McConnell is a master of one thing and one thing only-- obstructionI'm not going to argue about conservative, greed-obsessed businessmen rushing headlong into markets to profit from societal disruption.
Why would McConnell get the GOP war against women rolling again, juts as the election season is moving into high gear? Who gained and who lost yesterday when he forced the Senate into a no-win situation with two abortion votes. McConnell's no fool and he knew there was no possibility the already-rejected bills would pass.
Trump doesn't give a whit about women's Choice one way or the other and the only thought he ever put into it before being persuaded it can be used as a potent political weapon against his enemies, was when he was relieved legal abortion could be used to get rid of fetuses in women he had knocked up. But as a political weapon... now you're talking his language!
by NoahIt ain't gonna happen but maybe, in a far better world, Trump and Bolton would send some troops to Alabama to protect the rights of women from the state's official rape and incest cult and support group which masquerades as its legislature.After all, both JFK and LBJ sent troops to Alabama to protect the rights of African-Americans from racists back in the 1960s, and, back in 1957, Eisenhower sent the Army's 101st Airborne Division to Arkansas

That's the invitation above.
On May Day we looked at how Alabama plans to reshape laws to change the way women interact with 21st century society... make it more like 18th century society or, among the hard-core, first century society.
On Saturday night, in Green Bay, Trump was lying again about abortions. Chris Cameron, reporting for the NY Times quoted Trump's big abortion lie: "The baby is born. The mother meets with the doctor. They take care of the baby. They wrap the baby beautifully. And then the doctor and the mother determine whether or not they will execute the baby." Disgusting, right? And dangerous.
