Fundraising?! The regime is disappearing people into privately-run detention facilities, shipping them off to countries they've never been to in their lives without due process, and preparing to deploy the military domestically, and the Bidens think that one of the biggest priorities is fundraising?!

Well when women's rights were taken away with abortion being banned, within the hour they send texts wanting money to help bring back Roe v. Wade.

And they got the money. And didn't give women their right back. Weird how that works.

I once counted the number of sessions that Democrats held the governorship and both chambers of the legislature in Wisconsin since 1973, and while it was not a huge number, it was non-zero. Yet, somehow Wisconsin's abortion ban went back into effect when Dobbs overturned Roe in 2022. How could they not get that law repealed in a span of nearly 50 years, when women's reproductive choice was a top Democratic priority?

(/s, natch)

It's such a top priority, its why they pushed for making it law! ...Okay they never did, but it looks good to say they did!

Words are more important than actions!
