Mike Luckovich for June 30, 2024

Yes, the MAGA (former Republicans) who say they prize freedom have made plans to interfere with or take away all our most intimate personal freedoms and they are not being quiet about it. We will not be secure in our own households or in our own bedrooms or in the privacy of our doctors’ offices and hospitals. Their invasion of our personal privacy has already started. And the boxes of privacy they are planning to take away also include LGBTQ+ rights and gay marriage. They just can’t leave people alone in their most intimate decisions, except when it comes to gun ownership…Then it’s okay to own any kind of gun without restrictions, as long as it can be used to kill others. Let’s vote to make sure that in this election we stop the steal: VOTE BLUE up and down the ballot shout NO and put a damper on their efforts to invade our privacy and to begin to restore what they have already begun taking away.

Women unite

If Trump is reelected, one of the goals is to make Federal employees “Schedule F”. Then, he can appoint people (including experts) loyal to him. Then those individuals can use the existing structure to make radical changes. For example, his new FDA could just declare morning after medication dangerous and that will be that. Rinse & repeat across multiple agencies and that will be that. Trump will say he’s not to blame, because it’s the “experts”.

Every voter should be made aware of “Project 2025” and its desired goals.

It’s terrible that we have to fight these battles over and over again.

The only fair way to fight the extreme views of both parties if to require state legislatures to put reproductive issues up for voter referendum. Our abortion laws would probably be different if only the women in the state legislators could vote on the issue. I wouldn’t dream of voting for a liberal democrat, but I would vote for making abortions illegal after 20 weeks of gestation. Better still, the government should just butt out until the murder statutes kick in. Third term abortions should never happen except to save the mother’s life. Nobody should wait that long.

Yes and every voter should be also be made aware the total disaster and self inflicted mortal wound voting for him will certainly be suicidal!

Good morning Mike, another true to life republican Way of life! Lie Cheat AND Steal

Mr. Havel, You might perhaps point out that the only thing Trump’s “experts” will be expert in is loyalty to Trump and Trump alone.

It’s very hard to understand how any adult woman could choose to vote for the forced-birth politicians instead of the party that will allow them make their own decisions about their own bodies.

Are women’s rights being eliminated by the Q/MAGA cohort?

Since Rove v Wade was overturned, abortions have gone up in the country.

As well as ignoring helping those in need of assistance with medical care, housing, food, education, etc.

The Wannabe supremely conservative court now consists of 3 very wise women and 6 party poopers

Theodore Roosevelt said “Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else.”

If women want it stopped, they can stop it.

Vote for Biden’s cabinet.

Not so long ago

We can still remember how

Our country used to make us smile

And we knew that we would see

That we could keep the people free

And maybe they’d be happy for a while

✨

But one November made me shiver

When all the ballots were delivered

Bad news on the doorstep

We couldn’t take one more step

♨

I Can’t remember if we cried

When we read about his blatant lies

Something touched us deep inside

The day Democracy died

So

Bye, bye Miss American Pie

Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry

And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye

Singin’ this’ll be the day that I die

This’ll be the day that I die

⛎

Did you burn the book of love?

And do you ignore your God above?

Does the Bible tell you so?

Do you believe in justice whole?

Can freedom save your mortal soul?

And somehow you think we don’t already know?

☁

Well, we know that you’re in bed with him

‘Cause we saw you colluding, treason’s sin

You both picked who would lose

Man, we don’t dig these puritan screws

☢

Joe was an aging hero up on a donkey

Alas a pink slip debate made it all go wonky

But we knew he was out of luck

The day Democracy died

♘

Now it’s fifteen minutes we’ve been on our own

And trouble grows fast and more is sown

But that’s not how it used to be

➗

When the jester tweeted it all away

With hatred, lies, and believe what I say…

In a style that came from you and me

⚡

Oh and while the eagle was looking down

The jester sold her sacred gown

We the People were adjourned

No progress was returned

♕

And while Fox lied about the reason

The Supremes laid out a plan for treason

And so began our nightmare season

The day Democracy died

⛅

Gas price melter in a summer swelter

The Cons leavin’ women without any shelter

Equal rights are falling fast

⛔

Freedom and choice landed foul and wouldn’t pass

The cons so pompous outlawing in mass

The jester tweeted all mine at last

☂

Now the carbon air was wafting doom

While oilmen played a drilling tune

We all got up to dance

Ohh, but we never got the chance

⛽

‘Cause the SCOTUS tried to take the field

Would the people refuse to yield?

Do you recall what twitter revealed

The day Democracy died?

☭

Oh, and here we all are in Wiki’s database

Twelve generations host this race

With no time left to start again

➰

So come on Justice be nimble, Justice be quick

Teflon Don spat out his oily shtick

’Cause cash is the devil’s only friend

Ω

Oh and as we watched him on the stage

Our hands were clenched in fists of rage

Fascists bound for Hell

Cast that Satan’s spell

⚒

And as the money flowed into the right

To fund their sacrificial might

We saw Satan laughing with delight

The day Democracy died

☻

We met a World that sings the greens

And we asked her for some happy scenes

But she just smiled and turned away

⚠

We went down to the Justice store

Where we’d won our freedom years before

But the judge there said democracy couldn’t stay

⚖

And in the streets the children screamed

The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed

But not a word was spoken

The liberty bells all were broken

⛈

And if the three men we admire the most

Thomas, George, and James’ ghosts

Could rise up they’d cry foul the most

The day Democracy died

➿

They were singing

Bye, bye Miss American Pie

Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry

Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye

Singin’ this’ll be the day

Project 2025 will eliminate that worry.

Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can’t stop them from doing.

Throw it back in their “lyin’ Redpublican faces”.

How absolutely perfect‼️

Ladies, vote in November like your bodies depend on it. You do not want to hand over your reproductive rights to a politician.

It’s up to the women of America to save us all from the fascists and MAGA traitors.

I really doubt that in their quest to take the U.S. back to the 1840s Republican/conservatives would also take away women’s right to vote. Nah, conservatives would never do that…

Both infant deaths and pregnant women deaths are up since Texas made its idiot abortion bans. Infant deaths are up, because infants that have too many defects that normally would have been aborted, cannot survive their defects. Some die immediately after birth. Devastating emotionally and physically to the mother who wanted the child only to see it still born or struggle for a short while before succumbing to its catastrophic defects.

Women dying, because doctor’s and hospital legal departments are more afraid of lawsuits than losing a human life.

Some women survive, but the damage to their bodies is so great that they cannot conceive children in the future.

It does prove with Republicans, cruelty really is the point.

They tell us the eyes are the windows into the soul. Take a deep look into the elephant’s eyes and tell me what you see…

Yes, and the birth of babies who can’t survive, tortured with heroic medical efforts; or babies who will need tremendous resources to be barely alive/profoundly disabled. Sex with men, for a woman, must be looking really not worth the risk

The real on-going steal being committed by the GOP. No member of the ‘Republican’ Party, with their clear unquestioned support for that CONVICTED FELON/COUP PLOTTER and their unforgiveable treason of putting their personal and party’s interest over the betterment of the US and thus, the world, should be elected in any of the coming elections.

Vote out every republican liar and thief in Roevember.

Conservatives live in a magical dream world of the past. And they want to force people to inhabit their fantasies as well, righteousness be darned.

To those not paying close attention: Yes, they are coming for no-fault divorce

Ask E Jean Carroll how 45 cares about women’s rights;

Sorry, these women still have every right to reproduce as much as they want. No one is stopping that.

And HOW many women will still vote for trump the treasonous?

No matter the tiny flaws, IF you want to keep our Democracy and freedom, Joe Biden is the only choice to lead our country for the next four years.
