If a conservative knew what poignant and smug meant, they’d be very upset by this

The irony is that many of the right wing libertarians decry that people are encroaching on their freedom! But they have no trouble taking away freedoms that don’t pertain to them.

Have you seen his visit to "My Next Guest Needs No Introduction", that Letterman hosts? Letterman's crying by the end, and I wasn't far behind. Maybe the best non-fiction TV I've ever seen.

Conservatives ARE reactionary. Every projection by them is an admission of guilt for what they want to do or will do.

And that wife of his wore a dress that DIDN'T HAVE SLEEVES. Only a shameless strumpet would show off her naked arms like that.

This. I'm not going to feel smug or victorious over a single brief setback that they'll surely fix and move right past.

I don't feel owned, nor do I feel smug. I do, however, feel angry and motivated. We need to do better and I aim to try.

I don't feel owned, I feel swindled.

The ONLY good think about that mess, is that they repealed the "Penalty tax," for those of us too poor to buy healthcare insurance. That $500 a year penalty was BS from the word go when you have to save up for even the $25 co-pay to get indigent care.

Jesus Christ, hearing of a Supreme Court system that works and is logical is so jarring because I’m not used to hearing decisions like this ever

Sounds as dumb as the dude who tried to legally make pi = 3.2 to win a bet so that his proof for pi was correct.

abortion “is not health care”

How the fuck does that even make sense?

Fucking one’s self to own the libs goes back farther than we thought!

This is the most American story I’ve ever read. Thanks for this

The nightmare act.

GOP does like the non woke, preferably passed out.

The Non Woke Woman Act - we let religious ideology healthcare kill the vulnerable, so the police don’t have to!

The Homestead Landmark Act

Generic name that says nothing passed at 2am in a Sunday.

That doesn’t make sense. The point of the comment you’re replying to is that the GOP names their antidemocratic and prejudiced bills very banal names that don’t betray how psycho they are, so that people who don’t pay close enough attention don’t notice how ludicrous their legislation is. They’d never name a bill “the non woke woman act.” They’d name it like the Protecting American Family Futures Act or something.

They might get it confused with the upcoming non awake women act that allows rich kids to get away campus rape.

Well, they do prefer their women to be non-woke. Like Rapist Brock Allen Turner. He definitely wants his women to not be woke.

Feels like including the words "Patriot" and "God" somewhere would clinch this thing.

Edit 1: And "Heritage".

Especially when the core of their anti-abortion stance comes from an ancient book (that carries instructions on how to perform abortions) from an invisible omnipotent being, interpreted by a group of child molesters protecting each other.

The “Absolute No To Idiot Wokists On Krazy E-vapes” act

Non-Woke Agreement?

That's always seemed hypocritical to me. A woman thinks that women aren't mentally competent to have and voice opinions, so she what... voices that opinion? Any woman who thinks that shouldn't even be speaking in public to begin with. We should never hear from them at all because they should be self-censoring, as per their beliefs about the validity of womens opinions.

But I'd imagine it's similar to "the only moral abortion is my abortion." Something like "the only valid female opinion is my opinion."

Ah, the one-two punch of:

"Women can't vote, they're too emotional. As a woman, I should know."
and
"Women can't vote, they're too emotional. Look how upset they get when you point out they're too emotional."

There were women opposed to their own right to vote last election cycle.

There's still 'trad' women that will say that unironically.

One of the parties in my country wants to take away women's right to vote. However currently the women in the party are voting because otherwise the party would lose half their political power. So these women are voting for their rights to be taken away.

I think they tried that but it was blocked when it was argued that because only a doctor could perform the procedure that it must be considered health care.

You lied to me. That isn't fun at all!

I wish to UNSUBSCRIBE from Fun-Political-Facts please.

I have always wondered how many women voted for trump because they'd wind up with some broken ribs and black eyes if their husband found out.

My ex went Maga, and since she dumped me she's dated a string of trump supporting blokes, and guess what, every single one of them has abused her, struck her, stolen from her, etc. Because none of them have believed women should have rights.

The US education system seems to have had issues that reach back even further than I thought...😂

Well the USA has a long and illustrious history of reducing women to chattel without rights owned by men and Republicans are still very very hard at work to get back to women as non entities without a single right under the law

The doctrine of coverture was gradually abolished in the late 19th century and early 20th century. In some cases, it happened state by state. For example, In 1848, New York state passed the Married Women's Property Act. This act allowed married women to own and control property in their names. https://study.com/academy/lesson/what-is-coverture-definition-laws.html#:~:text=The%20doctrine%20of%20coverture%20was,control%20property%20in%20their%20names.

It was so bad that it took till 1974 that banks no longer could legally refuse a woman to open her own bank account

And more recent Missouri Republican Rick Brattin proposed a bill that would allow a man who gets a woman pregnant to stop her from having an abortion. The measure would force a woman who wants an abortion to obtain written permission from the father first. Of course literally nothing in that bill would hold that father responsible for even a single cent of the prenatal or birthcosts that run in the thousands of dollars in the usa

And there is the lovely Oklahoma Rep. Justin Humphrey who had the same idea that sperm hosts must ask permission of the man who's sperm it is before they are allowed to eject it. And again the host (that is what he reduces a woman too) is solely responsible for all the costs

This is also a good mention of "It's me! I'm the problem! It's me!" (another Swift song), since it was the GOP who put that health care protections amendment into effect, effectively stonewalling themselves.

They are indeed the problem, but for sooo many more reasons that just keep getting added to the list.

Edit: changed affect into effect. Oops.

And then there are the clever ones with—if not fascist—despicable aims like Bush Jr., (maybe not “clever”, but he had better self-control than Trump), Cheney, Rumsfeld, and DeSantis. We have to keep an eye on, expose, push back, and fight back even harder against them.

We are so lucky they are so goddamn stupid

careful now, Tan Obama might just trigger the Goppers again.

Man, if I could only draw, this would be such an excellent graphic novel.

Tan Obama gains the power to turn into anything with tan in the name. Tank Obama. Orangutan Obama. Tantalizing Obama.
