NO. I BELIEVE THEY SAID “HOLD MY BEER AND WATCH THIS.”  New York Passes Evil Abortion Law, Virginia Legislature Says ‘It’s Our Turn!’

Look, reasonable people can disagree on first trimester abortion, but this? This makes a baby’s humanity dependent on being wanted by his mother AT THAT MOMENT. Had a baby the wrong sex? (And even with ultra sounds, they only figured out younger son was a boy three days before birth. Not that we cared, but we’d been assuming girl till then from what they’d told us.) Oops, wrong for mommy’s mental health, therefore baby must be murdered.  Evil.  Unmitigated evil. It makes a baby’s humanity conditional on a parent’s say so, and therefore it makes all humanity conditional. How many of us were unexpected or even unwanted children? Do you want this law?

AH, YES, THE ONLY THING WORSE THAN BEING A STRAIGHT WHITE MALE IS BEING A GAY MINORITY WHO IS NOT A LIBERAL. OR REALLY BEING ANYONE THE LEFT THINK NATURALLY “BELONGS” IN THEIR PLANTATION WHO IS NOT A LIBERAL. THEY’LL GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO DESTROY YOU: Trump stiffs Feinstein and Harris on judges. . .mostly.

#JOURNALISM:

Remember, when they do their “have you no decency” bit, they never have any decency of their own. My advice to Ms. Hodge: Learn to code.

SEEN ON FACEBOOK: “Anyone else find it ‘coincidental’ that these ultra-radical pro abortion bills are popping up this month in various state legislatures while Ginsburg is also mysteriously MIA?”

OPEN THREAD: Hump Day!

OUCH:

WOW, WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING? A Belarusian woman who claimed to possess insider information about Russia’s attempts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election — and what role President Donald Trump’s campaign played in the disinformation campaign — now admits her story was a hoax.

Well, cut her some slack: “I think it saved my life, how can I regret it? If journalists had not come at that time and that story had not come to the newspapers, maybe I would [be dead by] now.” But don’t cut the credulous Western “journalists” and pundits who treated her story as gospel when it was pretty obviously exactly what it was.

CLEARLY, TRUMP MUST USE HIS EMERGENCY POWERS TO SEIZE CONTROL OF THE MEDIA AND PREVENT FURTHER LAYOFFS: The BuzzFeed Layoffs as Democratic Emergency. It’s like the Steel Seizure Case except that there’s probably some obscure statute he can invoke. For democracy!
