    Anxiety surges as Donald Trump may be indicted soon: Why 2024 is 'the final battle' and 'the big one'

    Donald Trump's many legal problems – and calls for protests – have generated new fears of political violence and anxiety about the 2024 election.

    WASHINGTON – It looks like American politics is entering a new age of anxiety, triggered by an unprecedented legal development: The potential indictment of a former president and current presidential candidate.

    Donald Trump's many legal problems – and calls for protests by his followers – have generated new fears of political violence and anxiety about the unknowable impact all this will have on the already-tense 2024 presidential election

    I’ll reframe this is a more accurate way, Are Presidents above the law? This new age was spurred into existence when home grown dummies elected a corrupt, mentally ill, anti-democratic, would be dictator as President and don’t bother to hold him responsible for his crimes, don’t want to because in the ensuing mayhem and destruction, they think they will be better off. The man is actually advocating violence (not the first time). And btw, screw democracy too. If this feeling spreads, we are In deep shirt.

    This goes beyond one treasonous Peice of work and out to all his minions. This is on you or should we be sympathetic to the idea of they can’t help being selfish suckers to the Nation’s detriment? Donald Trump is the single largest individual threat to our democracy and it‘s all going to boil down to will the majority of the GOP return to his embrace and start slinging his excrement to support him?

    for many, they choose the path of least resistance. "we have our own daily lives and problems to sort thru and dont have the time ( nor energy ) to solve others' problems " as if VOTING it simply too hard.

    Take a stand.
    Stand by it.
    Vote

    and in just 18 short months you wont have to worry as much about the political atmosphere and CAN focus on your life.

    So they felt the need to specify it was for “all women”? Do they think there aren’t any men involved? They must be really “special” but not in a good way. 😁🤡🤦‍♀️
     
    Trump is apparently telling Congress specifically what he wants them to do. He wants a voting restriction bill passed - the SAVE Act - and he says if the Senate won’t go along with it, then the House should shut the federal government down by refusing to pass the CR. I wish the GOP would all find their spines and ignore this little scared man.

    Trump pushes GOP to shut down government just weeks before 2024 election

    Speaking on Monica Crowley's podcast on Friday, former President Donald Trump went on a long rant about election integrity in the United States, which he once again claimed was rife with fraud.During his tirade, Trump demanded that House Republicans pass the so-called "SAVE Act" that's aimed at...

    Trump is proposing to make IVF free or mandate that insurance companies pay for it, which means we all pay for it. He probably won't keep that promise, just like he also promised to make experimental antibody treatments free for everyone, which he never did. Still, IVF is a choice for people that are having trouble conceiving, so why should it be free? How many kids can a family have via IVF?

    There really isn’t a limit - theoretically. Realistically, it’s physically grueling for a woman to go through egg harvesting. My daughter did 3 rounds and had 1 child. When it came time for a second child, she opted for embryo adoption instead of going through the egg harvesting anymore. During the egg harvesting women have to give themselves many daily injections and their ovaries swell to the size of softballs with all the eggs that develop at once. It’s pretty painful and I haven’t even touched on some of the tests and biopsies that have to be done as well.

    In the infertility practice she went to they ask if parents want to donate embryos they don’t wish to use and make them available for couples who either can’t generate their own or choose not to. The implantation phase is much less painful than the egg harvesting, but still not exactly pain free as you still have to do some injections and biopsies.

    As for Trump, it wasn’t a serious offer, he’s just pandering to get votes. If the people who are writing his policies have their way they will outlaw IVF altogether. And he will sign it and not give a crap.

    That is a huge sacrifice, and I’m sympathetic, but it is a choice for people that want a family and are having trouble conceiving. I don’t think society has to assure everyone has kids, so I don’t think it should be free.

    So, there are more considerations than merely cost. But yes, it is very expensive. In our state insurance doesn’t cover any of the costs, while one state over it is required to be covered by health plans.

    But, for whatever reason, more and more people find themselves unable to have children without some form of help. As a society, we don’t want to become Italy, for example. To keep everything going we do need to have at least a replacement-level fertility rate. Immigration definitely helps too.

    It’s not out of the realm, IMO, for some of the costs to be covered by insurance.

    It's ridiculous for insurance companies to not cover any costs of infertility treatments while covering costs for erectile dysfunction medications and treatments. It's not surprising, but it's ridiculous.

    I think it’s ridiculous to mandate that health insurance companies cover anything that is elective.
     
    On a weekend day in the summer of 2020, President Donald Trump phoned his education secretary, Betsy DeVos, out of the blue.

    DeVos’s focus that summer was the mass disruption the pandemic had inflicted on students, but Trump was worked up about something else: the 1619 Project, a set of essays published in the New York Times that centered slavery in understanding the founding of the nation.


    In a “rant,” DeVos recalled, Trump wanted to know how the administration could ban it from classrooms.
“I had to remind him that the United States does not have a national curriculum, and for good reason,” DeVos wrote in her 2022 memoir, “Hostages No More.” She told him directly: “The federal government can’t ban the 1619 Project.”


    That wasn’t what Trump wanted to hear, and he didn’t drop the idea of a national curriculum. Soon he announced a new 1776 Commission, aimed at telling a far more patriotic story about the place slavery and racism have played in America’s history.

    If Trump had scant understanding of curriculum development, he saw clearly how Republicans could use the politics of race and education to inflame passions.

    The commission ultimately produced a 41-page report on patriotic education that was posted on the White House website two days before Trump left office. It was disbanded by President Joe Biden as one of his first acts in office.


    The little-noticed story of how Trump personally commissioned this initiative in his final months as president shows his instinct for spotting and stoking a simmering culture war issue, the same approach that has shaped his political comeback in the years since he left office.


    It also offers a granular example of how Trump’s impulse to use federal power expansively to execute his political goals was at times thwarted in his first term by aides who took a more traditional conservative view of the role of government — and what he might achieve should he return to the White House without such guardrails.

    DeVos declined to comment, a spokeswoman said.
Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt responded that Trump has always supported “bringing education back to the states, closest to parents and educators, where it belongs” and said the 1776 Commission focused on patriotic education at federal agencies.

    “The Harris-Biden Administration shut down the 1776 Commission because the Democrat Party abhors common sense American principles and wants to rewrite our nation’s history with divisive ideologies,” she said……….
