Uh oh
Maybe we should just elect Trump president... again?

This seems like the easiest abortion law to throw out. It’s like someone burning down Sidehatchs house and Kosmo suing them despite the fact it wasn’t his house and he has no damages.
Apparently the private enforcement clause was added to specifically ensure the Supreme Court wouldn’t rule on it… expect other red states to follow suit with similar laws
The dems better put on their big boy pants and protect rights at the Federal level
word is Kosmo's attorney speaks with a British accent…I'm fucked
Wait..in your analogy Kosmo, is suing the actual Arsonist (which we all know was Starsky) or the one who got caught close to the scene of the crime with a book of matches (which I have to assume is STC)

Local Elections now matter more than ever, of course most red states vote against their best interest so…

My astonished rage cleared for a second and I realized that, according to this decision, states can pass all kinds of unconstitutional laws as long as they leave the enforcement to bounty hunters.
Jesus, we're back at the Kansas-Nebraska Act again.

worried your children are being taught Critical Race Theory? pass a law allowing enforcement by citizen bounty hunters..
later rinse repeat

Because this is now the abortion thread (kinda fitting)
Stole this from Jason narducy as it’s such a great quote
“‘The unborn’ are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor; they don’t resent your condescension or complain that you are not politically correct; unlike widows, they don’t ask you to question patriarchy; unlike orphans, they don’t need money, education, or childcare; unlike aliens, they don’t bring all that racial, cultural, and religious baggage that you dislike; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus, but actually dislike people who breathe. Prisoners? Immigrants? The sick? The poor? Widows? Orphans? All the groups that are specifically mentioned in the Bible? They all get thrown under the bus for the unborn”

I do love how they closed this out
Reality check: It's Trump. So anything could happen — or not. He's conflicted on the timing and nothing is ever certain. But people who have been close to him for many years are lacing up for the next race.

so i wonder how big a wrinkle this presents: RNC chair says committee can’t pay Trump’s legal bills if he announces 2024 run
for someone supposedly as rich as TFG this shouldn't be a problem… but he haaaaates paying lawyers. considers it wasted money so he gets other folks - like the RNC - to pay, if payment is to be made at all. so he has a choice: declare soon and get some legal protections (or at least complications) but start paying out of pocket; or remain on the sidelines to continue having the legal tab picked up. pretty sure he'll opt for the former.
declaring candidacy also has impact on how PACs can spend money and on what, but i wasn't clear how that works…

murdoch owned rag
WSJ wasn't so nice either
although everyone seems to love 'biggest loser'
come on people, be a little original with your dis, especially when everyone else is saying the same thing
Here is the thing…the pundits and such may not like trump…but he still has the voters, so GOP won't quit him until he scares away the voters

Rupert Murdoch has basically unleashed all of his various media apparati to taking down Trump. A third straight woeful underperformance (if not loss) under the Trump banner seems to be his breaking point.
Am going to need a lot of popcorn for the Republican presidential primary battle between Desantis and Trump…. I wonder if anyone else will figure in the contest.
I'm sure rubio and cruz will try and get creamed
Trump has already hinted he has dirt on Desan
these are horrible people, why 70mil Americans think these are good choices astounds me (but they think the same about the 80 mil dems)

SoldMyPoll4RnR wrote:Funny you mention Rubio. He just won by the same margins as DeSantis and ostensibly had a lot more to do with pulling Miami/Dade red for the first time in forever than DeSantis. Why — other than DeSantis holding the florida redistricting pen — are we acting like DeSantis alone reformed Florida (other than executive branch bias)?

Yep, that's his shtick. Get back to the "normal" republican party.

I think I’ve posted about this recently but I’ll say it again: I think there is a group of politicians — Hogan and Tulsi and Sinema, et Al — who thinks America is clamoring for some sort of dead-middle-of-the-road unity ticket that ideologically pleases no partisans but takes the temperature down on our national political discourse, and I think they’re all going to discover in very, very short order that they have imagined a market that doesn’t exist.
