That man is in cloud cuckoo land. If it were that easy to deter or eliminate rapists, there would be no rape as a crime

MEXICO CITY, Sept 7 (Reuters) - Mexico's Supreme Court unanimously ruled on Tuesday that penalizing abortion is unconstitutional, a major victory for advocates of women's health and human rights, just as parts of the United States enact tougher laws against the practice.

Pandering to his base. That piece of shit doesn't have any true convictions of any kind at all (except "me first"). He just says what he thinks will get him what he wants.

'More than six months after taking office, President Joe Biden is finally doing what he probably should’ve done earlier: Booting Donald Trump’s political appointees from their posts on military advisory boards. The White House on Wednesday said it had sent letters to Trump appointees to the Board of Visitors for the Air Force, Military, and Naval Academies, including prominent allies of the former president like Kellyanne Conway and Sean Spicer, requesting that they resign or be dismissed.'

That's the recall about hacked Dominion machines, isn't it?

Is there any evidence that any Dominion machines have been hacked?

After watching these threads over the past 5 years, it's good to see blatent racism glossed over and ignored when it's suitable, re my last post on this thread.

I remember being piled on for questioning the covington boy scenario that you all frothed over and have since memory holed.

Can't find print article yet nor any link to the lawsuit itself.

CNN 'scrawl' says the DoJ is saying that the Tx law allowing 'bounties' infringes on the rights of other citizens and is 'clearly unConstitutional'.

'What to watch: The book — "I'll Take Your Questions Now: What I Saw in The Trump White House" — will be published Oct. 5 by Harper Collins.

A former West Wing colleague of Grisham's tells Axios: "When I heard this, all I could think about was Stephanie surrounded by a lake of gasoline, striking a match with a grin on her face."
A source close to the publication told Axios: "Grisham knows where all the bodies are buried because she buried a lot of them herself."

The source says Grisham "has receipts ... she was a press person and it was her job to make sure she knew what was happening."
Why it matters: Grisham is the only person to have served as a top aide to both President Trump (White House press secretary and communications director) and first lady Melania Trump (chief of staff).'

I'm glad to see that we're moving to mandatory vaccinations. Not everyone, but a goodly number of them. Inoculations have long been required to attend schools. If we can mandate for children in the name of public safety, we can mandate for adults.
