Obama (always craving attention) calls out obscene coverage submersible got vs a migrant ship sinking

Agree with every point, but Abortion. It's a massive issue for independent, college educated women.

Trump can get 40% of the vote with his eyes closed. He will likely crush everyone in the primaries. Any reasonable person would agree with this.

The question is how does Trump expand beyond his base. My daughters hate republicans because Abortion is a symbol to them of how the Republican party (esp. men) thinks they can make decisions better than the individual (women). Are they over-indexed on the issue? Perhaps, but they are not the minority here.

Think of all the elections and referendum already lost due to Abortion: Wisconsin Supreme Court, Michigan, Kansas, Georgia Senate, etc.

You know who gets this issue right? RFK Jr. If he was pro-life, watch his support go through the floor.

Winning primaries does not matter. Winning general elections do.
I wish all discussions could go like this one. We disagree...I respect your take. RFK from what I understand is a climate change nut? (I have not followed him yet, but can feel his support growing for sure)
 
Except you’d be surprised at how many dumb young women will be convinced that abortion is Issue #1. It’s the “don’t look over there at that huge fire look here instead” distraction and it works with the dumb and uneducated almost always.
Because social media, and MSM are FOCUSING on the ONLY card that the left has to play. It will never, EVER be enough...not with a criminal in the white house, and EVERYTHING measurable is WORSE. THAt is what matters. And do not believe that people are not starting to notice Brandons huge payoffs from ur enemies. Only the VERY DUMBEST refue that. (Yep...believe it or not...we have a few on this board)

What is important to you as a voter, may not be important to others. Trust that I hate some of the politicians voted in but it's their right.

I won't say they are on weak on violent crimes. I think both sides are tough on that. It's the non-violent crimes that they disagree with.

Disagree. When I arrest someone out on bond/probation from a violent crime and re-arrest them on a new violent crime, they are invariably from a Democratic controlled county/city.

The last one killed an innocent citizen while fleeing from police in their city. They were attempting to serve a warrant for Assault 1st (attempted murder).

We arrested him after a similar pursuit following a violent attack on his baby's momma in my JD. Fortunately no one was hurt when he wrecked out at a VERY high rate of speed.

Clearly he learned his lesson??? WTH was he doing out on bond? He's less than 21 and he has already racked up an impressive list of violent offenses.
 
As compared to what? The year prior? Certainly not as compared to long-term.
Police chiefs in these major cities run by democrats will say bs that violent crimes are way down for this reason. These left wing nut DA's are charging violent crimes on a much lower scale. You want lower numbers of felony assaults. Charge them as misdemeanors. That doesn't help the woman who loses an eye to what should be a felony now just a misdemeanor. These crime stats are bogus as to what is really going on what with the new classification of charges these Soros backed DA's are using.

But Mr. Obama, I don't hear you speak of the obscene coverage of ONE black man being killed by a white cop vs the slaughter of young black men in your Chicago every weekend with hardly a drop of media coverage. So Mr. Obama, until you go to Chicago and speak of that, please spare us the lesson on media coverage.

You think Obama craves attention? You must really think the trumpster is off the rails, cause it isn’t close.

I would place that blame more on DA's and state AG's than police chiefs but I agree with your point.

It's frustrating. Just looking at the one case I listed...

He plead guilty to Assault 1st (that means he caused serious and permanent harm to another with intent) and got almost no prison sentence followed by probation. Other states might refer to our charge of Assault 1st as Attempted Murder btw.

While out on probation, he violated and a probation warrant was signed on him. When the police served that warrant, he attempted to elude them in a vehicle and a person was killed in that pursuit. That's murder, of course.

So he goes to jail for a few months, attends a few hearings and is allowed to bond out on the probation violation and the new murder charge from the eluding. How? Who thought that was reasonable?

He later beats his baby's momma, attempts to elude from us and wrecks out once again. I don't believe that he'll get to bond out again before going to prison for a while this time but he won't remain in our custody for long as the other charges are from the jurisdiction I mentioned earlier so who knows for sure???

As we pulled him out of the wreckage from his latest crash, he screamed, "take it easy...I'm just a kid." The young man knows how to work the system, I'll grant him that.

The first POTUS not to leave DC after leaving office?

Interesting.
We have some pretty stupid people here. I guess people running for president and leading in their primary aren't supposed to get any attention while an ex president has to search the newspapers for something to open his trap about. Like I said, some very stupid people here.

It’s a Dem talking point. They have been claiming crime, especially violent crime is down and has been trending down for the last 20 years
Felonies can go dramatically down with a stroke of a pen. Classify them as misdemeanors. That's democrat crime reduction, on paper, NOT ON THE STREET. But I guess all the assault victims are happy to find out the crimes are ONLY misdemeanors.

Plus, you have Soros funded DA not prosecuting, so then once again, the DEMS do not count it as a crime.

LOLOLOL OF COURSE they are!! They are the people who ALWAYS pick the side of the criminal over the innocent victim. They CANNOT deny this. Look at THEIR looters that burn down their cities. Look at the rioters. Those people are NOT from our side.....

I can only imagine. It would definitely make me frustrated and deflated at times.

There is a tough decision between not allowing someone the right at bail, considering they wasn't convicted of a crime.

But there should be someway to protect the public better. I had a friend that was on probation and then committed murder, while on probation. Just stupid and senseless.

We have Aniah's Law now which does allow bail to be denied to violent offenders so there's no longer an excuse for the courts.

I agree - but let's remove "dumb". Rather, let's call it "emotional" buyers and voters. That is my wife and my youngest daughter (attending Stanford right now). Both have IQs well above 140.

On paper, they should, without question vote Republican - economy, immigration, crime, immigration, inflation, immigration, etc.

They see Abortion and it is both a policy and a symbol. It is about what (mostly) white men want to do with their bodies.

When you understand the symbolic value, their world view becomes clear and, to some extent, understandable. Who cares on inflation if you have a baby that you do not want, a father will not support, the state will not support, and your career and dreams are over. Make every religious or moral argument you want, this is how this is viewed and it is showing up, again, and again, and again, at the polls and in critical races.

Take abortion off of the table, and Republicans win in massive margins. And - if you think that Trump is TRULY pro-life, you are nuts. To his significant political credit, he was savvy enough to know that this was a way to get a hesistant part of the Republican base to support him. He would go back to being pro-choice as he wants no part of this discussion.

This does not matter ne single bit. What matters is that he place THREE conservative CONSTITUTIONALIST SC judges on the bench, and is 100% responsible for overturning a HORRIBLE ruling. (R vs W) Even old bag Bader admitted as much. You need to look at some polling......when it gets down to it...this ruling does not effect many people. Middle aged women do not have many abortions.

RBG said that it was under the wrong statue, she felt it should have been argued under equal protection and not privacy.

She 100% thought it was constitutional.

For the life of me, I don't understand single-issue voters. I don't understand how they can possibly funnel everything down to one issue. No offense intended to your wife and daughter but it's a childish view of the world.

I believe that abortion is about the most evil thing that we participate in on planet earth. However, I also don't believe that the government has any business being involved with abortion in any way, especially with regards to funding it but also in banning it.

At some point during pregnancy ALMOST everyone agrees it is murder. So, based on those cultural standards, putting some limit on it makes sense.

People who perform partial birth abortions should be convicted of murder. There is no doubt what they are doing and no debate to defend their actions.

She did not, she just didn't like the statue it was protected under at that time.

She critiqued the ruling based on its structure and stated that it was far too sweeping and that she didn't necessarily agree with the constitutionality of Roe.

She was clearly pro-abortion but from a scholarly legal standpoint, she disagreed with Roe. That's a pretty bold statement from a pro-abortion SC justice.

She wanted a different kind of case to afford abortion rights for women.

What's their answer to putting baby up for adoption?
Their view (which I agree with) is that until the baby is viable outside of the womb, the choice is the mothers. They should also have full access to the day after bill (which is getting restricted in many states, as well, which has nothing to do with abortion, per se).

They view six weeks as ridiculous. Many mothers do not know they are pregnant until 8 - 10 weeks.
Once they are pregnant and have had 2-4 weeks to process the information, they want to be able to abortion. That put you at about 14-15 weeks. Tops of 20 unless their a health issue, which is a joint decision between the mother (not "birthing person") and physician.

If the baby is viable after 20 weeks and if there is no health issue, then the baby needs to be brought to term. They agree with that.

They view adoption as something that indeed some mothers may choose to do and fully support it.

They also try to practice "safe sex" (my wife is getting close to menupause so her chances of getting pregnant are very low, and I have a vasectomy) but my daughters are in college which is not the epicenter of reasoned decision making. Things happen.

So, their view is pretty mainstream. The far left of the Democratic party wants abortion on demand.
