Mike Luckovich for May 07, 2020

Republicans PRO-LIFE? Anyone who suckers for that is gullible indeed.

Republicans are all about the death.

The GRIM REAPER? Life-long Republican, though I’m not sure “life” is the right word for him.

Republicans are PRO WAR to sacrifice YOUR children, not theirs, on the blood-stained altar of corporate greed to enrich the “defense contractors” of the military-industrial complex that the last real Republican, Eisenhower, warned us about.

Republicans are PRO DEATH PENALTY especially if your ancestry is anything but pure European.

Republicans are PRO POISONING the air and climate and water if it will enrich more corporate elitists.

and now … ta-da! PRO KILLING GRANDMA AND GRANDPA offering them up as human sacrifices to save the $tock market and Wall $treet. (Not realizing, of course, that a massive wave of death will ultimate have an economic backlash far greater than a brief, temporary reprieve from poisoning the planet.) And yes, more PRO-POISON as Trump suggests ingesting household disinfectants.

The only “life” they care about is pre-sentient*, pre-conscious, pre-autonomous life, but only as long as it remains inside the body of the woman — and THAT is their real concern. With a few principled exceptions, most of them do not care the slightest bit about babies. Once that baby is born, and begins its own biologically autonomous process of personal experience, sentience and consciousness, they will do NOTHING to make sure that baby — that THEY forced a woman to bear — has food, shelter or education, which is how we know their real concern: CONTROLLING WOMEN.

*there is no place in the United States where elective (on demand) abortion can legally be performed prior to the onset of measurable EEG brain waves. Since the cessation of EEG brain waves is the point of clinical death after which organs can be removed for transplantation, the only logical counterpart to the onset of life is the onset of those EEG brain waves.

Pro-life only when it suits them.

Back before I retired, I would occasionally forget that my life was more important than my job. But fortunately, mostly, sanity prevailed. You can have a life without a job. The opposite only applies if you’re a ghost writer.

They are just “pro-family values” and their family only values money! I wonder how much they will value money when THEY die?

It’s what they get for actually being born.

Republicans are only “pro-life” until birth. *

*I stole this from someone else, but it’s truth is profound.

A fetus to a rethugican is a sacred life that must be protected. However, the child mysteriously turns almost completely invisible until reaching the age of eighteen and can then serve in the next war killing brown people or working without making a living wage. Rethugicans are pro-profit and delight in controlling others for their own benefit. Denying medical access to women to control their own bodies and lives. Cutting health and food security programs for children. Keeping higher education unaffordable and unaccessible. Keeping the joke of the minimum wage and lack of benefits intact. It’s all about the many being sacrificed for the “deserving” few.

You keep ignoring the fact that the peckerwoods of the GOP (rich or poor) couldn’t care less if every person of color died tomorrow.

You have to wait until covid-19 starts killing THEM off.

And of course you have the ‘Christian’ Republicans. People will die, but their reward will be in heaven….and we won’t have to worry about their health costs.

Republicans are “Pro-Life” ONLY from the moment of conception to the moment of Birth. THEN, it’s “You’re on your own, kid! NO school lunches, NO affordable Health Care, NO Food Stamps/SNAP Benefits, NO NOTHING until you hit 18, but THEN we will be HAPPY to use you as cannon fodder for the NEXT ENDLESS WAR organized and run SOLELY for the Benefit and PROFITS of our Corporate and Overseas MASTERS!!”

SCREW THE ENTIRE REPUBLICAN PARTY!

On Seth Meyers’ closer look, there was a clip of trumpy touring a mask production line, and it seemed the public address system was loudly playing McCartney’s “Live and Let Die!” Real or fake, this was fitting.

I love this, State Sen Mia McCleod filed SB928, a pro-birth accountability act, a brilliant piece of legal work, Forcing the state to put its money where it’s mouth is. If you’re gonna force women to carry a baby full term, you better have the cash to back it up.

trumps warriors.. got to make America proud to have so many give up their life so trump can brag about the economy. Perhaps trump can get Mexico to build a wall in their honor.. much like the remembrance wall built to commemorate the 9/11 victims.

Are they going to send a SWAT team to drag me to Walmart? Or McDonalds? Or to a dealership to buy a new car?

They can “re-open” all they want, but if I refuse to participate, there isn’t much they can do. The problem is that most people are limited in the degree to which they can disconnect from “the economy”.

A friend of mine was 32 years on the job as a cop. Retired without a scratch. Became a funeral director. Fat city, since the Republikkklan-enabled plague, right? Booming business, no? And now he’s laid up in bed with CV-19.

Whenever a Republican politician or a reich-wing talking head says, “Americans need to get back to work,” remember what they really mean is “Our money is more important than your life.”

Just collateral damage… worth it, to keep the profits rolling in… /s

The real “Death Panel”.

He’s feeling a pang of regret now: “Why didn’t I invest in body bags when I had the chance?”

Republicans want you to be patriotic and die for the failed Trump economy.

Money for billionaires but nothing for testing. Republicans are killing the USA on purpose.

Republican “pro-life anti abortion” scam is just another way they control women.

The psycho hypocrite Republicans want to jam medical instruments into pregnant women but they claim testing is an invasion of their privacy.

How to you spell hypocrite? R-E-P-U-B-L-I-C-A-N.

The lovely and talented Lt. Gov. of Texas has declared that “some things are more important than living”, he didn’t elaborate but maybe “quarterly dividends” is what he had in mind? Of course, even without Covid-19 Texas economy was reeling from the price of oil being less than zero per barrel.

“Prolife” is short for “proliferators”.

I am not going to vote GOP as long as I live. I’m 72 and have voted all parties in my life, but the detestable divisions perpetrated by the GOP have turned me off ever supporting any GOP leader. The ones who have left office rather than face down the base are just as cowardly as those who are waiting and watching.

Politically speaking the G.O.P. up for re-election this November will need a body bag and a toe tag. It’s going to be a “Blue Christmas” without them.

No, no, no! Don’t let them brainwash you Wolf!

These whining baby boomers

Should love our poodle groomers

And rush out to our beaches

(With Lysol and with bleaches)

And flood our bowling alleys

And crowd into our rallies:

This is certainly true, because after all

Our economy never was meant to be small!

Pro Life. But only until the kid is Born.

They don’t really Care about the Abortion, but they will do and say Anything to get those Evangelical Votes.
