  • Just as a reminder:

    Right before the ballot was to be printed, Justice Limbaugh (Nephew to THAT Limbaugh) ruled that the petition circulators did not tell people signing the abortion rights petition that enacting the law would lead to children being able to get sex changes without parental consent; ergo the amendment should be thrown out due to deception.

    The petition leaders then went to the Missouri state supreme court arguing that they didn't mislead people by omitting information about sex changes as the amendment was ONLY about abortion right. The state supreme court agreed, the ballot got printed, the amendment passed and then the state republicans refused to implement it because: "we don't want our children getting sex changes without our consent."

  • So, do people want the footballer turned president turned didn't sign the right form when getting married so they are now in jail for life person back? Or is a Pakistani military junta still what the USA wants?

  • Anti-iraq war protesters killed John Kerry's presidential bid and led to 4 more years of Bush. Did that mean the democrats ran away from the issue and everyone supported the Iraq War?

    No, we changed leadership and polling so much so that we finally got out of the war. The option shifted so hard that in 2015 the only republican in a huge field of candidates that said the Iraq war was a failure won the primary, the whitehouse, and (eventually after he left) got us finally out of Afghanistan. (Yes I know that was Biden, but was odd that Obama didn't do it).

  • Upcoming crisis-es:

    -May 2nd : End of De minimis exemption: Orders under $80 will no longer be exempt from tariffs from China

    -May 7th: All flights will require a driver’s license with real ID (new licenses after ~2015)

    -The X date: Day U.S. spending cap is reached. Earliest is June, expected around August. Would cut off all federal spending including SS and Medicare.

    -The X date bill: Bill that would raise the spending cap through reconciliation – but also cut either Medicaid or the Obamacare Medicare expansion. This would lead to, among many things, most rural hospitals being shut down.

    -August-September: With the Department of Education no longer working student loans and accommodation requests will be thrown into chaos

    -August – November: Harvest season w/o immigrants and w/o USAID contracts. Mass farmer bankruptcy , but limited time cheap food.

    -Nov-Dec: Big Box stores see empty shelves due to tariffs. Smaller stores see it earlier, but Target and Walmart will have warehouse inventory until Black Friday.

    -Dec-Jan: New COVID variant and flu variants will cause more strain on hospitals due to the previous closures and anti-vac NIH.

    Variable dates: Terrorist attacks, something with Russia and Ukraine, Trump “assassination attempt” that turns out to be a false alarm, Trump health scares, and at least one Cabinet member will be forced out due to crimes and/or incompetence.
