"I'd totally murder people, but that evil federal government would lock me up for murder? Can you believe the audacity?!!! I really want to murder these people, but they won't let me. Total government overreach! Whatever happened to states' rights?"

In the DC case Trump's lawyers are arguing that he can't be criminally charged unless he's impeached and removed first.

In the Georgia case, Trump's lawyers are claiming that he can't be charged because he was already impeached for that action and that's double jeopardy.

Ignore for the second that the Georgia crime is not what he was impeached for. Trump's lawyers are arguing that you can't charge a President unless you impeach him, but also impeaching him means that you can't charge the President.

That's okay. They can still sing "Born in the USA" because that song is super-patriotic and not critical of America at all.

Oh, wait....

And this woman also WANTS to have the baby. She and her husband were trying to get pregnant. Unfortunately, the fetus has abnormalities that mean it won't survive. Without an abortion, she will need to wait until she hits term, have a C Section, and then have a dead baby.

Oh, and thanks to her medical history, she'll likely be unable to have another pregnancy after that C-section. So it's either give birth to a dead baby now and have no more or have an abortion now and (after she recovers) try to have another baby. Only one of these options might result in a baby that's alive and it's the option that includes abortion.

But Paxton will scream about how he's "protecting the unborn baby" without caring that the fetus has a nearly zero chance of survival and without caring that the woman faces potential severe (possibly life threatening) medical complications if she's forced to continue the pregnancy. He'll force women to carry pregnancies to term even if it kills them!

All too often, the police act like wannabe Rambos - charging in with guns drawn, willing to shoot or kill any suspects in their way. The ONE time that this might have been welcomed and they decided to sit on the side and do nothing. Okay, maybe not nothing. They harassed parents who were screaming about their kids being killed.

Why didn't Greene walk out there to ask those people to leave? After all, if they were just patriotic Republican tourists, then they would have listened to her, right?

Oh, what's that? They were violent insurrectionists and she was hiding from them too? But she somehow thinks that the Democrats should have yelled "Democratic Avengers Assemble" and charged out there? (And now I'm picturing Bernie wielding Thor's hammer.)

For all the "Hunter Biden" cries, the right sure doesn't care that Ivanka got a lot of money from China (copyright deals that were held up until her father became President) or that Jared got billions from the Saudis for a job he had never done.

When Trump children use their father's position to make money, the right says they are just being "smart business folks." If Hunter Biden so much as sells a glass of lemonade, the Republicans want a Congressional investigation to see if Joe was involved in any way.

The biggest thing that I can see that needs to be done would be shutting down "news" organizations like FOX News, OAN, and Newsmax. Also, breaking up online movements like Q where blatant misinformation is spread as if it's proven truth.

Now, HOW you do that without massive first amendment violations, I don't know. You would also need to be careful how it's structured because that could easily be used to shut down anyone left of center should a Republicans take the presidency/control Congress.

"We're going to refuse to work with Democrats or give them anything they'd like. We're going to cut a deal with them and then toss it aside at the first opportunity to appease our most radical members. We're going to open an impeachment inquiry into the Democratic President with zero evidence based on the fact that our most radical members want him impeached as revenge for Trump being impeached. McCarthy will go on TV and blame the Democrats for the continuing resolution almost failing when all but 1 Democrats voted for it and 90 Republicans voted against it. Now, why won't the Democrats work with us to keep McCarthy in power?!!!"

Exactly. The path forward is clear. Work with moderate Democrats to craft a bipartisan spending bill that most Democrats and Republicans can agree upon. Well either side get everything it wants? No, but that's how compromise works.

Of course the Freedom Caucus will be angry, but let's face it - they're always angry. (Hulk Smash makes for a good movie, but not for good politics.) If McCarthy works with Democrats and the saner Republicans, though, the power of the Freedom Caucus will be blunted. They can file to remove McCarthy all they like, but part of the deal with the Democrats could be that they'll vote to keep McCarthy.

Instead, McCarthy will complain while hoping that the Freedom Caucus members suddenly become reasonable.

“The doctor’s judgment of non-viable was likely correct, but sometimes you hear that physicians give a horrible report and then it turns out expectedly better, so there’s always that risk,” Olsen said. “The doctor needs to do all he can to preserve the life of both of them.”

So this politician is second guessing the doctor because "it might have turned out that the doctor was wrong." In other words, doctors' expertise and judgement means nothing if someone with no medical training at all is able to say "but maybe everything will be fine."

As horrible as it is, I don't blame the doctors and hospitals for being scared to perform abortions under these laws. They're tailored to give the appearance of having "life of the mother" exceptions while allowing every case to be second guessed by anyone with zero medical expertise. And if a judge sides with the zero medical expertise individual, then the hospital/doctor could be on the hook for huge fines or even prison time.

All while women suffer and die because life saving treatment is being denied thanks to "we need to think of the fetus' potential life more than the woman's life."

There's no evidence that it happened due to racism... As long as you ignore every single fact about what happened there and the mountains of evidence showing that it was based on racism.
