    Idaho state Sen. Dan Foreman was according to his Bio in command of planes and such. But he’s not in control of his emotions, as the OP makes clear.

    Also I guess he’s opposed to Rape and incest exceptions to abortion prohibitions, because he wants to just restrict abortion further

    Sen. Melissa Wintrow (D), said the “rape exception” in Idaho code is not worth the paper it’s printed on because most victims don’t report to police, police reports are protected from release by lay, doctors don’t want to expose themselves to litigation, most women don’t know they are pregnant in the first trimester and it’s difficult to get emergency contraception in the state.

    “If we really want to be compassionate to victims of sexual and domestic violence, the government wouldn’t make it harder to get an abortion after one of the most intimately violent experiences anyone could endure. The trauma and shock that victims experience is already hard to navigate and then adding this grocery list of procedures you have to figure out doesn’t help. The traumas that victims experience are not neatly sorted into boxes and to navigate a complex and hostile web of laws to find support is not easy. We need to trust women and trust their judgements instead of treating them like second class citizens that can’t manage their own lives without stringent and cruel laws,” Wintrow said.

    Indigenous people, including the Nez Perce tribe, have lived in the Columbia River Basin for thousands of years. Foreman was born in Lake Forest, Illinois.

    lmao

    Interesting that he got so angry so quickly after the mention of Aryan Nations. Almost like he has a personal stake in them remaining unknown to the general public…

      Just think that asshat is a Senator, which means a bunch of other asshats think he’s smart too.

          “Just think how stupid the average person is… then realize that 50% of people are dumber than that!”

          Paraphrased from George Carlin.

            Oh yeah, I watched some reaction video tonight on Carlin. Its funny how what he saw hasn’t changed at all but so few know about it. The young person watching got hung up on the stupidest things and missed the point as well. Choosing to concentrate on some minor generational use of words rather than the message itself.

              Yeah, there are a few of those comedians who I believe will prove timeless. Carlin’s and Pryor’s works in particular will never completely lose relevance because they’re such fundamental takes on humanity.

    TIL “freedom” in the context of the U.S.A is about allowing racist bigotry and evil shit in the name of capitalism
