How is the NYT still so respected by so many? I cancelled my subscription months ago. I can still play all their puzzles without paying for them. I’ll get over the withdrawal if they start charging me. My paying them one cent is not happening.

Thank you for this excellent piece..Now I don’t have to explain why the NYT & The Washington Post are nothing more than toilet paper..With the exception of perhaps Jennifer Rubin, Mike Schmidt and a few others..

Mike Pence is a very strange person. Mike Johnson can get across the maddeningly beatific affect of a genuine religious nut — he's got it down perfectly, with his accountant's appearance and his innocent, beaming smile — but Pence has chosen a demeanor of deep, perpetual probing concern, like a gelded Clint Eastwood who never gets out of the squinting-at-the-injustice stage and into the growling-and-shooting stage. I don't really understand him at all, and I'm familiar with Indiana.

Two egregious colonizer twatwaffles. Johnson's pink freshly scrubbed cheeks and Pence's rehearsed pained patronizing assholeish squint over drawn cheeks.

I support right to life. If you don’t then you should have been aborted.

58% of Ohio voters amended our constitution to protect Roe-level rights to reproductive care, including eighteen Trump counties.

Apart from that a lot of voters are idiots and DeWine is a fuckwit, although he did a good job with COVID by ignoring Trump and just protecting us. Often, sadly, from one another.

We’ve got some real “Deliverance” counties here.

When the Republican Party implodes in “Rowevember”, the tombstone for it will be, “”Here Lies The GOP, 1854-2024. Learn from us: we believed our own press.”

So much for the New York Times fact-checking department...

Prolife is such a misnomer. Ban abortion! Not a cent for universal healthcare. For universal childcare. For free prekindergarten. For generous SNAP benefits. For generous and monthly child tax credit payments. For no work requirements so that parents or grandparents or guardians can stay home with the children. For no work credits given to caregivers in the social security system for caregivers of all kinds. For generous universal Medicaid waiver benefits for children and adults with complex care needs. That would be a START in being pro life. And I want all these things PLUS abortion care for any and all reasons at all times because healthcare is healthcare and because you can’t freely choose to have children if you aren’t able to freely choose to have them and truly have them.

Agreed..pro life? Oh like health, liberty, love, privacy, all that stuff of life? No, none of that, it's about having Holy Mike Johnson and Trump of all people go along to your doctor visits with you so you can bow to the Caucasian sky god. Not your god or your life choices. No, Mike wants to keep your filthy sinning ass out of his lake of fire, doesn't that sound nice? Didn't even know you were filthy? Mike and the Golden Ass are here to help.

Anyone on the side of thinking that babies are aborted at term is a right proper fuckwit. You don’t have to be a medical doctor to read up on abortion in the third trimester and why it’s necessary. No woman wants to go through this, these are obviously wanted children. If you’re going to cry about sanctity of life, I suggest that includes the mother’s life too.

They don't care about the mother's life.

And they sure as hell don’t care about the child after it’s born. Talk about a really really late term abortion….

His bullshit statements made me physically nauseous. There is no debating these people.

They live in their own reality. On Earth3. And trying to convince them of my humanity is not only futile, but humiliating.

And then there’s the NYT.

I canceled my subscription over a year ago.

Wapo came next after arguing that liberal women should just “take one for the team” and partner with bigoted men for the good of society.

Fuck that shit all the way into a black hole.

We know who owns these publications, and they aren’t the kinda people that vote for providing lunches to school children. 🧒

Omfg, yes! That WaPo article did it for me too. WTH?

I gave that shit Wapo article (with several women on the Editorial Board signing off on it) to all my girl friends. None had heard of it. All were rightly offended. Then I added that subscription to the burn pile.

Excellent post. Just excellent. Mike Pence is indeed a fuckwad of the highest order. My hope is that women and younger voters will come out in droves and vote these assholes out. The pendulum has got to swing back. The majority of voters don’t want to see America set back 100 years. And I hate the NYT so much. 💙👍🏻
