Politics Corner March 11

Alabama pissed off a whole lot of white ladies with money and now they are scrambling to cover their asses by pretending that oh no we're not looking inside those while lady uteruses. It's not flying. You know what else isn't flying? Doctors into Alabama. [Slate}

So maybe you didn't want a hundred or so babies. Kansas has some questions. Oh this won't be a problem at all. The Kansas Republican party which controls everything but the governor's mansion were shocked when abortion was put on the ballot and they lost by a large margin. So they're desperate. [ABC]


You didn't think we'd be talking so much about abortion today? Neither did I. I thought maybe there would be questions about why John Cena has no hair below his eyebrows or what was up with the ugly sandals?

But the rest of the world has been paying attention to what's happening here and they're not liking it. Particularly the West. Poland is the only country with restrictions close to the US. That includes Ireland which legalized abortion by popular vote. France is the first country to place the right to abortion in their constitution (take that Alabama!) and other countries are looking for ways to expand rights because they do NOT want to be like us. We should take that as a warning but we won't. [ABC]

This isn't the first time that Trump has talked about cutting Social Security (basically a trust fund that pays for itself if it isn't fucked with), Medicare and Medicaid (our social safety net that we've already paid into). It's another grift. [NBC]
