You ask how fucked is the US Senate. Well, 96 out of 100 senators take money from the Israel Lobby, which includes AIPAC. And in case you’re wondering, only 17 members of the 435-member US House refuse to take any of this money.

Bill Riley's avatar

In Note 16, you have good things to say about Chris Van Hollen. Here’s more good news: he is one of only four senators who don’t take AIPAC money from the Israel Lobby!

Thanks BR., for that info. Geeze. Fuck the SCROTUS and Citizens United.

There are around 25 senators who support cutting off aid to Israel

Meanwhile, here's an underreported story for you: Wisconsin Bill Number:AB-718/SB-734

"This bill would require women to use “catch kits” when they have a miscarriage or abortion–literally forcing them to bag up their pregnancy tissue and bring it back to the doctor’s office as medical waste."

Friends, over 50 years ago I nearly died from a miscarriage, and I can tell you, a miscarriage doesn't happen on schedule, or where you can bag anything up. And it happens fast and damn near kills you.

So, once again for the cheap seats: THE GOP REALLY, REALLY, REALLY HATE WOMEN.

OMG CE., Why doesn't this surprise me? Let them make their robots Women and leave the rest of the females on the planet alone. Assholes.

I live in WI. Relax. Ain’t never gonna happen. Unfortunately, we have wingnut republican legislature. It’s probably one lone freakshow bringing this stupid thing. The democratic governor will never sign it into law. We have a 4-3 liberal majority on our Supreme Court with a fifth most likely getting elected next month.

Whoever brought it, and I’m sure it’s a man, is going to get laughed out of the state.

CroneEver's avatar

From your lips to God's ear. Oh, and one of the two who brought it up's female:

Rep. Lindee Rae Brill (R-Sheboygan Falls), Sen. Andre Jacque (R-New Franken)

Someone needs to change Lindee's name to Aunt Lydia.

More bs to eff with the feminine side!

That makes me so mad. 20 years ago I was having a miscarriage, bled so much I passed out at home, then went to emergency room. While waiting to be seen, went to the bathroom. I think that is when the fetus vacated the premises. But not sure because the toilet auto-flushed before I could look and see. No way to catch and bring it to doctor. WTF is wrong with these people?

CroneEver's avatar

That's exactly what happened to me! I bled so much I passed out, and got taken to the ER. I had to have 9 units of blood. You can't catch 9 units of blood.

(1) They really hate women

(2) They are really afraid of any of the facts of women's biology, and find it icky and nasty and too complicated

(3) They're idiots. All of them.

First, Hegseth wouldn’t know an actual, real Christian if he fell over one. Second, no, Pam, no one is done with the Epstein files, and we certainly don’t listen to pedophile supporters. Markwayne (what a stupid name), will probably, literally, shoot himself in the foot before long. He’s that much of a doofus.

I called Fetterman's office (215-241-1090) to ask how much Trump is paying him to vote with Republican's. No one answered so I left a message and said he was a disgrace to the Democratic Party. He is a DINO: DEMOCRAT IN NAME ONLY.

Joan Wiersma's avatar

H's sick and he SHOULD be removed!

Tina's avatar

100% agree. I would never watch Fox Fake News, but the news networks I watch show Republican's praising him for voting with their side and he loves the attention he gets from them. Totally DISGUSTING to watch.

• Best quote: “Trump’s War without Congressional approval is the ultimate abuse of presidential power.“

More on Trump’s War:

• Bizarre that Iran supposedly was about to attack us so why we had to attack first. Why in the world would they attack when they would know that the US would respond strongly with no holds barred and would have the support of most of the country and world.

• What could the cost of the Iran war be spent domestically - Google Search Keep a running count.

• $1 Billion a Day for War in Iran Could Help Every Family Who Needs Healthcare and Food Stamps.

• Need more attention on innocent Iranian civilian deaths.

• Trump says US may strike Iran’s Kharg Island oil export hub ‘just for fun’ | US-Israel war on Iran | The Guardian.

• Trump claimed one of his predecessors told him he regretted not attacking Iran himself, but representatives for all four living former presidents denied they had spoken to Trump recently. Trump is the Lyin' king and say that the public should not trust anything he says.

• Meidas: Trump’s PAC sent a fundraising email promising donors “private national security briefings” about the Iran war. The solicitation even featured imagery from a dignified transfer of fallen American service members. Pete Buttigieg summed it up bluntly on CNN: “Any politician who raises campaign funds over the bodies of America’s war dead has no business leading American troops into war.”

Hey NW, If you get a chance go check out Tulski G. telling the committee that there was no threat from Iran. Priceless in a sad way.

Love Pete Buttigieg Love how he always sounds so logical

I sure am glad that you posted that piece about Chavez.

Let’s remove his name everywhere and honor Dolores Huerta.

Fuck the GOP. They have been grifting off this country for decades. They talk like they really care about our Military, Schools, Nation, while they quietly change laws to put our money in their deep ass pockets. Thank Reagan for Citizens United, closing the mental hospitals and dumping millions of vulnerable people out on the streets, busting the Air Traffic Controllers union, etc etc. And a a second Fuck You to the Dems who joined the class war. Bush 1 ‘borrowed’ money from our Social Security and never paid it back. He and his little monkey Bush 2 ravaged the Middle East for decades and abandoned our allies the minute they were done raping their countries for oil. Now they put a known felon pedophile back into office & look where we are now. Time to primary the old guard, folks. The youngs have better ideas.

Ditto! Ditto!! DITTO!!!

The DOD needs more money because they spent the money they had on lobster, steak, fruit basket stands, crab legs, ice cream machines, donuts, and a grand piano.

And Thanks again Adam & Sam for keeping it real and swearing and funny..and for this community of funny swearing engaged people.

That is why when this is all over, and it will be someday, not one of the old guard, not one, senate or house, will be in office. A complete overhaul, no status quo, it ALL has to change. Democratic Socialist.

Alicia Menendez on MS Now is good. Moving to a program of her own is deserving.

So what's the point of having these confirmation hearings, if the pussy (sorry) republicans are going to put the degenerates through anyway? Markwayne proved himself to be a gigantic asshole with his threats, his narcissism, his racism, his total lack of humanity and yet they still advanced him to be the Secretary of Homeland Security. We thought ICE was bad before, I can't even imagine what this raving lunatic will allow them to do now.
