Trump should have just added he will make federal law every abortion ban law needs to be passed in referendum with 50% of the vote. Even in Florida pro abortion Bill got 56% and the only reason it didn't pass is because they needed 60% . Every single pro abortion bill passed including those that are basically killing babies at birth,with flying colours in even red states and every anti abortion failed on referendums the lowest i seen for pro abortion bills i seen is 56% correct me if i am wrong. People genuinely want abortion legal and conservatives need to make peace with it just like dems need to make peace with the fact people want to say nigger and have guns. It's that simple.
This is incorrect, South Dakota and Nebraska both voted against abortion by 50%+ margins in 2024, with SD's being bigger than NB's. In general I think Trump's entirely 'leave it to the states' approach is the right one, let the state-level Republican parties figure out what the most realistic cutoff dates for abortion that can be passed at their level are - of course that's going to be different between SD and say, PA - and roll with that. No need for the federal gov't to get involved in any capacity and that includes telling states what their threshold for pass/fail should be (in FL's case the 60% threshold covers all constitutional amendments in general and not just abortion-related ones, IIRC a weed-related amendment also fell short of the 60% mark alongside the abortion one for example), in fact that would completely run counter to the 'this is strictly a state level issue with no room for federal meddling' position Trump ran on and which is broadly acceptable to all factions of the Republican coalition (including the pro-life faction, even their loudest & most hardline activists like Lila Rose ended up falling in line behind Trump by Election Day).
Anthemius, sent over as Emperor from the Eastern Empire, working together with Ricimer (Romanized Germanic Prince) and Emperor Leo, was the likely last real grasp, which ended when their fleet sent to invade North Africa was first caught in a storm then destroyed by the Vandals. After that the ERE used up its last free resources to help the West and the WRE, limited to Italy, was basically doomed.
Majorian himself only became vulnerable enough for Ricimer & the Senate to kill him because Gaiseric, the King Nigger of the Vandals who would also defeat Anthemius/Ricimer & Basiliscus, destroyed his fleet at Cartagena after bribing many of the Roman captains to switch sides. I think the WRE would've been better off if he'd just succeeded there, while Anthemius stayed in the ERE and became Emperor there either after or even replacing Leo I (who was OK I guess, had a mixed record, probably the best thing he did was eliminate their Ricimer equivalent in Aspar before Aspar whacked him and destabilized the East).
 
She's gonna do it!

Hotchal is going to use a power that she has as governor that has never been used before to remove Eric Adams as mayor of New York.

He's cooperating with Trump so he must go! She will torch the mayor of NYC rather then see him work with the Trump Administration.

Awesome, I can't get enough of this shit. The Democrats have lost any and all sense normalcy they are a like a dying animal striking out at anything and everything.


 
So, I will have a probably unpopular opinion.

I want Trump to be able to run for a third term. I want him to keep running until he either dies in office e or resigns mid-term because he feels he has done enough. This would provide ample time to secure MAGA as an ongoing movement -and- allow his successor a while in office to prove themselves while also creating an incumbent advantage.

Nah the two terms is a good rule.

Breaking the uniparty/deep state or what ever the fuck you wanna call it is good enough.

The left woke mind virus existed because it had goverment money backing it, they built capacity to influnce other countries and then applied to its own people.

My take away from the culture war, is that it doesnt work. The people doing it were doing it for a pay check cut the money and support just fucking vanishes

Maga shouldnt be an ongoing movement. the sledging of the deep state, removal of illegals, and disbanding of gov organizations that produce results looking at you D.O.E. should be enough.

Kathy Hochul is brave to be putting herself in the crossfire line considering all the skeletons she has. If Republicans are serious about winning 2028 they’ll begin cutting down democrat darling candidates lining themselves up to be the next Kamala. I don’t agree with James Carville on anything usually but he’s right in the sense that performative resistance without impact will crater the democrat campaign futures. Lots of bad things will come out about those stupid enough to stand up to the wrecking ball that is the deregulatory auditing republicans.

I mean, he is pretty corrupt. They have him dead-to-rights on the Turkey thing. The Feds have like a 98% conviction rate so it's a safe bet they didn't indict the Mayor of NYC without having a slam dunk case.

Anthemius, Leo, and Ricimer had the right idea. If the WRE had any chance of every recovering, it would start in North Africa, the breadbasket and economic lynchpin of the Western Empire, and the loss of the fleet off Cape Bon meant the end of any real offensive operations, or help from the Eastern Empire

I don't disagree and neither would Majorian, as said he died because of a failed attempt to reconquer Africa right before Anthemius' ill-fated run. But the best thing overall would've been for the WRE to have never lost Africa in the first place, and for that to have changed you'd need to go all the way back to Stilicho's day, for the Crossing of the Rhine never happened. Alas, if only the ERE hadn't distracted him from the Rhenish frontier with their bullshit right when the Vandals & allies were trying to cross, or even if that still happened but the Alans were too late to save Gaiseric & his people at the Vandal-Frankish battle beyond the Rhine where the latter's father had died...

Kathy is close to China which will beat out the negative press over Turkey. My understanding of what Eric Adam’s allowed Turkroaches to do is be favored in construction contract bids, have less city restrictions on healthy/safety/fire, etc.

MAGA is a short-term immediate success but what it is doing can be undone in the future if Democrats control the government once more. Barriers that have been put up can be pulled down and agencies that have been trimmed can become fat again. Unless anything drastically changes the policy "Make America Great Again" advocates for as a movement requires a great amount of vigilance and effort to maintain. There is only so much it can do as a political "burst" in the grand scheme of things.

I wonder, how popular is Adams there now? Does NYC take kindly to the governor removing one of their own?

The governor being corrupt doesn't make it OK that the mayor is corrupt too. They don't cancel each other out.

So who is the MAGA's boogieman?

is it

1) trannys?
2) The jews
3) Niggers
4) illegals
5) Russians
6) THE DUTCH
7) Unelected bureaucrats

or is it illegal tranny jew niggers from holland?

I m gonna say its the unelected bureaucrats that tried to dom him. The weaponized Justice Department and the good old DC insiders network.

Trump smashing them by cutting off the money and exposing them does deliver a win. The people Tulsi, Kennedy and others are using his mandate to reform or kill the very agencies they are in charge of.

It would be hard for a democrat to recreate these institutions once their momentum is killed.

Just like if we tried to do covid 2 electric boogaloo no one is gonna do shit.

After the Maga's do their purge it needs to evolve into the next stage and let younger politicians provide leadership

Also I miss murdoch murdoch what would they say?

To a point yes, but not as easy as you think. It took 75+ years of frog boiling to get this bad. If you set them back 50 years and they try to rebuild it all in a few years the "nothing to see here crazy conspiracy theorist" frog boiling strategy doesn't work and you end up with a reaction against them. The way they seized power initially was incrementally and by gaslighting everyone at each increment that nothing really changed at all and even if it did it was so minor that it doesn't really matter and you are a kook for thinking it does.

Not to mention that some things just can't be put back together again. If Trump were to leave NATO and someone come back into power in 4-8-12 years and rejoins even if they succeed the damage is done. If NATO (or any other instruments of the blob) go from being permanent fixtures of uniparty domination of American life to lurching back and forth between death and rebirth every 4-8 year political cycle then they are essentially dead even when they are "alive" in the interim. Either way it's better to make the enemy keep fighting to retake the same ground again and again and again rather than giving him the initiative to expand at his time and choice.
 
The Dutch were defective Germans that got pushed to the lowlands where they were supposed to drown, but some alien or time traveller thought it would be funny to teach them to build dams
