The RNC is dumping so much money on Trumps legal fees and expenses, that running an actual campaign becomes more and more impossible.
I dont remember the source right now, but I read that large parts of the RNC at the state-level are already practically bankrupt. If thats true, then we might have an even weaker GOP in the comming years.
Turns out if everyone is just grifting, you cant build anything in the long run. I hope their efforts are crippled for a very long time. At best they never recover.
US anti-abortion activists, including allies of Donald Trump, have a strategy to ban abortion nationwide - one that bypasses Congress and the American people. It’s a plan that hinges on Mr Trump’s re-election in November and the use of a little-known 19th Century law....
Anti-Abortion activists? Can we please start calling them what they really are?
Pro state-enforced birth and death if need by
They are also not pro-life, because no conservative cares for people other then themselves. And maybe their unhappy wifes and children, on a lucky day.
But when their family will be ruined by an unplanned child, they are the first in line to beg for what they routinely deny others in need. Its selfish, unjust and inhuman. So pro-life they kill you.
Laut dem Grünen Parlamentarier und Vorsitzenden des Kontrollgremiums der Geheimdienste, Konstantin von Notz, gebe es “seit vielen Jahren Desinformationskampagnen und andere Einflussnahmeversuche [von seiten Russlands]”....
Nicht nur von Seiten Russlands, sondern quasi allem was demokratiefeindlich ist.
Z.B auf Twitter (ehem. X) pfostieren Benutzer offen Nazi-Ideologie, die vom Plattform-Besitzer auch noch befeuert und verbreitet werden. Die Kommentare sehen entsprechend widerwärtig aus und geben ein gutes Bild davon ab was passiert, wenn Menschen keine (begründete) Angst mehr haben müssen, für ihre Rückständigkeit gebrandmarkt zu werden. Ein Klärbecken ist wirklich sauber dagegen.
Solange Plattformen nicht von Regierungen dazu angehalten werden hinter sich aufzuräumen, werden vor allem junge Nutzer früh mit Menschenfeindlichkeit indoktriniert und es dauert teilweise Ewigkeiten, diesen Schaden zu reparieren.
Deplattformieren von Rechten funktioniert und wir sollten tunlichst Gebrauch davon machen.
Wars devastate economies, and it’s crucial to recognize the complexity of the situation, including corruption within Ukraine and geopolitical factors at play. However, not aligning with Ukraine doesn’t automatically mean you’re a Russian bot
Just in case, I assume this opion is brought forth in good faith.
While you could might be correct on paper, the reality is that between “Helping prevent Genocide” and “Anything else” is much clearer.
Does that make you a russian bot? I would say yes, it does. Because there is no middle ground here, no “enlightend centrist”, towering over us plebs who care for human lives not being devastet.
Maybe the Ukrain Goverment has a problem with corruption, hell I agree it probably does. Every Government has to deal with this.
What not every Goverment has is an active Genocide waged against its people.
Having corruption does not excuse to allow Genocide. And stading idly by is doing just that!

Personal Comment on the matter and living through it all in Germany
This whole thing was a long ass nightmare…
A lot of conservative politicians and our far-right parties wantes this to be canned and instead asked for a more restrictive policy.
The CSU (Bavarias special version of the CDU) already founded a dedicated new ministery for “extremly restrictive interpretation of the new laws”. Thats how bad the f***ing right-wingers are about this progreasive approach! Im to tired to search for the source on that right now, if someone else could to that, I would greatly appreciate it.
Its still hard to believe. Even now it feels very surreal that, within a few days, the technically still existent damocles-sword of illegallity will be gone. This whole law was passed around, rewritten, ammended and changed so often, many thought it would never even pass within our lifetimes, if at all.
Even today, there was so much interest and tension in this thing, the streaming-server broadcasting the vote just cracked under the storm of viewers wanting to see how this would go down.
Thanks to all the people who tirelessly pushed for this. Your work made this happen and you deserve all the praise in the world for it. I hope we can archive more things like this in the comming future.
Usually we Germans are very hesitant to be proud of our country, for very obvious hystorical reasons. But I feel we can make an exception for this one.
Because Im proud of my country for once! Good job!
One approach that can work, if you can be confrontational: You counter their offensive with your own!
Often their vile behaviour stems from an underlying emotional damage, so all you have to do is to remind them of that damage. Make it personal. Make it hurt.
Here are some of my best lines I have used so far, best delivered in a dry tone that cements them as a fact. Leave no room for questions, because you are stating the obvious.
Assumption is the other person is a cis-het-male. There is also the danger or further escalation, See so beware!
Also in spoilers, because Im very mean and possible trigger-content!- I see why you are and stay single - No wonder women wont spend time with you - Why dont you put that in your dating-profile? - I see why she left you - At least Valentines Day is inexpensive for you - You parents must be proud of you - No wonder you sleep alone at night - You are lonely and it shows - At least you will never have to pay child support - Why should women like you? You dont even like yourself - Really? You are so weak - Im glad she left you - Your parents must be very proud of you - I see why the kids stopped talking to you - You are unlovable and its no ones fault but your own
Nazis die Plattform entziehen funktioniert und wir brauchen mehr davon.
Rechte wollen keine Diskussion und haben keine Fakten, also kriegen sie auch keine Bühne. Große Social-Media Konzerne lassen dieses Problem schon viel zu lange schleifen.
Bzw. im Fall von Twitter (früher X) hat der Besitzer selber die Alufolie auf dem Kopf. Das Ding verstößt täglich gegen etliche Gesetze, allein in Deutschland, und es wird Zeit, da rechtliche (und kostspielige) Konsequenzen folgen zu lassen.
Legislators in at least two U.S. states are citing a recent decision in England to restrict gender transitions for young people as support for their own related proposals....
All the evidence we have definitivly proofs, that gender affirming care for minors is reliable, safe and effective.
If anyone tells you otherwise, they just lie. And at this point, not knowing this basic fact is just an admission of ignorance at best. Because I can google that in 5 minutes and drown in research-findings, that are easy enough to read. Also this “issue” is so present in general media, not having heard of it is practically impossible.
I just wish news-outlets would start mentioning that fact in the headlines. This is not a debate, and never has been.
Its one side having the truth, while the other side is, again, full of lies and harmfull intent.
Like every time with conservatives: The cruelty is the point. They just hate you. They want you dead.
Würden Währungsbehörden, Finanzinstitute oder Investoren anderer autokratischer Länder auf die Idee kommen, dass auch ihre Guthaben in der EU nicht mehr sicher sind, könnten sie ihre Gelder vom Kontinent abziehen
Ich persönlich hab nichts dagegen jederzeit das Vermögen von Diktatoren einzuziehen und daraus humanitäre Hilfe zu machen. Die EU sollte kein Hafen für blutiges Geld böswilliger Herrscher sein.
Was auch immer deswegen getan werden wird: Russland darf dieses Geld niemals wiedersehen! Wer Krieg anfängt und Genozid begeht, hat kein Anrecht darauf.
