Thank You Supreme Court!

     Supreme Court ruling was a 5-3 in favor to overturn the Texas abortion law that was archaic.  It was decided that the Texas law was unconstitutional and against the well-being of the women of Texas.  This decision will not apply to the nine other law suits in the nine other states, but, this does give notice to those states that the Court has made a decision on the tougher of all the law suits.

     This law will take the wind out of the sales of states that have already passed these laws like Louisiana and Wisconsin.
     Pro-Choice advocates see this decision as a great victory today.  The anti-abortion will continue to fight on to end all abortions.  The dissenting votes came from Justices Roberts, Alito and Thomas.
   
     HB2 was being touted as a law for safety for women who wanted abortions.  But, in fact, it made
availability nearly impossible which has become a burden for all Texas women especially low income women.  Cecil Richards, President of Planned Parenthood and also a daughter of Texas was thrilled to hear of this decision.

SHHH! Just Be Quiet! I can do it without you.


That's what the man says. Just listen to what the man says. (credit to Sir Paul)  He can do it without the GOP establishment.  And the press. The Republican leaders keep saying, if he would just change I could back him.  Dudes, he is who he is, there is no change coming.  If he can't get it together for a few days, how will he keep it together as president. They are still saying "I hope".  OMG! GOP! WTF!  Your whole process went out of control from the get go.  Your down ballot candidates will suffer.  Hillary will go into the White House with a stronger senate and better numbers in the house.  Paul Ryan and McConnell stated yesterday that they would not comment on the presumptive nominees current off the wall comments. There are few secrets in Washington and no word of back office meetings have eeked out.  The GOP is acting like the parents of a two year old saying he will grow out of it.  In my opinion  the GOP is being too complacent  then again, this might be their way of backing Hillary for President.

What do you expect from me? I will be 70 next week.Old Dog New Tricks!

You can't teach an old dog new tricks!
Trump gave a disciplined presentation last night, the second in two weeks.  So what?  That is not
who Donald J. Trump is.  We have seen the real candidate over the past twelve months.  Do I really have to go over all the negative and idiotic statements he has made.  Paying attorneys fees for a "follower" who assaults a protester.  Saying women should be punished for having an abortion. 
He is that man, every day in every way and a teleprompter will not change that.  Someone else writing the words he reads will not change his beliefs and attitudes.  Trump will be 70 years old on June 14, too any years of hate and scamming in his makeup, it can not be shrugged off  overnight.
I still say he is just plain naive.

 And I am sticking by my belief that this started out as a lark and got out of hand.  I still want to believe he is doing all that he is, just to sabotage his position so he will get dumped.  Sad as it sounds, our government is afraid to give him a proper daily briefings because they have trust issues with the man.  

Then, last night, he offered Bernie Sanders supporters a home.  He still doesn't get it, does he?  Why would a liberal want to go with a mean spirited right of center conservative.  He doesn't get the policy difference thing.  These people went with other candidates based on message.  He doesn't really have a message, he has a big ego.
