We also watched the spectacular Eclipse in Geauga County, specifically from our yard in Bainbridge. Based on your description and the eclipse photo “from Bainbridge Ohio” in another post, I think we were about a mile apart. What a small world – in more than one way!
Well, they burst that bubble last night. As Hammy said, the bullpen is doing great work, but 4 innings on average is bound to lead to bad things happening if it becomes a regularity.
It's so sad that families have to share their heartache over miscarriage, learning that their fetuses have abnormalities inconsistent with life, and even their financial reasons for obtaining an abortion just to convince some intransigent people that abortion is not some evil monster's quest for blood. What should be the private grief of a family and close friends ends up being broadcasted, shared, and re-shaped. The right to privacy was part of Roe and now these people have to give up privacy in order to convince the world that a private decision belongs to the woman and people involved, not to a legislature in a state or the US Congress.
I find the writers and the commentariat here at the Bulwark some of the most clear-eyed and thoughtful, but I would really really like to see a mea culpa from the anti-choicers. So many here are former Republicans and voted for politicians to get scotus to overturn Roe. Can anyone, anyone of you "pro-life" voters actually admit that, weak though it's reasoning may have been, that the basic premise of Roe (namely there is a sphere of private decisions upon which the government should not intrude) was basically correct? The Az SCOTUS just brought back an anti-abortion law from before Az was a state that will result in the same type of suffering that we are seeing in red states all over - girls forced to bear their rapist's children, women told to bleed out in hospital parking lots until sick enough to treat, women forced to carry babies that will not survive, women whose septicemia may mean they can never be pregnant again. Dobbs has been an unmitigated disaster for women and girls in this country, as the feminists always knew it would be. All you anti-abortion voters, are you proud of the misery and pain and heartache you've unleashed??
NYT: "BREAKING NEWS Arizona’s highest court upheld an 1864 law that bans nearly all abortions, but put the decision on hold for further challenges. Tuesday, April 9, 2024 1:44 PM ET"
Trump's statement -- let the states decide -- is exactly what Dobbs said. He should be portrayed as not only the creator of the Dobbs court, but now having adopted Dobbs as his official position.
Human Crime Spree! Love it! And Bill, in his Faux column this morning Hewie Hewitt is calling for you, Max Boot and Jim Geraghty to "come back" to the Republican Party. Says it "needs" you guys. Please, please, please, ignore that fool!
Regarding the Dobbs decision, the AZ Supreme Court just did Joe Biden a big favor. Voters will now go to the polls in November to overturn a total ban on abortion. Abortion on the ballot has worked everywhere else.
Did y'all see that video of all the folks praying and speaking in tongues in the Arizona Senate in hopes the Supreme Court would allow this ban to go into effect? It probably helped.
I don't know if it makes me sad or angry that a member of the house of representatives would be so ignorant as to think eclipses are somehow random. They are perfectly predictable and have been for quite some time. That part makes me angry, that there are so many people that agree with her makes me sad. This country used to pride itself on scientific knowledge and understanding and now we have slid backward into superstition. Not talking about religion but scientific ignorance. And that makes me sad
All I can think of is maybe the Congress Member might be misconstruing any message from God. Maybe the message is that she is the one who is doing wrong. I guess she didn't think of that.
I can’t tell if you’re kidding me now. To be clear I’m making myself look like a complete fool to make fun of Fox in both my posts. I watched Colbert and thought I’d participate. Cheers
Yikes, lots and lots of chuckles from today's renderings and the commentary on Morning Shots left me rolling on the floor. Kudos. But the line of the day came from A.B. Stoddard:"At long last the Human Crime Spree was given a court date." I had to think about that for a nano-second. Double kudos.
In other GOP eclipse news, party leader Marjory Taylor Green wrote on Twitter: "God is sending America strong signs to tell us to repent. Earthquakes and eclipses and many more things to come. I pray that our country listens."
If she really, really believed that she'd figure out that the earthquake's epicenter was the Orange Snake's golf course in NJ. Which leads me to the conclusion that she's not that stupid. Everything she does or says is to get attention, and like her master the Orange Snake, she figures whatever press she gets is good for her. As for the real crazies, some MAGA in FL was arrested because she was shooting people because the eclipse/God said to. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/solar-eclipse-shooting-spree-taylon-celestine-shoots-drivers-claims-god-told-her-to/

I thought I knew all the Bulwark readers in my parents' / your neighborhood. Turns out I was wrong!
Jim. What a great weekend for Cleveland!! Final four, eclipse, Guardians win home opener!! I’m trying not to get too excited by the Guards 8-2 start.

Unfortunately.
Woo-hoo! Go libraries and librarians!

With his waffling on abortion, Trump's in Moloch territory now. According to Leviticus, they should stone him with stones.

Now along with the Human Crime Spree(I love it!) when will we put Scott Perry and Gym Jordan in the clink along with their master?

I'll guarantee you this one didn't think of that, mainly because from all evidence this one doesn't think

Human Crime Spree is perhaps the niftiest description of Trump I have seen lately. A big shout out to AB Stoddard for that one.

Straight out of the Middle Ages.
That's where the nutjobs want to take us back to...you know, the "good old days".
Well, the initial target is pre-Civil War America. 1850s.
But my sacred dance in fact sent the "sun eater" away... this time. However I can do a "carve out" for individuals if I so choose... just saying MTG.
