LOL, Liberals fund raise off abortion also. As for the 3 SCOTUS nominees, Republican president, pro-life, no brainier. Democratic presidents nominate pro-abortion judges. Since the beginning of Roe it has always been this way. That leaked draft is probably worth a billion dollars in donations to the Democratic Party. Elections are all about money. Since 1964 the presidential candidate who raised and spent the most money won with one exception. 2016. Clinton raised and spent 1.19 billion to Trump's 646.8 million.

The midterms are the same. Want to know who'll win, follow the money.


It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.

Supreme court justices are more likely to die than to be impeached AND CONVICTED. Impeach Justice Thomas and I'm sure he will just chock it up to partisan tom-foolery. We already know he has zero ethics, seeing as he refused to recuse himself when his wife was involved in a case. Republicans are all throwing hissy fits about investigating and punishing Alito's draft leaker, but the DOJ and FBI are not, because leaking it violates no laws!

BUT (and it's a might big but) lying to Congress under oath is perjury, and that can result in indictment, conviction, and imprisonment. Supreme Court justices have no immunity (like that JD memo says the President has). The House could refer them to the Justice Department for prosecution, and nothing would stop the Justice Department from charging them. And if they get convicted, there is this:

Quote
Article III, Section 1:

The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.

A felony conviction for Perjury is NOT "good Behavior".

There is a reason why the adage “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned” exists.

Go ahead and force women into pregnancies they don’t won’t. You conservatives are playing a very dangerous political game. I’ll be enjoying the popcorn while watching your political demise. smile

Yet nary a word from Republicans about Trump removing 15 boxes of classified documents to Mara-Largo which IS a crime.

To use a "Karen-ism"...."It's called: your ass got burned from the flame of your overreach. The court crossed a line that no reasonable person will tolerate."

Yes, scorned women rule the earth! There is no stopping them, they always get what they want.

Witness all the scorned women in Afghanistan who have just been told they must now cover their faces. That ole Taliban better look out 'cause the scorned women gonna whup they ass...

Not.

Women have only recently even been allowed to vote here...

The Equal Rights Amendment has never passed.

Women are scorned every day and they keep coming to work despite their assh*le sexist bosses.

Where were the scorned women when Trump was elected? I guess women weren't smart enough to recognize that he was a racist sexist assh*le?

But they'll see that you'er right this time and all will vote for Democrats!


Good coffee, good weed, and time on my hands...

More women should get what they want - the world would be a happier place.

Here's another adage that is true:

Happy wife, happy life.
