MAGAs claim Joe Biden's demented?
WTAF is he saying? Biden might be getting old but it happens to all of us. Trump is as crazy as he was in 1975. https://t.co/7uYhO2jcjy

Contraception is next on the table.
"If you think republicans won’t try to ban in vitro fertilization, reminder that when Democrats voted last session to keep birth control legal in America 96% of republicans in Congress voted no. 96%!"
,
The Roman Catholic Church forbids, under the pain of mortal sin: Abortion, IVF, all contraception, (except the rhythm method, which guarantees unwanted pregnancies), including vasectomy. Period.
If fundamentalist Christians, Catholics and other religionists want to practice their religious prohibitions where reproduction is involved, they are free to do so. But fundamentalist Christians, Catholics, and other religionists have no right to force other religions and non believers to do the same.
Democrats should make sure that Americans know this.
Say it.
Say it loud and clear.
Contraception is next on the table.
We were assured that reproduction rights were safe, because of 50 years of settled law, then came Dobbs. An Alabama Supreme Court judge just gave zygotes "personhood," with the same rights as our living, breathing children, the result of which has suspended IVF treatments in that state.

"The Trumpublican War on Girls and Women," coming to a red state near you.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (WDAF) – As it stands, Missouri judges cannot legally finalize a divorce if a woman is pregnant. Three other states have similar laws: Texas, Arizona, and Arkansas. While a pregnant woman can still file for divorce in Missouri, the court must wait until after a woman gives birth in order to finalize child custody and child support.
When it comes to domestic violence, there are no exceptions.
Unfortunately, they're not kidding.
And this is no joke: Missouri has a ban on abortion, is considering a pending ban on contraception, and this law that prevents you from leaving your marriage if you're pregnant, even in cases of domestic violence!
And certain red states want to get rid of no-fault divorce:
Welcome to the RED United States of Afghanistan, girls and women of America.
A Texas hospital refused to treat her.
The 25-year-old woman and her mother blame the state’s abortion ban for a delay in care that doctors say put her “in extreme danger of losing her life”

We knew this was coming.
"An Oklahoma bill that would create a database of every person who obtained an abortion is one step closer to becoming law.
The so-called Oklahoma Right To Human Life Act, authored by state Rep. Kevin West, passed out of the Public Health Committee last week and moves to a full House vote next month. The bill would require the Oklahoma State Department of Health to create a database in which each patient is identified by a “unique patient identifier” to track how many abortions a patient has and when. That information and the identity of the patient could be released to authorities under a court order."
Words fail me.

"As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion..."--John Adams PART II
At about 0.2 mm in diameter, it's the most advanced stage at which "embryos" are frozen.
Believe it's a "baby" if you want; but that religious belief has no place in the law or in the judgment of a court.
That is NOT a scientific or medical fact; that is a RELIGIOUS tenet. And not ALL religions adhere to that tenet, only a few.
We are a secular nation, and religious tenets, prohibitions, and laws have no place in making civil laws for we the people of all religions and NO religion.
A blastocyst is NOT a "baby." It is a POTENTIAL "baby."
A blastocyst is NOT a "child."
Under the law, a child usually refers to an individual who is a minor, who is below legal age or the age of majority.
So we need to ask the Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, “How should a Hindu, Buddhist, Jew, Jainist, Baha'i, Shintoist, Pantheist, Wiccan, and nonTheist interpret the language in his opinion on this specifically religious idea that Alabama has made into law?”
That data found nearly a quarter (24 percent) of Alabama kids living in poverty and 20 percent of Alabama kids experiencing food insecurity. Alabama also ranked near the bottom in life expectancy, according to that same report, with citizens in the 7th congressional district (73.2 years) expected to live a DECADE LESS than people in San Francisco (83.4 years), which had the nation’s highest life expectancy.
Alabama also had the nation’s fourth-worst infant mortality rate. So bad that the March of Dimes gave the state an F, primarily due to a 13 percent preterm rate. The state averaged 7 infant deaths for every 1,000 live births, compared to a 5.5 average nationally. (Pro-life, indeed.)
NOTE: But Alabama is now #1 in protecting blastocysts -- a collection of fertilized cells! --S.K.
"Not surprisingly, Alabama was ranked the worst state in the South for women."

How much $ did Republicans waste pulling this charade for YEARS?! Fraudulent. They should have to pay for it out of their own pay checks! Maybe they'll think twice next time they go on a slander expedition. https://t.co/L18UfAm4V4

We knew the whole "Impeach Biden" scam would blow up in their faces.
But we didn't think it would be this bad!
Ex-Informant Accused of Lying About Bidens Said He Had Russian Contacts
"Federal prosecutors portrayed the former informant, Alexander Smirnov, 43, as a serial liar incapable of telling the truth about even the most basic details of his own life."
[skip]
"Last week, Mr. Weiss charged Mr. Smirnov with fabricating claims that President Biden and his son each sought $5 million bribes from a Ukrainian energy giant, Burisma, demanding the money to protect the company from an investigation by the country’s prosecutor general.
Those allegations, which prosecutors now say were brazen fabrications motivated by Mr. Smirnov’s animosity toward the president, were widely promoted by congressional Republicans who cited it as a justification for their now-stalled effort to impeach Mr. Biden."
The Congressional Republicans, at Trump's command, brought an impeachment inquiry based on lies from a liar, Smirnov.
A Liar, Trump, demanded his lackeys in Congress, Comer, Jordan, and Grassley bring impeachment proceedings against President Biden, as revenge for the TWO impeachments Congress delivered to the corrupt Trump.
It all blew up in their vicious fabricating clown faces.
The Trumpublican pols and dirty tricksters who suborned or facilitated these politically motivated malicious lies about the Bidens outgh to be held to account and be punished.
Shame! Shame! Shame!
"...as mortifying as this was for the GOP, the new details add an epic twist: Smirnov didn’t just make up his fanciful anti-Biden tales, prosecutors argued, he did so after being fed claims from Russian intelligence officials.
In fact, according to the court filing, Smirnov 'admitted that officials associated with Russian intelligence were involved in passing a story about' Hunter Biden.
The result is an unsettling dynamic: If the allegations from the Trump-appointed prosecutor are accurate, leading congressional Republicans might’ve served as conduits, not just for false claims, but also for Russian misinformation.
The “scandal” isn’t what Joe Biden did, it’s apparently what his accusers did." --Steve Benen
"As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion..."--John Adams
Pay attention to what Trump and his allies' agenda is:
Spearheading the effort is Russell Vought, president of The Center for Renewing America, part of a conservative consortium preparing for Trump’s return to power.
[skip]
"Vought has a close affiliation with Christian nationalist William Wolfe, a former Trump administration official who has advocated for overturning same-sex marriage, ending abortion and reducing access to contraceptives."
"Trump is not a devout man of faith. But Christian Nationalists have been among his most reliable campaign activists and voting blocs. Trump formed a political alliance with evangelicals during his first run for office, delivered them a six to three conservative majority on the Supreme Court and is now espousing the Christian right’s long-running argument that Christians are so severely persecuted that it necessitates a federal response."
***************************
America is not a "Christian" nation, even if a majority (so far) of its citizens self-identify as Christians. A majority (so far) of Americans is white, but we do not call America a White Nation. Christian Nationalists want to fundamentally change America and turn it into a theocracy. The Dobbs decision (based on religious ideas) is one step closer to that goal.
This may be one of the reasons the Christian Nationalists are trying to fundamentally change America:

It is depressing to understand that...
millions of Americans want this mentally unhinged, conman and huckster back in the White House.
Americans who support this maniac for the presidency should look deep within themselves and ask, what is wrong with me that makes me think that someone who could write this embarrassing pile of lies and calumny would be stable enough to lead America?
The rant below by Trump shows a disorganized, raging paranoid mind, unfit to be a latrine cleaner, never mind the POTUS.
This is Trump's text on the killing of Alexie Navalny:
As is usual with this malignant narcissist, he made Navalny's murder about himself, and never held Putin, Trump's roll model and hero, accountable for the murder of his opponent. Something Trump must dream about, hoping to be the next POTUS.
And the lunatic who wrote these texts wants you to buy his gold high top sneakers!
What a embarrassingly colossal disgrace to our country!

HAPPY PRESIDENTS DAY
The Presidential Greatness Project ranks Abraham Lincoln as our greatest president, followed by FDR and George Washington.
Donald J. Trump comes in dead last as America's worst president.
"The survey shows that while presidential scholars continue to consider Abraham Lincoln the nation’s greatest president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt has passed George Washington as the second-greatest president. President Biden enters the rankings at #14, behind recent Democrats Barack Obama (#7) and Bill Clinton (#12), but ahead of recent Republicans Ronald Reagan (#16), George H.W. Bush (#19), George W. Bush (#32) and Donald Trump (#45).
Good Gawd! It's Come To This!
The guy who wants to be POTUS again is hawking cheap gold high top sneakers at $399 a pop to help him pay the $400+ million judgements he owes in his defamation/rape civil suit and his real estate and tax fraud suits.
As for the cheap gold high tops?
"A fool and his money are soon parted."
"It will be months before TFG cult buyers will receive the $355.00 line of sneakers. according to the website, it could take at least 5 months.
'There are no refunds. All sales are final.'
'We are not liable for any delays in shipments,' the fine print noted."
"There's a sucker born every minute." (And they'll buy this junk.)

YOUR SUNDAY MOMENT OF ZEN
"The first step in a fascist movement is the combination under an energetic leader of a number of men who possess more than the average share of leisure, brutality, and stupidity.
The next step is to fascinate fools and muzzle the intelligent, by emotional excitement on the one hand and terrorism on the other."--Bertrand Russell
