The Killing of Roe v Wade

Today's Supreme Court bombshell killing Roe v Wade was the culmination point of the goddam Trump Presidency. At least, for most of his goddam supporters. The minority of 'em – what was once the goddam fringe but is not the mainstream – the misogynistic, homophobic racists who had been hiding in the dark waiting for Trump all their goddam lives – don't give a fuck about Roe. But the majority of his supporters, those classic Republicans who typically only care about themselves (and therefore, gas prices and the stock market), but for some reason are obsessed with millions of fetuses (including whose which have yet to be produced), who cringed when marking their goddam ballots for the treasonous Trump … they got what they wanted today; they won. For now, anyhow. I remember that feeling. I remember well the last week of June in 2015, fondly – the relief, the joy … two decisions – one in favor of keeping Obamacare on the books despite those who wanted it gone just because they hated Obama. Thousands – fuck, millions – of Americans (certainly many here in Missouri) could have been helped by Obamacare. Didn't matter. They wanted that goddam law GONE. And that wanted HIM gone. Both for the same goddam reason – 'cause they hated "that fucking nigger." (I heard it many times.) Then came the gay marriage decision when John Roberts actually had some balls. They wanted that gone, too. Those that hated it weren't affect by it; they just didn't want gays to have the same civil rights as them 'cause they hate "those fucking queers." (Heard that one a bunch, too.) Now the shoe is on the other foot and I'm the one not feeling so great. Except this is different. The decision on gay marriage in 2015 didn't affect others, except those goddam busy bodies who clint to some antiquated notion of love as defined, they claim, in the book that, in truth, doesn't even MENTION gay marriage. These goddam boneheads need to mind their own goddam business. Right. So, unlike that decision seven years ago, this goddam decision today could affect anyone and everyone. As the saying goes, it's a goddam slippery slope. And now the goddam coast is clear; nothing is off the table, now that the Judicial Branch has entered the political arena. How about a "Republican tax" for stupidity? Bring it on! How about an executive order from Biden abolishing the 2nd Amendment? Goddam right. Ha! I can hear those bastards now – "don't take away our guns!" Oh, those goddam guns! (And by the way, the 2nd Amendment, as conceived by Madison, was to ensure funding in the new nation's first budget for a government-sanctioned militia for each state. NOT for every Tom, Dick and red-necked Harry to roam the country wielding weaponry.) So now the Court's resident moron, Clarence Thomas, thinks we should look into the validity of a bunch of other goddam laws that spell freedom for people, though no goddam mention, of course, of invalidating interracial marriage. Huge fucking surprise. Yep – a year and a half after we got rid of Trump, we witness the zenith of his presidency. This is what they put him in to do, because he said he'd do it and he did it – he put in those three nutball judges. He had some help, from McConnell and others who, in truth, don't give a good goddam shit about any goddam fetuses; just about controlling women. Hence, the idea that any declared exceptions for rape, etc., is a joke. Then there are the justices themselves, four of whom now qualify for impeachment under Article II of the Constitution. As for you who voted for Trump just for this day, well you'd better goddam hold on when they come for you and/or one of yours. If you can live with that, and live with your goddam self after the past six years, then more goddam power to you. And oh yeah … FUCK YOU.
