The most amazing part of this timeline isn't just the fact that the US is turning into a third-world shithole, but the speed at which it's doing it.
Republicans were taking notes when we handed Afghanistan back to the Taliban.
Well, looking at the current events in Germany, I'll bet they could catch up rather soon
What current events? The conservative party (with help accepted from the far right) today failed to push through the actual bill for stricter immigration law, after over 100000 people had demonstrated in the streets against their proposal yesterday.
They got slapped in the face so hard it could be heard across the country.
The only slap in the face they would care about is the banning of the Nazi party in Germany.
They don't care about that specific bill.
They just need to get into power again, once.
I think the last time states tried arresting people outside their borders for actions committed outside their borders was the Fugitive Slave Act.
Didn’t go so well back then.
But the Dr didn't send the pills. He wrote a prescription...
Under the legislation, if someone knowingly possesses mifepristone or misoprostol without a valid prescription for any purpose, they could be fined up to $5,000 and sent to jail for one to five years. The law carves out protections for pregnant women who obtain the drug without a prescription to take on their own.
Well what's the fucking point of the law then?
To punish the women without actually saying they're going to punish the women.
They basically want a situation where they can say "you are perfectly free to obtain this on your own" while making sure no doctor in their right mind would actually give it to you.
That's the goal with transgender healthcare too. The Republicans have two purposes: (1) get richer by swindling people, and (2) make people they irrationally hate suffer. The notions of making anything better or serving the people don't even register on their radar.
