They use abortion as their moral justification for being ok with everything else (really they like the racism more, but enjoy using abortion as their defense)

There’s no evidence of the voting fraud that these laws purport to limit, and voting rights activists say that the laws disproportionately limit Black, Latino, and Native American voters’ access to the polls.
So Justice Amy Coney Barrett had a simple question for the lawyer defending the GOP-backed laws: “What’s the interest of the Arizona RNC here in keeping, say, the out-of-precinct ballot disqualification rules on the books?”
“Because it puts us at a competitive disadvantage relative to Democrats,” the lawyer, Michael Carvin, responded. “Politics is a zero-sum game.”
Can’t even make up an answer. More likely feel like they don’t have to

Yep. I think she was absolutely terrible and kept waiting for Bill to at least get some cutting digs in but he didn’t do anything at all. All in all it was a terrible interview of a terrible person. Which is a shame because I think she is stunningly attractive.

Sounds like you need immersion therapy. Every time she says something you hate, punch yourself in the dick.

It’s his niche. He made his bed awhile ago to hitch his wagon to the republican party and would become instantly meh if he was just some middle of the road pundit without this attachment.
Dude’s worked for Republican administrations and campaigns since back in the W days and is currently a senior advisor to the RNC specifically focusing on LGBT outreach. Maybe death threats are his kink or something.
I kept asking the mate to goto Amsterdam with me, saying I’ll pay your fair if you get the spending money for around 2 years since he always wanted to go, the problem wasn’t the money tbh but hey it gave an incentive.
His job wouldn’t allow time off and he had some injurys around those times to his back because of the job and needed every day he could get for holidays as sick days.
Then one day he phones me up an he’s got a week off, great and off we got to book the flights etc and that’s were our issues started, no flights, no ferry’s from Newcastle which would be our usual route, no places in Amsterdam too and we’re like wtf.
But we’re determined and made our minds up that we’ll get there by any means and get a place in the dam when we arrive so from Scotland we travel to London, onto Ipswich then harwich? to get the small ferry over to the hook of Holland and on to a few trains & into Amsterdam telling everyone we meet and I’m a kind of talkative guy that it had to be this week and this week only.
Finally at around 10 pm we arrive in Amsterdam Central, bags in tow into…
Never managed to get that room, but hey thanks to the 2 Norwegian girls who put us up thinking that we were a couple, if your ever reading this you’ve made many a Scots person get through the day.
The shit you do, man. 
Edit: best week of my life tbh…

So they are pivoting from “no incentive to find job if get unemployment because too much money” to “rich people will get 1% of their prior pay if unemployed”
“Giving $400 to millionaires is just stupid. They don’t even need the money! We should obviously give millionaires a $10,000 tax cut.”

Charles Schulz never did let Charlie Brown kick the football, but I’ll still watch Great Pumpkin until the day I die.

As someone who read way too much Sullivan back in the Bush years, firstly he has not been a Republican for years, though he’d still describe himself as a conservative, secondly he’s a preening narcissist whose writing is largely an effort to defend the contradictions in his worldview as advanced, nuanced thinking and disdain those demanding he make a fucking choice already (are you gay or a goddamn Catholic, which is it?) as naive, simplistic level-1 thinkers. He’s like Greenwald in that each of them write with the goal of enshrining some treasured self-perception. Greenwald’s is Man of Objectivity and Holder to Account of the Powerful, whereas Sullivan’s is Man of Nuance and Ambiguity Tolerance. Both spend their lives alternately trying to demonstrate these qualities in themselves and denouncing the lack of them in others; both are also utter hypocrites in this regard. In Sullivan’s case, there was absolutely no nuance in his vehement description of Iraq War opponents as fifth columnists and traitors. If Sullivan believes two contradictory things, that’s praiseworthy nuance. If someone else contradicts him, they’re just wrong.

Yeah I’d never heard of any of them and doubt anyone could care less whether they are still available. Right-wing media of course starts squawking “Dr. Seuss is being cancelled, cancel culture run amok!” and no one feels the need to look into the details.

I’m old enough to remember when Fox hated Dr. Seuss because The Lorax was socialist propaganda indoctrinating children to oppose The Great and Glorious Free Market in the name of environmental protection. That was an outrage, this is an outrage, everything’s an outrage!

Today we love that Dr Seuss,
But yesterday we didn’t,
You’d think it was a planned out ruse,
But really it’s just blatant,
Hypocrisy is what we love,
For in the end we only care,
That we remain above,
The gay, the brown and gender fair,
Our worldview assumes we’re victims,
And their out to get us,
The fat orange man provides the dictums,
So Dr. Seuss, we must discuss.
