Abortion Right -- A game changer for November midterm elections?

 70% of Americans are pro-abortion, and yet in many places in the US, their opinion counts for nothing.  Well, it turns out that the slam dunk November midterm just took a massive hit.  There seem to be two reasons here:

(a) Majority of Americans are pro-abortion (within reasons and limits)

(b) The GOP thought that the issue was resolved and they could move even more aggressively to get their far-right agenda approved.

Well so far the game plan has been a disaster, and the ability of the GOP to retake the Senate seems to be a 50/50 proposition when it was considered a sure thing a few months ago.  What happened?

First, most Americans are pro-abortion, and the supreme court decision was partisan as opposed to legal.  A fact, that the GOP and the supreme court seemed happy to acknowledge 

Second, the GOP has been unable to promote non-Trump supporting candidates, and those they have pushed have generally been defeated.  The consequence is that the crazies are running the show, and ruining it too.  It goes from Oz (that TV guy) who is running one of the most incompetent and weak campaigns to one of the far-right extremists saying that the GOP election was tainted -- despite her massive loss, and rejecting her loss, which means that the GOP will not have a nominated candidate for weeks.

Third, the base got what it wanted.  The end of Roe Vs. Wade and therefore have lost interest

Forth, Trump was fatigued by the common elector.  I mean the bastard is still in the news every "fuc$ing day" he's like the Justin Beber of politics (very little to say).  

Finally, the GOP has attacked Biden's administration on the high inflation and the weak economy.  But Americans are not seeing a recession, jobs are still plentiful and wages are up.  they also know that inflation was high during Trump's last two years in power...they see the hypocrites for who they are.

The problem with social media is that it shows ALL the flaws, and Americans are seeing the GOP for what it really is, and what it wants the country to become.

Interesting times

The end of Tesla?

 it takes a special kind of idiot, to think that he can antagonize his entire customer base, and think that it will not impact his business. When Elon Musk went to work for Donald Trump, and created the doge department, he antagonized every liberal, and these people represent 90% of his client base.That’s not a brilliant move. Now Elon Musk is worth hundreds of billions of dollar, so he shouldn’t care a great deal, however, he needs to care because of several other issues. The cyber truck has been a disaster, most have had to be recalled because of defective glue, it’s not a truck, it’s not a car, it’s noisy, relatively uncomfortable, but great as a development platform. What Tesla has learned in making car manufacturing more seamless is truly amazing. The problem was that Elon Musk was so pissed with the Democrats, and with Joe Biden, in particular because of some slight, which were just plain stupid too. By the way, that he decided to support with hundreds of millions of dollar, ...

Donald Trump‘s bad bargain

 The entire of 2023 and 2024 when Donald Trump was running for the White House, his mantra was no war, that the Ukraine conflict would be resolved in a day, and that he would do everything not to involve America and war. How the world has changed! He finds himself facing three conflicts; Ukraine, still going on almost 5 months after he became president. Gaza, an unspeakable crime against humanity, is obviously going to go all the way to its bitter end. And finally, Israel’s attack against Iran. It’s important to note, that Benjamin Netanyahu first indicated at the United nation that the Iranian were 3 to 5 years away from having the nuclear bomb. He made that statement in 1995. Therefore, no one is surprised that he uses the same two lines every so often. It’s entirely possible, that 30 years after he first announced it, that Iran has finally developed the bomb. It’s also remarkable that Iran, local power has been destroyed, from Yemen, to Syria, via Lebanon and Gaza to small exten...

TACO again, but worst!

 Donald Trump got the rare earth metals that he had thrown away on April 2, liberation day as he called it. What did the Chinese get in exchange? The whole deal, is on the wrap right now. But let’s be clear. It’s the Chinese that have the upper hand.Some of the materials made by the Chinese, are simply unavailable anywhere else. suspicions are that the Chinese got the high-end chips that they lost under Biden. Tariffs will probably return to the level of April 1, and in the end Donald and his friends got nothing for it. It gets worse, Chinese exports to United States are down 40%. The Chinese have found new markets, I probably never gonna buy American grain again. Once again, Donald Trump proved he’s a great negotiator. He got absolutely nothing for his Showmanship. He told the world, that everyone would come and kiss his ass, instead they’re laughing At him. There’s no joke about Donald Trump, a 25 and inherited a huge fortune and proceeded to make it a small one. Bottom line, the...
