QuoteThe abortion law builds on legislation passed in 2010 that represented a major shift for a traditionally Catholic country, transforming Spain into one of the most progressive countries in Europe on reproductive rights. Spain's constitutional court last week rejected a challenge by the right-wing Popular Party against allowing abortions in the first 14 weeks of pregnancy.
The debate will be heated in Spain, I imagine, as the conservative opposition pushes back. My daughter had horrible menstrual pain during her adolescence and young adulthood. I'm certain that she would have benefitted from that time.

Most poll questions are not specific enough to elicit a meaningful response. The Dems need to come up with a more moderate candidate if they want to win anything. BUT, not one thing will change unless we introduce election reform which is anathema to Repubs because it wouldn't be friendly to the election industry we have in America.
In my quote of the article is a link to the poll with the actual question.
What exactly do you mean by "election reform "?
Crusades said:My apologies. I should have added that none in which the member posted happened after 2016. And it will not in the next 4 yrs.
Seeing what happens is a positive outlook for the pending "fascist regime" that was supposed to happen in 2016.
I don't think "fascist regime" was talked about much in 2016. He was more of a dark horse and unknown. It was when he showed his true colors and rhetoric, that the topic came more prevalent.
I think he definitely is a fascist wannabe.

People have no regrets for voting for her and like her and her agenda. Asking if they'd vote for her again so soon, I would expect these results. But it's a dumb poll. 2028 is a long way away.
If asked now I would pick her. But check with me in four years and most likely will have another choice. There isn't much prescidence with Democrats picking a losing candidate to run again.
Nominee for the Secretary of the Navy is a businessman and major donor to the Trump campaign.
Phelan has never served in the military and has minimal business contact with the Navy. He sits on the board of a military-themed nonprofit.
QuoteSeveral of Donald Trump's cabinet nominees and picks for his White House team have been targeted by bomb threats.
The FBI said it was aware of "numerous bomb threats" as well as "swatting incidents", in which hoax calls are made to attract a police response to the target's home.
Threats were made against Trump's choices to lead the Departments of Defence, Housing, Agriculture and Labor, as well as his pick for US ambassador to the United Nations.
Police are investigating the incidents, which happened on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.
I saw this on Fox News. They are blaming Dem rhetoric such as "threat to Democracy" and pro-Palestinian Democrats. (No talk of NZ or H).
Either way, local law enforcement apparently has done a good job and hopefully they can get to the bottom of this soon.

Thoughts and prayers. It is much too soon to point fingers. Perhaps the former President can do a photo op with those who were threatened, with a big thumbs up.

That's a bit cold hearted. One of the victims has seven children and they don't deserve a team of law enforcement knocking on their door saying they've received a credible threat. They should be made to feel safe.
That being said, they were very quick to blame democrat rhetoric.
The victims are being defiant and not intimidated it only strengthens their agenda "to serve our President" and that Dems are deplorable.

Per Hegseth's own account, a police officer came to their home. No child should feel threatened. Also, children shouldn't have to do active shooter drills.. Their parents should not feel compelled to purchase Kevlar backpacks.
Tweety said:So no, Democrats don't want an open border where they can walk in steal our jobs, commit crimes and get free stuff. We never have. We don't want illegal immigrants anymore than Republicans do, but that's not the narrative Republicans want you to believe. But again, we've been there and done that many discussions ago.

Many want to decriminalize illegal immigration. At least one member here has said it.
The Biden administration removed border barriers installed by the State of Texas.
We already are giving them free stuff.
There are some out there that flat out advocate for a open border.
The Mayor of Denver has said the city won't cooperate with Trump's deportation efforts, even threatening to use the police department against it (good luck with that).
If illegal immigration is decriminalized, the effect is at the least a very porous border and a significant amount of Democrats are all for it.

Separate discussion which I won't get into.
I don't know how many people showed up at individual homes for the swatting calls or bomb threats, so I'll stand corrected on using the word "team" if need be.

Fair enough, I will drop it, too, after a couple of more comments. Per Andy McCabe, former FBI director, swatting and bomb threats have become common to people in high profile positions, and or controversial positions. Judges Chutkan and Ergoron also received threats. I think I heard McCabe say in an interview that his home had been swatted.
Perhaps the former president could spend some of his legendary fortune to hire private security for his staff.
