To anyone promoting the fictional claim of "both parties are the same," you are hereby put on notice because the party of criminal stupidity is at it again.
You can measure the depth of their supposed beliefs by their reactions when they get what they said they wanted but now have inexplicably changed their collective mind and reject the ban they bragged about.
Nothing but chaos and noise from these republican mopes.
Couldn’t agree more. And by the way does anyone believe that if any of these GOP leaders’ daughters or granddaughters were the victims of rape causing a pregnancy——that they wouldn’t find a way to obtain an abortion?
As I noted, except for Coney-Barrett with more and Thomas with less, the Supreme Court Justices tend to have 2 children. So, I'll assume that they practiced birth control, another thing that they seem about to put on the chopping block, along with IVF.
On the abortion issue, you are correct, Adam. But overall, the contrast is much less stark. Take climate change, for example. As a candidate, Joe Biden said he would "Never, Never, Never" permit new oil exploration on public lands, and yet as President, he put under lease more area than did his predecessor. That is just one example of Democrat duplicity on climate change. There are other issues as well, as you probably know.
I have to hand it to the Democrats and Republicans, though: Both know how to stir up public sentiment on issues that distract the electorate from the shenanigans of their corporate supporters.
You are conflating issues and making statements without providing references. Then, you gaslight, declaring concerns unreasonable and insinuating malicious intent to “stir up sentiment.” @Stephen Schiff, I gotta hand it to you: Your trolling is EVERYTHING you accuse in others. No insight; just hype.
Criminally stupid and liars all of them. I hope Arizonans are aware of who really stands for what, and show them what they think of them in the ballot box.
A reasonable question but in Arizona it's the Governor who appoints Supreme Court justices. These two were appointed; the November ballot is for "retention" (what anyone else would call reelected). If voters reject them both, Governor Katie Hobbs will appoint their successors (per Ballotopedia).
"The terms of two Arizona Supreme Court justices will expire on January 6, 2025. The two seats are up for retention election on November 5, 2024. The filing deadline is September 6, 2024.
Judges with expiring terms
This is a list of the justices who must stand for retention election in 2024 in order to remain on the bench. Justices may choose not to stand for election. The list is subject to change if justices retire or are appointed.
All of those who self-righteously proclaim that they are for the sanctity of life and the "unborn" do not realize that they have no true comprehension of what spiritual means. Spiritual is of the mind and heart, not about our slabs of flesh. The whole Trumpian attitude toward women and girls reduces them to their material assets, not any inner brilliance and creativity, much less nurturance and kindness. The reactions of Trump, Kari Lake, and other AZ Republicans to the public's profound rejection of antiquated abortion laws resembles rats scurrying to change course for survival. Judd, Rebecca and team please continue to point out and spotlight the deceitful changes of mind by these people who may be voted out of office if women continue to stand up for their lives and rights.
My mama always told me that there’s nothing more dangerous than encountering someone with nothing to lose. Kari Lake has nothing to lose and everything to gain! She’s more dangerous than most because she will stop at nothing to gain power.
All these Republican walk backs and pronouncements are totally meaningless and pure theater. Republicans could fix this today if they a)could read the room and b) wanted to. But when offered the chance to repeal this ancient law they chose to table or remove the repeal from the agenda. Why? Because they firmly believe that their MAGA evangelical base will save them from the wrath of the voters in November. They are wrong. Keri Lake is toast. Trump is done in Arizona. Two justices will not be retained. And a whole lot of legislators will be replaced.
Trump, Lake and the R’s will learn about the electoral power of women in November! Alito alluded to this in Dobbs. Women aren’t stupid, despite what R’s think; enough about ‘cruelty is the point!’ Ladies: VOTE in November like your life depends on it- IT DOES!
More and more obvious, CONservatives say one thing - do another. More freedom? hardly. Free markets? not even close. Small government? not when it comes to protecting the rich.
The fact that while that was happening there were Moms Demand members being pulled out of the TN legislature by state troopers bc they just want some gun safety laws for kids but instead the TN leg voted to arm teachers and school admins and provide gun training to preschoolers just says everything about our country right now. We live in a scary place. Every week I have to cross off another state where my kids can’t go to college. This November will be the most important vote of our lives
Thanks for this, Judd. I think there needs to be more discussion about the real reason these extremists are pushing abortion bans— controlling women and keeping them out of the workforce so the good ole boy network can go back to making all the decisions. Why is it that Republicans typically don’t add an exemption for saving the mother's life? What legislation have they passes to help women and babies? Why aren’t they putting more funding into prosecuting rapes or giving children free lunches? Let’s tie their policies to their real focus.
There is no way to even remotely trust such disingenuous people who lie so openly and without shame. Really hoping the voters see it a bit more clearly this time around. They cannot be trusted, so if they seem to agree with you today, it's meaningless. smdh
Also - please tell your "protest" voting friends: enjoy your protest vote this year, because if Biden does not win, there will be no more "protest" votes available. The CONservatives are working hard in every state they control to make it more difficult for people that oppose them to vote. Easier to cheat and harder to vote.
I have some idiotic folks in my circle talking this protest vote shit. My own brother rolled his eyes when I said this vote is a binary choice between democracy and fascism.
Boy took great pleasure in saying "fascism started as socialism." I guess he meant the National Socialist Worker's Party. Sigh.
Told him anybody can call anything whatever they want. Ever heard of the Democratic Republic of North Korea? Ya think it's a democracy?
As usual, nothing else of note to say. Just doubling down on RW talking points the border and the GD laptop. In other words the same tired BS.
Your brother was obviously born the more intelligent sibling. I am sure there is a lot of eye-rolling in your family when you spout your views. The question is.... do you where your black mask at holiday meals?
You ignore the history and facts of ideological risk and support the most murderous type as being superior. Maybe you can clear this up by pointing us to that country or system, past or present, that represents your dream of the best system. Because obviously you are a malcontent that hates the American system.
Wash out your ANTIFA potty mouth or change your name to an appropriate biblical actor. Maybe Lucifer? Really Adam, your posts just confirm that you are and angry POS that has self-control issues. Hook me up with that brother of yours... I am sure he will confirm it.
My brother wouldn't be interested in your or the possum you hide under your dress. He'd hand you your head just as I would.
Frankly Frank, your predictable antics begin to bore. But your hypocrisy in calling out my profanity while in the act of cursing me was magnificent. You truly are a product of your tubes. Er, times.
So now Francine is gay? What have I missed? I thought the RW despised LGBTQ.....Francine must know something I don't. Oh no wait. The closet. You wouldn't think she'd be so public here. Huh. She's out now!
Wow, Frank, how much history do you actually know? We have the ability to be dissatisfied with our system and seek to improve it. IT IS NOT PERFECT, it is has the ability to be the best because we can criticize it. Only a cult member would think otherwise. I believe it was Churchill that said something like our democratic system was the worst system, but still better than all others.
I just started The Anatomy of Fascism - you might just give it a read because you have some serious gaps in your knowledge and understanding of history. You also might check out the substacks of the historians in this community.
Frank Lee aka Florida Lady is truly one of the most inept trolls I've ever run across. My first day in this forum old Frank there was cursing at Judd and said words to the effect that Judd Leggum was a "fucking liar."
After having been taken to task, that assinine ass claimed to have a son named Adam who was a much "better man than myself."
Ask him to tell you about the companies that he's run or the hundred people that he employs that love him and invite him to Xmas and cookouts and weddings and all.
He'll drone on about how he is a good christian. I'd like to stuff him a sack, stuff that sack in the trunk of the ride and let him out somewhere. See if his homing device actually works.
Abortion bans hurt women who want to have children, whether it's via death from pregnancy complications, damage to reproductive organs after a miscarriage, or lack of access to IVF.
There are lots of ways to *reduce* the number of abortions, starting with factual sex education and free contraception. There are plenty of ways to support women who *want* to have children, including paid family leave, affordable and available health care, including better maternal care, affordable housing, the Child Tax Credit, and fair wages - and protecting children from *real* sexual predators instead of imaginary ones.
As far as I can tell, no Republican legislator is in favor of *any* of these things.
Want to hold Arizona Republicans accountable? Check this interactive map for the Arizona 2024 Congressional elections, which toss-up races could help Dems and details on the 'retention' election for Clint Bolick and Kathryn King. There are also links on how can you register to vote in Arizona? Make sure you have a valid AZ voter ID? Like President Obama said "Don't Boo. Vote!"
There's a group in AZ called CEBV, Civic Engagement Beyond Voting, that works to inform people about state races. You can bet that Clint Bolick and Kathryn King will be highlighted for retention elections in November. Clint Bolick worked for the Goldwater Institute before Ducey appointed him. He holds every possible far right wing ideology.
I just can't with these people. They'll say and do anything to get elected, even if it means twisting themselves into knots to do so. No sane person would support any of them.

Lie, cheat, steal, lie some more, act innocent, go to church, loudly proclaim piety, rinse and repeat. It's become the republican way.
Of course "they" will have "abortion on demand up to 9 months and beyond!"
As I noted, except for Coney-Barrett with more and Thomas with less, the Supreme Court Justices tend to have 2 children. So, I'll assume that they practiced birth control, another thing that they seem about to put on the chopping block, along with IVF.
Oh yes! Ya see, "they're" OLD.
"They" don't need it so YOU don't get it!
Simple math.
/s
And, they don't care about their children's futures because they cannot imagine their daughters having a difficult pregnancy that threatens her life.

Is that so?
You know, I am not about to waste ANY time parrying with a disingenuous character such as yourself.
Good day.
You are conflating issues and making statements without providing references. Then, you gaslight, declaring concerns unreasonable and insinuating malicious intent to “stir up sentiment.” @Stephen Schiff, I gotta hand it to you: Your trolling is EVERYTHING you accuse in others. No insight; just hype.
Spot on Dawna.
That's why I wouldn't give this Frank Lee sock-puppet the time of day!
Thanks for the laugh, Adam. I'm so far behind in my letters....feel sorry for me, will ya 🤣
Have I ever informed you as to how much I truly detest that GD Frank Lee?
You remember the Kellogs Apple Jacks jingle? "FOF, FffOF" ad infinitum. Lol.
You n me both! Why is Francine supporting Judd when her lord and savior is so GD broke? Her kitties must be starving....lol
I do. Hell, I miss whole DAYS of PI sometimes, I get so busy.
We're talking weeks! I may read a letter every 2 weeks, but yeah. Not enough time in the day.
Criminally stupid and liars all of them. I hope Arizonans are aware of who really stands for what, and show them what they think of them in the ballot box.
You have to BEAT them down and KEEP them down.
Otherwise the republicans are the monster in a movie that keeps coming back for more.
Well said, Adam! They’re all cut from the same tattered cloth.
OK? And wiping the same shite filled arse!!!
😂😂😂
Imagine enough of us Arizonans vote to remove those two judges?
Holy shit the shock waves we would send.
We The People will have our voices heard.
Say their names, Clint Bolick and Kathryn King, so that people in AZ remember and use their vote against retaining them!
R'Amen!
Absolutely. Both are on the November 2024 statewide ballot.
Truth is its not just Arizona that needs to be protesting in streets. It's all of us...like in Israel.
A reasonable question but in Arizona it's the Governor who appoints Supreme Court justices. These two were appointed; the November ballot is for "retention" (what anyone else would call reelected). If voters reject them both, Governor Katie Hobbs will appoint their successors (per Ballotopedia).

I got a thing about rats. Can't stand the sight of them. Saw a recent photo of Kari Lake. Jeez what a ghoul.
My mama always told me that there’s nothing more dangerous than encountering someone with nothing to lose. Kari Lake has nothing to lose and everything to gain! She’s more dangerous than most because she will stop at nothing to gain power.
Damn straight. She is completely lost in her lust for power. Look at her eyes. Depraved indifference.

Yup, and undo the child labor laws in the process to send children to work and force women to stay home and make more of them.
There is no way to even remotely trust such disingenuous people who lie so openly and without shame. Really hoping the voters see it a bit more clearly this time around. They cannot be trusted, so if they seem to agree with you today, it's meaningless. smdh
Remember when Republicans were accused of wanting to turn back the clock to 1964?
...guess they meant 1864. No surprise there.

Wash out your ANTIFA potty mouth or change your name to an appropriate biblical actor. Maybe Lucifer? Really Adam, your posts just confirm that you are and angry POS that has self-control issues. Hook me up with that brother of yours... I am sure he will confirm it.
