the real irony is the she and Lisa Murkowski would be among the first up against the wall in a successful January 6-type insurrection trying to please everyone usually just leads to you being respected by no one and despised by all Collins and her type of self-serving, two-faced enablers are...

but @vimothy you are absolutely correct that this will have to be resolved by negotiations hopefully sooner rather than later, so among other things Ukrainians who fled can return home

I think if anything the descent into bloody stalemate militates against nuclear weapons, at least that seemed much less unlikely when the news was all the Russians getting their asses handed to them they seem to basically have achieved/be achieving their objectives unfortunately potential...

I thought from day 1 that the Western defense establishment was primarily interested in extracting as high a Russian cost as possible tbf I was hardly the only person saying that and I don't think all Western govt pro-democracy, concern for Ukraine talk is completely disingenuous, just...

I think both sides generally do. Russia and the U.S. have been playing this proxy war game war 70+ years, after all, so not to respect it is bad form. within certain limits ofc - you can send these kinds of weapons, but not those weapons. you can sanction, but no boots on the ground. and so...

anyway, I could see such laws being passed in bible belt states but they'd be impossible to enforce and, I believe, still unconstitutional barring an amendment the Supreme Court can make absolute terrible decisions on existing law but it can't create new law whole cloth

I think there would be very little help from libertarian right, simply bc there are very few actual libertarians in the U.S. digression: like all empires, we have a core value - rugged individualism - we nominally cherish and use to measure the worth of our society against others, but for the...

oh I'm sure the party of Larry Craig and Mark Foley will be a completely hypocrisy-free pillar of rectitude

yeah it would require a Constitutional amendment, which is a virtual impossibility (unfortunately, so is one protecting the right to abortion) that's why even tho the Texas law from last year has that insane proviso that any citizen can sue any other citizen who "aids and abets" someone to...

no, I believe that was a reference to last year's law banning abortion after just 6 weeks, which already was forcing many women to travel out of state I'd have to ask an actual lawyer, but I'm pretty sure there'd be no way to enforce such a law bc there is still isn't (and won't be) any federal...

lmao @ the comments asking why he didn't also target protection interracial marriage while he was at it, under the exact same reasoning I don't think that's realistic, fortunately, which is why it's a solo opinion but to even see it brought up is depressing I'd say he was the worst justice in...

side note: this is obv terrible if expected news, but I am proud to live in the only state outside the coasts where abortion is explicitly protected by law and I'm glad that women from Indiana, Michigan, Iowa, Ohio, Wisconsin, Missouri, etc will be able to come here for legal and safe abortions...

which is why Texans are already going to Mexico for abortions drugs where they're - again, not surprisingly - much more loosely regulated and readily available other people will go to Canada, or one of the coasts, or etc

nb: I don't know the ins and outs of abortion law state by state so anyone doing that should in a trigger state should act accordingly the whole point is to be able to do it anonymously, but just yunno take precautions if necessary i.e. Texas - no surprise - regulates mistoprostol much more...

we all knew it was coming and we all know what will happen women won't stop getting abortions if they have the $, they'll go to places where it's legal and have it done safely by medical professionals or they'll order mistoprostol etc (if anyone you know needs the pills, or just want to post...

that's enough to get you started @Leo anyway, he must've been pretty old, so what can you do, but a true great will be remembered as long the spirit of the groove lives on

my favorite of his downtempo/sleaze tunes I think those same same swelling strings from X-15, here as scaffolding for one of his roster of excellent female vocalists to torch sing and vamp

you can definitely hear him reusing his ideas sometimes which is no surprise considering how insanely prolific he was from 1976-83 or so i.e. this is kind of a test run for all the later seasick synths sleaze and bumbleebee stuff a true synth genius btw

another post-disco Garage type banger
