In my experience, Republicans want the kids born but don't care how, or if, they live.

Otherwise they would support child healthcare, universal daycare, maternal leave etc.

A Nazi, a Klansman, and a sexist walk into a bar...

and the bartender says "We don't serve Republicans here."

Republicans lied, cheated, and stole to get here today.

They lied to the Senate during confirmation hearings.
Mitch McConnell cheated the Constitution and stole a SCOTUS seat from Obama.
This is fascism at it's best.
What recourse do we have?
Really?
Time to make BLM protests look like a church picnic.

What has Trump cost Republicans in lawyer fees alone? Millions?

Each of them dealing with the Jan 6 committee has to have at least one lawyer if not a whole firm.
MTG and her thing.
All of his election lawyers are in court for violations and such
All of them are getting caught up in legal battles.
I know the GOP is paying Trump's lawyers but they are not paying for all these mook's attorneys too.
What have these idiots had to pay for involving themselves with Trump?
What has been their dollar costs?
These lawyers are not cheap
hundreds of $$ an hour and court appearances
Will the lawyer fees alone break many of them?

Team USA Qualified for the World Cup

It wasn’t pretty. We lost 2 to 0 Costa Rica but we are in.
USA has a lot of work to do, not just be competitive, but not get embarrassed when they go to play the big boys
But it’s still a great thing to be back in, rather than out. Just ask Italy.

Plane carrying Donald Trump made emergency landing in New Orleans after engine failure over Gulf of

Source: Washington Post

A plane carrying former president Donald Trump suffered engine failure late Saturday evening over the Gulf of Mexico, forcing the pilot to make an emergency landing in New Orleans shortly after taking off from the city.
The plane carrying Trump was forced to immediately return to the airport and make the unscheduled landing in Louisiana shortly before 11 p.m., according to people familiar with the episode. The plane was attempting to take Trump home to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla., from the Four Seasons Hotel in New Orleans, where he spoke to some of the party’s top donors at a private event.
The incident was first reported by Politico. A Trump spokesman declined to comment.
The flight had gone approximately 75 miles after taking off from New Orleans Lakefront Airport, reaching an altitude of about 28,000 feet before turning around, according to tracking data from ADSBexchange.com. The Dassault Falcon 900 carried a retinue of Secret Service agents, other support staff, Trump and some of his advisers, the people said. One of the plane’s engines failed, according to people familiar with the episode.

About ZonkerHarris

Nixon was a fucking crook. As a teenager I marched on the UN in 1982 with a million other people demanding we get rid of the threat of nuclear weapons hanging over our heads. Since then I've worked to get Democrats elected like John Aristotle Phillips, known as the A-Bomb Kid when he ran for Congress against Stuart McKinney in CT in the 80's (we lost twice) through the Obama campaign in 2008 and 2012. I want to legalize cannabis, reform our prison for profit system, cut our military budget, get out of Afghanistan and push solar energy panels into every building in the USA.
