“If you want to go back & redo one of these rules, you’re going to have a very spirited court battle if you ignore the #endangerment finding,” said Ebell, the chairman of the #conservative American Lands Council. “So I think they really need to do this.”

Yes, and we have been most pissed off for the label of “#conservative” (or “neo-conservative”) applied to the loony revolutionaries since the days of George Bush II. None of these idiots had every anything to do with conservatism. The Big Orange One of course very much included.

#HouseGOP leaders pulled their #BudgetResolution from the floor at the last minute Tuesday evening after they were unable to win over a handful of #Conservative #FiscalHawks who threatened to tank the framework for President #Trump’s ambitious legislative agenda.

This happens under #Labour, and nobody says a word. If it had happened under a #Conservative government, the press and TV news would be screaming, "Tories attack the NHS!" remember, children, it's not about what you like but who you like.

A divided #SCOTUS on Monday turned away a pair of #FreeSpeech challenges by #abortion opponents to city laws in #NewJersey & #Illinois that restrict #protests directly outside #clinics & #hospitals where abortions are performed.

The court declined to reconsider a 25-yr-old precedent that has allowed local govts to create protest-free buffer zones around #healthcare facilities—a ruling that has long been criticized by some #conservative justices.

Germany's future: What's next after vote for change?

From DW: "The conservative CDU/CSU won, and the chancellor's Social Democrats were voted out in a disastrous result for the party. One in five Germans voted for the far right. What does this mean for Germany?"

Patriarchy is like a man, having his boot on a woman's neck.
Feminism is a woman complaining about the boot.
Conservatives insist there wasn't a problem with the boot being on the neck until the woman started talking about it. If she would just be quiet about the boot, there wouldn't be a problem.

TW: Sexual abuse

If 4Chan has taught me anything, it's that when right-wingers talk about "grooming", they're not actually afraid of kids being groomed for sexual abuse. They're afraid of kids being "groomed" to be accepting of different sexualities and gender identities. They're afraid of Gen Alpha growing up to be progressives who accept themselves and others for who they are. That is a conservative's worst nightmare.

#Greed! If you vote #conservative #Republican #RightWing, you are supporting and encouraging greedy people to rob you and your children of our society wealth. Natural resources belong to all of us, and our labour is what creates most of the wealth. Stop voting right wing! #Canada #USA #Europe #World

So, #Canada, here's my concern:

In previous elections for the federal #LiberalParty leadership, there had been less than 50,000 registered members who held voting privileges. In the current race, there are more than 300,000 registered members, w/ more then ½ of them registering after #JustinTrudeau stepped down. I'm worried most of the new members are #Conservative saboteurs, intent on voting for anyone other than #MarkCarney, since he has the best chance of defeating #PierrePoilievre

@KimPerales It's a sad day in America when @Google, a #USCorporation, #Obnubilates #Obfuscates #Omits and protects #White #Conservative #Politicians like @realDonaldTrump, #Krasnov #krasnovTRUMP and we have to turn to sources outside our own nation for transparency and answers.

It is worth remembering that the #Conservative Party in the #UK had or perhaps still has very close ties to #Russia. This was organised via the Russian Embassy "Conservative Friends of Russia" organisation which receruited many senior Tory politicians. The organiser of such events had his diplomatic visa removed. However, money continued to flow to the Tory party and its MPs from wealthy Russians. Vote Leave also had excellent connections with the same Russians.

On podcasts, DC US attorney discussed investigating #Trump foes

*#Conservative* legal activist #EdMartin had conversations last year about potential targets for prosecution. Now he & #DOJ have power to bring cases.

In the 2 yrs before he became DC's top federal prosecutor, US Attorney Ed Martin publicly discussed investigating high-profile #Justice Dept officials who played a role in bringing charges against Trump & his allies.

A federal judge on Friday deferred ruling on the #DOJ’s request to drop the #corruption case against Mayor #EricAdams of #NYC, & appointed an outside lawyer to present #independent arguments on the motion, which was otherwise unopposed.

The lawyer the judge appointed, #PaulClement, is a political #conservative who was the US solicitor general during President George W. Bush’s admin.

WIST Quotations

A quotation from Orwell

Most revolutionaries are potential tories, because they imagine that everything can be put right by altering the shape of society; once that change is effected, as it sometimes is, they see no need for any other.

George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1939), “Charles Dickens,” sec. 6, Inside the Whale (1940-03-11)
