For what it’s worth, she was apparently talking more about The Pill than condoms. Of course, unless Martin Shkreli started dabbling in contraceptives, I can’t imagine it actually being more expensive to use birth control than to raise a kid.

I think that that smirky motherfucker should have had a lot more prison time, myself.

Gee, this driver that helps bring me to work sometimes is making me lose brain cells.This driver guy, who is a republican, by the way, said just, dumb things. He said mandates are against the constitution, like mandates about COVID, because he believed you should be free to do things you want to do, and I know personally, having freedom is no excuse to not make yourself and others around you safe.
Another thing he said, he said it was Barack Obama's fault for the Ukraine war happening, just because Obama asked Ukraine to join NATO. Thing is, it was Ukraine's decision to join NATO, not his, and furthermore, it was Russia, or Putin's (who I like to call Putin-head) decision to invade Ukraine. Obama had nothing to do with that decision.
Finally, while the driver did say he did not like Trump as a person, he called Trump a great leader, for doing things like raising social security, which has not happened in 15 years. I am pretty sure any small amount of good things Trump may have done; if any; were superficial compared to the bad things he has done, and he has done much worse.
The driver also said that 80% percent of Trump's cases were dropped, and said it was a big win for Trump. I do not know where he got that from, since it is clearly NOT true at all, but I think he got it from some republican-run news media thing.
I swear, some people are just...ridiculous. The fact is, in a way, this guy is Hispanic looking, due to having a darker skin tone. Still, he chooses to side with the republicans who clearly are NOT on his side, at all, nor are they on anyone's side for that matter. I mean, I have absolutely nothing against Hispanic people, I Just wish (at least) some of them would be more aware about the bad things about the republicans. This guy in particular, he is just...unbelievable. Literally.

The reps have done a stellar job of convincing expatriate Cubans that the Democratic party is communist. If your cab(?) driver is of Cuban extraction, it could explain that attitude.

I think he is more of Mexican descent, actually.

Sarah Sanders accused of altering public records about her $19,000 podium purchase
Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-AR) faces new and deepening questions in the so-called "Podiumgate" controversy, following a new report that she tried to alter records about an invoice for a $19,000 lectern she purchased with a state government credit card, according to the Associated Press.
"The Arkansas GOP paid for the lectern in September, but the words 'to be reimbursed' were only added later to the original invoice, records released this week show. The undated reimbursement note adds to weeks of scrutiny over the purchase, which has dominated political talk in Arkansas," reported Andrew DeMillo. "The Republican Party of Arkansas reimbursed the state for the purchase on Sept. 14, and Sanders’ office has called the use of a state credit card for the lectern an accounting error. Sanders’ office said it received the lectern in August."
Prior reports have indictated, however, that the reimbursement was only arranged after reporters started asking questions.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
