Another dead cat to distract from much problematic problems - like how the NYT never reformed after the WMD fiasco of the Iraq war, or how they overcorrect towards conservatives.
And many here take the bait, spending time wondering about useless details like the finger snapping (haven't you heard the IETF votes by humming?).
Meanwhile, supreme courts begin adjudicating against reproductive rights, first against abortion, now against IVF, and the CPAC denies welcoming Nazis, trumpists openly speak about ending democracy and imposing a theocracy... But hey, this guy was screamed on for his tastes on sandwiches, and they all snapped fingers at him, so they're as bad, aren't they?
- AlexandrB 3y ago> Meanwhile, supreme courts begin adjudicating against reproductive rights, first against abortion, now against IVF I think people need to demand better from their representatives, elected and otherwise. These moves are not a surprise. Republican institutions have been openly working for decades towards this goal - for example the 2006 documentary Jesus Camp has kids praying for "righteous judges" at their creepy summer camp. Instead of taking this threat seriously the Democrats had supreme court justices grandstanding so their replacement could be nominated by the first woman president[1]. Risking the welfare of those whose rights you claim to defend for what amounts to a PR stunt is pretty despicable and yet RBG continues to be revered by many.
