Not strictly politics, but apparently Showtime is planning a limited series about Roger Ailes and just cast Russell Crowe:

It depends on the state. In some states, it's perfectly legal. I still don't understand how it can be your religious view to not end a pregnancy where the fetus has already died. What exactly are your religious beliefs? Women deserve to die of secondary infection b/c they had the temerity to miscarry? Exactly. And what about doctors who perform a D&C? How is this wrong if the heart has already stopped?

Local voting question. In our primary, there are 7 people running for 6 judgeships. (Sucks for the 1 odd person out!) If you've voted for judges before (I haven't in recent memory) how do you go about choosing? The local bar association usually does recommendations.

Please dear God press corps, don't ask about the Red Hen at today's briefing. We all know nothing will come of the ethics violations, and you know they're just looking for an excuse to keep hammering them for being big mean meanies.

I think there should be a tweet campaign from now until it starts at the press corps stating this. I really should get my own twitter..

What previously was known as the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award will now be known as the Children’s Literature Legacy Award. The name change was voted on earlier this year and is due to the racist language/themes in Wilder’s books. www-m.cnn.com/2018/06/25/us/laura-ingalls-wilder-book-award-trnd/index.htmlI’d have to re-read them myself since it’s been so long, although the article does have a few quotes from the books and how they discuss Native Americans.

That and the minstrels, where Pa and the other men wear blackface. There are quite a few problematic parts.

They’ve got some pretty bad stuff about Native Americans in them (I remember one character says the only good Indian is a dead Indian, and I think there’s some dress up stuff later in the series). And I love these books so I’m sad to report that. My memory is that the museum is actually pretty upfront about addressing it and offers some good resources.

Pharmacist refused to sell prescription to woman because it violated her ethical beliefs. This is getting out of hand. This is so fucked up and really makes me rage and flash back to the day I had to get the medication. I can remember everything so vividly and if a pharmacist would have refused to give it to me, it would have broken me. I was barely holding myself together for the short time after, so much so my DH was worried about me actually driving my own car home from our first US appointment. Fuck that pharmacist.

That POS just tweeted about Maxine Waters again, referring to her as "an extraordinarily low IQ person."
$÷>@&$*%!!! Among other things, just imagine how people who have family members with low IQs feel when they read or hear that. I wish we could give him an IQ test. I bet Waters' score would blow his out of the water.

I read a comment from a Trump supporter on a CNN video saying that Elizabeth Warren should be smacked across the face.
So.....I’m over being called out for civility.

Not on 'purpose', she was choking. this may have been a week or so ago, but CNN decided it was enough of a story to report on it. and BTW @cnn Flint still doesnt have clean water, and no power in Puerto Rico (just in case they decide to troll our board)

Why are we talking about civility dying when the left FINALLY grows a spine and starts standing up? This is really pissing me off. Sarah was judged on her character content. Not her skin color, not her religion, not her sexual orientation. Why are the liberals always being called snowflakes, we've spent the last TWO fucking years listening to 'lock her up' 'bleeding from where ever' 'i moved on her like a bitch' 'VERY FINE PEOPLE' calling NFL players "sons of bitches" every time we've said whoa whoa whoa thats not cool, we're told we're too sensitive, we can't handle it, stop being so PC. Enough, apparently the only thing that base hears is the most basest coarsest words and if we have to sink to their level, so be it. I feel like we've been fighting a fire with a squirt gun and its time for a deluge. At the end of the day, to Trump supporters, none of what we do as "Liberals" is right - they hate everything we are and everything we stand for.
I am all for it as long as it's respectable, and the owner at the Red Hen was well beyond respectable.
