Greta’s mother is an opera singer and her father is an actor so it is likely that the family has traveled quite a bit. Greta has Asperger syndrome, obsessive–compulsive disorder, and selective mutism which would lead me to believe she has been home-schooled. Wiki didn’t say.
Watched the votes this morning. Before the first vote tally was given, Gohmert asked how his vote was recorded. During the vote he said NO, then the person tabulating the votes says “Gohmert says NO” but he can’t follow that and needed to confirm his vote was recorded as NO. I was surprised he didn’t repeat that silliness for the second vote.
Trump just spouted a LONG string of lies and the news anchors (CBS) didn’t do anything to counter them. Trump said he was “opening up” China without saying what that is supposed to mean. He said that Nancy Pelosi said that the House was working on impeachment for 2 1/2 years when what she said was that there were investigations for 22 months while she as referring to the Mueller Report. He bragged about his “record-breaking” great poll numbers when there are more people for impeachment now than previously.
CBS said what a big deal Trump making a deal with China is, said the poll numbers came from his campaign without really questioning them and didn’t correct the lie about Pelosi. Yet you constantly hear squealing about “the liberal media”.
The only reason that anyone perceives the pro-choice interests as unreasonable is that the anti-choice / anti-woman folks tell lies about it.
The majority of abortions (91%) happen within the first thirteen weeks, 27.9% were nonsurgical (medical) abortions at 8 weeks or earlier. Only 1.2% were done at 21 weeks or later. Abortions after viability (approx 24 weeks) are done to protect women’s life / health or due to fetal abnormality; many tests for the later cannot be done before 20 weeks. Numbers are from the CDC.
The anti-choice groups keep coming up with ridiculous restrictions that are NOT based on medical science. There isn’t a “heartbeat” at 6 weeks, you cannot move an ectopic pregnancy and there isn’t a greater risk for women that have had abortions to have breast cancer. Many women that have abortions already have children. Since they have to tell these lies in an attempt to make their point, you can see there aren’t real facts for them to stand on.
If abortion is made illegal, women that have miscarriages would end up being investigated to see if it was really an abortion.
When someone presents facts with links to back them up and the only response you have is to falsely claim they are being paid by the RWNJ’s favorite bogey man Soros, you might just be a troll.
Don’t forget the part of putting the company deep in debt by taking out massive loans. That’s what happened to Tots R Us; since they were so far in debt they couldn’t make enough investments in technology, store maintenance and other development that was needed.
According to a popular conspiracy theory, if JFK had been re-elected, he was going to start pulling troops out of Vietnam and the MIC didn’t want him to do that, which led to his assassination. Considering JFK started the Peace Corp, imagine how much better the U.S. and the world could be if U.S. money and people were dedicated to the Peace Corp rather than war profiteers.
My favorite from Weekly World News was when the Clintons met space aliens. The alien costumes were so bad you could see panty lines from the front.
