Starting to wonder if their advance staff hates them.

Extracting eggs for IVF is a tough process with lots of shots and medication. To maximize the chance of a successful pregnancy, you’re given meds to produce more than one egg during a menstrual cycle. My wife used to have a printed spreadsheet just to track all of the meds she needed. The eggs that are produced are combined with the partner’s ***** (dudes seriously have the easiest job in this process), frozen and stored until ready for transfer. Transfer is not always successful, so in the event that the embryo does not attach, there are hopefully other embryos ready for implant without needing another round of egg harvesting. That’s why they use the meds to create extra eggs. To accommodate for the potential of embryos not implanting, it is not uncommon for multiple embryos to be used in the transfer. If multiple embryos successfully attach, it can lead to a scenario where they endanger each other and the removal of one would ensure the safety of the other. This is an unfortunate reality of the IVF process. If the transfer is successful and leads to a healthy pregnancy and birth, there may still be embryos in storage. The couple can pay to keep them for a while in case they want more kids. Or they can donate them to science or have them destroyed. But ultimately, the successful process of IVF routinely results in embryos that will not be implanted. For those who believe that life begins at conception, this is a problem. They appear to believe that the life of the embryos we still have in storage is equal to the life of my son. I vehemently disagree. If embryos cannot be destroyed or used for science, then it’s hard to see how IVF would actually work.

Are you ok?

I imagine anyone who has had to go through IVF can relate to this

CAUTION: Dangerous levels of copium have recently been detected in this thread

Excellent speech by the GOP mayor of Mesa, AZ

Biden’s not dead, he was just busy sabotaging Trump’s plane

How long until we find out this was definitely deep state sabotage orchestrated by the Dems?

I'm beginning to think that Tommy Eyerolls here is a Communist considering how much he seems to like being publicly owned.

No, no, no, no, you completely misunderstand! Helping American business is bad when Democrats do it. It's only good when Republicans do it. Just like how deficits are disastrous when a Dem is president but totally fine and dandy when a Republican is president.

Democrats so disliked their party's choice for candidate that they put so much pressure on him and their representatives that the SITTING PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES quit the race. I cannot fathom how someone can watch that happen and then conclude that Dems don't dare to step out of line. They literally forced the President to quit a campaign. Absolutely unbelievable how you could reach the conclusion that you have.

I appreciate you proving my point. Thank you.

They don't know what communists actually are. They honestly believe that Dems are communists.

Looks like the whackos may be souring on Trump (though I believe Pool pulled a Rittenhouse and walked it back) Also, gotta love Rogan going for RFK Jr *after* the bear carcass story came out.

Slotkin's home in Michigan swatted as Senate race gears up "The office of U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin said she was targeted in a "swatting" hoax Thursday evening in which police were sent to her Holly Township home in response to a false crime report. Michigan State Police responded to Slotkin's home after a "false threat" that was emailed to a local elected official, though Slotkin was not home at the time, said Lynsey Mukomel, a spokeswoman for the Democratic congresswoman. State police troopers checked out the Slotkin property and confirmed no one was in danger, Mukomel said. "This is the latest in a disturbing trend of swatting incidents targeting members of Congress," Mukomel said. "Congresswoman Slotkin is deeply grateful for the swift and professional response by law enforcement to this unfortunate incident, and that U.S. Capitol Police will be following up to investigate and hopefully hold accountable those responsible.""

So let me see if I have this correct: Backing out of an already agreed upon debate and then changing your mind again when polling looks bad: Not scared Not immediately accepting every debate proposal without conditions from someone who has already gone back on a previously agreed up debate agreement: Scared Is that it?

Seems like he was scared to debate so he backed out. And then the polls kept getting worse so then he became scared not doing it would hurt him so he bucked up some courage and agreed to the thing he had already agreed to before backing out. Then he did his grandpa ranty routine from his own home with hand picked reporters to make him seem tough to the gullible crowd.

I'm old enough to remember when Trump pulled out of the debate.

Trump pulled out of the debate the second he realized she posed a problem for him and only ended up going back to the original agreement when it became clear that not doing the debate would probably be worse for him than actually doing it. If he wasn't scared, he would have never backed out. He would have just said "I'm going to be there and whoever is the Dem nominee at that point can debate me." He didn't because he's scared. Trying to spin someone backing out of a debate as the other person being the one who is scared is quite the take. I'm guessing he's also probably fairly tired since he's barely doing any campaign events. Maybe he needs a good nap.

She wasn't even running for president 20 days ago. Since then, she's had to take over a political campaign organization, secure support within the party, do a bunch of rallies, and pick a VP. Gotta think that a sit down interview with the press hasn't been at the top of her list. I would prefer she do a substantive interview before the convention but her polling numbers have basically only gone up. So what she's doing seems to be working anyway.

Guess that’s why he capitulated

The art of the deal
