I know Trump has historically been pro-IVF but I wonder if his sudden proposal (in addition to fighting the woman hater IVF ban nonsense) and "we want babies in this country" comments is influence from Elon (who warns against the threat of population collapse).
Probably not but the possibility came to mind.

Edit: Remember, the funniest option is most likely to be true!

Wonder why Zuck is admitting this now. Maybe he's really worried Blonald Blumph will get in and investigate his anti-American shenanigans.

Did you expect anything less? They're still Democrats who hate America and the West. They aren't going to help Trump get elected just because they're mad over less access.

Theory.

Watch Bezos immediate reaction after the assasination. For Zuck and Bezos Trump is part of their billionaire caste. He may be on the outs but he is still brahmin. The myth of America is those things dont happen here. The myth was shattered. That could have been them if they stepped out of line now. The rubicon had been crossed.

What myth wasnt shattered with his reaction. He acted like a brahmin with fist raised high, proving that the billionaires were better people by deed and act.

Add Kamals policy proposals for capital gains. Fink will be protected but they will 100 percent take Zuck to pound town with that.

My guess is that something in Harris' platform has zuck a little bit mad. If i had to guess, its her plan on taxing unrealized gains. The last time a government tried to hit the zuckster up for more meta money, Zuck told them what to suck. That was when the Trudeau government wanted FB/meta to pay for others to post Canadian news links, and Zuck just blocked Canadian news sites and news content for Canadian users.
We know zuckerberg and meta's board has a lot of unrealized gains, so would it really be a suprise they would sour to Harris wanting to raid their pockets on the unrealized gains they hold? So what better way to give them the middle finger than to just put it out there that thwy were censoring pieces of shits right before the election? The twitter files released a few years ago already revealed this to be going on anyways on twitter's end, and zuckerberg just confirmed what everybody else pretty much already suspected was going on with FB's side, and hurt kamala's chances a bit.

In other words, don't fuck with a billionaire's money.

I think it's possible this is where Trump's mind is right now ... While I don't think it's wrong, per se, I do think that there's a lot more to discuss in regards to IVF in general.

In general, I am pro-IVF, but it is a much more complicated topic than just "more babies!"

I'm all in favor of IVF for moms and dads who can't conceive any other way but really want a family. They should be given that chance. However, it shouldn't be abused to the point where there are test tube babies being created and destroyed. That's where a lot of people have issues with IVF. There's also the whole topic of surrogacy and selling babies that justifiably does not sit well with many people (no, I don't think that the alphabet people should have children-- sorry not sorry).

Some friends of my husband and I recently had their first baby through IVF (after many, many years of trying to have a baby). They told us a lot of the details about the entire process over it. I didn't know this before, but there actually are health insurance companies who only pay for IVF one baby at a time (which is by far the most ethical way to approach it if you ask me). I understand how this can make a lot of future parents impatient about the whole process ... But once again: I don't support creating a bunch of test tube babies just for them to be discarded and destroyed.

So, yeah, I'm not going to look at someone who opposes IVF and call them nuts for it. There ARE good reasons to not support it, and none of those good reasons include "conceive naturally or don't have children! Tough shit for you!" There are definitely ethical lines that have been crossed with IVF.

Nobody said anything about AOC's grotesque border photoshoot either. Whatever you feel about the whole situation those photos showed how completely soulless she is, infinitely worse than the cringey 'candid' photos of wealthy politicians pretending to be regular people. I genuinely thought she fucked her career with those photos but it seemed to do the opposite, clearly I gave progs way too much credit.

Biden used video taken inside Arlington in a campaign ad in 2020 too

I watched the CNN interview.

YIKES. Kamala has no chance in hell in the upcoming debate. She looks terrible in an interview that was edited down to under 20 minutes to make her look "good." I really don't think I'm overexaggerating when I say this: This is the Biden-level meltdown that we saw in all of his post-debate interviews. Holy shit!

Even if ABC mutes Trump's microphone for the entirety of the debate, she's still screwed. She can't speak.

Mark my words: she's going to try to weasel out of the debate after this. She's got no other options after this huge blunder of an interview.

She's in a no-win situation though. If she weasels out of the debate, then she looks like the coward. But at the same time, if she attends the debate, she's going to get proverbially murdered by Trump. She's so screwed (and NOT in the way that she's typically used to). Right now, the Harris campaign is currently weighing their options on which outcome will do the least damage in regards to the debate for them.

She has to do it. Cumala handlers are STILL trying to change to rules.

Trump handlers probably realizes now holding Trump down is GREAT move because it makes the debate ABOUT THE OPPONENT. If Trump overpowers her, the debate becomes Trump. And once again, overshadows the weakness of cumala.

"Why haven't you done anything in 4 years" is the softball version of that question, and she had no answer. That was CNN warning her "you are weak here and Trump is going to knife you in the gut over this in the debate"... and she had nothing. Even an idiot like me recognizes that's a huge problem for her. She HAS to have been prepping for it. And it has to be something more than her just going "that was the Biden admin, I'm Kamala."

I hope some Democrat voters watching this interview realize how fuck they are for having chosen Kamala.

Some men are addicted to drugs. Dems are addicted to teleprompters. It's both weird and sad at the same time.

Given how swimmingly the last debate went for Trump, I'm all in favor of the moderators being able to mute his mic. I honestly believe that worked in Trump's favor ten fold.

I love Trump's shit talking, don't get me wrong, but sometimes he needs to be quiet so that his opponents can hang themselves with their own rope without interruptions. That is exactly what happened in his debate against Biden, and what will most likely happen with Kamala.

So the old oakland kam can't do a live interview, she had to not only take the Biden-Stephanopoulos "hour+ pre-recorded interview cut down to an 18 minute highlight reel", she needed BOTH walz to hold her hand AND an ear piece and the BEST they could do was make her look like an alchoholic version of 2020 biden. Trump is going to fucking Tulsi the shit out of her if she can't worm her way out of the debate.
