Senate Republicans block Democratic bill to protect IVF nationwide

It's part of a push by Democrats to highlight the electoral contrast over reproductive rights. Before the vote, GOP senators said they favor legal IVF but prefer a narrower bill.

IVF is incredibly popular. 80% of pro-life Americans currently support IVF.

Honestly, the Y'all Qaeda Southern Baptists are correct here. If you truly believe that fucking goo is a human life, you can't support IVF. Sorry. Every IVF treatment involves the destruction of many fertilized embryos.

NC isn't the only State that does this. In Wisconsin, 60% of voters vote for a Demoncrat, but the D's only end up with 40% of the Legislature seats.

The vast majority of voters are very pissed about the available candidates for President this year. Voter turnout will almost certainly be low. Usually this benefits the R's. However there is a real possibility that Joe Brandon wins the Electoral College but loses the popular vote.

I am personally rooting for this. It's the funniest possible outcome. Because all the dumbasses who've been saying "Ackshully we're a Republic" are gonna magically turn into big Democracy advocates overnight.

We've already seen Conservatives transform into blue-haired ACAB, abolish prisons anarchists let's keep the party going!

Hillary Clinton quips about losing 2016 election at Tony Awards — but joke falls flat

The former Secretary of State, 76, made a surprise appearance onstage at the Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater in NYC on Sunday night.

nypost.com

Since we're all permanently stuck in a 2016 time-loop, the Universe keeps showing me new reasons to hate Hillary. From her book about how she lost a layup election, plunging us into a dark age:

In case it's not obvious, "a pony" is a metaphor for "guaranteed healthcare". This is very stupid because no one needs a pony. It's a totally optional purchase. Healthcare is not optional. Every human being eventually needs to go to a doctor.

And speaking of totally optional purchases, when George Bush wanted $4 trillion for the completely pointless Iraq War, Hillary did not ask, "how will we pay for the pony?", she immediately hit the "approved" button

Lastly. If every citizen of every modern country on the face of the planet has been getting a pony from their government for about the last 80 years, is it really unreasonable for the citizens of the wealthiest nation in the history of human civilization to ask: where's my fucking pony?
