Elites aren’t feeling lovelorn, because that would imply they are capable of loving someone other than themselves. No, this is more like some guy who decided to treat human beings like cattle, and is enraged/terrified to find that some of the “cattle” has escaped! So in short, we are looking at whatever variety of -lorn it is that narcissists experience.

Conservative voters are lorn
Since the Trump revolution was born
Mrs. Clinton’s a loser
No way they can choose ‘er
But The Donald? Many are torn

The lorn liberal women of Texas are cheering their right to dirty, back alley abortions again. As my son and husband often say, “there is just no pleasing some people”. (Austin Powers reference)

Congratulations, uncle...

Some are lorn of all things
From love to aft and fore-
And enough sense to move
To avoid a swinging door

Most are those snowflakes
Who live in some Lala land
Who are brain and spine lorn-
They faint, cry and demand

Safe spaces for their vapors
And to avoid rational thought
I hope that their parents like
What no discipline has bought...

On Bonanza there was Greene, Lorn
Who woke up on one bright morn
On a ranch in Nevada
And three sons he had a
Reason to toot his horn.

I wonder if any of the supremes who voted to allow those lax rules just approved a return to those back alley abortions performed by just about anyone with a bit of medical training realizes what they just did? Obviously, the liberal harpies don’t see it...

Guys at work say that most of the women who insist on abortion on demand are so unattractive no one would want to f*** them anyway...

As we know, liberals have no sense of responsibility. They worship at the alter of abortion to the point that dirty, ill equipped rooms with half-assed doctors don't matter, as long as they have the option available to them to kill their babies.

I refuse to concern myself with them - let them kill off their children at will. We tried and this proves even more than ever before that those who are willing to sit out this election are voting in a liberal justice. This no longer has anything to do with Trump - we have survived presidents before....but we won't survive a liberal S.C.

Totally agree-give them what they want-good and hard-and when a bunch of them end up having their fertility ended by infection or surgery-or even end up dead-following a botched abortion in a dirty pretend “clinic”-don’t make it easy for them or the family to file a malpractice suit-you get what you pay for-and in this case what they paid for was infanticide-I have no sympathy at all-a woman who aborts a baby-unless her life is actually physically endangered, which is so rare it is almost non-existent-should never get pregnant again, but that is just my opinion...

Exactly - you can’t give advice to someone who thinks they are ever wrong. The selfish generation only thinks of themselves and their own feelings and wants.
