American Politics: Indictments Galore

He is still living in denial about 2020.

Moreover, everyone who was there cheered. I saw a piece of Vox that basically discusses why that is far more important. Effectively, we, the people against Trump, the media establishment, all those election officials who certified Biden's win, we are the new November Criminals.

Basically, we got a large target on our backs then. It should be clear though that the crowd was mostly comprised of GOP Voters, but it's still a terrifying prospect: because if this is how the rest of the country feels (we need some better statistics), then we're in trouble.

Fort Benning has been renamed to Fort Moore https://www.northwestgeorgianews.com/ro ... c7d2a.html

Lt. Gen. Moore is an excellent choice for a the name. He has an Army Distinguished Service Cross, a Legion of Merit with two bronze oak leaf clusters, and a Bronze Star Medal with "V" Device and three bronze Oak Leaf Clusters.

God knows at this point. We're still 18 months away, but unless this debt mess is cleared up and the economy can get back on the right track, Trump will be back. At this point, I do not think Desantis can win unless he makes a stellar showing in the debates, and that's not until August.

I just can't understand how someone so antithetical to the values nominally espoused by modern American conservatism could hold so much sway. I mean, on a logical level, sure, I understand how, demagoguery and all that, and I even said those values are nominal, but the fact that he enjoys a near messianic level of regard is so utterly mind boggling at the same time.

It isn't. The crowd was purposefully stacked with GOP voters. Regardless, even at the height of Trump's popularity in 2016, he still lost the popular vote, and only became president due to our archaic, anti-democratic Electoral College system.

CNN is no better than Fox News now.

If the GOP gets the chance to run the country alone like they want to, then LGBT people and immigrants won't be the only targets of their purges.

Another state and another measure joins the Plaza, and this time it's pretty major.

Ohio: Ohio will be voting on August 8 on an amendment that would raise the threshold for approving constitutional amendments from a simple majority to a 60% majority.

Sounds like a good idea.

It's the culmination of 60+ years of the right creating its own reality via its own news media gaslighting the public into thinking it alone is right.

Those are the values held by modern-day conservatives. The Republican Party has wholeheartedly embraced fascism.

Is there any other kind of medical care that has access limited on the basis of age alone? Like, do American doctors refuse to perform appendectomies on anyone under the age of 18?

Except in cases of immediate emmenint harm, they require parental consent to do so. I would have no problem with the same being the case here.

Doctors must receive the informed consent of patients before performing medical procedures, that's true. Patients must understand what is going to be done to them and what the associated risks are. But while younger children might not be able to understand much of anything about surgery, I don't think any doctor would schedule a teenager for surgery without sitting down with them and explaining the procedure. And I certainly don't think a doctor would go ahead with surgery against the wishes of a teenage patient but with the approval of their parents. And I'm sure that there are cases where doctors will go ahead with a procedure with the permission of a teenaged patient but against the wishes or without the knowledge of their parents. Abortions being an obvious example. So I find it hard to believe that there is no possibility for nuance in the law when it comes specifically to transition related surgery.

I'm not even sure if that will be enough: the GOP Base is hellbent on renominating him.

Debt I think will be resolved, but the economy is another issue. The economy is in "good" shape, but inflation has been the killer here. And Biden's age - Americans think he's too old. So, it's going to be either they support the criminal who will further tear apart America by going after his perceived enemies or the old man that isn't mentally as sharp may die within the next 5 years, but would provide stability.

Honestly, I'm not sure who can win at this point. Biden seems to be running because he's convinced no Democrat, including his VP, can win. He's probably not wrong.

If Trump wins (the nomination), Biden wins.

If Desantis wins, Biden loses.

If GOP wants to pull a victory Desantis must be nominated.

Was it 60 years? I would have said this goes back to the Millennial Dominionism movement which came to fruition in the 70's and the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine in the 80's.

if Ron DeSantis gets his ass kicked by Fucking Charlie Crist in the governor debate, what chance does he have against Donald Trump?

No he's wrong. Any prominent Democrat with a last name starting with W can win. I'm talking Walz, Whitmer, Warnock, Williamson

Or just doesn’t care if fascists win as long as it helps their bottom line. When will the GOP stop pretending to be the party of Christian morality and confess to being murderous sycophants that want nothing but the harm of the Other for their own personal gain?

True, but politics is now about the individual candidate, not the party.

I've been saying it on here for years, I was more or less praying(and I'm not even religious) that Biden wouldn't go full Hindenburg because him doing so meant that the Democrats had no one else that could keep the country alive. That he has been more or less forced to do so is a troubling sign.

And to everyone else reading, I know you guys are probably tired of my doom and gloom outlook, but I'm a history fanatic, and all of this falls right in line with how many other countries saw their democracies die.

The first three would be cool (for a Democrat) but I’m not sure about Williamson.

Trump isn't exactly a beacon of health. I'd wager he would die before Biden does, despite Biden being older.

Republicans are campaigning on losing issues. They've shot themselves in the foot with the Dobbs Supreme Court Case, and we've already seen the ramifications of that in the 2022 midterms.

Amending a Constitution is a more major step than passing laws, so I see no reason why a larger majority should not be required. If 40% of the voters are against an amendment, perhaps it is not a good idea.

Lol. Warnock evicted a tenant from his property for 28 dollars in overdue rent. Yet preaches about helping the disadvantaged.
