Their problem is that they've been making abortion a wedge issue for so long, that it's now impossible for them to back down. They've been catering to the religious right, pushing a message that life begins at conception and any form of abortion (and some birth control) is literally the same as murdering babies. And their base ate that shit up.

Now they're trying to backtrack, which leads to their hilarious message of basically "look, we're going to have to kill a few babies to get into power, because power is more important." Good luck trying to sell that.

Lmao, Trump got fined $10,000 on the spot for violating his gag order about shit talking the court staff. A small slap on the wrist, but I love the immediate consequence.

Members of the class will receive as much as 75 percent of the fees returned to them, though the payout may be lower depending on how many people claim refunds from the suit.

A fine that allows a company to profit off shitty business practices is not a deterrent, it's just the cost of doing business. If people were receiving twice what they were charged in fees, then there might be actual change.

Frontier used to be such an awesome airline before they pivoted and raced to the bottom.

Using a bail bondsman is the exact opposite of spending the bare minimum. It's basically the equivalent of taking out a payday loan at a check cashing store.

Jesus Christ that lineup looks like a collection of old folks dressed up after Sunday church about to make some IHOP waitress's last few hours of her shift a literal hell on Earth.

And apparently he's listed as 6'3" weighing 215 lbs. That is not the face of a 215 lb person over 6 feet.

Lmao his comb over hair must be like a foot long. I would pay good money to see him caught in a heavy downpour.

Lemmy doesn't have the equivalent of reddit gold, but if any comment ever deserved it, it is this one. What a fucking ghoul.
