President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Yeah. No shame whatsoever in publicizing your awfulness.

 

Let me point this out: it costs a fuck ton of money to raise a disabled child and even more to provide for him after your death. What if suing the doctor was your best shot of finding that money?

 

That's not the case here.

 

On the contrary, most of those parents have aching hearts because the children have to suffer so much.

 

I really don't want any part of this larger discussion, but is this really any more selfish than any other abortion?

 

Meanwhile, at a public part of Trump's first full Cabinet meeting, he went around asking each Secretary to praise him, which isn't weird or creepy at all.

 

No. That's part of the point. For all the talk of the mother's life being endangered, back alleys, blah, blah, blah, abortion is almost always a selfish act of convenience. And because a certain group has fought to normalize the act, people like these assholes see no problem in their public adoption and admission of awfulness.

 

Link?

 

Sweet!

Maybe this abortion derail will finally be the one to change minds and settle the abortion question for all time.

 

Of course. If you demonize everyone who disagrees with you, it lessens the burden of accountability. QY wants to argue that everything he supports is okay because the other side is so awful.

 

President Trump's first Cabinet meeting was extraordinarily bizarre

 

This is the most terrifying thing out there. The Tea Party could, in theory, create a revolution if they get enough states to go along. And they're close to the number they need. A state-ordained religion. Or a prohibited religion. The end of all government assistance to the poor. (This one, I know, is a joyous thought to many.) States having the right to limit voting to property owners, an idea espoused by conservative, Christian heroes such as Pat Buchanan. What about the end of the federal income tax? Americans would rejoice until they realized it's difficult to drive on crumbling roads, dangerous to fly without airport security, difficult to pay bills previously met with the help of Social Security, attend college without federally backed loans, etc.
