Trump says groceries are down 98% from where they used to be. So if you were buying $10 eggs , they’re currently 2 cents now. Same with his $1.98 gas. I guess all of you better start swarming to the grocery stores |
pocohantas:So much less mentions. What a relief |
21 people dead in storms across Kentucky and Missouri. Residents from both states say this hurricane season has been terrible for them. DOGE cuts have left weather warning stations understaffed especially on the overnight shifts. In Kentucky, budget cuts, particularly within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) through cuts to DOGE, have led to staffing shortages and a strain on the National Weather Service field offices. This has resulted in a high vacancy rate (over 35%) in these offices, hindering their ability to perform their assigned functions, including issuing warnings and maintaining equipment.And….Republicans voted to cut FEMA. |
Lawag3:If you cared about deformed/disabled children so much you wouldn’t take the side of republicans. But that’s topic for another day. I’m advocating the woman be allowed to rest in peace. Before the advancement of medicine, what did people do when death came? They died. Was anyone accused of killing their unborn children because they allowed nature to take its course? I think not. You trying to frame it as killing a child is that typical republican redefinition you guys do when you want to lie through your teeth and paint your perceived opponents in a bad light. It’s one thing if the baby was viable before this happened. then we can say it’s a living baby that can exist in its own outside of its host. Therefore efforts to save it would make sense. But solely keeping her body alive for months to grow a baby is a prime example of not seeing women as human. |
Lawag3:Have you ever nursed anyone on life support before? If you have you won’t be saying this But then you forget they are doing this to potentially save a life of a child an unborn child the woman is practically dead that the family wants to pull the plug. If this was a case of the pregnancy will cause harm to the women then yeah I'm all in for that kind of abortion if it's rape then I leave it to the woman's humanity to show mercy and not punish an innocent child that did nothing wrong . But heck this is about protecting the fundamental right to exist, to live.I’m saying this is a decision for the woman and her family. Simple and short. No ifs and buts. The govt shouldn’t have a say on it. Biggest example of govt overreach if I ever saw one. Your statement in bold confirmed for me that you are probably not worth arguing with. A woman who decides to get rid of the result of sexual assault is punishing an innocent child? 🙄 You people really are the same wherever you find yourselves. A special breed of people that’s for sure |
Lawag3:A 9 week old fetus (that’s when her order started) is not your grand daughter Humanizing it so as to take away agency from a full human woman is not the winning argument you think it is. |
Lawag3:Not to mention the fetus that is being formed into a baby with this woman’s body is currently showing signs of fluid in the brain (hydrocephalus). If they survive (BIG IF), they’ll be a human with lifelong disability needing round the clock care. Ask republicans to vote for lifelong free healthcare, free housing, free food, transportation etc for them and the next thing you’ll hear is how they hate handouts. Yet they keep creating situations that lead to less empowered people who need constant help and support. |
Lawag3:You’re making assumptions on her behalf. Yes people do stay for extended periods on life support (not years. That’s just false information). People stay on extended life support when there’s hope for recovery. Sometimes there’s no hope but the family is having a hard time letting go. We give them time to grieve and finally make the decision to pull the plug. But the patient and the family are given the choice to make this decision on their own. Where the patient doesn’t have an advanced directive for an incident like this, the next person on the family tree is given the choice to make that decision. The list goes patient (or parents if a minor) spouse adult children adult siblings if none of the above is present In extenuating circumstances where a patient has chosen a power of attorney with a clear mind and under no duress before losing their ability to make their own decisions, then that POA supersedes all the above. What the govt is doing here is inserting themselves intimately into people’s lives to say they have ultimate power over their bodily autonomy above everyone listed above. Yet the Republicans keep claiming they are the party of small govt. no greater irony has ever existed than that statement. And yes all the stuff I described earlier does happen to them on life support. Recurrent UTIs, pneumonia, They can’t eat they have to be fed via peg tubes. Can’t breathe they have to be on a ventilator. Bed sores down to the bones if they’re not being turned at least every 2 hours. You can see their sacral bones peeking from their rotting flesh. It’s torturous awful existence that death is a mercy. This started when she was 9 weeks pregnant. So many months of torture because you guys can’t get yourselves to see women as more than cattle for breeding new offspring. I once had a guy on life support for two months because the family couldn’t make up their minds on what to do. Despite every kind of care you give, they basically rot from the inside out (for want of a better word). It’s a disgusting thing the state of Georgia is doing. Simple and short. |
It’s disgusting ObaIgwe1: |
LordReed:I used to work in the ICU and I can tell you that what’s involved in keeping that woman’s body alive just so she can be used as an incubator is nothing short of horrendous. Her body is actively trying to die and they’re doing everything they can to keep her in hell on earth just so she can be used to grow a fetus her family doesn’t even want. The vasopressors to keep her blood pressure from bottoming out will turn her fingers and toes purple and they’ll eventually die and fall off. Why? Because vasopressors work but constricting the blood vessels and concentrating blood supply to the vital organs only. It’s a dire last resort solution that’s only intended to be used as a short term solution before the patient is stabilized or unfortunately passes on. In her case she’s gone so what they are doing is basically desecrating a corpse. The ventilator she’s on is just a vector for all kinds of stuff to crawl down her throat and cause respiratory colonization. I guess that doesn’t matter now. Pretty sure they have all kinds of tubes sticking out her as well. Arterial line, probably a swan ganz, fecal management systems, urinary catheter etc. risk or pressure injuries/decubitus ulcers down to the bone Most ICU nurses will make you promise to let them go if they ever find themselves in that situation. Ridiculous pointless torture. |
happney65:He lies so easily and effortlessly. It’s shocking. Imaging having to pause and verify every single sentence that comes out of his mouth because no one with common sense can take a single thing he says at face value. He literally just lied about brokering a peace deal between India and Pakistan as if those who countries won’t come out and deny it. He just hopes that if he tells 300 lies and he only gets challenged on 150 of them, the remaining 150 lies will get unnoticed and slide into existence as accepted “facts” What a douchey awful man. |
The US president made similar claims over the next few days. On Wednesday, Trump again said he had "brokered" a deal between India and Pakistan. |
Trump negotiated a ceasefire between India and Pakistan? This is why bold faced disgusting lies need to be called out. Trump claimed he negotiated a cease fire. India immediately stepped up and denied any Trump involvement in the ceasefire. They even went on the news and lambasted him for lying. He immediately backed down and said he didn’t want to claim that he negotiated the ceasefire but “he helped”. The relentless bold faced lying doesn’t get exhausting? I would seriously question any dealings I have with people who lie so easily and smoothly

Acting Director of ICE Todd Lyons admitted today that nine people have died in ICE custody since Trump took over. He admitted to nine, which means there are probably more. Who are they? What are their names? Where are they from? Pretty sure Nazi Germans kept better records than these bumbling ijits The punishment for crossing a border (an imaginary line by trump’s own admission) should not be death. It’s cruel and unusual punishment. If you see nothing wrong with it, you’re scum. |
But his big beautiful birthday parade is more important. I guess 🙄 Donald Trump's "big, beautiful" bill would kick hundreds of thousands in Illinois off Medicaid. |
happney65:I have a bridge in the desert to sell to anyone who thinks he really cares about Americans |
Internet people won’t kill me. Trump’s company will be building a golf resort in Qatar, and Trump’s favourite, Bondi, was a lobbyist for Qatar. Truly a Banana republic. Greed used to be ‘a deadly sin’. Apparently it’s name is God now. If you believe Qatar wants nothing for the jet, you’re probably driving around looking for that $1.98 gas he told you is available now |
GloriousGbola:Absolutely |
happney65:According to his ghoulish supporters, nothing wrong to see here. It’s more important to cut necessities like medical care, fire federal workers and expose them to the risk of homelessness . |
Set the house on fire Call the fire department Take credit because you saved the house from being to ashes. Rinse and repeat

armyofone:Be careful or they’ll say you’re victimizing yourself |

All against her family’s wish. As a woman, I’m supposed to support such a cruel act because I bought into the propaganda of the conservatives caring about women? Mind you the family is going to be responsible for this bill. The fetus most like won’t survive as it has hydrocephalus (fluid in its brain). And most importantly if the fetus if it makes it to baby stage will be abandoned as soon as it’s delivered because any social program that could help them succeed in life is automatically labeled as a handout there’s it’s bad. The party of callous cruelty strikes again An Atlanta woman has been kept on life support for over three months, despite being declared brain dead, due to strict abortion laws in the state of Georgia. Adriana Smith, a 30-year-old nurse and mother, was nine weeks pregnant when she suffered severe headaches in February and visited a hospital for help. According to her mother, April Newkirk, staff gave her medication but failed to conduct crucial scans, including a CT scan, which might have detected the blood clots later found in her brain. |
GloriousGbola:Amazing to watch ![]() |
I don’t HATE this. I’m actually very intrigued ![]() Team “pro-Israel and anti all Islamists AKA every Muslim is a terrorist” are all quiet. Are you guys trying to figure out how to react? It’s okay. Take your time and sit with it.

lol. Neither for Syria nor Santanyahu but this is interesting to observe.

kentebemoney: kentebemoney:You think white South Africans have more rights to be in America because of their whiteness even though they actually have contributed nothing to the country except having white skin. versus native Americans who actually own the land and black people who literally built it on their backs? Conquered black men make me 🤢 |
Big yikes
