IN FAIRNESS TO STANK ASS, SOME SAY IT SOUNDED BETTER IN THE ORIGINAL GERMAN.
NOT ONLY HAS STANK ASS PRAISED HITLER ("HITLER DID SOME GOOD THINGS") HE ALSO DOES A MEAN GOOSE-STEP AIDED BY THE FACT THAT HE KEEPS S**TING HIMSELF IN PUBLIC WHICH LUBRICATES HIS FAT UPPER THIHGS AND ALLOWS HIM TO SWING THOSE LEGS HIGHER AND HIGHER.
OF
COURSE, HE ALSO USES THE LOOSE, WATERY STOOLS ON HIS FACE TO DARKEN HIS
SKIN WHICH IS WHY ONLY MISS SASSY JD VANCE DARES TO KISS HIM ON THE
MOUTH.
Joe
Arpaio did not just racially profile and abuse immigrants. What he did
was target people he suspected were immigrants. That was bad enough.
But in order to target Latino immigrants, he had to target all Latinos
-- and did. Let's not pretend otherwise.
Let's not pretend that will not happen again if Donald Trump claws his way back into the White House.
The video below got a lot of attention this weekend.
Miss
Sassy JD Vance sat down with Lulu Garcia-Navarro and apparently thought
she'd break under pressure. We noted her back when she was covering
Iraq -- as an unembeded reporter. You have to wonder about Vance and
his tiny brain that he walked into that interview after also have been a
reporter from Iraq and he didn't know a damn thing to expect.
Repeatedly, she asks him if he would have certified the 2020 election and repeatedly he refuses to answer.
He
also looks a lot fatter doesn't he? Guess that's why they were using
AI on his face -- to make it slimmer -- after his debate with Tim Walz.
He
didn't do much better on Sunday when he faced off with Martha Raddatz
on ABC's THIS WEEK. A warning before you stream, when JD Vance tries to
smile, he looks like a small child sitting on the toilet and struggling
to get a poop out. Again, you have been warned.
JD Vance couldn’t muster up a defense of Donald Trump’s
repeated mischaracterizations of migrant issues in Aurora, Colorado, on
Sunday, so he resorted to a familiar one for a successful author:
semantics.
This Week host Martha Raddatz questioned Vance
about Trump’s Springfield, Ohio-esque assailment of the town and the
subsequent pushback by its Republican mayor Mike Coffman. Trump had
claimed the city was “conquered” by Venezuelan gangs, while Coffman said Trump’s descriptions “have been grossly exaggerated and have unfairly hurt the city’s identity and sense of safety.”
Let
me be clear, he's smarmy little liar, a tiny hen-pecked man trying to
play big boy on the national stage and, no, it doesn't work for me.
So
I can't get through that entire segment but what I can get through goes
to the lies he keeps telling over and over that no one's calling him
on.
He says immigrant problems are due to all the executive orders Kamala Harris issued.
Why does no one scream liar in his face when he does that?
The
vice president of the United States does not issue executive orders.
That right is reserved for the president. He does this all this lie all
the time.
Only the president.
Do you get that?
Because I don't see anyone in the media who does grasp that.
Miss Sassy may be lying -- and should be confronted -- but then again maybe JD is just that damn stupid.
If
that's the case, he especially does not need to be running for office
because he doesn't understand how the government works.
Kamala Harris has issued zero executive orders. When he claims she's issued even one, he's lying.
IT'S THE
YEAR 2029 AND GOLDEN TOILETS DUBBED "TRUMPERS" ROAM WHAT WAS ONCE THE
UNITED STATES EATING CHILDREN AND, YES, CATS AND DOGS. PEOPLE HAD
PRAYED FOR YEARS THAT IF ONLY THEY COULD SURVIVE UNTIL JANUARY 2029 THEY
WOULD BE FREE OF DICTATOR DONALD TRUMP.
BUT THAT WAS NOT TO BE. WHEN HE WON THE 2024 ELECTION, HE REFUSED TO LEAVE. HE ANNOUNCED HE WAS NATIONALIZING THINGS.
NOT CORPORATIONS -- KNOW HE WAS ALWAYS FOR THE EXTREMELY WEALTH.
HE
NATIONALIZED EVERYTHING ELSE. HE STARTED WITH OUR STATE PARKS AND
OTHER FEDERAL LANDS BY STATING, "IN THE NAME OF THE GREAT DONALD TRUMP
AND WITH MY SEAL OF APPROVAL" A TWO-POUND PERSONAL TURD STRAIGHT FROM
THE ASS OF THE ASS "I CLAIM THIS FOR TRUMPLANDIA."
THE
PRESS LAUGHED AND CHORTLED AND SOME WENT TO THE TROUBLE OF EXPLAINING
WHAT THE DIFFERENT SHADES OF TURDS MIGHT MEAN. JONATHAN TURLEY, POSING
AS A LEGAL SCHOLAR, INSISTED THAT AS LONG AS THE TURD WAS CORN FREE, IT
WAS LEGAL. BUT IF THE TURD HAD CORN? JONATHAN TURLEY SAID HE WOULD EAT
HIMSELF.
WHICH HE DID.
WITH GREAT ZEAL AND RELISH.
AT LEAST EIGHTY TIMES OVER.
SO DONALD TRUMP WENT AROUND 'NATIONALIZING' OTHER THINGS. EVENTUALLY, HE GOT TO 'NATIONALIZING' CONGRESS.
FINALLY,
A FEW PUSHED BACK AND SAID THAT SURELY THIS WAS NOT AUTHORIZED IN THE
CONTITUTION -- NOT EVEN IN THE FORMER UNITED STATES NOW KNOWN AS
TRUMPLAND.
JONATHAN TURLEY SHOOK HIS HEAD VIGOROUSLY INSISTING THAT IT WAS LEGAL AS HE CONSUMED A PARTICULARLY LENGTHY TURD.
SEXY
BEAST -- AS DONALD TRUMP NOW INSISTED ON BEING CALLED; FULL TITLE "THE
SEXY BEAST OF THE WORLD AND UNIVERSE" -- INSISTED IT WAS FULLY LEGAL.
HE POINTED OUT THAT HE NOT NATIONALIZED THE SUPREME COURT AND HE TOOK
THE CASE TO THEM.
THEY FOUND IN HIS FAVOR WITH BRETT KAVANAUGH PRAISING "THE FLAVOR" OF SEXY BEAST'S URINE AS HE DOWNED BOTTLE AFTER BOTTLE OF IT.
IT WAS AT THAT TIME THAT THE UNITED STATES AND DEMOCRACY OFFICIALLY ENDED.
AND
THE ABANDON HARRIS MOVEMENT ISSUED A STATEMENT, "WE ARE HOMOPHOBES WHO
LOATHE ALL LGBTQ+ PEOPLE BECAUSE WE ARE EXTREMISTS IN OUR RELIGION. WE
NEVER LIKED AMERICA AND OBVIOUSLY NEVER CONSIDERED OURSELVES AMERICANS
SINCE WE PLACED WHAT HAPPENS IN THE MIDDLE EAST AHEAD OF WHAT HAPPENS IN
OUR OWN COUNTRY. WE ARE PLEASED WITH SEXY BEAST AND LOOK FORWARD TO
SERVING SEXY BEAST FOR ALL ETERNITY PLUS TEN YEARS MORE."
PERENNIAL
GREEN PARTY JOKE JILL STEIN DECLARED THAT SHE WAS THRILLED WITH
TRUMPLAND AND GLAD THAT ALL THE PEOPLE WITH SKIN NOT LIKE HER OWN WERE
BEING ROUNDED UP. "THIS WILL BRING ABOUT THE REVOLUTION! AND I WILL
LEAD IT!" SHE EXCLAIMED A DAY BEFORE SHE WAS PUBLICY EXECUTED. TO BE
CLEAR, NO ONE BELIEVED SHE COULD LEAD ANYTHING -- LET ALONE A
REVOLUTION. SHE WAS KILLED JUST BECAUSE SEXY BEAST FOUND HER FACE SO
UGLY.
THERE WAS SOME HOPE
-- AMONG THE MOST EXTREMELY NAIVE -- THAT OUR BRAVE PUBLICATIONS AND
PROGRAMS MIGHT CHALLENGE SEXY BEAST AND ARGUE FOR THE RESTORATION OF
DEMOCRACY AND OF THE UNITED STATES. BUT INSTEAD, IN THESE TIMES,
DEMOCRACY NOW!, THE NATION, THE PROGRESSIVE AND OTHER ISSUED A
STATEMENT: "WE GLADLY ACCEPT CREDIT FOR DESTROYING THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA. THAT WAS OUR PLAN ALL ALONG. DEATH TO REALISM! DEATH TO
REALISM! DOWN WITH FREEDOM! DOWN WITH EQUALITY!"
PEOPLE
BEGAN TO WONDER WHAT THE POINT IN EVEN LIVING NOW WAS AS AMY GOODMAN
RENAMED HER LOUSY PROGRAM THE WHORE AND PROPAGANDA REPORT AND SPENT HOUR
UPON HOUR TRASHING KAMALA HARRIS AND TELLING THE WORLD THAT HARRIS WAS
DEAD.
BUT DEEP IN THE
HEART OF AMERICA, A FEW STALWARTS REMAINED HOPEFUL AND BELIEVED HARRIS
WAS ALIVE AND THAT, SHORTLY, SHE WOULD SEE TO IT THAT DONALD TRUMP WAS
TRIED FOR TREASON IN A REAL COURT -- NOT A TRUMPLAND COURT -- A REAL
COURT. THE ONLY QUESTION WAS: IF SHE WAS ALIVE WOULD THE PROGRESSIVE,
THE NATION, IN THESE TIMES, ZNET, DEMOCRACY NOW! AND SO MANY OTHERS
BETRAY HER AND THE UNITED STATES AGAIN?
It's amazing to watch this election cycle. Robert Kennedy Jr.
thinking he can deny attempted rape accusations -- as though William
Kennedy Smith never happened? Thinking he can be accused of assaulting
the baby sitter and still go around to the press and get away with
insisting he never said he was a choirboy? Maybe even more amazing
would be that media outlets would speak to him after that or his denial
of the known affair with the reporter -- the one that got her fired but
he can go on TV and just insists he never speaks about his personal
life.
It's really something to see.
There's
freak show Jill Stein. Let's zoom in on the Green Party v.p. slot.
No, not Butch Ware, but the v.p. she wanted to start with: Abdullah
Hammoud. She had to move back from that choice and she finally selected
Butch Ware.
But for awhile she wanted Abdullah
Hammoud. And he was a rising star for some unknown reason. The
right-wing doesn't really like him. Some elements of the left have
promoted him. And, golly gosh, MOTHER JONES is now.
And the real reason is why?
He's anti-genocide?
So
am I. So are most people. There's not really a big pro genocide group
in the US. That's why so many refuse to apply the term genocide to
what's taking place in Gaza. But that is genocide. And the genocide
has flared and increased as it does every now and then -- but even in
what passes for 'peace' has been a genocide against the Palestinian
people.
The problem with Abdullah for Jill was
first off that he was too young to be her running mate -- had she won (I
know, I know, stop laughing, we're just making a point) and been sworn
in January 20th then died in her sleep the night of, Abdullah would have
been too young to be president. He's the Mayor of Dearborn but he's
too young to be the president of the United States.
So
that was the main problem but what finally had Jill relinquish her
fantasy were two Green Party big wigs who pointed out to her that
Abdullah was the Mayor of Dearborn.
And if you've read the fawning coverage over him, you might just be nodding blankly like Jill did.
But
what Green Party thinkers understood -- and finally got through Jill's
thick head -- was that the Green Party could not build a future with
Abdullah because he is Mayor of Dearborn.
Dearborn
is where many Muslims joined the hate brigade with the fright wing. It
is very anti-LGBTQ+ at this time. That coincides with Abdullah's term
as Mayor. Like all Democrats representing that area in any form, he was
called out by a number of Muslims who felt he was pro-gay because he
was a Democrat.
Is he?
As Mayor he hasn't helped the LGBTQ+ population.
Common sense would dictate that when you do a lengthy interview with him, you get him on the record.
But no one does and MOTHER JONES didn't.
I'm not promoting homophobes. I'm not promoting politicians who betray Americans.
MOTHER JONES seems to be okay with it.
They and others create this myth of Abdullah. And I'm not a myth maker.
Tim Walz did awful in the debate and I said so.
The open prejudice and hatred that LGBTQ+ people face now since Abdullah became mayor is not something that you overlook.
And
it's amazing how much attention he's gotten from left media for his
attacks on Joe Biden and now on Kamala Harris with no one wanting to put
him on the record about the hate in Dearborn that has only increased in
the last two years, at the efforts to ban books, to strip away rights.
Shame on MOTHER JONES.
Abdullah's
the new Rocky Anderson and if you're asking "Who?" -- exactly. THE
NATION and others spent forever trying to make Rocky happen. He never
did. He became famous for being a mayor in leftist circles and then he
never delivered on anything.
Kamala
Harris has done an amazing job. Unlike others in the 2024 election
cycle, she hasn't had a year or more to build a campaign. She had to
hit the ground running She'd done and is doing an incredible job.
And that bears stating since this is a left site and I am a leftist.
I
thought THE NATION was left and THE PROGRESSIVE and MOTHER JONES and go
down the list. But I see all these attacks on her. And we're 25 days
away from the end of the election -- voting's already taking place,
November 5th will be the final day of voting -- and they're running
garbage articles? They're attacking her.
She's not doing this and she's not doing that!
I've never in my life seen the left media pile on a Democratic Party presidential candidate like this. It's appalling.
But fortunately, she doesn't have to depend upon them.
SINGER
JANET JACKSON LOST A LOT OF WEIGHT IN THE LAST TWO YEARS AND SOME ARE
WONDERING IF IT IMPACTED HER BRAIN? OVER THE WEEKEND, THE GUARDIAN PUBLISHED AN INTERVIEW
WITH HER WHERE SHE REPEATED KOOKY AND INSANE CONSPIRACY THEORIES
LEAVING FANS AND NOW FORMER FANS SAYING, "TIME AFTER TIME, YOU STAY
AWAY, AND I JUST KNOW THAT YOU'RE TELLING ME LIES."
"SHE'S
NOT BLACK," SPAT OUT NASTY MS. JACKSON WHO WENT ON TO INSIST THAT
KAMALA'S BLACK FATHER WAS REALLY WHITE. INTERESTING CONSIDERING THAT
HER OWN LATE FATHER JOE JACKSON CLAIMED CHOCTAW ANCESTORY AND HER MOTHER
IS SAID TO HAVE BLACKFOOT DESCENDENTS. SHE ALSO GREW UP AROUND DIANA
ROSS' DAUGHTERS -- TWO OF WHICH (TRACEE ELLIS ROSS AND CHUDNEY LANE
SILBERSTEIN) HAVE A WHITE MAN, ROBERT ELLIS SILBERSTEIN, AS THEIR
FATHER.
IT'S BEEN 9
YEARS SINCE JACKSON LAST RELEASED AN ALBUM. APPARENTLY, SHE'S BEEN TOO
BUSY ON Q-ANON WEBSTIES TO RECORD NEW MUSIC.
NOW
SHE HAS THE RIDICULE AND WILL, IN LAS VEGAS, DRAW WAYNE NEWTON SIZE
CLUSTERS INSTEAD OF CROWDS. IN FACT, CERTAIN FANS ARE ALREADY NOTING
THAT KAMALA HARRIS IS IN FACT BLACK BUT MAKING IT CLEAR THAT THEY WONDER
IF JACKSON TRULY IS?
IN OTHER NEWS, FLORIDA'S DISGRACED HOUSE REP. MATT GAETZ DECLARED TODAY THAT THERE ARE "AT LEAST FIVE ASSASSINATION TEAMS" TARGETING DONALD TRUMP -- AND HE ADDED, "THE TEAMS UNDERAGE MEMBERS? I'VE PARTIED WITH ALL OF THEM!"
He was a nightmare on Saturday when, speaking in North Carolina,
Donald insisted he wasn't weird: "JD and I are not weird. We've got a
lot of problems but we're not weird." Looking
sweaty and fatter than usual, Donald offered nothing of value making it
just one more representative campaign stop for the convicted felon.
Savannah Kuchar (USA TODAY) reports Donald went on TV Sunday and acknowledged that, if he lost, he would not run again in 2024. Of course, he won't. Marcia's not a psychic but she's repeatedly explained that defeating Donald this year means being done with him.
Why? He's already too damn old to be president. He's 78 right now and that's already too old to be running for president.
A double-digit increase in popularity, rising Democratic
enthusiasm and an early edge for representing “change” have vaulted Vice
President Kamala Harris forward and reshuffled the 2024 presidential contest, according to a new national NBC News poll.
With just over six weeks until Election Day, the poll finds Harris with a 5-point lead over former President Donald Trump
among registered voters, 49% to 44%. While that result is within the
margin of error, it’s a clear shift from July’s poll, when Trump was
ahead by 2 points before President Joe Biden’s exit.
While
Donald spent the weekend attempting to reassure voters that he wasn't
"weird," Democratic Party presidential candidate Kamala Harris was
addressing issues that effect the people. For example, Friday she spoke in Georgia.
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Thank you. (Laughter.)
I just — I want to say about Dr. Reddick — you know, I — some of you
may have seen I did a — an event last night with Oprah Winfrey and —
(applause) — and that — it highlighted so many tragic stories, but it
also highlighted so many important issues, which is why everyone has
taken time out of your busy lives to be here this afternoon. And it
highlighted the importance of a Dr. Reddick.
AUDIENCE: Yes.
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Because the courage, Dr. Reddick, that you are
showing in the face of these arcane and immoral laws, to stand so
publicly and talk about your commitment to your oath and to the health
and well-being of people who need to be seen and treated with dignity is
so extraordinary.
And I do believe, in moments of crisis, the world has a way of
revealing the heroes among us. (Applause.) And I would say, Dr.
Reddick, you are one of them. Thank you very much. Thank you.
(Applause.) Thank you, thank you, thank you.
And thank you to all of the elected and community leaders who have
joined us today. (Applause.) Thank you, thank you, everybody —
everybody who is here.
So, Georgia, the- — this election right here is a fight for the future. (Applause.)
AUDIENCE: Yes!
THE VICE PRESIDENT: It is a fight for the future, and it is a fight for freedom — for freedom.
And we know, in America, freedom is not to be given. It is not to be
bestowed. It is ours by right. (Applause.) It is ours by right, and
that includes the fundamental freedom of a woman to be able to make
decisions about her own body and not have her government telling her
what to do. (Applause.) Yes, we must trust women.
And we all know how we got here. When Donald Trump was president, he
hand-selected three members of the United States Supreme Court — the
court of Thurgood and RBG — with the intention that they would overturn
the protections of Roe v. Wade. And as he intended, they did.
And now more than 20 states have Trump abortion bans — extremists
that have passed laws that criminalize health care providers, doctors
and nurses, and punish women. In two states of those states, they
provide for prison for life — prison for life for health care providers
for simply providing reproductive care, the care they so earnestly and
rightly believe must be delivered. All Trump abortion bans.
And think about this: Many of these bans make no exception even for rape and incest.
Now, many of you know I started my career as a prosecutor
specializing in crimes of violence against women and children. What
many of you may not know is why.
So, when I was in high school, my best friend, I learned, was being
molested by her stepfather. And I said to her, “Look, you’ve got to
come and stay with us.” I called my mother. She said, “Of course she
does.” And she came and she stayed with us.
And so, I made the decision early in my life that I wanted to do the
work that was about protecting the most vulnerable among us and doing
the work that was about giving them dignity in the process.
AUDIENCE MEMBER: Thank you.
THE VICE PRESIDENT: And so — well, thank everybody here for being
here, standing in solidarity around the importance of that. (Applause.)
And so, I say to you, then, from that experience and from the work
that I’ve done, the idea that someone who survives a crime of violence
to their body — a violation of their body — would not have the right to
make a decision about what happens to their body next, that’s immoral.
That’s immoral.
And let us agree, and I know we do: One does not have to abandon
their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree the government should not be
telling her what to do. (Applause.)
If she chooses — if she chooses, she will talk with her pastor, her
priest, her rabbi, her imam. But it should not be the government or
Donald Trump telling her what to do with her body. (Applause.)
And think about it — the stories that Dr. Reddick shares with us, the
stories we heard last night, the stories we’ve been hearing for two
years.
One in three women in America lives in a state with a Trump abortion
ban. This includes Georgia and every state in the South except
Virginia.
Think about that when you also combine that with what we know has
been long-standing neglect around an issue like maternal mortality.
Think about that when you compound that with what has been long-standing
neglect of women in communities with a lack of the adequate resources
they need for health care — prenatal, during their pregnancy,
postpartum. Think about that.
And these hypocrites want to start talking about “this is in the best
interest of women and children.” (Applause.) Well, where you been?
Where you been — (applause) — when it comes to taking care of the women
and children of America? Where you been?
How dare they? How dare they? Come on.
And — and we understand the impact of these bans and the horrific
reality that women and families — their husbands, their partners, their
parents, their children are facing as a consequence every single day.
Since Roe was overturned, I have met women who were refused care
during a miscarriage — wanted to have a child, suffering a miscarriage.
I met a woma- — a woman — I’ve actually met several who were turned
away from the emergency room. One, at early stages after the Dobbs
decision came down, told me with tears — she was with her husband —
about how only when she developed ses- — sepsis did she receive
emergency care. Only when she developed sepsis did she receive
emergency care.
And now we know that at least two women — and those are only the
stories we know — here in the state of Georgia died — died because of a
Trump abortion ban.
One — and we heard about her story last night — a vibrant,
28-year-old young woman. She was ambitious. You know, we — I talked
with her mother and her sisters about her, and they described such an
extraordinary life of a person. She was excited. She was working
hard. She was a medical assistant. She was going to nursing school,
raising her six-year-old son.
She was really proud that she had finally worked so hard that she
gained the independence. Her family was telling me that she was able to
get an apartment in a gated community with a pool for her son to play
in. She was so proud, and she was headed to nursing school.
And her name — and we will speak her name —
AUDIENCE: Yes.
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Amber Nicole Thurman.
AUDIENCE: Amber Nicole Thurman.
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Amber Nicole Thurman.
AUDIENCE: Amber Nicole Thurman.
THE VICE PRESIDENT: That’s right.
And she had her future all planned out, and it was her plan. You
know, let’s understand — just take pause on that for a moment. She had
her plan, what she wanted to do for her son, for herself, for their
future. And so, when she discovered that she was pregnant, she decided
she wanted to have an abortion, but because of the Trump abortion ban
here in Georgia, she was forced to travel out of state to receive the
health care that she needed.
But when she returned to Georgia, she needed additional care, so she
went to a hospital. But, you see, under the Trump abortion ban, her
doctors could have faced up to a decade in prison for providing Amber
the care she needed.
Understand what a law like this means. Doctors have to wait until the patient is at death’s door before they take action.
You know, on the other side of my — you know, the — the other folks,
th- — Trump and his running mate, and they’ll talk about, (deepens
voice) “Oh, well, yeah, but I — you know, I — I do believe in the
exception to save the mother’s life.” (Laughter.) Okay. All right.
Let’s break that down. Shall we?
AUDIENCE: Yes!
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Let’s break that down. (Applause.) Let’s break that down.
So, we’re saying that we’re going to create public policy that says
that a doctor, a health care provider, will only kick in to give the
care that somebody needs if they’re about to die? Think about what we
are saying right now. You’re saying that good policy, logical policy,
moral policy, humane policy, is about saying that a health care provider
will only start providing that care when you’re about to die?
And so, Amber waited 20 hours — 20 hours, excruciating hours — until
finally she was in enough physical distress that her doctors thought
they would be okay to treat her. But it was too late. She died of
sepsis. And her last words to her mother — which her mother, as you
know, tears up and cries every time she speaks it — last words to her
mother, “Promise me you’ll take care of my son.”
So, I met last night and I spent time with Amber’s mother and
her sisters, and they spoke about Amber — a daughter, a sister, a mother
— with the deep love that you can imagine and how terribly they miss
her. And their pain is heartbreaking. It’s heartbreaking.
Amber’s mother, Shanette, told me that the word “preventable” is
over and over again in her head when she learned about how her child
died — the word “preventable.” She cannot — she can’t stop thinking
about the word that they spoke to her. It was “preventable.”
Because, you see, medical experts have now determined that Amber’s
death was preventable. And through the pain and the grief of her
mother, who courageously told her story, I promised her, as she has
asked, that we will make sure Amber is not just remembered as a
statistic — (applause) — that she will not just be remembered as a
statistic, so that people will know she was a mother and a daughter and a
sister and that she was loved and that she should be alive today —
(applause) — and that she should be alive today.
And many of us remember — there’s so many leaders here — from two
years ago when the Dobbs decision came down, we knew this could happen.
There is a word “preventable,” and there is another word: predictable.
AUDIENCE: Yes!
THE VICE PRESIDENT: And the reality is for every story we hear of
the suffering under Trump abortion bans, there are so many other stories
we’re not hearing but where suffering is happening every day in our
country, an untold number of people suffering.
Women who are also being made to feel as though they did
something wrong. The judgment factor here is outrageous — being made as
though to feel as though they are criminals, as though they are alone.
So, to those women, to those families, I say on behalf of what I
believe we all say: We see you, and you are not alone, and we are all
here standing with you. (Applause.) Standing with you. You are not
alone. You are not alone. (Applause.)
So, Georgia —
AUDIENCE MEMBER: We will not be silent.
THE VICE PRESIDENT: We — and we will not be silent.
AUDIENCE: We will not be silent.
THE VICE PRESIDENT: And we will not be silent. But this is a health care crisis.
AUDIENCE: Yes!
THE VICE PRESIDENT: This is a health care crisis, and Donald Trump
is the architect of this crisis. He brags about overturning Roe v.
Wade. In his own words, quote, “I did it, and I’m proud to have done
it,” he says. He is proud.
Proud that women are dying? Proud that doctors and nurses could be
thrown in prison for administering care? Proud that young women today
have fewer rights than their mothers and grandmothers?
How dare he? How dare he?
And in our debate last week — (laughter and applause). Well, that was fun. (Laughs.)
But — and I know everyone here paid attention to the words, though — the words, right?
AUDIENCE MEMBER: (Inaudible.)
THE VICE PRESIDENT: (Laughs.) I’m trying to get another debate. We’ll see. (Laughter.)
But in our debate last week, remember when he said: Everyone wanted Roe v. Wade to be overturned.
AUDIENCE MEMBER: I don’t know where “everyone” is.
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, exactly. I don’t know where everyone is
either, because — (laughter and applause) — women have been arrested and
charged for miscarriages. They didn’t want that.
AUDIENCE: No!
THE VICE PRESIDENT: I — I was speaking with a physician who is here,
who has, in her professional experience, been administering care to
girls. And what we know is that 12- and 13-year-old survivors of
assault are being forced to carry a pregnancy to term. They didn’t want
this.
AUDIENCE: No!
THE VICE PRESIDENT: And couples just trying to grow their family
being cut off in the middle of IVF treatments, they didn’t want this.
AUDIENCE: No!
THE VICE PRESIDENT: And on that last point, you probably saw, this
week, for the second time, Republicans in the United States Senate
blocked a bill that would protect access to IVF treatment.
Now, consider among the multitude of ironies the fact that, on the
one hand, these extremists want to tell women they don’t have the
freedom to end an unwanted pregnancy, and on the other hand, these
extremists are telling women and their partners they don’t have the
freedom to start a family. Okay. And they want to restrict access to
contraception as well.
And now Donald Trump says that he would personally cast his vote in
Florida, which is where he now lives, to support their extreme abortion
ban, just like the one that is here in Georgia. And —
AUDIENCE MEMBER: Felons can’t vote! (Laughter and applause.)
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, that’s a whole different policy discussion that we’ll have for another day. (Laughter.)
But let’s understand, if he is — if he is elected again as president,
Donald Trump will go further. (Applause.) But we know what we’re up
against, and we must — we must speak of the stakes. We must remind —
everybody here knows, but we got to remind our friends, our neighbors,
our coworkers: The stakes are so high.
Because, if he is elected again, I am certain he will sign a national
abortion ban, which would outlaw abortion in every single state. And
he would create a national anti-abortion coordinator — look at Project
2025 — and force states to report on women’s miscarriages and
abortions. It’s right there.
I can’t believe they put that Project 2025 in writing. (Laughter.)
I — I — they — they put it — they literally put it in writing. They
bound it. (Laughter.) They handed it out. I mean, they are simply out
of their minds. (Laughter and applause.)
And it’s clear that they just don’t trust women.
AUDIENCE: They don’t.
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, we trust women. We trust women. (Applause.)
And like Dr. Reddick said, when Congress passes a bill to restore
reproductive freedoms, as president of the United States, I will so
proudly sign it back into law. (Applause.) I will so proudly sign it
into law. Proudly sign it into law. (Applause.)
So, 46 days to go. And let us remember that momentum on this and so many issues — momentum is on our side. (Applause.)
Let’s remember, since Roe was overturned, every time reproductive
freedom has been on the ballot — from Kansas to California to Kentucky;
in Michigan, Montana, Vermont, and Ohio — the people of America have
voted for freedom. (Applause.) The people of America have voted for
freedom — and not just by a little but by overwhelming margins, from
so-called red states to so-called blue states, providing and making
clear, also, this is not a partisan issue. This is not a partisan
issue. And it is proving that the voice of the people has been heard
and will be heard again — and will be heard again. (Applause.)
So, 46 days to go in probably the most consequential election of our lifetime.
And with that, then, today, I ask: Georgia, are you ready to make your voices heard? (Applause.)
Do we trust women? (Applause.)
Do we believe in reproductive freedom? (Applause.)
Do we believe in the promise of America? (Applause.)
And are we ready to fight for it? (Applause.)
And when we fight —
AUDIENCE: We win!
THE VICE PRESIDENT: — we win. (Applause.)
God bless you. And God bless the United States of America. (Applause.)
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you all for being here. (Applause.)
