  1. This list can change by the week but as of right now this is it: The Weight Low Spark of High Heeled Boys Althea Bell Bottom Blues Black Hole Sun Times Like These Cinnamon Girl The Chain No Quarter While my Guitar Gently Weeps
  2. I wonder if the couple that "owned" that house are part of his surveillance team or do they own the house and Gus just pays them?
  3. This is 4 years old but still relevant. Very enlightening.
  4. scorched earth.
  5. It would lead to a seismic shift in our political spectrum. Could be painful and confusing for a few years but this could be the final thing needed for the young to vote. let them talk about banning interracial marriage and gay marriage.
  6. I know it's naive to never say never but I can't imagine that going over well with most people. I think same sex marriage has more broad appeal than abortion rights. But maybe not as intense. The dems need to go scorthed earth 1996 style to portray the GOP as what they are. Quit playing nice. There's nuance to the abortion debate even though I don't think there should be. But there's nothing nuanced about same sex marriage anymore.
  7. Anybody playing moviedle? They show a movie in 1 second. You have to guess. Increments 1 second each guess. easier than I thought it would be. I find it's harder on the phone rather than a monitor because of the screen size. Apologies if anyone already mentioned this. https://www.moviedle.app/
  8. Anyone dumb enough to listen to him… well…. Fuck em. Sorry. Not sorry.
  9. Ties in to what I did earlier. All hyperbole aside I know most pro lifers don’t think these things through. They just say they are pro life because they don’t think casual abortion is good. They don’t fully grasp the ramifications.
  10. Same with period tracking apps. Big data has that. “So we notice you didn’t have your period for 3 months then went to this doctor that you never saw before… what’s up with that?”
  11. but fits in logically with their position. ANY destruction of an embryo is wrong since it's a "person".
  12. I can't wait to find out it was one of the R justices or people who did it then see all the inevitable back tracking from Cruz, Hume, Hannity, Huckabee, Graham, Mitch, etc. Perhaps it's strategic that such immense pressure will cause a justice to switch then the GOP can claim once again to be victims to a leak and they need your support now more than ever.
  13. I think he's referring to the colored broad (since we're going back to the 50's) but he doesn't realize she's not yet part of the court in that regard.
  14. to be fair, despite my hyperbole, most people who consider themselves Pro Life don't think about this like we do here. I understand that. But someone has to. Too many people are legislating to try to control what they think is immoral behavior. Its more than that.
  15. exactly as the founders wanted it.
  16. Frankly no. There's too many caveats and potential exceptions for there to be a a reasonable basis for a law to be written that's fair. Ultimately it should be left to the woman and her doctor. That's how I would prefer it. But if you wanted to have something I would listen to a ban in the third trimester with exceptions for rape, incest, and health of the woman. By health I mean complications. I wouldn't restrict it to "life in danger". The woman and the doctor can decide what that means. Not a legislator or judge with no medical training or background. I trust women that they would not want to go through that unless there was a good reason and same with the medical provider.
  17. Is it not only appropriate but also a moral imperative to use lethal force to stop what you know would be the murder of a 10 year old? I think so.
  18. Or to flip it around it's anti life to go on the ventilator because according to the religious nuts only god should decide when life begins and ends and by going on a vent in the first place you are going against god. See how complicated medicine can be when you invoke god? Go research how the Pill was developed and all the pushback against that at the time. Those people are alive and well today and will be in charge of female medicine thanks to these 5 justices. They think taking a pill to prevent pregnancy is a sin.
  19. So if someone kills an abortion doctor is it justified because the abortion doctor committed murder? What is your difference between an abortion doctor (or abortionist as the 'pro lifers' like to say) and a nazi guard who sent people to the chamber? By not doing everything possible to prevent abortions aren't you appeasing murder? There is no difference between an abortion and killing a 10 year old?
  20. Further.... they see it as themselves being persecuted and victimized like the apostles were for their faith. it gives them a kinship.
  21. Do you think it would be moral and legal to shoot the nazi's that were killing the Jews? Like if you had a gun in your hand and could kill them would you? And would it be moral and legal to do that to prevent the murders of the Jews about to go into gas chambers? Put another way: Imagine there's a house on your street where you know people are taking 2 week old babies inside and murdering them. Are you legally and morally justified to use lethal force to stop that from happening?
  22. I'm just going to share with all of you what tickets I have games for so that you will know to not bother caring about it that day because.... it's going to rain! Every.time.
  23. abortion is a medical procedure and decisions about it should be left between a woman and her doctor. Not some old blue haired hag and her pervert pastor husband who thinks the Earth is 6000 years old. Those are the people that will be making these laws in ass backwards states like Mississippi. A teenager raped by her father will have less rights than the rapist. I call them crazies because their opposition and reasoning on abortion law is based on religious beliefs. The idea that "God will sort it all out, it's God's will, etc.". The concept of a God, god, Allah, Yahweh, etc. should never be factored into a law. We can't have 50 states with 50 abortion laws. There's already talk of some states making it a crime to go into another state to get an abortion where it's legal. Spend some time in a neo natal unit and among high risk pregnancy groups where families have to make very difficult and painful decision and then report back. Partial Birth abortion isn't about some woman deciding in month 8 that she doesn't want a kid anymore..... it's much more complicated than that. Nobody gets one that wants one. They want the baby. Nature decided against it and made it risky to have one and now you'll make criminals out of the doctor and mother. But hey.. tell me again you are pro life because I don't believe you.
  24. because the death penalty was in the Old Testament. and it hurts blacks but we won't say that out loud.
  25. They don't care about the "babies". To them women who get abortions are sluts who dare to have sex outside of marriage. Rape victims had it coming by wearing a skirt and black bra. Fuck the religious right. They are evil. All of them. They only care about "babies" as a tool to gain political power. I know this is just a game to you but real people are going to get hurt.
