    Salute to republiQan women all over these United States. You’d be an inspiration if the slaves could have voted to stay enslaved. Kudos on your complete and total failure to support the women of tomorrow.

      Betteridge’s Law…

      “Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no.” It is named after Ian Betteridge, a British technology journalist who wrote about it in 2009, although the principle is much older. It is based on the assumption that if the publishers were confident that the answer was yes, they would have presented it as an assertion; by presenting it as a question, they are not accountable for whether it is correct or not. The adage does not apply to questions that are more open-ended than strict yes–no questions.

    Thing that experts working in the effected field overwhelmingly predicted would happen, actually happens. Voters stunned.

      Well, the direct intent was to create hierarchical misery, all the voters are under the assumption it’ll hurt the people that deserve it

        The cruelty is the point, as usual. Making the world worse is OK as long as it hurts other Americans I don’t like.

          If things get worse for them, it’ll be better for me!

          God can only create so much good stuff, so the less of it others get the more he’ll give me.

      Voters stunned.

      Voters pleased with the choice they’ve made because of their insane religious beliefs. This is the leopard eating the other faces.

          It’s both. I’ve spent plenty of time in Texas and trust me, there are more than plenty voters over the moon about this.

              My condolences. I don’t like giving away personal info on these sites, but I lived in a similar environment for a roughly similar period of time. I know how draining it can be and I’m glad it sounds like you escaped like I did.

      MAGoo logic. Our program is perfect. If there are failures, it’s because we didn’t work hard enough.
