that. It's a personal issue between a woman and a doctor. Why are they making us feel like we don't know enough about ourselves and they are making a blanket general decision for all women. We are all different. There is not one rule for all of us.
I refuse to live in a theocracy.
Indeed and an autocracy too 😠
I'd almost like to thank the SCOTUS for seriously motivating another Blue Wave in November.
Blue wave with gerrymandering ?
I'll believe that when I see it.
let's make it a TRUE Blue Tsunami
Better vote to have the right to vote again. Vote for democracy. Our Dems don’t get off their butts and vote it’s on us. Black woman voted and gave us Georgia they did that. Now all women need to vote. We need to unite
I hope so! More need to wake up to the threat of repuglican rule
We cannot stand for this that’s the reason this year I’m definitely going to vote 🗳
Overturning roe v wade guarantees my vote for the Republicans in 2022 and 2024
Yep, they can make it as hard to vote as possible. I'll wait outside all day if it means they get the boot.
"Maya" joined ONE week ago.
@@Maya-iv2rw Why?
:D Yay!
Too bad the country had to come to this for people who are moderate or lean left to finally see how important it is to pay attention and VOTE. This didn't happen overnight. 2010 the Liberals didn't come out for the midterms. The tea party did and we lost the house and Senate. That resulted in Moscow Mitch preventing Obama's SCOTUS pick. And what happened in 2015?
It didn't happen overnight and it will not reverse overnight.
I agree. Dems didn’t vote. Republicans have horrible messaging-fear hate misinformation own the libs. And they still vote. They want things passed vote more Dems in and we won’t need Manchin or Sinema. So many do not understand that. Local voting matters.
Sadly no, but our hope is that the young get a clue before its too late. Roe will affect a lot of young people, i hope this is the start of the writing on the wall for them!
My personal opinion is that my personal stance or yours on abortion is immaterial, this is about the rights of adult human beings to make a decision on their own life. No one else can walk in their shoes. That is the right that was just taken away.
Exactly
This should be covered under medical privacy i dont get it
Exactly- every time people focus on abortion it makes me want to scream. It’s not about abortion- it’s about women having the ability to control the trajectory of their lives and make basic healthcare decisions regarding their own bodies. This is very basic fundamental human rights. Abortion is just the emotional trigger point.
We should have seen this coming and established new amendments to the constitution that guaranteed these rights and others that are going to be under threat. We allowed reinterpretation of the current amendments to make us feel safe about our rights - when it was obvious that the Republicans would overturn those rights if they packed the Supreme court.
"Packed the court "? They didn't have to pack the court, but this is what Biden should have done after Trump force Amy Cohen Barrett on to the court. But the moderate Dems are weak and are the problem and the cause.
Well anyone could have seen this coming for DECADES and they did nothing..
Also, the Democratic party politicians have to come together and stop with the posturing and complaining about what they didn't get. They allowed the Repúblicans to stab the American people.
@@Thezuule1 When? When was the time we would have been able to get something passed? We have so many obstructionists in the Senate, they wouldn't even pass the Windfall Tax bill to get us lower prices on gas. I would just like to know what, exactly is their plan to lower them? Because I haven't heard any remedies coming from that side of the aisle.
The 9th amendment and 14th already protect our reproductive rights. What they've done is blatant bullsh*t which they can use as precedence to trample on anything they want to from here on out
Call it for what it is.....religion
Why can't ANY POLITICIAN SAY IT?!
Where's the voice for the large portion of Americans that don't believe in religion or these religious ideas! This is not a Christian country!
"trump is out of office but his awfullness lingers on ...
he's like a fart with bad hair" ... Bill Maher nailed it!
Or maybe he's a hairy fart? LOL, I had a hard time typing that small sentence.
“Fart with bad hair”😂😂😂😂😂😂
Donald Trump didn't make the Republican party this way! He just saw what others didn't want to see and took advantage of it! He is a con artist and charlatin but there are even worse evils among the Republicans than him and a few among the Democrats. We need to work on changing campaign rules so that money and lies play a smaller part and facts dominate. If we have time, which I fear we may be out of.
I don't usually like Bill Maher, but he got this one.
No he just opened a door that told the GOP they can do whatever they want
Interesting that Clarence Thomas didn't include inter-racial marriage in his litany of items to "correct", isn't it?
Give him time. He will...But naturally these laws won't apply to any of them
😆😆😂🤣
Brian...your podcast is great!
Sucks*
We are going though some very scary times
He should ban private prisons
@@loisenochs4562 on the surface that sounds good but when u look at how private business are run vs say the DMV it proves the government can run anything right
A german viewer here (thank God). I think Dems have to take their gloves off and press Reps on all of the following topics: children need free healthcare, free education. Pregnant women need free healthcare and paid paternity leave. Contraceptives must be free. And having kids must be positive - tax cuts, tax child support, rebates on activites.
Reps have to turn around 180 degrees to back their claims that childs lives matter (more). CLM so to speak.
I want to add "Children should not fear going to school, their classroom should be a place of peace and safety"
And also laws should be passed that holds the father responsible for the child. Medical costs, education, living costs -- all the costs a father normally assumes for his child.
There isn't guaranteed paid maternity leave in America let alone paternity leave. The GOP want to force women in their states to give birth to future GOP voters and provide their funders with future low paid workers.
@Hattie Lankford If they exist, they should be enforced. I suspect they don't exist in every state. It should be a federal law. If they did that there's no question unwanted pregnancies would drop significantly.
As a woman, I keep finding new feelings, lol. I go from anger to outrage to just being dumbfounded. I feel a lot right now 🤔😒🤨🙁😟😳🥺😠😤
Great job Brian. What a good guest. Please, it is so important now, vote blue.
Brian..we need to begin an Offensive defense. Hold them accountable!!!!!!! IMPRISON TRUMP!!!!!!!
I've always voted, in every election and still here we are. I'm not only a second class citizen but I'm so discouraged.
Please don't..That's part of their plan..
Keep voting, the more of us on the correct side votes its better for us all.
Republicans been rigging the elections for years that's why they keep winning . They know how to cheat and get away with it.
We can be discouraged together.

This guest was so good. Great job Tyler.
This young man is a brilliant person.
*Brian
An almost perfect interview, with almost perfect perfect responses and advice.
Keep up the great work!
Remember, "It's NOT the party, it's the people!"
The democrats are not doing anything to maintain the support from their supporters , leaving the reaction to their supporters is just not enough , time they get aggressive and show some clearer intentions as to their agendas .
MSM does not help!! Not enough truth! Not enough calling out lies & liars! And F religion!!!
I agree. Get out the Democrat Leaders.
Aggression without a clearly defined goal that can be achieved does us no good. Let's be more deliberate in our actions and focus on what we as voters can control.
I totally agree they not aggressive enough 😠
Now is not the time to be picky. That’s true but I would add that republicans power comes by way of dark money and corporations that have unlimited funds. Many Dems don’t take corporate money because they believe in government for and by the people. It’s hard to go up against corporate puppets with grassroots donations. Infighting splits us and gives them more power. United we (must) stand!!!
Unfortunately the democrats ( I am a democrat) had so many opportunities to codify roe. I have lost faith in both Republicans and Democrats. Until we have leaders that will put the country above their own self interest, we are screwed.
Agreed 💯
I am not sure Democrats ever had a super majority in both houses that would HAVE allowed this. What years could we have done it?
@@risareen 2009 to 2011
Joe Biden is doing more in such a small time, than that Orange Idiot did in all those years as he milked his stupid supporters of billions, and let so many die of Covid.. Two more votes in the Senate. Vote vote vote.
Yeah but. 21 States whose total population is less than California have *42* (out of 100) Senate seats.
The minority has a HUGE power advantage.
It won't be easy.
@Hattie Lankford More democracy would be nice. Something a little more representative of the country as a whole.
go to the booth and vote Democrat
The land of the Free? I beg to differ.....
Every life deserves the freedom to not be killed.
@Paul, they want to privatized that free part. If politicians dressed like Nascar; maybe we could make them pay for their insolent, and subversion of our democracy!
@@Maya-iv2rw so allow that right for the woman in danger of dying because of the pregnancy.
@@Maya-iv2rw OK Russian bot with a 1week old account.
If Biden spoke up via social media, normal media, newspapers, any and every way possible - if he did that just 1/10th as much as small-hands did, we’d hear from him 100 times more than we are. Trump never hesitated to take action. The wrong action, but he did things. Biden just needs to do something, and start with student debt. That is such as easy win.
“Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Liberty and Happiness left the building. Now we are left with Life according to the Conservative way of rule.

“My body, my choice.” Except for the unborn
@@Maya-iv2rw @Maya Troll account, just keep reporting this piece of excrement from the chat.
@@Maya-iv2rw the unborn are not more important! An ectopic pregnancy is not viable in any case but these laws don’t allow for termination so mom dies ! How in the hell is that pro life?
I am really getting sick and tired of us, voters, being blamed for the lack of actions from the democrats, by stating we need to go out and vote. We have done that, we voted and voted for democrats. Tired of them not fighting for us and then stating we need to do more.
Dems can't get anything passed because there are enough gop in Congress and Senate to stop anything from passing. Dems need enough people in Congress and Senate to have the 2/3 majority to pass bills regardless of how gop votes. We voters have only gone part of the say.
The main thing is not to vote for fascists.
Please pay attention. Democrats are fighting the good fight, always have been, unfortunately too many voters just sat home and allowed more ReTrumplicans to retain & take seats in Congress where our laws are made and wrongs are righted. We must have a majority in the house & senate and that takes participation in VOTING. Make America SANE.
Well said Heather!
I would agree except for the fact that Dems and independents do not seem to vote as regularly as Reps do. I am tired of voting for the "lesser of two evils", but will continue to do so until the GQP is no longer a viable party
I wouldn’t say two more seats in the Senate I would say like four because Manchin has to go whenever his time is up and so does Sinema!
Congressman Gallego is going to primary TF out of Sinema - and beat her, before he goes on to win in the general 👏🏽👏🏽
Manchin is virtually a Republican.
Manchins a tough one because West Virginia does not take kindly to Dems. I have no idea who could possibly primary him and win.
Love Lovitt!! He and the other Pod guys are SO in tune with the times! Great influencers!! And Ronan too!!

Really good podcast!great job Brian 👍
"things can get better or things can get worse"... jumps out to me as a very strong message.
What is Clarence Thomas going to do when they decide mixed race marriage is on the chopping block.
Indeed his marriage would be on the chopping block too 😄👍
Thomas is so mess up that I would not be surprise if he wrote the majority opinion overturning Loving v Virginia
He doesn't seem to have thought that far ahead. Either that or he's secretly yearning for a divorce...but soon the right to divorce will be on the chopping block too if he continues down this path.
Some people prefer to side with those in power ( proximity to power) rather than the side that is in their own best interest.
@@sands7779 That is so well said. Slaves used to compete for the favours of the oppressor. Women still do it to each other.

No Lie is frequently a serious and sober podcast. So fun to see BTC chuckling it up with Lovett! I came gravity, stayed for the (unexpected) levity.
What are the financial and mental costs of unwanted pregnancies, babies as they go to/thru adulthood and their lives as damaged humans for the most part? Who's going to pay for all of that, and how much will the current costs escalate? The SCOTUS is going to destroy everything.

Could it be interpreted that only a “well regulated militia” has the right to bear arms?
Could it subsequently be argued that a “well regulated militia” has a more modern definition as “private military contractor”?
@@damongnojek3912 No, the way it's worded it's explicitly a right given to states. As a matter of fact, the entire thing is in reference to states rights not citizen rights.
@@KageSama19 ya. That’s what the losers of the civil war said.
Those ARE the words in the constitution, so maybe if we READ it, we could arrive at that as the meaning!! Geez Louise WHY is this so hard??
@@samanthamariefreeman335 Because the Constitution is always being interpreted, even by constitutional scholars and lawyers. Times have changed and the way the Constitution applies to the culture and society now is why the written words are not taken literally anymore.

The trouble with voters everywhere they all vote against their best interests!!!
THISSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how do we get them to ignore the wording that pulls them into fascism and bigotry??! They don't even care about voting against their rights sometimes even when they acknowledge it! UGH
Or don't vote at all.
When they vote
Thats clear .The economy was awesome under Trump and people didnt like mean tweets so they went against their own interests and voted potato in. Go woke, go broke.
Women sure did in 2016 , now it will haunt them in half the country .
Brilliant! Loved this podcast so much.
One can't help but think that this is all retaliation for the Jan.6, committee findings.
this has been part of the Republicans plan for decades
Or a distraction from it.
It is a possibility Wouldn't put anything past the Republicans and tRump. It's a distraction to make people look away from the insurrection and how awful those Republicans and tRump truly are!
Smart they came up with a "surprise" witness when they did after ROE 2022 ...
One positive to come out of this: the first post-Roe reversal polls show a clear shift in favor of Democrats.
Excellent, eye-opening discussion….please continue to express these views! We need hope! We need to know who is doing and not doing what!
Time to expand the Supreme Court numbers
Indeed more Dem appointed Judges 💙🙏👍😊
That we won’t see , as the Democrats don’t have that on their agenda , plus they won’t get the support from their own people in the senate , think back , if they had support this may not have happened , think manchin ,and sinema , things start going off course with them not throwing support behind removing the filibuster .
These are fantastic ideas and how can we get them to be bold and get these messages out?
We need to get politics out of the selection process. Great Britain puts judges on their Supreme Court based on merit. We MUST change the system. This decision was/is horrendous. Now, I'm nearly 62 years old. I will likely never live to see the changes made that are necessary to reverse this and other horrible decisions this Court has made and will make; it will probably take decades....
WHERE are the men who will stand up to defend their women?? This is an attack on many husbands' wives. Where are those husbands??
Wait until the absent fathers of those unwanted pregnancies start getting the paternity lawsuits and being expected to admit to and fund their unwanted children. Got to remember it was easy to avoid responsibility prior to DNA testing.
They're out there!! I've heard from some of them at home and online, and have seen them in podcasts and at marches. :-)
Why aren't Democrats working on removing Clarence Thomas from the bench? If this was reverse and Thomas was a Democrat, he would be immediately removed. Unfortunately, Republicans know how to play the game.
GREAT GUEST ! ! !
DUDE NEEDS TO BE SETTING THE MESSAGING FOR DEMS NOW ! ! !
AMEN Sir !!! Vote Blue
💙👍🙏😄
And register to vote!
Crazy how they can take something sealed and done, and change it for the hell of it
Jon is a good speaker and tells my feelings!
The American people really need to stand up because we are not in Russia and we the American people will not let the Republican oligarch take our right away we really need to look at their finances
Today's Republicans do not view Russia as a hostile power. They view it as a role model.
VOTE!!!!! VOTE!!!!!!!
Jon Lovett…Long Island in the house! I’m limited in my abilities but I’ll see what I can do. Great interview guys🎙
I better not hear a SINGLE DCCC leader tell us we need to vote in pro choice candidates, when they propped up anti choice Cuellar and told Jessica Cisneros to GFH.
We don't even have care in this country Bernie 2024 it's time
Bernie Sanders?? Seriously??
Tired of mostly old white men dictating my future in this country😔
Fantastic interview.👍✌❤
That actually makes me wonder, just how many jobs would be lost by a decision like this?
Remember the Republicans don’t give a fuck!
Great point
Women losing their jobs, then trying to find one that has healthcare and childcare. Also gals spending money to fly or drive to another state for an abortion, all for a handful of stoodge repug judges. The lives of the many in the hands of just a few...its just not right!
Great interview 👍🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I agree with the congresswoman who suggests that the male partner of an unplanned pregnancy needs to take financial responsibility for their part in the situation, and she has a list of ideas
Kudos very well said.
How can we motivate our Democratic leaders to get these messages out? I want to know!
Younger adults protest and then many of them don’t vote or get involved afterward. Now is the time to get very involved!
Biden won't go along, unfortunately. That's why we need a new candidate for 2024. He won't even consider expanding the Supreme Court and that's a deal breaker for me. Same thing with the filibuster.
According to 'justice' Thomas, interracial marriage is on the chopping block!
Go figure.
Interesting point; some people seem to expect perfection in a POTUS. It's ridiculously unreasonable - no POTUS ever was a 'godlike' king (not even the crazy insecure one who wants to be worshipped forever). We still have to hold them and congress people accountable for their actions. At very least, they shouldn't be condoning cruel or impossible standards on us constituents. We hired 'em, we can fire 'em.
One of the problems is the two party system. It’s always us vs them. People vote by color, not by ideas or programs.
maybe the democrats should be screaming from the top of the mountain
Do something. Democrats have had time to process this. Too much time sitting on their collective arses saying nothing sound crap.
Please……Let us know what YOUVE been doing to deal with this so we can all support your work.
We are in the mess we're in because a significant percentage of the ELECTORATE -- where the RESPONSIBILITY ALWAYS REAMINS -- has been sitting on their asses entertaining themselves to death and spewing excuses for NOT voting. Or voting for fringers who can't be elected. Or jabbering nonsense about third parties.
There are TWO viable parties, period. They are NOT "both the same" -- period. Full stop.
Either VOTE or sit down and shut up.
Obama campaigned on codifying Roe. He had the numbers but later said "it wasn't a priority." I don't give a fuck what his speech writer has to say.
