He does something illegal on a practically daily basis and everyone just kisses his ass. Now I guess he can just continue on and conquer the whole world and kidnap world leaders. Why doesn’t anyone stand up to this asshole?

    Side note: Desegregation started the anti abortion movement. The GOP wasn’t getting sufficient votes from opposing desegregation so they trumped up the abortion issue and got churches onboard.

    Always stuns me to think that when I was born, abortion was a non-issue for everyone but Catholics, can’t imagine such a world.

    If anyone wants to know, highlight and search that first sentence. It’s almost weird how clearly documented it was.

      The older I get, the more i realize that religion is just another tool to control people. Religion, politics, taxes, laws are all really the same thing. A means of control for crazy people who want to control others.

        Unfortunately, populations need controlled. We didn’t evolve to operate in groups of more than 250 or so.

        You’re right, all those things are means of control, hence why we fight about who and how that control is wielded.
