I was looking at a WA resolution to condemn a nation. The condemnation is to express "shoack and dismay."

If that's the criteria, what wasn't this nation condemned long ago?

I really don't know. Probably because it wasn't a World Assembly-worthy issue back then.

Memorandum

TO: Everyone
FROM: Management
RE: AOC

It came to our attention that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Communist, NY) does not approve of capitalism. From now on anyone using her acronym will write it out as 'aoc.'

Thank you.

From: Managements Bosses
To: Management
CC: All

The way high ups forbid the use of the term AOC they instead would like you to use any of the following term(s): it, thing, commie, An Oversized C@@T <——— this last one rimes with grunt but the higher ups would rather you not use that particular word instead say this ——>An Oversized Kook

Thanks from the managements bosses.

Didn't expect Star Trek to wrap up that B-plot this early in the show. They did a good job with it though. Yet another castmember appears to be able to sing, and we're still waiting for a musical episode.

The good news: The US Supreme Court told the State of New York the government there must follow the US Constitution. Thank [insert deity of choice here] for President Trump and his picks for the high court.

The bad news: There are still three communists on the high court.

In response to the Supreme Court decision on Abortion, Nancy Pelosi (Communist Clown-CA) says the never to be sufficiently damned Democrats will continue to fight against gun rights and for abortions.

Think about that for a minute.

Just a casual reminder to those in support of the new supreme court decision on abortion that we're not deciding between abortions not happening and abortions happening. We're instead choosing between dark alley abortions with coathangers or safe, legal abortions that we can pass appropriate legislation to decrease the frequency of.

Hope that creates some clarity.

Shame on Indian Empire for spreading Left wing waste material! Where did you get that talking point? The View? Some Facebook meme?

Let us see if we can straighten you out. The decision on Dobbs v Jackson Womens Health Organization[1] does one thing, and only one thing. That decision resets a constitutionally flawed earlier decision on Roe v Wade and puts that law making back where it belongs with the states. This decision brings the precedent back into conformity with the Tenth Amendment. In case you forgot, that one reads: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

Abortion is not covered, nor was it ever covered in the US Constitution. (Here's a hint, neither is murder.) Roe v. Wade flagrantly violated the 10th amendment. The Supremes corrected that error by returning abortion lawmaking to the States and the people.

How did you get all the way through high school and not know these things?  

The good news is the remarkably poor decisions made by single issue abortion voters may start to correct themselves now that the abortion debate is no longer a federal issue.

Now here is a casual reminder for Indian Empire. I am pro choice up to the point the fetus can be reasonably expected to survive outside the womb with today's medical technology. I am also pro Constitutional government. I am not in favor a government made up as we go along based on someone's feels on that particular day.


Sorry to see you go. Perhaps someday you will see the truth.

Not many people seem to understand the difference between banning abortion and the question (posed to the supreme court) of abortion being constitutional. It was the right decision to return it to states power as no abortion is not a constitutional right ... because it isn't in the constitution.

Whether abortion should be banned is a completely different debate to have

A whole egg in every taco!®

Goodbye and good riddance

But this region is a microcosm for Texas itself. The more Texas enacts conservative policies, the more liberals will leave.
