  1. Oops... Someone screwed up.
  2. I literally just went to wikipedia to refresh myself on a lot of things I had forgotten. Remember that "She persisted" came from his nomination. Warren wanted to read some things on the Senate and Cocaine Mitch stopped her, led to a formal rebuke. In his statement he said "neverthless she persisted". A male senator later read the very same thing.
  3. have no idea if this is an accurate figure but I read that she's kept all of her songwriting and publishing rights and is making $1M a week now.
  4. and he's not the first one to say that. I had a family member say it yesterday when they were over. I said the very same thing you did. They looked at me like I was speaking Portuguese. In their head they're thinking "But Hannity said...." The cheap slogans they hear over and over again are so ingrained in their head that they lose logic.
  5. Every democrat running for Governor in any state should commit to that.
  6. So bummed they are here on Wednesday the same night as TTB. That’s going to eat into the ticket sales for sure.
  7. When I saw TTB in Chicago Susan had a leg injury and had to sit on a stool. So after finishing up she says "Ok, I'm not getting up off this stool so we'll just go right into the encore now"
  8. our local city council meetings that I've attended open in a prayer and it's a diverse set of officials giving the prayer. I believe it's a rotation.
  9. But remember, ACB said the good thing about overturning this will be to increase the supply of regular white babies.
  10. and don't forget where every miscarriage will be investigated. "What did you do?" "Take any medication?" We'll have to subpoena your pharmacy and insurance" "Did you go hiking or running?"
  11. Yep. I read a book about the TV change in the 00's... the transition into things like Idol, Millionaire, Housewives, The Office, and they talk about that. He was a washed up nobody before that. He was, to quote Bill Simmons about Magic Johnson, "one step away from being pissed on by Verne Troyer on a reality show".
  12. I'm on the fence as well... the first one isn't anything special for me. When we saw Dr. Strange they had a special preview of the money where they showed a few minutes of a scene. I was bored then.
  13. Politicians and law enforcement are different groups of people. Pay more attention. Don't you "back the blue"?
  14. if authorities think someone's breaking the law you investigate. That is literally their job. Nobody's "going after" him. Why did the LAPD "go after" OJ? See how dumb that sounds
  15. I hope so. I hope these narrow minded people who live in their church/religious school bubbles come to realize how out of touch they really are.
  16. I want to see those same people cheering the prayer ruling when the coach at Fordson in dearborn leads his players in a prayer to Allah.
  17. I saw someone claim on social media that she’s afraid her IUD is in jeopardy. Says it’s the only thing keeping her healthy. I saw other references to certain cancer treatments being in jeopardy because they might cause a miscarriage. I agree that overall the reason why shouldn’t matter. I get it. But those passionate for that reason alone are already voting. You need to get those not voting and those not fully informed what this means. The unintended consequences need to be broadcast far and wide.
  18. Sadly you might be right. I’m thinking specifically to my mother in law. A devout Catholic. When we mentioned all the scenarios beyond birth control measures she was agreeable. But then we say “ok but that’s not what is going to be the law”. The nuance to this issue needs to be hammered relentlessly. this nation is a joke.
  19. In the next few months I bet we will see a doctor or even a mother prosecuted for performing an abortion that will have been done to protect the mother’s health. It will be a mother in her early 40s with two teenage children. An upper middle class family. The kids will be honor students and athletes. That’s the kind of thing that needs to happen so that the general pro life public who thinks this is just about birth control sees the real world consequences. Too many people assume it’s about loose women just wanting to have guilt free sex and just call themselves pro life because of that. Like Rosa Parks the test case has to be carefully selected.
  20. I have to imagine this more than anything has to mobilize the under 30 vote. If this won’t then nothing will.
  21. security was probably outsourced to the lowest bidder and the guards made $11 an hour.
  22. That’s the entire Trump presidency and his supporters. It’s “I saw it on the internet” guy. Typically someone over the age of 70 who is normal in most other aspects of life or a batshit crazy person under 50 who hasn’t left his parents basement since Bill Clinton was president.
  23. hope it was worth it
