He did nothing different than his predecessors did. Most people realize that and that’s why nobody gives a crap about the J6 farce.
I do not seem to recall George W. Bush conspiring with a small group of aides to take actions they knew were illegal in order to delay or prevent the certification of the election.
In fact, contrary to your statement, I have a hard time recalling any president who wanted to prevent the certification of the election, was told that doing so was illegal, and still pushed his people to try to make it happen.

It seems more like people are concerned that it may become an issue than it actually being one.
Not if you read the article.Quote“Patients are having difficulty in states that have more strict anti-abortion laws, like Texas and Michigan,” she says. So far Crow has seen or been contacted by people from at least four different states who have had trouble getting their methotrexate.
Quote“Three categories of barriers I've seen are (1) The pharmacist will not physically give the patient the prescribed medication as prescribed by their rheumatologist. (2) The pharmacist is delaying giving the patient methotrexate while they sort through the potential legal issues around giving it to them, which included in one case making sure they had documentation the patient was on birth control, and (3) a rheumatologist saying across the board their entire clinic is currently not prescribing methotrexate due to potential legal issues,” she says.
While many articles we see today are following the laws to their logical conclusions, the article I posted included a doctor talking about the problems they are already seeing.-

Minnesota lawmakers vote to legalize edibles. Some did so accidentally.
QuoteA new Minnesota law lets people 21 and over buy and consume food and beverages with a small amount of hemp-derived THC, but some legislators might not have fully understood the bill before passing it.
QuoteAfter an amendment passed unanimously during a Minnesota legislative session in May, state Sen. Abeler jokingly said: "That doesn't legalize marijuana — we just didn't do that, did we?"

Not expressly written in the constitution, state's right. It is that simple. Good, bad, or ugly doesn't matter. The rule of law won.
That would be a tremendous shock to the founders and the authors of the 9th amendment. -
A lot of people here seem to want a committee to release all of their evidence and testimony while still investigating, allowing parties to coordinate their testimony with what was already provided and obscure or outright hide the truth.
Which is not how an investigative body would ever work.

Pharmacy denies woman medicine for miscarriage.
QuoteNicole Mone Arteaga said the pharmacist refused to fill her prescription when she went to a local Walgreens. The pharmacist asked if she was pregnant, according to news reports. She explained that the baby she was carrying did not have a heartbeat and her doctor had given her the prescription for a pregnancy-terminating drug, which she preferred to the alternative, a surgery to remove the fetus.
Quote“I stood at the mercy of this pharmacist explaining my situation in front of my 7-year-old, and five customers standing behind only to be denied because of his ethical beliefs,” said Arteaga
Thankfully, she was able to get the medicine at another pharmacy. -

I couldn’t agree more with you on this issue. I don’t know that R v Wade guaranteed access to abortion in the time/place of a child’s guardian’s choosing, but that’s a topic for another day.
In this scenario, would you advocate for full, unrestricted access for abortion thoroughout the entire pregnancy? Or does the viability of the child come into this discussion somewhere along the line as you mentioned the other day.
Also, when does childhood end and adulthood begin in this scenario in your opinion?
ps: Thank goodness for those perpetually happy democrats who love and trust all.
I imagine you might be able to find a way to reach a common ground on the woman’s interest to privacy and autonomy, and the state’s interest in the baby’s life.
Maybe in the first trimester, the woman can get an abortion; in the second trimester, it can be restricted based on criteria like health and viability; and in the third she could only get an abortion if the fetus was not viable or the woman’s life was in jeopardy.
And you could use very clear language to differentiate out treatment for miscarriages or for other conditions that use some of the same medicines.

Was anyone actually prevented from getting methotrexate or is it just that they are worried that it could happen?
The article is quoting a rheumatologist saying they are already seeing this. -
But there’s no way this Originalist SCOTUS would go for this since it has no basis on the history of the US, has only existed for like 20 years, and is antithetical to the vision of the founders.
Unless, of course, Originalism is just bunk and a way of picking the conclusion you want and making up a reason after…

Rheumatologists seeing problems with getting patients methotrexate.
QuoteThe issue seems to be contingent on the state where a patient lives, says Crow. Because Crow lives in Washington state, where abortion is legal, she hasn’t had any problems getting her RA medication.
“Patients are having difficulty in states that have more strict anti-abortion laws, like Texas and Michigan,” she says. So far Crow has seen or been contacted by people from at least four different states who have had trouble getting their methotrexate.
“Three categories of barriers I've seen are (1) The pharmacist will not physically give the patient the prescribed medication as prescribed by their rheumatologist. (2) The pharmacist is delaying giving the patient methotrexate while they sort through the potential legal issues around giving it to them, which included in one case making sure they had documentation the patient was on birth control, and (3) a rheumatologist saying across the board their entire clinic is currently not prescribing methotrexate due to potential legal issues,” she says.

10 year old forced to travel out of state for abortion.
QuoteHours after the Supreme Court action, the Buckeye state had outlawed any abortion after six weeks. Now this doctor had a 10-year-old patient in the office who was six weeks and three days pregnant.

Any argument that relies on the fact that the Secret Service allowed a sitting president to speak in front of people with AR-15 rifles present is invalid. The Secret Service would not have allowed Trump to get up until they had removed all known armed people in the crowd because if any one of them was anti Trump he could easily kill the president.
I think that this is a good point that highlights some of the nuance that seems to be getting missed.So far, we have seen testimony and audio of *reports* of AR-15s. While there is testimony that some weapons and body armor was confiscated, I haven’t seen confirmation that there were actually AR-15s present.

What the ***** does Roe have to do with the GOP? You understand that Supreme Court Justices are not elected right? This also one of Joke Biden’s desperate ploys to distract from the unmitigated disaster the Dems have caused. What a mess!GOP candidates are generally running on abortion bans while Dems are talking about codifying Roe into law.
Is your point that voters do not care about the abortion issue?

You've got to be high or been on Mars since January 20, 2021. Honestly. Look around. Go fill up your gas tank. Go buy groceries. Or, How about this? Maybe watch something other than CNN and MSDNC. Dems are going to get eviscerated. What a mess!
I don't watch CNN or MSNBC or any cable news. I fully expect the GOP to win the House and think they'll probably take the Senate too. Polls have been indicating a bloodbath for some time. Some think Roe will change that, but I'm skeptical it will still be driving polls by the Fall and even if it does, it would only mitigate, not reverse, the GOP wins.

I am not predicting a Dem pickup in the Senate. It's currently a toss up with a slight edge to the GOP. That's why that part starts with the word "if."
How changing the filibuster could impact bipartisanship:
Quote“The intensified political polarization that we have witnessed in the last 20 years, which is reflected in a skyrocketing use of the filibuster, means that the minority class has a real incentive to stick together with no negative consequences,” Sin said. “Senators can avoid a vote by simply sending, now a letter, to the party leader indicating they’re going to filibuster. That paralysis is very damaging when we are in a situation like an economic crisis or a pandemic that needs urgent legislation.”
QuoteSin doesn’t expect that ending the filibuster would mean extreme legislation would be automatically passed because bills would still need to get the majority of the vote, requiring support from moderate senators.
“It will always be that you have a party that goes from the moderate up to the most conservative or the moderate to the very liberal ones, from Joe Manchin to Bernie Sanders,” Sin said.
Frankly, I just don't think this is sustainable or good for the country:

And there it is! Finally Chi Goose admits to being an all-in Trump hater....as opposed to the outside, unbiased arbitrator of facts, and PPP's own Minister of Truth. Thanks for clearing it up. I shall read all of your future posts now thru the lenses of TDS colored glasses.
I don't dislike the things Trump said and did because Trump said and did them, I dislike them because they were generally bad and/or dumb.
If and when Trump actually does something good, I'll acknowledge it. I think Operation Warpspeed was one of the greatest endeavors in the last several decades and lays a blueprint for how we could address crisis in the future.
At the start of his presidency, I actually turned on Twitter notification for Trump so I would know what he was up to since he personally managed his account (unlike most politicians). That, more than anything, shaped my thoughts about him. His own words. Not CNN or what reporters said he said, but what he was actually saying and tweeting

Clean Water Act
Fresh Air Act
Recycle Everything Acts or whatever....
All have the intended or unintended (its intended) consequence of giving the Federal Government (via the Executive Branch and the now *checks notes* 220 Federal agencies) under its control.
Who are ultimately partisan bureaucrats.
I guess you don't support.....democracy.
Congress, that thing we have from our democracy, passed laws to better our environment. Since congress is a legislative body, they are not in a position to oversee all of the regulations and enforcement. So Congress, that thing we have from our democracy, voted to have an agency enforce the laws that they, congress (that thing we have from our democracy) had passed.
In our democracy, we have a congress, which writes the laws, and an executive branch, which executes them.
We can debate about how much authority congress should delegate for rulemaking and enforcement, but congress passing laws and the executive branch enforcing them is literally how our democracy works.

Or create a 1 headed monster that would just allow the power to go straight to their heads and let the ignorants run rampant ! I thought the filibuster was to prevent total one party domination ?
While they are at it like they have been trying to do so only the heavily populated areas can decide a election just do away with the electoral college too then who ever is in power can do what ever they want to do with no one to oppose it.
If they make complete & utter ignorant laws then we can all suffer for 4 years until the next election & when the opposition takes over they can just executive order everything out that was done prior and then they can do what ever stupidity they want .
They want the division because as it has been said "United we stand divided we fall" they don't want us to see their ignorants so they keep us fighting to get their agenda's done which i feel is part of the plan & it's working to a tee .
The reason why there was so much hatred right from the beginning with Trump is because he wasn't a DC insider & ran the gov't like a business and that completely pissed off all of the "Career politicians" that have been striving for their agenda's and he went against them all democrat or Republican and that's where the hate came from .
They need term limits to get these career politicians need to be out and not allowed to stay on for 50 yrs that's ridiculous & we need not pay for all their pensions !
The likes of Waters, Pelosi, Schumer, McConnel, Fienstein & others should all be gone - talk about dinosaurs some probably have dementia and only come in on their good days they sure don't need the money they've screwed the Americans out of enough while in office yet they are still there causing the divide .
Ignorance runs rampant in congress already. Creating incentives for them to actually *do* something might actually make them take measures to address our problems instead of spending all of their time grandstanding for the cameras.
I do not understand your point about the cities and the electoral college. Even if they did away with the Electoral College (which they won't), that would just mean everyone gets one vote that counts just as much as everyone else's in presidential elections. The top 100 cities in the country only contain 20% of the population, clearly not enough for whatever the scenario you're outlining is.
Part of the reason there was so much hatred from the beginning with Trump is that he's an ####### who acts like a dick and talks absolute nonsense that shows he has little idea about what he's talking about. He was never an outsider savior, he was always a grifting conman.
Also, term limits would be the biggest win for the lobbyists you could ever imagine. If you think the biggest problem right now is that big moneyed insiders don't have enough influence in congress, then term limits is the solution for you.
Ultimately, what we need is serious electoral reform so that we stop electing morons and #######, and if we do, we can hold them accountable and remove them from office.

It's a pretty easy conclusion Trump is not a career politician he is a outsider and does not in any way follow the rules as laid out by those that have been career politicians .
So they the swamp people in DC sew the hate & pass it down to all those that believe them and just like those that followed James Jones they will follow the ignorants to the death even f there are those standing with proof of the ignorants it makes no difference .
Even now paying almost triple the gas prices, higher prices for food, housing taxes, the lies about the vaccine, totally screwing up the leaving of the Afghanistan conflict, screwing the Canadians out of billions of product costs by shutting the keystone down, now ending the stay in Mexico deal opening the border to basically flood the US with more illegals that you & i will have to pay for .
If you look at the Sal Alinsky's rules of how to topple a democracy or capitalism they are going about it by his book and these jack asses are taking the bait with it hook line & sinker even despite their own wallets being lighter & not being able to do as much with or for their family's .
But stupid is as stupid does & no matter how much proof you can show or how much they suffer monetarily they like those that followed Hitler to a world war will follow their so called leaders to the end and you will never change their thought pattern with common sense it just doesn't work like that !!
Trump is an incompetent buffoon. He didn't need any help in screwing up. But he did manage to line his pockets and those of his friends and family, so he's got that going for him.
Also, the idea that the party that is so inept that their legislative priorities are now on hold because an 82-year old needs hip surgery (not to mention a certain senator from California who probably doesn't even know who she is anymore) is somehow following a grand plot to destroy the country is laughable.

The cult literally HATES who they are.... this is messed up:
Typical liberal political correctness BS
The Independent State Legislature Theory
in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Posted
…That’s not what the independent state legislature doctrine is about.
The Constitution states that the states can set the time, place, and manner of federal elections but that the Congress may change the rules through law.
So to your point, states could pass laws saying that senators were selected by state legislatures, not through a direct vote of the people. That could be changed through Congressional action or a constitutional amendment (or the state legislature could change it themselves).
The US Congress can also set laws that create guardrails for elections and courts could review state laws to ensure they are constitutional.
Under the Independent State Legislature (ISL) Doctrine, states get to set the rules and those rules are not reviewable by the courts. Also, when state law and federal law conflict, it should always be resolved in favor of the state (essentially endorsing nullification).
This would allow states to do everything within their power to rig elections in favor of a particular party. The gerrymandered map that the Dems in NY tried to pass was thrown out by the courts. That can’t happen under ISL. In fact, the Dems would be incentivized to see if they could eliminate every GOP district. With no way for courts to challenge redistricting maps for things like compactness, they could draw a map that grabs a heavily blue area in NYC and connects that population to the Southern Tier.
The natural endgame for ISL is to create single party states where only the most extreme candidates can win. It would further fracture the country and erode the voice of the people.
It also has little to no basis in our history and is antithetical to the ideals of our Founding. Any jurist who actually believes in Originalism would reject ISL out of hand.
