Republican Idiots

This started as a political blog about Republican idiots but now it's just an anti-bullshit blog regardless of the party. Plus there's some good people doing good things. And science. And art. And history. And swearing.

That one where Nancy Reagan was feeding him lines while he was president

Alzheimers is a terrible disease. Reagan had it while he was still president. The media and Republicans all looked the other way -- even while the evidence was right in front of them.

[republicanidiots]

Republicans have kept plainly incapacitated people in office if it serves their purposes. They let the leader of the country whither with Alzheimers rather than unseat him. By the time he left office, he couldn't identify an American flag in a snow globe he was holding in his hand.

The question isn't whether McConnell demonstrates proof of life. The question is whether McConnell is competent to carry out the duties of his office.

If the parties were switched, a Republican governor of Kentucky would have gone to the hospital with a SWAT team and a camera crew.

The founders of Jane, an underground network in Chicago, US that assisted people in getting abortions. From the left moving right: Martha Scott, Jeanne Galatzer-Levy, Abby Parisers, Sheila Smith and Madeline Schwenk.

Martha Scott was 19 in 1965, when her friend's sister became pregnant and Scott helped her find a doctor to perform an abortion. The group connected individuals seeking abortions with doctors, and later, performed abortions themselves. Their clients were informed they were not doctors, but doing abortions themselves allowed them to keep costs low. They made people aware of the services through signs with slogans like "'Pregnant? Don't Want to Be? Call Jane." The group operated for seven years and performed an estimated 11,000 abortions; no deaths were ever reported.

Quote from Scott: "You're messing around inside somebody else's body. It's not necessarily given that you won't do harm. It wasn't perfect, by any means. But we were dealing with women who really didn't have other options."

Quote from Galatzer-Levy: "I hadn't had so much as a speeding ticket [when I joined]. But abortion really was the front line, it was where women were dying."

In 1972, two women reported Jane because their sister was seeking an abortion, and the women believed it was murder. All seven founders were arrested. Six months later, Roe v. Wade was decided and the charges were dropped. Read more here (link).

Countries where General Motors had annual sales of at least 300,000 cars

GM used to be one of the largest automakers in the world. Today, it's footprint is a shell of its former self. It no longer sells cars in Europe, India, Australia, Southeast Asia, and much of Africa.
