Even though most Americans do not agree with the radical actions being taken by the Supreme Court, they are still pushing their agenda in defiance of our democracy. I see this as a last-ditch effort for the religious sect to try and control and hold onto any influence they had on people.
Republicans know that they cannot possibly win in November on their practically non-existent policies, so they are counting on two other things: gerrymandering and voter suppression. So far, courts packed with partisan Republican judges are giving them permission to do both of these things as often as they like.
More of Trumps side of the story might come out if so many of his former lawyers and staff didnt always plead the Fifth Amendment. They know that if they actually did tell Trumps side of the story theyd be in very deep trouble.
Abortion is such a hot-button issue. I have never had an abortion but I would never judge someone for making that decision. There are many people who should have had one rather than bringing a child into this world and then allowing them to be assaulted, physically and sexually or to go hungry. That is the kind of abuse that is not understandable. Not everyone is meant to be a parent, and everyone knows someone that has kids that shouldnt have them.
After initially saying that she wanted to clear things up, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomass wife, Ginni Thomas, has said that she does not want to meet with the Select Committee because she doesnt think that she has much information to share. How funny, she planned and helped pay for the insurrection, and she pestered Republican lawmakers to push for overturning the election, yet she thinks she doesnt have much to share?
A little bit about this Mr. Ornato who they claim is disputing Miss Hutchinsons account of Trumps behavior in the Beast that he relayed to her. Mr. Ornato was reassigned to Secret Service Training because he was not trusted to protect President Biden, as he had become very close to Donald Trump.

Did you ever think that oil companies are keeping gas prices high to help Republicans get elected in exchange for more tax breaks?
On July 23, 2017, 39 immigrants were found dead in the back of a trailer in a Wal-Mart parking lot in San Antonio, Texas. Republicans were silent then as they are now about that because Trump was President and Abbott was Texas governor. This also happened in 2003 when Bush was President. You cant pick and choose when something horrific is really bad, depending on who is in power.
Rep. Lauren Boebert says she is tired of separation of church and state. How about the Quran or Buddhists or possibly the Wiccan religion could guide us?
Remember that you can still be a Republican if you do not vote for Trump. You just know he is not in his right mind; he lost the election and it was a riot.
Never fails that when I want to know what the left is thinking, and up to, I just read the Quicklys. Im sure this wont ever make it for others to view, because thats how the left works, they are all about silencing dissenting views or opinions of their agenda. And I now know that the P-T is a far left leaning propaganda pusher of fake news. Prove me wrong! If this never makes it to the public, then you just did!
After the abortion ruling, the Vatican said that anti-abortion activists should be concerned with other issues that threaten life, such as easy access to guns, poverty, and rising maternity rates. If you are really pro-life, you dont get to cherry-pick only one issue and focus on that while the others are ignored.
