They're the mascot for confidently incorrect.

Are you voting for time travel so you can travel back to the 1940s, become supreme leader of Israel, and change the 70 years of Israeli domestic policy that has led us to this point?

Honestly I think they're just to pretend like that doesn't exist. I would be interested to hear their stance on it though.

There isn't a lot of self consistency with the conservative logic around abortion. Abortion is murder to them, but they drive by abortion clinics every day and do nothing. You'd think a building dedicated to murdering children would demand a stronger response.

Abortion is murder, but it's okay to murder the child if it wasn't conceived under the right conditions.

Abortion is murder, but we can leave it up to the states to decide when it's murder and when it's okay.

Just a lot of mental gymnastics.

They've backed themselves into an ideological corner.

For years the right has campaigned against abortion on the premise that "life begins at conception". Because of this stance IVF puts them into a tricky situation: continue to maintain their extreme view that life begins at conception and oppose IVF, or accept IVF and concede that life doesn't begin at conception.

If they accept IVF then that undermines their entire argument against abortion, which is obviously not a choice you make if your goal is to make all abortions illegal. So conservstives take the ridiculous stance that IVF embryos are babies, and since some embryos are lost during the IVF process, IVF must be murder.

That's very true, I should of said "from a civility standpoint it's an improvement".

Pretty much every Trump debate has been like this. This one was actually an improvement from 2020 and 2016 because his microphone was turned off so he wasn't able to just yell over the other person and constantly interrupt.

Newsome would have to resign as Governor and I'm not sure he wants to do that for a long shot presidential campaign.

Newsome polls very poorly against Trump and he also isn't very popular in his home state as Governor.

What is wrong with you? It's very clear that the issue that makes organizing in the Texas 33rd is the extreme gerrymandering. What question did you think you were answering when you confidently answered "the interenet"? Were you just saying random shit hoping no one would call you out on your bullshit?
