Ya got me.

I suspect you need to put the bottle down, sir.

No 3 year old is an anti-vaxxer, silly goose. They're unvaccinated because their parents are anti-vaxxers.

Unvaccinated does not equal anti-vax. Are you able to grasp that?

He's going to defeat Satan!!! YAY!!!

/s

He's so great at losing, possibly better than anyone else in the entire world.

Crossing my fingers that his losing streak continues.

Oh the poor old things. Imagine not getting a raise since 2009!! All the minimum wage workers can imagine just that, because minimum wage hasn't been raised since 2009, either. And a full time minimum wage job is going to provide a helluva less income than $174K.

I'm so tired of these privileged blowhards griping and complaining about how hard they have it while actively refusing to actually improve the lives of their constituents.

The same ones who voted twice for Donald Trump and who will vote for him again this November. Won't catch them using no fancy mustard.

If I counted correctly, there are 4 states that require paid leave. Another 6 where nothing is mentioned pertaining to paid/unpaid. And 22 states that don't mandate any leave at all...might be 23 since Kansas is just left blank.

In other states, you may or may not get leave (unpaid) depending how many employees there are at your job.

We really do suck in the US.

This vainglorious, fragile, lying and blasphemous joke of a human being is "going too far", in the words of a guy I saw today. However, he's still "on the Trump Train" and will be voting Trump in Nov.

There truly is none so blind as those who will not see.

Burying one's head in the ground is a terrible response. If everyone were to do that, nothing will ever get better. We need to be aware of the things we can change and work towards that goal.

Also, living longer is not always better. Go visit a memory care facility or a person who has been brought back from the brink of death only to prolong his suffering.

My son wears a medical bracelet that says no opioids except for end of life palliative care.

He fought too long and too hard to get sucked back into addiction.

I'm happy for you; you have beaten addiction into the past and that's where it's going to stay.

Yep. She believes it all.

Her lawyer, Traci Timko, said Watts sat for eight hours at Mercy Health-St. Joseph's awaiting care on the eve of her pregnancy reaching 22 weeks, before leaving without being treated.

Timko said hospital officials were deliberating over the legalities.

I've got my grandbabies here so I don't have the time to do a big search, but this article quotes her lawyer's statement that at least one visit in which she left AMA, she waited EIGHT hours for help, which she did not receive. (See first quote) I've read another article which I can try to find after the holidays which explained that in her two visits prior to the miscarriage, she was never admitted. She went to the hospital, explained what was going on, received one examination but was NOT admitted. She left after failing to be admitted, which was considered AMA. I'm sure they'd have liked her to sit there another day or two while they continued to fail to admit her, while deliberating over legalities. (See second sentence in the quote)

You're right, follow the money. My homeowner's rate doubled this year, but at least my insurance co. didn't pull out of my state. They know we are seeing climate change.

Wait, the lyrics of a song with a title that literally translates to "Oh, Christmas tree" originally had absolutely nothing to do with trees?? I'd ask how she wraps her mind around that dichotomy, but I know people who believe in conspiracies do not need proof nor logic to believe.

Good luck. I'll be entertaining my Trumpster QMIL, so I'll be fighting along with you to control myself.

Let's see if we can find any differences. Which party supports gun laws? Which party supports women's rights to bodily autonomy? Which party supports mail in ballots? Which party believes that there was an attempted insurrection on Jan 6, 2021? Which party does not tout the 'stollen' election lie? Which party knows 'stollen' is not how you spell stolen? (Just a little joke to break up the wall of text.

Now for a few other points which may help you see if they're both the same...

Which party refuses to even discuss putting any limits on gun rights? Which party believes a single cell nonviable organism trump's a woman's right to bodily autonomy? Which party thinks mail in ballots are an absolute no-go? Which party believes what happened on Jan 6 was a "peaceful protest"? Which party tells its constituents that the 2020 election was stolen?

And last, but most importantly of all, which party has closed ranks around a past president who tried to overthrow the counting of the electoral counts, who has been caught on several audio recordings pressuring state officials to throw out their electoral votes?

Maybe it's just me, but I see a BIG difference.

My car's engine requires it. It is a turbocharged engine. Gets great gas mileage and runs great!

That's what it took to get to the fetus and remove it. And they're blaming her for not doing it. There she was with a partially retained placenta, in danger of bleeding out, and she had the nerve to leave her toilet intact in order to obtain timely life saving health care.

And don't forget, she'd been to the hospital multiple times and left because she wasn't receiving care...all hospital caregivers and 'legal teams' were too busy trying to figure out if they could legally remove a dead fetus; they wouldn't do what needed to be done. Just left her sitting there while they argued intent of the law versus letter of the law.

"She put the fetus into the toilet." No, she didn't. The fetus was expelled into the toilet, along with bodily waste. She tried to get everything out, but she couldn't.

"She then went about her day." No, she didn't. She went to the hospital. She was bleeding (probably heavily) due to part of the placenta being left attached.

That's just two of the twisted statements the prosecutor has made in order to make this woman look like a heartless SOB.

It's gone too far, and short of removing Republicans from office and justices from the court, I don't know what we can do. They are prosecuting this woman to punish her for miscarrying in an inconvenient place.

It's worth mentioning that just 11 days earlier, had her miscarriage happened at the hospital, it would have been disposed of as medical waste...incinerated. 11 freaking days, and the state is criminalizing her.

When, America? When do we all work together to do something about this?
