"LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO!". /S

Perfectly valid, until one of those that are making the rules and sentencing women to death by pregnancy are suddenly faced with it themselves. Then the hypocrisy starts.

The people who are setting the rules are VERY aware of ALL of that.

SHE needed one. That's the only reason. The answer was No for everyone else, but Yes for her. Nobody can kill babies but her.

She should have stood by her religious and political principles, and just rode it out. It was God's, and MAGA's, will to put her through that ordeal, and he expected her to accept her fate.

Instead, she defied The MAGA Lord and fought to have a Democratic abortion. She's a Democrat now, destined for an eternity in a fiery torturous Hell. May God have mercy on her damned Democratic Soul.

/S, nobody really believes that nonsense.

I have to wonder if the Doctors weren't trolling her a bit. She had an ectopic pregnancy at 5 weeks. Not only is the abortion necessary, it was within the six-week limit, so it was perfectly legal on all counts. So why would they claim they were confused about the law?

I suspect they wanted to teach an arrogant Florida Republican a lesson about politics encroaching on the medical decisions between a doctor and their patient, and made her jump through a bunch of hoops first, just to make her feel the fear, anxiety, anger, and frustration of the average citizen whose medical care is being dictated by MAGA Nazis.

Remember, we are only hearing the side of a professional MAGA Nazi, so she's a proven liar.

That's even worse.

If you already have a good computer, that much money could outfit an entire home music recording studio with decent gear, especially if you buy good used gear, which is easily available:

A couple of good super-budget guitars from Harley Benton (a Strat clone and a Les Paul clone), for about $300 (new).

A good Yamaha acoustic guitar, $100.

A bass, $75.

An interface, to get the music into the computer, $50.

A basic MIDI controller, $30.

A good electronic keyboard with weighted keys, $100.

Microphone, $75.

Headphones, $50.

Electronic drum machine, $50, or use the pads on the MIDI controller, or voices on the keyboard.

DAW - Reaper is free, and works great.

That's approximately what I spent on my studio, and everything works great, and sounds terrific..

She was pregnant, so somebody rolled her in flour and looked for the wet spot.

That's a good thing. You don't remember guys walking down the street, or getting on the subway, carrying a boom box on their shoulder, loudly blasting distorted music you don't care to hear.

Now they just pump it directly into their ears. Let them destroy their own hearing, not everyone else's. They make Bluetooth speakers if you need to broadcast your music to a group.

When I was young, I had a bucket list of all the fun gadgets I wanted - a camera, a video camera, a nice stereo system, a portable stereo system, a car stereo, lots of records, a TV, a VCR, a computer, etc. Making a Christmas list was easy, even if I knew I would never get 99% of it.

Now I get asked what I want for Christmas, and I have no idea what to say. My phone includes nearly everything I've ever wanted, including stuff I never thought of. Give me my phone, my guitar, a sandwich, and a bottle of water, and I'm pretty much set for life.

Since 2015, after decades of smearing the Mainstream Media, the MAGA Nazis have been coming on the very shows they have been disparaging, and spewing their propaganda alternative facts to regular Americans who haven't discovered, or avoid the Conservative Propaganda Machine. They realized the power of getting on the enemy's platform, and poisoning the water.

That's why AOC, and anyone else who wants to fight back, goes on Twitter. To force the enemy to see the other side, whether they like it or not. If they are totally immersed in the Conservative Propaganda Machine, then this might be the only way they'll ever hear an alternative view.

Back when Playboy was "the men's magazine you read for the articles," they always had an extensive interview with a major public figure. Often it would be someone with a moral component to their careers, like religious figures or politicians, and they would be criticized for lending their credibility to what many felt was pornography.

Inevitably, every one justified it by saying, "If you want to reach the sinners, you can't wait for them to come to you, you have to go to them."

Terrorism is just a propaganda word for common military strategies, which "civilized" nations like to pretend they don't do.

EVERY nation with a military is automatically a terrorist organization by definition. That's literally the primary job of the military - to terrify the opponent into surrendering, or not getting froggy in the first place.

This is the word of a Conservative Sean Hannity operative, who later RETRACTED her statement when it led to his resignation.

It seemed like she actually liked Franken, but in her job as a Hannity operative, she decided to use her connection to him to stir up trouble, and it went further than she expected.

So EVERYTHING she said has to be taken with an enormous grain of salt. She never had to testify under oath, and there wasn't a single other witness to any of her claims, and she later apologized for how far it went, and expressed regret that she had hurt him so badly.

It was nothing but a Republican smear job, and Schumer jumped on it for his own dirty purposes. Whether you believe the story or not, Schumer had an obligation to resist it and protect his Senator, and he decided to side with the enemy.

As for the rest of his "accusers," they were all people who got their photos taken at his famous cattle-call photo sessions at the Minnesota State Fair, where he took thousands of photos. He had about 10 seconds with each person, they come up, he grabs them, pulls them in close, smiles, and they snap the photo. In thousands of lightning fast photos, could his hand have landed somewhere odd? Almost certainly. That isn't assault, it's just an accident. It's like accusing someone of sexual assault because someone accidentally briefly touched your body on a crowded bus.

Every person who accused him of inappropriate touching was a rabid Trumper, happy to jump on the smear campaign to destroy Franken. None of them had EVER made the claim before, even in private. One person even claimed he didn't grab her anywhere inappropriate, she just "knew" it was sexual. Remember, all these accusers waited in a long line to smile and get their picture taken with Al, and never said a word about it until they broke for Trump, and then this smear campaign started. Suddenly, they were traumatized by an assault years before that they had never mentioned to anyone before. And again, none of them ever had to testify to their story under oath. They are all people who follow a guy who is a proven traitor, rapist, racist, who weaponizes lying on a daily basis. Why wouldn't his rabid fans feel like they can do it too, "for the cause?"

And by the way, NONE of the photographs showed Franken doing anything inappropriate, but because there was no hearings, that was never talked about. One woman claimed he cupped her whole breast for the photo, so where's the photo? Why didn't she say anything at the time? Why would Franken sexually assault anyone, knowing it was going to be PHOTOGRAPHED? None of it stand up to the slightest Critical Thinking Skills

Then there were the anonymous accusers who don't count at all. If you won't give your name, then you, and your unsubstantiated, unwitnessed, anonymous story, don't exist. Period.

Maybe he did it, but we'll never know, because Schumer REFUSED to allow Al to have a hearing in front of the Ethics committee where he could have defended himself, and confronted his accusers. We are complaining because MAGA NAZIs are denying Due Process to immigrants, but here's a case when the leading Senate Democrat denied Due Process to one of his own.

Schumer betrayed Al Franken, and he betrayed us, by flushing a solid, honest man who had an excellent chance of being president, and establishing a Progressive agenda. It's vitally important to recognize this incident for what it really was - the Democratic Leadership protecting their own neo-Liberal, Republican-Lite agenda that has led to the rise and dominance of the the MAGA Nazis. Chuck Schumer was the architect of that assault on Al Franken's reputation, helping the MAGA Nazis rise to power, and he is STILL in that position.

Schumer is standing in the way of the rebellion, and he needs to resign, or be primaried out of office.

He wasn't groping her, it was a perspective trick. You can even see the shadows from the flash.

This all happened long BEFORE he was a Senator, during a tour of the troops, where she was the customary Playboy model who would play her part in various risque sketches to entertain the troops. She knew about the picture and thought is was funny at the time.

Later, she became a regular feature on Hannity's show, and one day they brought up this picture. It was the peak of the Me Too witch hunt, and feminists were going after anything they could. The Republicans decided to weaponize this photo, and other Trumpets jumped on it, and made totally unsubstantiated claims.

At the same time Schumer and his state Senate mate Kirsten Gillibrand were plotting her run for president, and were afraid Al would run, too. Al is super smart, extremely funny, very fast on his feet, and is a masterful campaigner. He would clean up in a Democratic primary.

So Schumer used that nasty Republican smear job to order him to resign. Al wanted a hearing by the ethics committee, but Schumer refused, and demanded his resignation.

Of course, Al was an unapologetic Progressive who was a strong supporter of Medicare 4 All, so Schumer wanted him out for that, too. Can't have a guy like that in the White House.

Imagine if we had Al Franken humiliating HitlerPig on a daily basis.

The Case of Al Franken

Good reason to vote for someone else.
