To no one’s surprise, the rogue Supreme Court came to yet another radical decision this week when it decided 6-3 to overturn Roe v Wade. The highest court in the USA is now governed not by The Constitution – but by the fairy tales in some 2,000 year old book.
The three most recent appointees to the Court [Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Smirkface] actually perjured themselves in Congressional hearings – live on TV! – when each one of them lied and claimed they would follow precedent when grilled repeatedly on the question of Roe v Wade.
Justice Clarence “uncle” Thomas – a sexual harasser whose wife actively tried to overthrow the US government – was naturally one of those who voted to make women second-class citizens as well. Now he wants to go after LGBTQ rights and contraception!
Because, you know: Jebus.
In a futile attempt to try and stem the inevitable imposition of Biblical Law across the nation, on Thursday Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made an impassioned speech on the House floor:
“To all of those who are watching today’s events unfold in fear, in anger, in rage, in depression and anxiety, one thing remains steady: that we will not stop fighting until this is fixed,” she said. “And I say that to my colleagues on the other side of the aisle: We are not going away. We stay. We fight. We push. And we will not be silenced.”
Yes, Alexandria, this could possibly work if we actually had a functioning democracy. Unfortunately every day it becomes more obvious that the USA is now officially a Christian Fascist nation. It’s already a vicious Police State. The walls are closing in. We are a lawless, global pariah ruled by corporations, guns, and the Buybull. And that’s about it.
Scum like Matt Gaetz [R-FL] are overjoyed now that they won’t have to pay for any more abortions! All those teen-aged sex slaves will be having his babies now and he won’t have to do a damn thing to help raise them. Way to go. More babies for the republican pedophile mills, too! It’s a win-win situation for the GOP.
Okay, so what’s next?
- Pregnancy testing of all women of child-bearing age before travel to abortion-friendly states
- Annulment of all gay marriages
- Contraception banned
- Federal Legal Consent age to be lowered to 13
- Free Viagra for all men over 40
- Removal of all LGBTQ rights
- All forms of protest banned…except for right wing militias, of course…
I would go downtown and protest right now, frankly, but I fear I would be arrested for some of the things I’d be screaming. They always want you to chant some bullshit chant along with everyone else and then chant some more and then listen to some pointless speeches which won’t change one goddam thing…and then chant their cute little chants some more! Fuck that. I’m not a robot. I want to see destruction of property. Burning buildings and shit. Bring it on!
I don’t see that happening any time soon…sigh…
And this is all playing out under a DEMOCRAT, mind you. But Biden’s hands are tied. Ultimately, it was Obama who fucked us, all the while making us believe he was some sort of “progressive.” He had the power to codify this stuff. Couldn’t even get Guantanamo closed. Ugh. Of course, the “system” is set up that way, to ensure that the only changes we will ever see in our lifetimes are ones that benefit the corporations who really run the country.
You just try and stop them, Alexandria – but sadly, you are hated among most of your own party.
Really, how can anyone believe positive change is possible in the current FAKE political environment in the USA? The ONLY change I have seen is negative change. BIG TIME NEGATIVE. Somebody please tell me ONE THING that’s better than it was twenty years ago.*
These demons will stop at nothing to further their regressive agenda. Democrats and Republicans are just separate branches of the same party…they work in tandem to remove our civil rights bit by bit…
There isn’t a damn thing Ms Ocasio-Cortez or anyone can do at this point. Our FAKE democratic institutions can’t fix it and I have even less faith that the retarded Umerkin people will do the right thing. We are talking about literally a nation of morons. Until they all die, nothing can ever change.
I haven’t given up hope: I am facing reality. I’ve lived long enough to see with my own eyes what has been slowly happening over the course of the last 60 years…and it can’t be stopped. This de-evolution into full blown police state can only be set back incrementally and only temporarily. Our Rulers have always been in it for the long haul. Heck, we’ve come this far already…they’re almost to the finish line!
Protests mean nothing at this point. It’s too late. Fuck, legislation means nothing anymore when only one party is even participating in the FAKE democratic process. The “progressives” in the Democratic party [all 6 of ’em!] can bring all the legislation forward they want, but none of it will even come up for a vote. Who hasn’t seen this before? I can’t be the only one.
I am even more bitter and angry now than I was before. And I was REALLY angry before. As soon as I get my Social Security I’m out of here…if travel out of the country is still possible then…and there is still any SS left. Which btw is next on the agenda. Our Rulers have been saying for decades now that they want to rid the country of evil socialist programs like social security, MEDICARE, SNAP, unemployment benefits and such.
And eventually it will come to pass. It’s only a matter of time…
Gee, and they’ve probably already secretly transferred Julian Assange to a federal prison while all this has been going on…I wonder how many Palestinian children have been killed by the IDF this week? Whatever happened to all the hullabaloo about the Ukraine…? Where’s that GODDAM $15 MINIMUM WAGE we were promised?
Soon enough we’ll slide into another news cycle and the new normal will be the new normal…again…
And anyone who thinks that a convicted felon can’t be “president” is an idiot. Laws can and will be easily changed, especially once the GOP is back in power. They will simply overturn the law to allow tRump to be re-installed.
Duh…!
*Okay, recreational Marijuana is THE ONE GOOD THING…
Fabulous
