  1. You completely missed the mark. Again - what people pay in is only part of the equation for equity. $30k a year and that person is still struggling to make ends meet. So, another bracket or raising that top tier 5% isn’t going to hurt that persons ability to live like it affects someone at the bottom. Have you ever been broke? It’s hard to be broke. Why do you and others like you want to make it harder?
  2. My son was 2 or so and we went to my BIL’s rehearsal Dinner. Kid ate his weight in food. He took all you can eat to a new level. At the end he blew his diaper out and up his back to almost his neck. As we are walking out, the maid of honor decided that was the perfect time for a picture. We just kept walking. Kid road home in a new and clean diaper. Clothes were in a bag in the bed of the truck.
  3. In order for things to be equitable, a whole lot less people would have to pay taxes. 5% of someone’s income making $30k a year hits a whole lot different than 5% of someone making $500k a year. You talk about equity, but you ignore the impact and the lower spending power that the bottom 90% are left with. How’s that equitable at all? I may be mistaken, but you seem to be leaving out the spending power side.
  4. Why do you hate people that put in a 40 hour work week and can’t make ends meet?
  5. For those of you that are dads of young women - a question: If this plays out in Texas like it is in Louisiana, how are you going to support your daughter through any miscarriage hearings she may unfortunately have? Will you go to her trial? Will you help with any costs? This is where we are heading. Miscarriages happen way more often than what’s discussed. They are being outlawed and any miscarriage will be reviewed. This is why I can’t understand how anyone is a republicans or is even willing to just sit it out. These assholes are wanting to put women through hell for something that happens all the time. Medically, you can’t tell the difference between miscarriage in purpose or one that just happened.
  6. You guys are also leaving out record profits by so many companies.
  7. Tinder, all porn, sex toys will be outlawed again… drug war ramped back up etc etc. this is a Republican wet dream if Roe gets over turned.
  8. I always wondered why the people burning the witches were the good guys in so many stories…
  9. Alito citing Hale is also really, really disturbing…. Unless you’re a white Christian male extremist, then you’re probably good with women being property.
  10. Stats, number of abortions someone has had, etc is all filler. The bottom line is that no one has access to use your body without consent. Not the government, not a fetus, not a doctor - no one. That’s what is on the chopping block. That goes away and Pandora’s box opens for government fuckery.
  11. Your opinion on why women have abortions is of no consequence. Stay the fuck out of other peoples lives. It’s none of yours or anyone else’s business.
  12. He’s competitive enough. Their car isn’t consistent right now. I’d keep him for the marketing and to help Lando.
  13. There are still OBGYN’s that won’t tie tubes without a husbands permission, so that’s really not far off. If they are after condoms, then vasectomies are easily in the realm of possibility
  14. This police escort to the podium is insane.
  15. Who’s doing this interview?? This is terrible.
  16. Can we stop with the American Taliban? Let’s call them what they are - American Christian Extremists.
  17. Better enjoy your online porn while you can. Load up on your sex toys also.
  18. And nothing is stopping republicans from over turning a law when they get control again.
  19. What’s the end game? Forced white baby births? Full control over women / population? Theocracy? Little of all of the above?
  20. They won’t remove contraception, they will just redefine the fuck out of it or require spousal approval for it. Plan B - that’s likely gone. Hysterectomy - back to needing hubby’s approval. Etc.
  21. Lower taxes?? Maybe for the top 1%. Fuck the rest of us… our taxes went back up. Also, the Rick Scott GOP plan raises taxes on the middle class and cuts social security….
  22. Says the guy that cried when his church was posted… you seemed to care then.
  23. I’m not hanging around in the US, much less Texas. We are working on our 2 - 3 year emergency escape plan and a longer term plan (7-8 years) if the theocracy takes longer.
  24. I’m firmly on team Brisket. Pain and suffering and control is the end game for the GOP.
