Popular Post AXD Posted July 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2022 Quote Texas woman given traffic ticket says unborn child counts as second passenger Brandy Bottone, who is 34 weeks pregnant, pulled over by police for driving in high-occupancy vehicle lane for two or more people https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/jul/09/texas-woman-ticket-abortion-roe-v-wade interesting to see where this leads to. Is it a person or not? I wouldn’t be surprised to see pregnancy being used in tax returns as well 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Bannon now willing to testify publicly to JAN 6th committee after Trump waived privilege. Do these guys think the committee are stupid? No it won’t be public because Trump/Bannon want a public show, it’ll start private plus Bannon is just muddying the waters for his contempt charge trial up coming. Still laughing that Trump thinks he has privilege as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoelVilla Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Thought for a while now that it will be Trump versus Gavin Newsom next time regardless of what Hunter Biden did or didn't do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did think a lot of the photos don't even look like him tbh and am also aware of how easy it is to create stuff like that nowadays. There will be a lot of people who believe it though.

I'd not heard of Newsom before, looking him up he looks progressive and a good CV. Is he the real deal? Like you I thought there was always little chance of Biden standing for a second term and his main use was merely to stop Trump staying in. I'm not sure it would work a second time so they need a strong candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he isn't scared to go after the Republicans which I think some Democrats have been in the last few years. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/07/03/opinions/newsom-desantis-2024-campaign-ad-obeidallah/index.html Quote California's Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom marked the July Fourth holiday by unveiling a campaign ad set to air on Fox News in which he speaks about freedom, amid images of skyrocketing fireworks and the Statue of Liberty, with strains of "America the Beautiful" softly strumming on the guitar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Bolsonaro gets the boot in October, I can see why he’s scrambling for cheaper oil. Although historically the mid-terms are not good for the ruling party, the recent Supreme Court rulings have activated a lot of democratic activism. for 18 months people have been talking about the Dems losing the house and senate. Let's actually see where we are in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I agree, it think it’s more finely balanced than normal circumstances given that both sides have a cause or two to get behind and turn out to vote. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marka Ragnos Posted July 15, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 15, 2022 Where are you? This is one that kind of irritates me because there's nothing about organised labour, but still, it's kind of fun if you're thinking about American politics: "Take our quiz to find out which one of our nine political typology groups is your best match, compared with a nationally representative survey of more than 10,000 U.S. adults by Pew Research Center. You may find some of these questions are difficult to answer. That’s OK. In those cases, pick the answer that comes closest to your view, even if it isn’t exactly right."
