Right. Point your finger at Cybertruck, highest government office in the land calls for your arrest. Run over protestors with your brodozer? Clear case of self defense.

Get the fuck out of here.

Multiple angles really.

Biggest one is that a child is both a financial and mental stress on a parent, and our society overwhelming believes that children are primarily the responsibility of the mother. By attacking abortion, they basically saying that every woman is just one sexual assault away from a lifetime of financial, emotional, mental and social duress.

The second reason is class stratification. The financial stresses impact less wealthy families or individuals disproportionately, and less wealthy people cannot afford to travel to areas where reproductive care is legal, nor can they afford the lawyers required to fight the potential criminal cases or just pay their fines. The rich conservatives bankrolling these anti-abortion groups aren't threatened or beholden to the policy they create.

The third reason is racism. Black women are more likely to seek abortions, partly because they suffer a higher incidence of sexual assault, but also because they have less access to reproductive resources and education. Republicans have dog whistled this in the past by trying to say that abortions are racist because black women have a disporportionate number of abortions, even going so far as to call it a Democrat genocide on African-Americans. This dog whistle shows their true intentions; force financial, mental, and social stress in ways that are "equal" along racial lines, but not "equitable".

You could say that religion is a 4th reason, but I don't consider it a real reason, and they cherry-pick their religious convictions anyway. You see those motherfuckers eating shellfish and wearing blended fibers all the time.

Did you forget about the attempted nazi march in Cincinnati? The locals set fire to their shit and sent them scurrying back to their Uhaul.

Clearly a false flag attack based on that spray paint alone.

Why would you bother burning the GOP HQ because of ICE? Not that I would condone it, but I'd probably write something like, "When fascism comes to America, it will be carrying a cross and wrapped in a flag". Plus, ICE is operating more the the SS than the KKK. SS was a legal government organization that systematically persecuted the state's enemies using brutal tactics and complete disregard of human rights to get results. KKK is just a bunch racist beerbellied 'good ol boys' who are worried that black men are going woo all their eligible sisters. Anyone actually frustrated enough with the situation to set fire to a building wouldn't spray paint such a silly miscomparison.

It was probably started by someone's cybertruck.

I meant that the people with guns and violent tendencies are getting pissed off. Republicans won't show up in their own districts/townhall meetings anymore. Thomas Crooks took a shot at trump before all of the recent problems he's caused. I can't imagine him holding an open air rally anywhere in the US right now.

Yes, he is still popular among Republicans, but he only needs to be extremely unpopular with just one psychotic gun nut, and he's pissed a lot of them off recently.

They do still mount guns on most. Notable examples of gunless fighters I can think of are the F-117 Nighthawk and the F-4 Phantom. F-117s weren't really fighters, and got the F designation to lure in crazy fighter jocks. F-4s were later fitted with a gun pod, and then (IIRC) retrofitted with a gun.

No one has been thrown out a window in Russia, what a baseless accusation about very tragic suicides. Now please, shoot yourself in the back of the head three times and then zip yourself into a duffel bag.

I would honestly be surprised if he survives his current term.

Probably late in October.

Edit: misread this as "how long until"

I hate it when they have a modern fighter jet firing it's guns and it sounds like "thunka thunka thunka thunka".
