Moderator Kristen Welker of NBC News asked the five presidential hopefuls how they see their party’s path forward on the issue of abortion, given that they keep losing elections over their attacks on women’s reproductive rights. Most doubled down on their opposition to abortion, and then made nonsensical claims about Democrats advocating for no restrictions on abortion in any scenario.

The moderators did nothing to call them out for it, either.

“Let’s just be clear,” said Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. “The Democrats have taken a position they will not identify the point at which there should be any protection, all the way up until birth. That is wrong and we cannot stand for that.”

“I am 100% pro-life ... I would certainly, as president of the United States, have a 15-week national limit,” said Sen. Tim Scott (S.C.). “I would not allow California, Illinois or New York to have abortion up until the day of birth.”

Scott went on to say he thinks “it’s unethical and immoral to allow for abortions up until the day of birth,” which, to be clear, is not something that anybody is calling for, anywhere.

Then it’s pretty clear that’s exactly what they should do.

"Examples of mistreatment include a Sergeant entering the female unit and greeting the female detainees by yelling, 'Hello a••holes and bitches,'" an inspector found at the Orange County Jail in Goshen, New York. "Multiple staff make comments such as, if detainees do not like the treatment, they should not have come to our country. A [correctional officer] working in a male unit confronted a group of detainees stating, 'Who's the f•••ing p•••• who made the complaint against me?'"

This sure sounds like their next step will be insisting on segregation.

“This bill is not about privacy, because it will put private data at risk.

This bill is not about kids’ safety, because it will put their safety at risk.

It is not about parental oversight, because it takes those issues out of the hands of parents.

It is not about helping kids, because it’s going to shield kids from useful information that has literally saved lives.

The Republicans seem to know all this and are embracing it for these reasons. Which leaves a big question open: why are the Democrats supporting it at all?”

RIP Grant. It’s still a shock every time I’m reminded he’s not with us anymore, even years later.

So at what record temperatures do we start giving outdoor workers hazard pay?

 

Is anyone playing Harry Potter: Magic Awakened? I’m not far enough into it to have any real opinions of the gameplay but the visuals are outstanding! I love the art style and I would love to see some new HP animated movies take this approach.

Agreed 100%. There was definitely a barrier to entry in the internet’s early days which is why it was so nice. People that were there had to learn because they WANTED to be there and make it something great.
