jesus f***ing christ

the Right Wing terrorists calling themselves "Pro-Life" is hilarious in the darkest possible sense

Maine's AG did something similar when SCOTUS struck at them. They just changed the focus and said essentially, 'we can keep doing this', by changing the words of laws every time the rightwing circus monarchs in robes issue their bad takes.*

CBS News - Maine religious schools might not participate in state tuition program, despite Supreme Court victory

Religious schools got what they wanted when the Supreme Court allowed them to participate in a state tuition program.
But the state attorney general said the ruling will be for naught unless the schools are willing to abide by the same antidiscrimination law as other private schools that participate in the program.

One of these things are the most valuable thing to Americans and the other is an object... Which?

 

[Teelie]

Given you are asking what Americans think, that is a genuinely tough question to answer these days. I would like to say most citizens think the gun is an object but politicians think women are but there are enough people who support that I'm no longer sure.
