How would tRump enforce a nationwide ban on abortion in the state of California?

Provide your scenario.

He can't. California female liberals are obsessed with k9lling babies.

Upon further review, my previous comment has been overturned.

It was recently posted here that Russia may win in Ukraine if we don't send another 60 billion dollars and, if they win in Ukraine, NATO countries are next. Using this brilliant liberal logic, I have deduced that California is likely next and Russia will enforce an abortion ban with Trump as governor.


Putin's abortion ban will also amend the time an abortion is allowed, 0-1000 months, and the people allowed to make any abortion decision to include him.

If tRump selects Tulsi Gabbard then it will be the All Russian Asset Ticket.*


*…and if tRump lays a hand on her she will throat punch him.

The quote is verbatim.



But also 100% accurate.

I think Biden said it best, "....you know the thing".
We could compare these two (refraining from a name here) forever and yet we don't figure out how to get better choices. We don't hear a united outrage over this horrible system we seemingly have no control over in a democracy. I'll sleep better knowing that I didn't vote for either of these two.

The outrage at the system is there for the taking, but you don't join in on it. In 2016, 69 year old Hillary Clinton received the most votes to be President. If she won a 2nd term, she would be finishing her Presidency this year at 77 (Trump's current age and Biden's age when he was first elected). Of course, with Trump defeated in 2016, the Republican Party would have had the opportunity to run a younger candidate in 2020. The Democratic Party would not be turning to Biden now - Biden being the 2020 candidate of getting old people votes in the Rust Belt to counter old man Trump, who was installed by the Electoral College and not by the voters of America. Once again, the Electoral College is a big part of our electoral dysfunction.

Another part of our electoral dysfunction is not making it easier for young people to vote with automatic voter registration and easy college registration. The U.S. median age is 38.2 years. Electorally disadvantaged California is 37.3. Also electorally disadvantaged Texas is the youngest state in the nation at 35.2. How does Texas respond to having a young demographic? According to analysis from the Texas Tribune, Texas is the hardest state for voting and has among the lowest voter turnout.

Getting younger candidates is simple. Make it easier to vote and get rid of the Electoral College. But I think you would prefer Biden v. Trump to that infusion of democracy.

This is a good, thought provoking post. I've got too many thoughts rattling around my old brain to write a coherent response. Trust me, I've deleted a few attempts already. You'd hear them all if you were sitting across from me at Chick's donuts in Concord on a Saturday morning. My poor friends...

Maybe these posts have thrown out some good karmic vibes. CNBC just had on, for the first time, the candidate I feel is, BY FAR, the best for this country at this time...Dean Phillips. And it's not even close. He's a current democrat congressman but isn't afraid to call out Biden, his party and Trump. I've only voted for one democrat and it was only because of Trump. But I'd vote for this guy over anyone right now. It's incredible he's getting squashed in the amount of coverage he's getting. I'm starting my groundswell campaign for him here on BI. And please (not you Dajo) don't throw in my face my failed Ramaswamy push. He went off the cliff early with me and I said as much. Phillips at least has a reasonable business background and impressive political background. I can't believe folks aren't falling over themselves for this guy given ANY of our other choices, on both sides.

It would be extremely unusual for a sitting President to be replaced by their party before a 2nd term. I'm not even sure it's ever happened before.

It's been that way for the GOP since Nixon. You just weren't paying attention, or you're a Republican and didn't care until it became embarrassing.

Dean Philips is a random dude. He's like every football fan's favorite player: the backup QB who has never taken a snap.

We have no idea if Dean Philips would be a good president. A lot of progressives thought Andrew Yang was a great alternative and a lot of conservatives thought Vivek was a good alternative.

These people haven't been tested in a competitive campaign. The reason Dean Philips has no supporters isn't because the DNC is holding him back, it's because the vast majority of democrats are aware that it's going to be Trump vs Biden and that a random guy has no chance of winning.

Dean Phillips has been in Congress for 6 years. And so he has business and political experiences. Look him up. He's got a great reputation in the Congress.

I haven't paid much attention to politics. And I'm glad you only called me a Republican but I'd suggest you refrain from name calling as your primary message on this forum. It doesn't seem to be an optimum method for getting your points across. You should know that being a teacher.

I'm not one to deny folks their opinion. It doesn't keep me from shaping my opinions of their judgement, which I keep to myself. My neuropsychologist friend thinks Biden is still a fully functional adult. It clouded my view on his opinion that I should never drive after my seizure. I'm legally driving again.
I will say it will certainly be entertaining if Trump or Biden is our president again.

Sorry but he's not a party leader, he's a random third term congressman who has not distinguished himself in any way. Can you name any legislation he's sponsored? Or meaningful committee assignments? What impact has he had in congress? As for business, he runs his family's business (that was successful before he joined). So he's not exactly self-made.

There are dozens of random "impressive" people like him in congress and none of them would beat an incumbent for the presidency either. Biden isn't impressive but he's proven that he can get a team in place that can get stuff done. He's achieved more during his term than just about anyone expected and his biggest problem is that he remains a gaffe machine, and an older version of what he's always been. He's restored some of the luster that we lost internationally under Trump and history will rate him favorably. You don't take a guy like that and replace him with a random third-term congressman. That plus people will eventually find out Philips is jewish (when the GOP starts attacking him for being a (((globalist))) and we all know that our candidates still have to pretend to be Christian to make it to the white house.

I'd love for random impressive people to run and call out the two buffoons that are seemingly our only choices. But this guy is the only guy who's got the balls to try. We might as well have a cardboard cutout of Biden if he gets elected and wonder just who is making the decisions. At least with Feinstein we could see the person next to her telling her to vote 'yes'.

We might as well have a cardboard cutout of Biden if he gets elected and wonder just who is making the decisions. At least with Feinstein we could see the person next to her telling her to vote 'yes'.
Sure, but those people would all lose too and rational people (like Newsom, Klobuchar, Duckworth, etc) all recognize this. I understand your frustration but most people who run for president have a reason to do so. Sometimes it's legitimate and sometimes it's not. I have no idea why Phillips is running, but it's not to become President in 2024. The generous side of me says it's because he wants to raise his profile to eventually become an important person who does things to help this country.

It's been that way for the GOP since Nixon. You just weren't paying attention, or you're a Republican and didn't care until it became embarrassing.


I haven't paid much attention to politics. And I'm glad you only called me a Republican but I'd suggest you refrain from name calling as your primary message on this forum. It doesn't seem to be an optimum method for getting your points across. You should know that being a teacher.


I only call people names whom I have determined are too dense to reason with. You have always been reasonable and self effacing, so I don't call you names. Interesting that you think being identified as "Republican" is name calling. I thought you self identified as a Reagan Republican.

Interesting. I only call people names that are too dense and angry to reason with, so I call very very few people names.

I'm an American.
I'm a Democrat.
I prefer Biden over Phillips.
Biden has had the best 1st term of any President in my adult life.


I'm not one to deny folks their opinion. It doesn't keep me from shaping my opinions of their judgement, which I keep to myself. My neuropsychologist friend thinks Biden is still a fully functional adult. It clouded my view on his opinion that I should never drive after my seizure. I'm legally driving again.
I will say it will certainly be entertaining if Trump or Biden is our president again.

Putin recently said that he wants Biden to win the Election…..which gives rise to my questions to the two sides of the same coin crew, you know, the MAGAS and the Anti Lib Populists:

1. Since you think Putin is a smart guy, a strong leader and a reasonable person, do you follow his learned recommendation and vote for Biden; or

2. Do you vote for tRump because Putin is a totalitarian, murderous thug with expansionist designs on the former Soviet Bloc countries and beyond and is an enemy of America so you are going to do the opposite of what he recommends?*

*And you are able to do this because you have mastered Doublethink and can have a simultaneous belief in the truth of two contradictory ideas.
* Or is this a situation where you are such a f@ucking moron that none of your beliefs stand up to critical analysis and you are just trolling and slinging sh@it.

There was a constant drip about the batsh&t crazy antics of Trump behind the scenes. This drip came from Trump's cabinet and people he hired to work most closely with him.

There has been virtually none of that during Biden's presidency. This is what some normalcy looks like. Biden continues to be a gaffe machine but the infighting but there are virtually no operational parallels between Biden's ship and the scandal-ridden prior administration. How many major cabinet members has Biden burned through in his 3+ years in office? 1. Trump had 14 during his tenure.

You can attribute it however you want to, but it's hard not to acknowledge that it speaks well for Biden's actual performance. Whether you like his policies is a completely different story but if any of the stuff the right wing outrage machine claims were true, you would be hearing about it. For example, if some person or group of people were pulling all the strings, you would have disgruntled out of favor officials providing a constant drip of material to the press in DC. The press eats this stuff up and would do anything they can to share it. That's what we saw during the Trump admin and we would see it here. Instead, the press relentlessly focuses on amplifying the right wing attacks on Biden's age and son.

I will definitely agree that Biden and his staff know how to keep information in house. I have no idea who makes the decisions for the guy who Roombas around the stage after a prewritten news conference. Now I really do feel better. I'll steal and paraphrase a line from Ocean's 11: it's nice to be run by proper politicians again.

In a genuflection to MAGA and Anti Lib Populists, I am reconsidering my position and may vote tRump. Why?

Because only the best people and organizations are getting shafted by our Radical Left judicial system!

Traitor Trump went on a racist bender tonight. Plenty of clips out there. The media probably won't cover it though. They are all in for pro rich people Traitor Trump. We have to be smarter than that, as a country.

Exclusive Dark Trump at CPAC: "Biden's fast track to hell"

https://www.axios.com/2024/02/24/trump-cpac-speech-excerpt

" Former President Trump, in a speech to conservatives this afternoon, will paint a dark, distorted picture of an America ravaged by crime, violence, bloodshed, chaos and tyranny, according to excerpts shared exclusively with Axios.

Crooked Joe and his henchmen have you trapped on an express train barreling toward ruin and servitude," Trump continues. "A vote for Trump is your ticket back to freedom. It's your passport out of tyranny. And it's your only escape from Joe Biden's fast track to hell."

The unprecedented success of the United States of America will be my ultimate and absolute revenge," Trump plans to say, in a reprise of a line he recently introduced."

When Trump landed in D.C. for CPAC, there were reports of paranormal wailing and screaming throughout the city.
