This really is unbelievable, it sounds like something that would be happening in some third world dictatorship! What's next? Arranged marriages? And here we've been worried about the plight of women in Afghanistan... 
Beyond ridiculous!
Most third world countries aren't as devious and machivellian as this. 
Of course I said the same thing when TFG inexplicably became POTUS and alienated our allies and declared his "love" for our most dangerous adversaries. 
I just said much the same above - she's been on before and she's impressively knowledgeable! 
Mine is thermonuclear.
Dems have to fight back hard. We only have a brief time to do it.
Thanks, Rhiannon. Hope you weathered Ida okay. 
And women are suffering now. Time is obviously of the essence for them! 
I'm in the Northeast and we had a few minutes of rain, less than we've gotten all summer! So Ida didn't hit this far upstate which is certainly a relief since we've had some pretty violent thunderstorms with high winds, power outages and flood warnings all summer. But that didn't stop the influx of tourists headed for Lake George. I've seen license plates from as far away as Florida, South Carolina, Georgia, North Carolina, Alabama and Utah! Last year everything was closed and there was a quarantine in place, this year everything was open with a vengeance and even the year-plus mask mandate was rescinded at the start of July. I'm dreading the fallout since my largely rural county has had the highest positive test rate in the state.
