You know how people called women hysterical for predicting the right wing would take down Roe v. Wade (which they've done) and then attack access to birth control (which they're doing)?
Hear me when I say that women's very right to vote is next.

A drug addict usurped congressional power, and unilaterally gutted US soft power.
Members of the administration knew about, and were disturbed by, his drug use (WSJ).
