<I> Asked about abortion, he’s clear.


“I’m very pro-choice,” Trump says. “I hate the concept of abortion. I hate it. I hate everything it stands for. I cringe when I listen to people debating the subject. But you still — I just believe in choice.”</I>


And he still did more for the pro-life movement than any other President in history.


Because it's what you do, not what you say you believe, that matters.


Now, he's also done a lot for sane and honest members of the "pro-choice" / pro-abortion side, too.


because now you can stop lying about Roe / Casey, and engage in honest discussion.


And now that you have to actually convince your neighbors, rather than rely on SCTUS to bully them into irrelevance, you have a chance to start talking and acting in a sane and honest manner.


65% of Americans believe that States should be able to outlaw abortion starting in the 2nd trimester.  Which means that 65% of Americans think that the law being fought over in Dobbs is a perfectly reasonable one.


So, you can be abotion absolutists, and lose in almost every State, or you can engage in reasonable compromise, and win


Your choice

Stealing the 2020 Presidential election

 1: No honest vote counter blocks poll watchers from doing their job. 2: It is a generally accepted rule in international elections monitoring that "blocked poll watchers" == "fraudulent election outcome."  See: Uganda, Jan 2021. 3: I know that Detroit, Philly, Atlanta, are are on clear public record as having blocked Trump campaign poll watchers.  Those right there are enough to flip the election 4: Therefore any claim that "of course the election was honest and fair, and anyone who claims otherwise is a nut" is a statement utterly lacking in principle or value, and to make that claim is to self identify as a nut. 5: http://wkow.com/2020/11/13/concerns-over-indefinitely-confined-voting-law-as-thousands-use-the-option-due-to-covid-19/ In 2016 there were ~60k "indefinitely confined" absentee voters in WI (IC voters can vote absentee without providing State issued photo ID.  All others have to provide it, and thus prove they're actual real peop...

Why Cuomo belongs in jail

 I posted this over here , in response to the post  and this argument: If Cuomo broke positive law by retaliating against women who had lodged complaints about his behavior, then those retaliation-related allegations (if true) could supply a good basis for impeachment. The COVID19 allegations are entirely different. If Cuomo chose poorly (as we now understand it) in sending elderly patients with COVID19 into nursing homes, but did so acting on the information before him and for disinterested ends (i.e., in the narrow sense of not taking any bribes), then that is a reason for voters (if they so choose) to boot him out of office, but not for the legislature to impeach. Otherwise, you are converting impeachment into an ongoing legislative vote of no confidence. As my comment still hasn't escaped moderation, I'm posting it here: "If Cuomo chose poorly (as we now understand it) in sending elderly patients with COVID19 into nursing homes, but did so acting on the information bef...

CDC justification for new masking rules is total trash

 Thank you Instapundit The CDC's study says In July 2021, following multiple large public events in a Barnstable County, Massachusetts, town, 469 COVID-19 cases were identified among Massachusetts residents who had traveled to the town during July 3–17; 346 (74%) occurred in fully vaccinated persons. Testing identified the Delta variant in 90% of specimens from 133 patients. Cycle threshold values were similar among specimens from patients who were fully vaccinated and those who were not. So, let's lay some groundwork (thank you Twitchy ): Town population less than 3,000 County population about 220,000 40,000 people show up for "Bear Week", a week of gay celebration for people, many of who just spent the week before "Pride partying" in NYC One of the more popular bars "resembles a kind of dank dungeon where sweat drips from the ceiling and mold reaches up the walls" A large number of the people there are going for the sex.  Note: gay men having se...
