...if Trump was still president and inflation was through the roof...
Would you be shouting desperately from the rooftops that it isn't his fault and anyone who thinks it is shouldn't be allowed to vote...? If Trump were still president, Trump would have let his buddy Vlad take all of Ukraine, there would be no united NATO opposition to Russia taking Ukraine because Trump wanted NATO dismantled, there would be no sanctions, and the Russian oil would be flowing and Ukraine grain exports would be shipping. There would not be inflation as we have now. It's not rocket science Greger. The inflation is the pain we all must suffer to put a Russian despot Rightwing Fascist into check. Being selfish at the moment is not good for all of humanity.

If you doubt taking the agency women have over their own bodies away won't affect the November 2022 election, you're not thinking rationally - or your male point-of-view is getting in the way.

Appears in Politico: 'The dog that caught the car': Republicans brace for the impact of reversing RoeIn interviews with Politico's David Siders, Republican Party campaign consultants are throwing up their hands in frustration at a ruling that will make it harder for them to do their jobs in November - particularly as they try to bring suburban women back into the fold after four years of Donald Trump. As one GOP adviser put it: "This is a losing issue for Republicans.” Writes Siders: "... according to interviews with more than a dozen Republican strategists and party officials, they just didn’t want it to come right now — not during a midterm election campaign in which nearly everything had been going right for the GOP," adding, "In Republican circles, a consensus has been forming for weeks that the court’s overturning of a significant — and highly popular — precedent on a deeply felt issue will be a liability for the party in the midterms and beyond, undercutting Republicans to at least some degree with moderates and suburban women." GOP strategist John Thomas explained, "This is not a conversation we want to have. We want to have a conversation about the economy. We want to have a conversation about Joe Biden, about pretty much anything else besides Roe."

Some reports are that Trump is mighty pissed off about the ruling: Being anti-abortion is a good political issue for Republicans. Ending Roe v Wade is a disaster!

I was thinking about this…
Now that Rightwingers have what they want, what incentive do they have to vote any longer?

Some reports are that Trump is mighty pissed off about the ruling: Being anti-abortion is a good political issue for Republicans. Ending Roe v Wade is a disaster! There’s a lot of issues, problems that could be solved by our elected officials. But many of our problems are of the variety of being too valuable a campaign tool to fire up one’s base than to solve the solvable problem. The abortion hasn’t been solved. It’s been moved to the state level. We’ll be living in an era where half the states abortion is legal with little to no restrictions and the other half where it is illegal or have a ton of restrictions like only in the case of rape, incest and the life of the mother or like here in Georgia where a heartbeat law had passed but was ruled unconstitutional. That ruling has been appealed with the SCOTUS recent ruling. That mean abortion would still be legal up to around 6 weeks if I read that right. Rape, incest and the life of the mother, there is no time limit on those. I also read yesterday that half of all abortions these days are done by pills, not surgery. It’ll be interesting to see if and how these pills are addressed.
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.

Thomas wants abortion pills gone. In his gleeful, giddy partisan response to the overturning of Roe on Friday, Thomas cited other SCOTUS rulings he wants reversed.

Conservative justices want to win the cases they've been losing for decades. They now have the numbers to do it...
It's a democracy thing...it goes by the number of votes.
