Dudes a piece of shit still, but the article is 3 years old.
We wouldn't want people to forget what a racist Sen Bill Cassidy is.
I hope this article makes the rounds again next year, right around the time he is up for reelection.
I’m sure those rates are way better now. Because of all the beautiful winning.
It's a spambot with an agenda. And oh my did people get mad at pointing that out.
So you think he has learned from his mistakes and improved his atrocious stance?
Im impressed that you managed to read the second half of my comment without reading the first. The whole comment is a dozen words, so thats a real feat.
I did read it, I just found questionable as it seems you are dismissing this as too old to care
Cassidy is still a Senator and a piece of shit, so what does it matter if the racist thing he said is 3 years old?
I literally said hes still a piece of shit, so that should answer your first question. As to "how is this not relevant?"
The article is talking about what might happen if Roe is overturned by the supreme court, and what that might mean down the line. That happened already. We are out of "might" and are several years down the line.
Lets talk about what's currently happening, now. Discussing a speculative article about changes that "may occur in the future" is pretty odd when we are 3 years in the future and can literally tell the article what happened.
I mean, you could have just said all that... we are not mind readers, you know?
