The Border Crisis?  Well, of course that's Donald Trump's fault, but then isn't everything Donald Trump's fault.

What's your solution?

You're in Charge.  You've got the House, the Senate, AND the Senile Presidency.

What do you tell the plumber who goes from house to house daily fixing problems who has to pay record gas prices that we've never seen before?

What do you tell the Carpenter who travels every day to a tract home and can't take a bus or ride his bike to get to work? 

What do you tell the restaurant owner who can't even provide meals because Biden and his band of buffoons has screwed up the supply chain and food products aren't available?

What do you tell every family out there who eats food and is now paying almost a 100% increase across the board in the price of groceries?

What do you tell a family who was looking to purchase a USED car and is looking at USED car price increases of $5000 MORE than they were under the Republican and Trump administration?  

What is your solution?  More wasteful spending?  Higher gas taxes which is exactly what this moron in the White House said the other day? 

Give us your answers. 

You've been in charge now for 1 1/2 years and inflation is at record HIGHS of the last 41 years. 

You told us it would be transitory.  Janet Yellin looked like the Buffoon she is, when she had to admit the other day that she got it completely wrong.

And this Senile idiot that you voted for is out there blaming everyone on planet Earth besides himself. 

Go ahead tell us your solution and what is coming down the pike to fix things.  

We have our listening ears on.  

All of the stuff you mention  is happening in many, many other countries around the world.  

No one political leader is at fault (well, Putin has a lot to answer for...).  No one political leader can solve it.

Where's your church-state separation and no establishment of a religion concept going?   Is this what the framers intended?

Another step towards Gilead.  

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

and  the mantra behind every Republican idea:

We can tell you what to do.
But
You can't tell us what to do.

Good luck.

Voucher schools have not yet occurred here although the various provinces with conservative governments are eyeing the concept carefully with the full support of the Christian School supporters, of course.  

Currently, if you want a religious school here - Christian, Muslim or what-have-you or a posh 'private' school for the well-to-do then you get $0 from the government and tuition fees have to carry 100% of the cost of the school. 

And yet we have a fully publicly  funded CAtholic school system here which seems like favoritism from the point of view of all the other religions... and from me, too...  Religious based schools, without regard to what religion, shouldn't get one dime of taxpayer money....

oops

I can't seem to edit the gibberish from my post.   Anyone know how?  It was supposed to be an image....

Lying to get on the SCOTUS:

Also, Thomas has declared in his concurring opinion today that they are going to look at Contraception, Sodomy and Same-sex marriage.

"In his concurring opinion, Thomas, an appointee of President George H.W. Bush, wrote that the justices “should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell” — referring to three cases having to do with Americans’ fundamental privacy, due process and equal protection rights."

These people want Gilead.  It's their operating procedure model. 

Disgusting.

Lacey:  "Maybe you are unaware of your hostile and aggressive manner".

Davis:  "No, perhaps you're just a touchy little snowflake.  Has that thought ever occurred to you?"


You can't make stuff like this up, folks!

"That's the Law of the land.  I accept the law of the land"  until this week when he didn't accept the law of the land.

"It's settled as a precedent of the Supreme Court"  until this week when he unsettled it.

"Roe v. Wade clearly held that the Constitution protected a woman's right to terminate a pregnancy"  until this week when she decided the Constitution did not protect a woman's right to terminate a pregnancy.

EAch of the three decided this week to turn 100% against what they said in their confirmation hearings.  Not a lie?  OK. Misdirection, then?  Fingers crossed behind the back?  Pinky swear?

If any of these candidates had said at their hearing, "I'm going to vote against Roe v. Wade the very first chance I get"   would they have been confirmed?  

If I had stated in a teaching job interview that I would only teach the required curriculum, nothing more, nothing less, and got the job as a result of that declaration and then taught stuff clearly NOT on the curriculum at the expense of some other material that was on the curriculum was I lying in the interview?  Damn straight I was and I would be subject to firing.

They lied.  To get on the court while their agenda all along was to vote down Roe v. Wade.

And, as for the Gilead reference - some states are partway there already - murder charges for miscarriages are a thing now in some states.  Citizens can get a reward for snitching on a woman for going out of state to get an abortion in some states, the woman facing criminal charges as a result.  The teaching of factual history about slavery or the Native Residential Schools can cost a teacher his/her job in some states.. If Clarence Thomas' pledge to re-visit sodomy laws, contraception availability and gay marriage then some states for sure will pass laws to outlaw these practices.. Earlier this week the separation of Church and State was weakened by the Maine school funding decision.   And behind all of this sits 'Christian Theocratic Conservatism', smiling sweetly and drooling for the day that they can take over out in the open and re-open their Gay Conversion Therapy Camps and have cops busting motel doors in because someone inside is engaging in oral sex and make it legal to fire or not hire LGBTQ+ people or not serve customers who are 'undesirables' due to their skin tone or their spiritual practices or lack thereof.    Gilead - but the term 'Theocracy' is just as valid. That's where you are headed. One SCOTUS decision at a time...
