#Biden will focus on getting a #law passed that restores the #rights of #RoeVWade if re-elected, White House gender policy council chair Jennifer Klein told reporters Mon.
On Sat, #Trump addressed a crowd of #evangelical voters at the Faith & Freedom Coalition in Washington. "We have also achieved what the #ProLife movement fought to get for 49 yrs, & we've gotten #abortion out of the federal government & back to the states," he said.
The #legislation, which passed the #Louisiana State Senate by a vote of 29 to 7, now goes to Gov #JeffLandry, a #Republican who previously defended the state’s stringent #AbortionBan in court as AG. He is widely expected to sign it.
What do my fellow #Exvangelical antifascists think about this tactic?
I think it could be surprisingly effective, for those of us who grew up in it. Providing you've dealth with any #ReligiousTrauma enough for it not to trigger you.
Alright, who’s ready to see #Trump get his just deserts? He fucked up the whole damn world & that’s not an overstatement.
PS #BabySquirrel & I had a lovely weekend. It’s as boy! (He’s developed discernible - stuff)
He is doing quite well! Name: “Ramone” because he’s a sweet little punk rocker.
#Trump’s #criminal trial for falsifying business records during the 2016 presidential campaign to hide an extramarital affair that occurred while his 4th(?) wife was pregnant from his majority #evangelical#Christian#electorate; to that end he arranged an illegal & financially fraudulent #HushMoney pay-off to the adult-film actress #StormyDaniels.
Once the prosecutor & Trump’s #legal team have outlined their cases to the jury, the 1st witnesses will be called.
In 2006, …Donald #Trump met the adult-film star #StormyDaniels. According to Daniels, things got intimate. (“The sex was nothing crazy,” she would go on to say.) A decade later, Trump was running for President, as a kind of #Republican uber-family man, drawing crucial support from #conservative, #evangelical voters. Daniels decided to go public: her encounter w/ Trump had taken place while he was already married to his third wife, Melania.
Known for his improvised & volatile performances, #Trump is now ending many of his rallies w/ churchlike ritual & casting his prosecutions as persecution.
Soft, reflective music fills the venue as a hush falls over the crowd. #Trump’s tone turns reverent & somber, prompting some to bow their heads or close their eyes. Others raise open palms in the air or murmur as if in #prayer.
In this moment, Trump’s audience is his #congregation, & he their pastor as he delivers a ~15-min finale that evokes an #evangelical altar call, the emotional tradition that concludes some #Christian services in which attendees come forward to commit to their #savior.
It was 2014, & #ErinHawley was fighting against the egg-laying hens of #Missouri. Specifically, a new req that chicken cages have enough space for the hens to stand up, turn around & stretch out. [#AnimalCruelty]
A #law prof rom 5 generations of ranchers & the wife of Sen #JoshHawley, Ms. Hawley joined a challenge to #California, which req more spacious enclosures for hens laying eggs to be sold there.
‘They’re frightened of diversity’ says Rob Reiner on the threat of Christian-nationalism. Reiner's new documentary traces the rise of the white evangelical political movement and what would make god-fearing bible huggers reject democracy and embrace a con artist like Donald Trump.
@zachvat "nutters" 1994 comment by Barry Goldwater still on point.
"Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them."
The classified documents case will make use of a recording which indicates that #Trump had a highly sensitive document which he knew was NOT declassified.
The chain of evidence looks strong and while there is much news media spinning, a court of law is more rigorous environment where focus on fact is primary
