Whenever someone insists we can’t elect a woman president I think about how we went 219 years without electing a Black president and then we did. After all this shit I still believe in America.

Was there a congressional appropriation for this, or are we at the stage of openly robbing the treasury without any pretext at all?

Worth remember that this is not something that the Executive has the power to do in the American constitutional system.

“*the child's interest is more important than the parent's right to be an idiot*” is applicable in basically every “parental rights” claim. American policy is structured so that children are the property of their parents, and if children have to be maimed or die, that’s a fair price. It’s monstrous.

This is an extremely common thing and a serious reckoning with informed consent needs to take it into account. Also the fact that *the child's interest is more important than the parent's right to be an idiot*
Cognitive dissonance reduction strategy. To admit you are wrong is to admit you are a monster who hurt your own child for nothing.

Kevin Roberts, President of The Heritage Foundation, claims that evidence suggests a correlation between undergoing Trans Medical Care and acts of violence.
He states Heritage's public policy solution is to ban it for all ages and they're willing to work towards this goal on an incremental basis.

So SCOTUS, with its fabricated-out-of-thin-air immunity doctrine, has actually made American presidents less accountable than LITERAL royalty.

no one ever asked republicans for specific details on how “mass deportations” would work and now here we are
Remarkable: Majority of working class voters oppose deportations of undocumented immigrants with jobs/no criminal records, per new Marquette data.
Remember how pundits said 2024 meant Dems must become restrictionist to win back working class? I challenge that here:
