We're barely 48 hours into the new Dobbs era - the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade - and the pundits are already trying to rewrite not only history, but current events.

I watched ABC News' This Week today, and the "Powerhouse Roundtable," or at least some on that panel, were trying to minimize the effects Friday's decision will have on November's mid-term elections.  Guests opined that Americans have many other things on their minds - gas prices, grocery prices, and so on - and that access to abortion isn't really that big an issue to the electorate.  In other words, they were trying to ensure that Republicans don't lose their advantage going into November.

Guest host Martha Raddatz even opined that "I was struck by the picture from the Supreme Court this morning," she said.  "There weren't any protestors out there.  They dispersed pretty quickly there."

Fine, but later that same day, ABC News reported that crowds are still out in cities across the U.S., including in front the Supreme Court in Washington, protesting the decision.  As Bloomberg News noted, the crowd in Washington today is smaller than Friday's crowd, but still consisted of "several hundred" people on the third straight day of protest, despite high temperatures and humidity.

Hey, Raddatz - just because you didn't see protesters this morning at whatever pre-dawn hour you drive to the studio to tape your 11:00 am show doesn't mean they weren't there later.  And the size of the crowd in front of the courthouse isn't directly correlative with voter's decisions this November.

Meanwhile, at a protest last night in Providence, R.I., off-duty police officer and State Senate candidate Jeane Lugo, running on a Republican "pro-life" campaign, punched his opponent, a woman, in the face several times.  That officer is now suspended and has dropped out of the race, although knowing Republicans, they'll probably try and make him into either a hero or some sort of cancel-culture, free-speech martyr.

From gun obsession and school shootings, to inaction on climate change, to racial and income inequality, to the Dobbs decision, I'm pretty disappointed by America right now. Oh, and while it's barely made a ripple in the news, that cowardly villain Putin used this moment of U.S. obsession over its own problems to resume shelling Kyiv in the Ukraine. But you don't care about that, because you think it's not about you.
