Maloney is a fine Irish name, so I suspect that Cliff Maloney knew perfectly well that the 53 voters registered at a convent would really live there.

Unearthed audio finds latest Republican with hateful abortion opinions

Friday, October 25, 2024 at 10:00:24a PDT

Rep. David Schweikert of Arizona

Republican Rep. David Schweikert of Arizona said women who get abortions in the United States "hate the country because they only care about themselves.”

HuffPost reported that Schweikert made the comments in a 2022 interview with a conservative radio host Seth Leibsohn.
In the interview, Schweikert said of women who get abortions: “They hate their neighbors because they only care about themselves. They hate that baby because it symbolizes a responsibility.”

clearly "Your uterus is the property of the state!" is now a republican policy plank. note also, how they always manage to sneak in “baby” in the place of ‘embryo’. @#$@!!s

Someone who hates the country because they only care about themselves? That would be your boss, Donald Trump.

Cease and desist the Skullduggery.

If you don’t, he’s coming for you.

CEASE & DESIST: I, together with many Attorneys and Legal Scholars, am watching the Sanctity of the 2024 Presidential Election very closely because I know, better than most, the rampant Cheating and Skullduggery that has taken place by the Democrats in the 2020 Presidential Election. It was a Disgrace to our Nation! Therefore, the 2024 Election, where Votes have just started being cast, will be under the closest professional scrutiny and, WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again. We cannot let our Country further devolve into a Third World Nation, AND WE WON’T! Please beware that this legal exposure extends to Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials. Those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our Country.

The Washington Post always made a presidential recommendation - not this year. Bezo’s wretchedly wimped out @#$!

Retired Washington Post Executive Editor Marty Baron slammed the decision on social media.

…“This is cowardice, with democracy as its casualty,” Baron wrote. “@RealDonaldTrump will see this as an invitation to further intimidate owner @JeffBezos (and others). Disturbing spinelessness at an institution famed for courage.”

fffff…k!!! ((really need a super large billionaire tax to regain social sanity))

History will not be kind* to people who went out of their way not to take a position in this election, out of all elections, when the choice is so clear and the stakes could not possibly be any higher. At least one of the WaPo editors resigned today following this announcement, and the LA Times just lost three of their editors yesterday over their ownership making the exact same decision no to publish an endorsement. Resignation is obviously the only right choice in this circumstance but it really sucks for those people. It’s hard enough to find a paying job in journalism these days so quitting has to be painful.

It will. Tyrants and fascists never last forever. Usually, they last a lot less than they intend to.
