From reading her comments, the purpose of her post was to infer that abortion at this point in pregnancy (which appears to be full term or damn close) is wrong because you can clearly see they are developed. What Kaylee and those like her always fall short on when it comes to

Mark Ware How the unvaxxed actually are in public....

Texas sentenced Crystal Mason, a Black woman, to 5 years prison for filing a provisional ballot that was never counted—but pardoned Daniel Perry, a white man, for deliberately killing a peaceful protestor & Veteran.

This is not from 1824—but 2024. White supremacy is alive & well

Remember pundit panic over expanding the Supreme Court? Folks: 2 of 9 Supreme Court justices are quite literally election deniers that have no place in government.

It’s not your father’s GOP now – or even your grandfather's. It is indeed Putin’s, though. Please don’t let family tradition lead you to vote Republican when the party has turned anti-democratic and pro-dictatorship. Thank you. 12/12

I DO NOT believe Butker should be fired for making that horrendous speech. He has a right to say what he thinks.

I think the regents of Benedictine College should be fired. Because they allowed that abusive denigration to happen to their graduates, faculty and staff.

All of these things can be true:

- a hypothetical lab related origin for SC2 wasn't axiomatically conspiracist
- extant evidence overwhelmingly supports zoonotic spillover
- Lab Leaker rhetoric overwhelmingly was & is weird conspiracist dork nonsense at odds with extant evidence

Haberman was shilling for Trump & Michael Cohen all along

Trump supports stripping bodily autonomy from women. Biden does not. Trump supports taking health care away from tens of millions of people. Biden does not. Trump wants to round up migrants and put them in detention camps. Biden does not. Trump supports executing drug dealers.

We have been reporting for days now that Trump is providing daily talking points to surrogates who show up at the trial to violate the gag order for him. The order specifically prohibits him from doing this.

I’d like nothing more than to see her slap that smug smile off of Tucker Carlson Junior’s stupid rat face.

129/ ...they remain untreated for and will always be untreated for, and the specific pathology is (a) pathological deceit and (b) sociopathy (thus, no guilt over one’s own pathological deceit), you cannot represent to news consumers that you are giving them accurate information.

128/ To be clear, I do not mean that the mentally incompetent should be denied pressers as a *punishment*. Not at all! What I mean is that, as a matter of *journalism*, if you know that someone is *literally* unable to act as a witness in their own defense due to pathologies...
