SCOTUS has overturned Roe.

Wow. Let the chaos ensue.

That 2016 election loss was pretty costly.

I actually thought Roe struck the right balance.

These are crazy times. Probably best to stay off social today.

Is this some kind of promo for the new DeLorean model coming out? I had no idea America was this hot and bothered for time travelling.

Between this, guns, Trump, inflation, the coming recession, that place must be reaching a boiling point.

It doesn't help that US Democrats are - as Mrs. Slocombe would say - Weak as water.

Gun right going up. Women’s right going down.

It’s wild to be alive to watch a powerful democracy eating itself. This is just the beginning.

I weep for the women in America. This is such a brutal giant leap backwards. America has no ability to look forward, or any actual want to.

They are proving over and over again that they are not leaders in any way. America is going to eat itself.

Is there a reason why the Democrats didn't immediately expand the Supreme Court when they knew the Republicans were going to get a super majority? Besides ineptitude?

Well they couldn't do it when the Republicans got the super majority (that's how they got the super majority to begin with).

They could do it now, but they don't have the votes to over-turn the filibuster. And you also just get in a position where the Republicans just do the same when they get in control and you end up with a 900 person supreme court and a countries who's laws ying yang every 4 years.

The regression gears up another level.

Between the degenerating politics, mass shootings, racial tensions and climate calamities, it really has never looked so bleak in that country.
