Abortion

Abortion thunder from the right from... Bill Maher?

"Real Time" host Bill Maher kicked off his panel discussion about the abortion debate Friday by sharing the surprising things he learned following the leaked Supreme Court majority opinion draft on Roe v. Wade. 

"I learned things this week… that are pretty basic things that I did not know about abortion. Like in Europe, the modern countries of Europe are way more restrictive than we are or what they're even proposing!" Maher exclaimed. "If you are pro-choice, you would like it a lot less in Germany, and Italy, and France, and Spain, and Switzerland. Did you know that? I didn't know that."

The Washington Post ran a fact check asserting that back in 2017; now that it is being cited (including in the draft Alito opinion) they are backpedaling and emphasizing the nuance.

"I learned most people who are pro-life are women. I did not know that. Most abortions are from… mothers, people who have a kid… And I thought this was interesting, most abortions now — even when you go to a clinic are done with the pill. The pill. And pills are easy to get in America," Maher continued. "So, you know, for the people who say we're going back to 1973, we're not. That's just factually inaccurate."

Hmm. If the hysterical progressives have lost Bill Maher...

Hey mr matt, I know I’m probably already known as kind of a contrarian around here, but you do know that France declared war on Germany, right?

So I kind of have trouble feeling sorry for them. Especially given Versailles and France sending Black colonial soldiers into the aforementioned Ruhr to rape and terrorize ethnic Germans. You know what I’m saying?

[Pinandpuller]

I’m no expert on Florida, but imagine if you will the Jeaga Indians got $3 billion in weapons from Russia and started bulldozing townhouses down and building settlements in Palm Beach.

How would American Zionists ever recover?

--Matt. How mean of you to state facts.--

They are facts in the same way an apple and an orange are facts; they both actually exist and there is some vague, distant comparison possible but they are in fact almost nothing alike in the particulars.

And the comparison is so far off base that it cheapens the actual monstrosity of Hitler and leads us into very bad and very dangerous policies that will ultimately do us [and already have done us] far more harm than good. If Putin truly is Hitler-like then we're counting on him not to use nuclear weapons if we press him far enough? Isn't that what could only be described as a somewhat insane policy and insane "reasoning"?
But of course the fact people are pressing Putin while he possesses the largest nuclear force in the world is de facto recognition they don't believe he is like Hitler and the comparison is just hyperbole. Unless they actually want a nuclear war.
But if he isn't Hitler then he isn't trying to do the things he is claimed to be doing and is in fact doing exactly what he said he would do, which again is no skin off our nose and certainly not worth depleting the weapons that are supposed to be defending us not the most corrupt country in Europe that bears no strategic value for us.
But even if he isn't Hitler, which he is not, he is an autocrat and if pushed far enough and humiliated and with Russia's fate in question and its possible dominance by the West imminent the risk of a desperate nuclear response is substantial especially since we have a team of fanatical imbeciles running the show in the West.
Since there are no vital interests of ours involved the actual good we can do is miniscule to begin with and we have already wasted scores of billions of dollars and grow increasingly bold in our hidden aim of Russian regime change [hidden except when dumbass Joe blurts it out] that carries with it not a small, but a large and growing chance of a nuclear war. The risk of a war that kills a billion people and destroys America forever used to be considered an eventuality that one would probably be wise if not prudent to avoid.
Somehow in the last six months otherwise sensible people have decided that risk is something to be scoffed at and dismissed because the kleptocracy of fucking useless Ukraine is in danger of having a piece of it carved off. These sensible people are following the lead of a blundering corrupt criminal, one Jospeh Biden, who they correctly perceive as being dishonestly wrong about very other single thing in existence. But somehow this provocative, disgusting, lying little pizmire somehow got this right and we need to ignore his demented lead, strike up the band singing Glory Hallelujah at the top of our lungs and march off to Armageddon in lockstep behind Emperor Robinette the Incontinent. Include me out of this lunacy.

I hope no one wonders how we blundered into the first two world wars because at the moment we sure seem to be doing our best to top those extravaganzas.

Ignatz at 01:38 am,

Excellent analysis. "Robinette the Incontinent's" pressers have devolved into incoherent, screaming rants that are far more reminiscent of Hitler.

A Russian tank lost it's turret outside Mariupol on May 6th.

Video. The turret reaches 250-300 feet high before it falls back to earth.

Democrat Rep. Katie Porter claims #Bidenflation "reinforce[s]" the "need" for abortion.

"The fact that we're seeing this jump in expenses ... pay more at the grocery store, pay more at the pump, pay more for housing is a reason" for abortion.

Zelensky campaigned on a promise to bring peace to Donbass and won because of it. So why did he choose war when peace was offered before the invasion? Because Anatoliyovych Yarosh, a co-founder of the Right Sector threatened to kill him if he sought peace.

Y: Yes. I have already made a couple of messages, but he is silent. Perhaps they didn’t reach him. He is a busy man…

But even if this meeting does not happen, it’s okay. He just needs to understand one truth: Ukrainians cannot be humiliated. Ukrainians, after seven hundred years of colonial slavery, may not yet have fully learned how to build a state. But we learned how to make an uprising very well and shoot all those “eagles” who are trying to parasitize on the sweat and blood of Ukrainians. Zelensky said in his inaugural speech that he was ready to lose ratings, popularity, position… No, he would lose his life. He will hang on some tree on Khreshchatyk – if he betrays Ukraine and those people who died in the Revolution and the War.
