Vague promises from a candidate -- how novel and different

This Tweet:


I flew Apaches over Baghdad, ready to die for our country. In the wake of the SCOTUS decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, I will not standby while Americans’ right to have an abortion is ripped away. So for the love of God, vote this November. #BansOffOurBody



Why?  Why vote for you?  Oh, you're going to fight, are you?


Well we've heard that before.  We heard that throughout ROE's lifetime and people like you did nothing.  ROE died on Friday.  But it had been bleeding out for years thanks to whorish politicians.  


So what are you going to do?


And don't say fight, Ashley.  You want people to vote for you, tell 'em what you're going to do.


Otherwise you're just another lying whore running for Congress -- and Congress has already met their quota of lying whores -- and then some.


You want people to vote for you, tell them what you're going to do.  And, Ashley, the reason people around the world are making fun of you on social media, is because you were stupid enough to say you were in Iraq fighting for America's freedom.  You weren't.  They are right to laugh at you.  Iraq was no threat to America.  And when you lie like that -- and deny that the US carried out abuse in Iraq, it makes it really hard to believe you about anything.  Including your undefined plan to 'help' if you get get into Congress.


Because, reality, the Democratic Party could codify ROE tomorrow if they wanted to.  Even Bernie Sanders says so:


Sen. Bernie Sanders said Friday that the U.S. Senate must swiftly respond to the right-wing Supreme Court's "outrageous and reactionary" decision to overturn Roe v. Wade by eliminating the legislative filibuster and codifying abortion rights into federal law.

"Six Supreme Court justices, including some who in their nomination hearings called the case 'important precedent,' today did exactly what the American people did not want and overturned Roe v. Wade," Sanders (I-Vt.) said in a statement. "This decision cannot be allowed to stand."

"If Republicans can end the filibuster to install right-wing judges to overturn Roe v. Wade, Democrats can and must end the filibuster, codify Roe v. Wade, and make abortion legal and safe," the senator added, referring to the Senate GOP's elimination of the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees in 2017, a move that paved the way for three of the right-wing justices who voted to end the constitutional right to abortion.


I don't want to hear your generalities.  Honestly, I don't even believe you if you tell me you'll do it next January.  


If you want to prove you're going to do something, do it now.


Does abortion matter?


If it matters, we can't wait six months.  


In fact, by Dems in Congress refusing to do this right now, they are themselves endorsing a waiting period for abortions.


They either stand up and earn votes right now or just shut the f**k up because we don't need to their whorish promises anymore.


Speaking of whorish politicians,  Mustafa al-Kadhimi is in Jeddah and, when he's done in Saudi Arabia, he'll move over to Iran.  Why?  He's trying to look like a prime minister.  He's hoping the new faction now in control of Parliament will allow him to remain prime minister when his term should have ended last year.  Elections were held in October and the country still has no prime minister and no president.  


From his official Twitter account, here's Mustafa with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud on Saturday.

 Let's wind down with the news that "a US logistics convoy was targeted in southern Iraq. An explosive device has been blown up on the way of passing logistics convoy belonging to US forces in Basra province, southern Iraq."


Ashely, since you're running for Congress, why don't you tell us what you'd do about getting US troops out of Iraq?  Cat got your tongue on that too?
