US politics - cooked

I like how the author says "it gets more disturbing " as though the entire thing isn’t already well past the disrupting phase.

“Wonderful Nazis” is the most creative (and arguably the most disturbing) way I’ve heard domestic terrorist described.

I don’t know. The “10 things that show Hitler was one of the good guys” was pretty disturbing.

Not sure if anyone has been following this …pretty horrific ….5 police officers in the US beating a 29 year old man Tyre Nichols to death in Memphis. The 5 police officers have been charged with murder. History keeps repeating itself

It’s a failed state lets be honest

Fox News has spent years demonising AOC.
They seem to be particularly worried about her.

It is nowhere near a failed state. But it is a sad state.

Republicans doubling down.

The Republican National Committee passed a resolution Monday urging party members at both the state and federal levels to pass the most aggressive anti-abortion legislation possible in the run-up to 2024.

It specifically points to heartbeat bills, which usually translate as six-week gestational bans — before most women know that they’re pregnant — and “fetal pain” legislation, premised on the anti-abortion myth that embryos and fetuses can feel pain far before they’ve developed the structures that would allow them to.

The resolution also blames Republicans’ historically weak midterms performance on candidates failing to push their anti-abortion bona fides hard enough.

“Instead of fighting back and exposing Democratic extremism on abortion, many Republican candidates failed to remind Americans of our proud heritage of challenging slavery, segregation, and the forces eroding the family and the sanctity of human life, thereby allowing Democrats to define our longtime position,” the resolution said.

There hasn’t been as much posting on Trump (thankfully) on this site, so I don’t really know what he’s up to. The below article seems to be saying that he and Desantis are fighting more than I realised already for the 2024 primary.

I doubt it’s a vote winner for them.

Agreed. Quite the reverse. If they didn’t do anything it might be seen as Roe vs Wade didn’t really change much. If they keep a steady stream of articles on various states making rights harder to access and its part of the official platform its harder for any Republican to distance themselves from it.

Good. I hope they destroy each other.

The last thing we need is for them to unite behind one of these clowns again.

Is that (being like Paul Ryan) a good or a bad thing?

If Trump is comparing Desantis to Ryan it’s a bad thing - for the nutty right.
