Today’s Big Stuff 6.24.22

It’s Friday. There are 137 days until the midterm elections. Some dirty people asked for pardons, the gun deal passes and y’all know what we’re talking about today.

Be advised: Yeah, we’re fucking cussing. Loudly.

Note: Well they did it. They really fucking did it. Those sick fuck fanatics on our stolen, corrupt and broken Supreme Court took bodily autonomy from the women of this country and gave it to the goddamn government. And we honestly don’t know what to say. Because this is the unthinkable. This is the horrible shit that we always warned could happen, and it is happening.

The forces of good and freedom have taken some hits over the last few years, but this is a serious punch to the throat and it fucking hurts. Please don’t hesitate to take some time away from the news if it gets overwhelming. Because this is some fucking bullshit and there’s no right way to feel about having your fucking rights taken away by some sleazy fucking assholes in robes. It’s so unfair and so unjust and so evil that it just takes your breath away. Like having the wind knocked out of you.

So get your breath. We’ll get ours. And when you’re ready, we’ll be here. Pissed off like a bag of fucking badgers and ready to rock n fucking roll. Now we won’t sugarcoat it — this won’t be a quick or easy win. Republicans spent decades working to get to this horrible moment. We have to be prepared to do the same.

One last thing, we love y’all, and we hope you can feel the hugs. It’s ok to be afraid. It’s ok to be sad. It’s ok to be so fucking mad you can’t fucking see straight. Be good to yourself, and then let’s start fighting to take back what’s yours.

One last thing for real — fuck Sam Alito, fuck Neil Gorsuch, fuck Clarence Thomas, fuck John Roberts, fuck Amy Coney Barrett, fuck Brett Kavanaugh and fuck Clarence Thomas. We hope they all eat each other’s shit and go fuck themselves all the way to hell.

Note two: So we wish that the Roe decision in and of itself was the worst news today. And it is. But Clarence fucking Thomas wrote a solo concurrence that said the Court should revisit the three precedents that legalized birth control, gay relationships and gay marriage. They are fucking coming for everything.

Note three: FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!

Note four: Oh yeah? Well we wonder the fuck why…

Note five: Don’t read Mitch McConnell’s statement unless you’re prepared to break something.

Note six: Hillary warned us. She fucking warned us.

Note seven: In other news, your rights and privacy aren’t all these psycho shitheads are coming for.

Note eight: Oh look, the “pro-life” fuckers are doing more “pro-life” shit. More: HuffPost

Note nine: Trump called the Jan. 6 terrorists “smart.” Yeah, that’s sure what we thought when we say the chap with goat horns. More: Washington Post

Note 10: Some Arizona trash were included in those grand jury subpoenas over Trump’s fake electors. More: AZ Central

Note 11: It is so fucking hard to care about any news that happened before this morning, but we’re trying.

Note 12: Trump’s attorney coordinated with Ron Johnson? Gosh, no wonder Ron’s story keeps changing. More: Madison.com

Note 13: Brian Kemp is testifying for Fulton County prosecutors next month. More: AJC

Note 14: This dude in Wisconsin has been running amok. Is he finally about to come crashing back to earth? More: AP News

Note 15: Lauren Boebert’s restaurant is gonna close probably. So you’ll have to find a new place to shoot yourself and shit yourself. More: The Daily Beast

Note 16: Mike Pence immediately called for a national abortion ban today. So everyone who called that piece of shit a hero earlier this week can please kiss our asses. More: NY Times

Note 17: Ok, Sexy Patriots, we’re gonna get to the news section. We just want y’all to know that we know you’re hurting right now. Please hang in there. This is a cruel injustice with no relief in sight. But surrender is not an option. Maybe the most important thing to remember right now is that you are not alone. There are MILLIONS of good decent Americans out there just like you. They’re feeling the same kick to the junk that you are right now. They’re feeling the fear, the anger, the pure fucking betrayal of this nation’s promise. We are down, but we are not out and we sure as hell are not alone. Keep your heads up, Sexy Patriots.

Pardon us

Yesterday’s Jan. 6 hearing was lit. We heard Sidney Powell say Trump wanted to make her special counsel to investigate the election, we heard confirmation that Trump wanted DHS to confiscate voting machines and we heard from the people at DOJ who stopped Trump’s coup from succeeding. But the best part was hearing about all the fucking assholes in Congress who wanted pardons.

Yay?

So we are not going to rain on this parade. Last night the Senate passed the gun deal that Chris Murphy led on. We want to celebrate, but it’s hard knowing what this psycho Supreme Court is capable of. What we will say is this, Shannon Watts has worked on this harder than just about anyone else. And if she’s celebrating, then so are we.

Roe

We don’t know what else to say. We’re heartbroken. And we are seriously fucking pissed off. Hugs to every one of you. More: CNN
