I wish I had written that headline, because it's brilliant.

I am terrible at headlines. I told my brother Jay this morning that either this post will have zero views or it will blow up.

All of Trump's statements on this issue are just campaign rhetoric. Same applies to statements from most candidates for statewide and national political office. A national minimum standard might be justified but it should be based on science. State laws should govern in most cases but there have to be exceptions for rape, incest, mother's health and viability of the fetus.

This was always going to be the way. DJT has ever only been in it for his own glory and ego. Whatever cause he may have “helped” along the way was coincidental to his ultimate motives. So nobody should be surprised if they are ditched out of political expediency.

I’m pro choice and not religious, so I have no issues with DJT on this. And it’s hilarious as all get out to see religious conservatives get in line for their comeuppance courtesy of their saviour.

When the SCOTUS got the Roe v. Wade case in 1973, the correct way to handle it would have been to cite the 14th amendment as precedence and not even adjudicate the case. That would have cemented abortion as a national crime. Instead, having come up with some phantom right within the Constitution to justify their ruling, Harry Blackmon, et al foisted chaos upon this nation ever since. And to borrow a phrase from one of abortion rights most ardent supporters, (oh, the irony) we have reaped the whirlwind. The result, of course, has been the needless deaths of some 70 million people since 1973, not to mention the coming heavyweight judgment of God on America for not repenting of our national sin.

Or, OR, trump if elected will do whatever triggers the most donations to keep the grift alive. Hell, i can see him putting his decision up for a vote with the outcome based on the highest donated dollars. It's perfect, all he has to do is include in the small print, "no refunds will be made based on the outcomes of the vote."

It's classic trump, how and who can he scam for the most dollars? Imagine this; he can run the con game on truth social which just might save the company. Two birds with one stone.

Finally, tip of the hat to Cameron for filling in for God and condemning all those sinners to hell. It must be great to be that all knowing, all powerful. Truly an honor to have him here with the rest of us mere mortals.
