I think it was more like a literal handful of arizona gop state legislators realized how bad of a look not repealing this law would be for the state republicans up and down the ballot this year and took away a cudgel the state democratic party was going to hammer every republican on the ballot with.

you're going to get that when

a) western media and journalists are deathly afraid of being labeled antisemites for reporting on what the secular government of israel is doing and

b) cable news viewers skew overwhelmingly republican and conservative who are already antimuslim and pro israel to begin with.

these are the people who are keeping the current administration from telling it like it really is. because I honestly don't believe that bibi would be as empowered to do what he's been doing in gaza if the us government isn't actively publicly condemning in plain language what has happened already.

akshually...

scuttlebutt has been that the second the vote to vacate is triggered, 4 house republicans would immediately resign, putting democrats in the majority. there would be no more republicans in charge and we get a functional house with speaker hakeem jeffries for the next 8 months at least.

instead of threatening just do it already.

this is the problem with this republican party. they say they will do a whole bunch of shit and don't do any of it.

there's so much different I'd almost consider them related and not an adaptation.

if he actually is innocent, the absolutely best thing for him to do is to get them over with, then when he is acquited he can use his witch hunt and fake news talking points and gain votes.

pushing all of these trials and trying to bank on winning an election to get out of the majority of these charges (he can't get around georgia that easily) is a 1% strategy in my opinion. that's how I know he's guilty. his entire post indictment behavior is one of a guilty party. I don't really need to follow each case that closely to come to that conclusion. trump has telegraphed that he's guilty.

I'm just worried that someone in his cult might end up on one of the juries.

I'm convinced that everyone who is against abortion believes that all pregnancies never have complications. or are from loving supportive relationships. or are completely wrapped up in their own world they believe they have a right to have a say in everyone's business.

if anyone thinks this is acceptable behavior in any house of legislation, substitute what is happening here with an islamic call to prayer and prayer session.

did your opinion change? why is it okay that christians can do this and no one else?

this is a public political iq test.

we put into office a guy who held no elected office of any kind and look how that worked out. are you going to do that again and expect a better result?

a vote for west is a vote for trump.

these 3rd party runners have no realistic chance of winning the presidency and have a very real chance of sucking votes away from the only viable person who can beat trump.
