Before you hear bad information on this from whining members of our progressive betters (in fact, I just heard some clown on Inners complain Kaine’s position on abortion is SOOOOOOO 90’s), Tim Kaine is pro-choice and anti-abortion.
What, you say? HOW CAN THAT BE?
Simple, if you have two functioning brain cells. He personally opposes abortion. Here he is in his own words:
Q: When you first ran as Lieutenant Governor, you were classified as a pro-life Democrat. You’re now not considered a pro-life Democrat. How would you describe your abortion position?
KAINE: People use labels all the time. But I’m kind of a traditional Catholic. I don’t like it personally. I’m opposed to abortion. And personally I’m opposed to the death penalty. I deeply believe, and not just as a matter of politics, but even as a matter of morality, that matters about reproduction and intimacy and relationships and contraception are in the personal realm. They’re moral decisions for individuals to make for themselves. And the last thing we need is government intruding into those personal decisions. So I’ve taken a position which is quite common among Catholics. I’ve got a personal feeling about abortion, but the right role for government is to let women make their own decisions.
Got it? He opposes abortion and as such WILL NEVER FUCKING HAVE ONE, but he doesn’t think it is the government’s job to tell women what to do with their bodies.
THAT’S THE VERY FUCKING DEFINITION OF PRO-CHOICE. You SUPPORT the right for someone to make a choice. Pro-choice does not mean, as the lunatic right will tell you, that you are pro-abortion. It simple means you think people should have a choice. He has a 100% rating from NARAL and Planned Parenthood. Now who you going to believe? Them, or some wankers on your fb feed?
This is for anyone who claims he is anti-choice.

Earlier today a single perpetrator went on a shooting spree at a shopping mall in Munich, Germany. The Munich Police have now issued an all clear, confirming a single shooter, and indicating that public transportation has resumed and the shelter in place order is lifted. A press conference is ongoing, so we’ll hopefully have more information soon. As of right now we know that there are 10 dead, including the shooter who committed suicide, and 21 wounded. The only current indication of who the shooter might be and what he wanted is from an eye witness who indicated that the shooter “yelled an anti-foreigner slur”. As always this is an ongoing situation and the information is likely to change over the next 24 to 48 hours.
Update at 8:20 PM EDT
Here’s the link to the Munich Police press conference.
Update at 8:25 PM EDT
The Guardian has reported, based on a translation of the Munich Police’s press conference, that the shooter was an 18 year old German of Iranian descent. His body was found at 8:30 PM local time. They have confirmed that he shot himself.
Update at 8:40 PM EDT
The Guardian is reporting that the Munich Police have indicated that the shooter had lived in Munich for a long time and had no criminal record. The investigation is ongoing and no motive has been reported yet.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz sighting!
Don’t worry; it’ll get better. Here’s a crowd you wouldn’t see at a Trump rally:
They’ve repurposed the GOP convention’s “lock her up” chant, saying “lock him out” (of the White House). Here’s Charlie Crist:
Don’t worry; it’ll get better.
Must be a fairly large number of ex-cheerleaders in attendance; new cheers go up every few minutes. Here’s Bill Nelson:
Will post updates as I’m able!
UPDATE:
Tada! She gave a terrific speech.

I haven’t seen Steve since last night and he missed his morning feeding, so I am wondering if he jumped the fence and is out and about. Not going to freak out because it is still daytime and he will probably come home tonight. But I hate it when he does this. The problem with cats is there is no real point searching for them because you will only find them when they want you to- he’ll either come home or he won’t. Furry bastards.
Everyone tell Steve to come home.
