Republican rebrand 'pro-life'

A group affiliated with Senate Republicans said this week that the term "pro-life" is no longer resonating with voters. Republicans move away from "pro-life" messaging on abortion to boost their electoral prospects after a series of election losses when reproductive rights were on the ballot. But are the GOP candidates anti-abortion in secret? More than before! You will learn precisely how extremely anti-abortion they are if you vote for them!

GOP Sen. Wants to Defund the Military Over Abortion Policy

Mike Lee tweeted his support for Tommy Tuberville, who has been stonewalling military appointments in protest of the Pentagon’s health care policies. On Friday, the Republican senator from Utah tweeted out a defense of his colleague from Alabama, who has been holding a months-long one-man embargo against critical military promotions. Lee even called for Republicans to “de-fund” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.

Learn how crazy Republican politicians are by voting for them! IT IS THE ONLY SCIENTIFIC WAY TO KNOW HOW NUTTY THEY REALLY ARE! EXPERIMENT WITH YOUR GOVERNMENT BY GIVING TRUMPARDS THE POWER THEY CRAVE! WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG BY LETTING THE MENTALLY ILL BE IN CHARGE??

Nobody cares about DeSantis dude. And if you haven't noticed, Trump isn't even campaigning.

And you REALLY need to break that habit of only reading headlines and actually read to the end of every article you post.

From the same article:

Quote:

According to Real Clear Politics, former President Trump currently has 52% support in the 2024 Iowa Republican Primaries, 27.8 points ahead of DeSantis at 16.7% and South Carolina Senator Tim Scott at 9.5 in third place.


Yeah... It sure sounds like they should be worried. If Trump is worried about that lead, Biden must be fucking terrified about his 0.4 point lead in the aggregate.



Meanwhile... In reality...

Vox is pissing it's pants about Trump.

https://www.vox.com/politics/2023/9/8/23861488/polls-trump-biden-2024

What?

I thought he was going to be put in prison or the 14th Amendment was going to save you?




Are you tired of being lied to yet?

Nah... I didn't suppose that you were.

Speaking with the conservative host Glenn Beck, Trump said he has no choice if he is re-elected but to lock his opponents away.

Specifically, Trump was asked, "Do you regret not locking [Hillary Clinton] up? And if you’re president again, will you lock people up?” to which Trump replied, "The answer is you have no choice because they’re doing it to us.”

Dr. Lance Dodes, the supervising analyst emeritus at the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, questioned Trump's ability to think straight.

"Trump's latest threats to place opponents in jail, including President Biden, fit with the limitless nature of psychopaths," he stated. "Lacking a conscience or morality to limit his sadism, and believing in his worth above all others, leads Trump to think he has the right to destroy anyone who does not submit to him."

Dodes then added, "Trump is an extreme outlier in human psychology."

Trump is explaining exactly how wild and extreme his second term would be

Donald Trump is conjuring his most foreboding vision yet of a possible second term, telling supporters in language resonant of the run-up to the January 6 mob attack on the US Capitol that they need to “fight like hell” or they will lose their country.

The rhetorical escalation from the four-times-indicted ex-president came at a rally in South Dakota on Friday night where he accused his possible 2024 opponent, President Joe Biden, of ordering his indictment on 91 charges across four criminal cases as a form of election interference.

“I don’t think there’s ever been a darkness around our nation like there is now,” Trump said, in a dystopian speech in which he accused Democrats of allowing an “invasion” of migrants over the southern border and of trying to restart Covid “hysteria.”

The Republican front-runner’s stark speech raised the prospect of a second presidency that would be even more extreme and challenging to the rule of law than his first. His view that the Oval Office confers unfettered powers suggests Trump would indulge in similar conduct as that for which he is awaiting trial, including intimidating local officials in an alleged bid to overturn his 2020 defeat.

Characteristically, Trump also turned criticism of his behavior against his political foes, implicitly arguing that the true peril for America’s political freedoms did not spring from his attempt to invalidate a free and fair election, but from efforts to make him face legal accountability for doing so. “It’s really a threat to democracy while they trample our rights and liberties every single day of the year,” he said.

“This is a big moment in our country because we’re either going to go one way or the other, and if we go the other, we’re not going to have a country left,” he told supporters in South Dakota. “We will fight together, we will win together and then we will seek justice together,” he added. This followed a March rally in which he billed his 2024 campaign and potential second term as a vessel of “retribution” for supporters who believe they’ve been wronged.

Trump is a highly skilled demagogue whose facility for injecting falsehoods and conspiracies into the country’s political bloodstream creates a swirl of chaos and acrimony in which he alone seems to prosper. And his words shape public opinion. In a recent CNN poll, for example, only 28% of Republicans thought Biden legitimately won sufficient votes to win the 2020 election. This comes after years of Trump incessantly denying he lost, and despite courts throwing out his multiple challenges to the result.

Trump can't win a general election; period. And, he will be in jail before it comes to that.
