God, that's prophetic. And there are numerous posters here who fit that description to a tee. Especially the 'what feels good and what's true' bit.
Meli, are you peeking again?

Just a week after Ohio House speaker Jason Stephens said he didn’t support holding a special August election to raise the standards on ballot measures, the Republican now says it’s a “possibility.” As you know, Ohio Republicans in the state have been pushing to require 60% of the vote to pass a ballot measure as opposed to a simple majority—an effort that has ramped up as pro-choice advocates came closer to getting abortion in front of voters this November. The Columbus Dispatch editorial board came out against the August special election today, writing that “this entire effort slaps voters in the face and betrays our democracy.”
Missouri Republicans are moving to do the same rule-changing around ballot measures; lawmakers began debating the issue in the Senate yesterday. Also in Missouri, the editorial board of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch pointed out a some state-level Republican hypocrisy that managed to shock even me: State Sen. Justin Brown, a cosponsor of Missouri’s abortion ban, voted to block the enforcement of ordinances against cat declawing because, he said, lawmakers shouldn’t have the right to interfere in cats’ private medical decisions. This quote is straight out of the fucking Onion: “It interferes with the patient-client relationship with the practitioner. I think that needs to be between the practicing veterinarian and the owner of the pet.” I’m going to need someone to sedate me, seriously.

The indictment is not the retribution T had in mind and best served cold by us. Crow, however, is better fried:

Republican Senator Blocks Military Promotions Over Abortion Policy
Senator Tommy Tuberville is holding up scores of Defense Department appointments in protest of a new Pentagon policy to ensure that military personnel can obtain abortions after the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
...
“It may not be his intent, but he is effectively accomplishing what our adversaries could only dream of: denying our military of its leadership and degrading our ability to fight and win the nation’s wars,” Senator Jack Reed, Democrat of Rhode Island and the Armed Services Committee chairman, said during a floor speech this week. He accused Mr. Tuberville of a “profound assault on the professionalism of the men and women of the armed services.”
