President Joe Biden on Friday urged Americans to elect more members of Congress in November's midterm elections who will support legislation protecting abortion access after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and eliminated the constitutional right to an abortion.

      I'd make a joke about choking a lead, but that would imply they ever had the metaphorical lead or were favored to 'win' by anyone with common sense

        Imagine Biden showing Manchin's daughter 1/10th of the animosity he showed Clarence Thomas' victim when advocating for Thomas to join the supreme court.

      I reckon they could go all the way down to slavery if they really wanted, start with making ICE camps turn illegal immigrants into slaves and do forced labor. I bet more than half the people in the country would approve.

        He’s gonna be progressive by paying prisoners minimum wage, but reducing the available jobs by forcing migrants to stay in the US and working for free for at least 6 years before being allowed to go home

    "Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans."

    Guess who tweeted this today?

    What did the motherfucker who tweeted this say he would do on day one of his presidency?

    "Now, the Freedom of Choice Act is not highest legislative priority. I believe that women should have the right to choose. But I think that the most important thing we can do to tamp down some of the anger surrounding this issue is to focus on those areas that we can agree on. And that’s — that’s where I’m going to focus."

    Whims of politicians and ideologues

      Obama has headlined multiple reproductive right galas as a paid speaker since leaving office, including one for Planned Parenthood.

      The grift is real.

    Wild that it was Biden himself maligning Anita Hill in 1991 as Senate Judiciary Committee chair, which led to Thomas's SC appointment. And that Obama said in 2008 that he'd make the Freedom of Choice Act his day 1 priority, then immediately abandoned it. And that Dems didn't do jack shit between the leak and today

      Clarence Thomas also setting up the legal justification for overruling every protection based on the 14th Amendment because Biden wanted to grandstand 30 years ago is making me jokerfied

        Part of me wants to tell them to shut the fuck up but another part of me thinks that nobody will benefit from me starting arguments about electoralism in my 4th grade math teacher's comment section tonight. Two wolves, I guess.

    They're shameless about using this talking point. The Dems probably think they have 2024 in the bag with "Putler" "Trump" and now "Roe" for all their talking points during the election.
