A recent a Change.org petition has surfaced from Matthew Rogers of Brooklyn, New York, requesting that the robotic Donald Trump not open his robotic mouth at the Hall of Presidents attraction at Magic Kingdom. The attraction is currently closed for refurbishment, presumably to add the 45th president.

"Mr. Trump, as the evidence continues to pile up, would you like to admit that your campaign WAS in fact coordinating with the Russians?"
"Nyet, comr....errr, no sir!"
You still have Zoidberg.... You ALL have Zoidberg! (V) (;,,;) (V)

Going back to the start of the thread, I think that means you're up, Pete.
No thanks Gonch, almost time to sit back on the boat, drink in hand and not worry about the ways of the world. :)
I'd rather be in my boat with a drink on the rocks, than in the drink with a boat on the rocks.

From the article (emphasis mine):
The 1977 Hyde Amendment dictated that federal Medicaid funds could only be used to fund abortions in cases of rape, incest or to protect the life of the mother. However, some states have expanded cases in which they will provide funds. Currently, 17 states allow funds to be used for "medically necessary" abortions. In those cases that these states count as medically necessary but that are not permitted by the federal guidelines, states cover the cost alone.
These cases seem to fit what you consider to be appropriate justification for abortion:

My POV really is, if you don't want children, don't have unprotected sex to begin with, then you don't have to worry about paying for an abortion.
People who were raped, molested, or who have a medical need for an abortion aren't people who made poor decisions.
Also from the same article
Abortion is driving the defund-Planned-Parenthood discussion in the wake of undercover videos from the anti-abortion-rights Center for Medical Progress. The group says its videos show Planned Parenthood officials discussing the sale of fetal tissue and have sparked a political firestorm. Planned Parenthood, for its part, says it does not sell fetal tissue and claims these transactions were donations.
Title X does not allow federal funds to be used for abortions. Medicaid, however, does allow government money to be spent on them — in very restricted cases.
However, this 3 percent statistic has many critics, who point out, for example, that it doesn't explain how much of Planned Parenthood's revenue comes from abortion. Others note that the figure counts services provided, not patients served — and some patients receive more than one service from the organization. That means more than 3 percent of patients receive abortions (Politifact this week estimated the figure at around 12 percent, for example).
Some of the comments in this thread have aged very poorly.

It was sad to see posts from Pete, knowing he's no longer with us.

I'm 75% sure that the checks and balances of our Constitution mitigate the risk, but I'm not going to sit here and believe that the inability to pass toxic legislation precludes a person in that position to cause extraordinary harm by his words alone.
Of all the things, I wish I would have been wrong about this.

I don't have the patience to go back through all this. I will say though that I was on part of the team that worked on the new show for Trump and if I get to be on the next team, I will take immense pleasure in the work that has to be done this time around. *fingers crossed*

Dinner at Boma (when it reopens) on me if you admit that robot Trump's face is actually made from a model of Hillary that had to be altered last minute after it was already built.
Yeah but the soups at Boma along with the peanut rice and spiced pork ribs beat out Jiko any day. I do think the zebra domes are overrated though
