I guess Dwayne Johnson wants another tax break, since Biden didn't give him one, oh well.

Does this guy thinks he is in China or North Korea or what?"They support abortion up to and even beyond the ninth month," Trump said in a video posted on Truth Social. "The concept of having an abortion in the later months, and even execution after birth. That's exactly what it is — the baby is born, and the baby is executed after birth."
His second term will be a sight to behold (from far away, thankfully).
It’s certainly telling that it’s said by the front runner for the next election.Does this guy thinks he is in China or North Korea or what?
How can anyone take stuff like this seriously? Are his supporters really that stupid?"They support abortion up to and even beyond the ninth month," Trump said in a video posted on Truth Social.

Yes.How can anyone take stuff like this seriously? Are his supporters really that stupid?
Well, those are the same idiots who ingested bleach, ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine as meaningless ways to resist COVID.How can anyone take stuff like this seriously? Are his supporters really that stupid?

So, the Arizona supreme court is made up of insane people, going back to draconian laws from 1860s.
They think they can do this without any backlash? Thats fine, lets see how they and Arizona GOP feel, when they not only lose the senate race, but also the state legislature at the same time.
This a major gift to the democrats.
Of course its a major gift electorally, this may just have thrown away the state for republicans, on about every level.Well, how is a gift if in reality what it matters is what the laws are? Democrats might win all the candidates but if the judges have a lifetime job and they are right wing, is very difficult to change the law. Democrats: " new progressive law" . Supreme court: " Unconstitutional".
Sure, this is very positive, but I think mcconnell and trump damaged the system with the judges for decades. Just my pessimistic POV. If conservative laws keep pilling up and they are not possible to be changed, I don't think is good news. Maybe for the democrats that they will get the money of ruling US, but the US will still in a shitty situation, being less and less educated with bans on books and the likesOf course its a major gift electorally, this may just have thrown away the state for republicans, on about every level.
Also, abortion will likely be on the ballot directly, guess how the people will vote?
I doubt the courts can or will override all other branches, but even if they do, the legislature should just ignore them.
In terms of Arizona, guess who you can blame for this? None other than "moderate" Ducey, former governor.Sure, this is very positive, but I think mcconnell and trump damaged the system with the judges for decades. Just my pessimistic POV.

In the end, the Ds will be the old Rs and the Rs will be(they are) far-right wing. So the whole spectrum is pushed to the right
Thats good. I would never understand life time judge positionsIn terms of Arizona, guess who you can blame for this? None other than "moderate" Ducey, former governor.
He expanded the courts, and indeed, installed, i think two justices, who voted for this ban.
Just found out that Arizona supreme court are not lifetime positions, two of the judges that voted for civil war era laws, are up for re-election.

I think most, if not all, state supreme courts are elected for something like 10 year termsThats good. I would never understand life time judge positions
Thanks for the info. I assumed that were like SCOTUSI think most, if not all, state supreme courts are elected for something like 10 year terms
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_supreme_court - apparently how it works is dependent on the State - so I wasn't quite right in what I saidThanks for the info. I assumed that were like SCOTUS
If a party replaces its incumbent president, it will lose.A whole lot of focus on Trump. There would be absolutely no concerns for me if there were even a half decent Democratic candidate. Running Biden again, just hand the keys over. American democracy is dead.
Are polls really suggesting this though? And which ones, the partisan ones or the generally accepted high-quality polls?Polls still wants me to believe that young people are really stoked on the republican party these days, for some reason.
Party that has never given them anything, and is actively working to take away their rights, sure thing....
The consumer price index accelerated at a faster than expected pace in March, pushing inflation higher and likely keeping the Federal Reserve on hold with interest rates.
The CPI, a broad measure of goods and services costs across the economy, rose 0.4% for the month, putting the 12-month inflation rate at 3.5%, or 0.3 percentage point higher than in February, the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Wednesday. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for a 0.3% gain and a 3.4% year-over-year level.

I looked some more into this. It's all not really clear cut yet.Are polls really suggesting this though? And which ones, the partisan ones or the generally accepted high-quality polls?
https://www.politico.com/news/2024/04/07/voter-age-biden-trump-2024-election-00150923“Seems like we know how to poll white, middle-aged people really well,” said John Della Volpe, the director of polling for the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics and an expert on polling young voters. “But if they’re younger, older, Black, Hispanic — there seems to be no consensus about what’s the best practice these days.”
https://www.vox.com/2024-elections/24125496/young-voters-trump-biden-pollingTrump’s support may be overstated; just look at third-party support and his favorability. Polls specifically of young voters, like the Harvard Youth Poll, continue to show a large Biden advantage with younger voters (it was 11 points in December). They show that among the youth most likely to vote, Biden has an even bigger advantage (24 points).
In Quinnipiac’s survey, the results for young adults aged 18–34 gave Biden a 20-point advantage over Trump. Meanwhile, Fox’s survey showed that adults aged 18–29 backed Trump with an 18-point margin. This 38-point gap seems illogical, even if there are some discrepancies with the cohorts used in the surveys.
His supporters are the same idiots who give loads of money to evangelists like Joel Osteen and Kenneth Copeland, who are absolute charlatans. They are also the same sort of people who thought the rapture was coming after the eclipse.Does this guy thinks he is in China or North Korea or what?
https://www.wsj.com/politics/electi...oters-2024-election-3e12f57c?mod=hp_lead_pos7WSJ poll shows the issue is make-or-break for many of the swing-state voters who decided the last two elections and could again in 2024
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/13/us/politics/trump-biden-times-siena-poll.htmlThe president’s popularity has ticked up slightly, though voters still view Donald J. Trump more favorably and have dour views of the economy.
