RupertKBD Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 9 minutes ago, ronthecivil said: Yup, because they ran a slate of known election deniers and abortion haters. All they need to do is put in an anti immigrant anti crime (don't matter if crazy) guy like Desantis (and he is crazy!) who doesn't have, well, a ton of the above baggage to make easy to make attack ads. The elections even with the underperform are generally razor thin. Take out some of the other sides obvious easy points and it can flip. That said it's unlikely they do it because the crazy people on the right don't even care if they win anymore as long as they can troll. Desantis has enacted all of the far right policies in Florida that have cost Republicans in the general elections. I don't think his shtick will play nationally, so we can agree to disagree on that. You didn't address my other point: Do you really believe Donald Trump would sit back and not do anything to sabotage a Republican candidate if they beat him out for the nomination? If so, that would be another area where we'd have to agree to disagree. I'd bet the Farm that he'd tell his followers that the fix is in and there is no reason to vote.

nuckin_futz Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) Trump Privately Frets He Could Be Headed to Prison Would he be sent to a “club fed” style prison — or a “bad” one? Would he have Secret Service protection? And what would they make him wear? Those are some of the questions Donald Trump is asking his lawyers as his many trials In the past several months, Donald Trump has had a burning question for some of his confidants and attorneys: Would the authorities make him wear “one of those jumpsuits” in prison? As the criminal cases against him have piled up, the former president and 2024 GOP frontrunner has wondered aloud in recent months about what life would be like if he’s convicted, and if appeals fail. While Trump publicly professes confidence, privately, three sources familiar with his comments say, he’s been asking lawyers and other people close to him what a prison sentence would look like for a former American president. Would he be sent to a “club fed” style prison — a place that’s relatively comfortable, as far these things go — or a “bad” prison? Would he serve out a sentence in a plush home confinement? Would government officials try to strip him of his lifetime Secret Service protections? What would they make him wear, if his enemies actually did ever get him in a cell — an unprecedented set of consequences for a former leader of the free world. What would happen — including in the Fulton County, Georgia criminal case against him and various co-defendants — if he were convicted and sentenced, but also re-elected? The private questions are a departure from the air of supreme confidence invincibility Trump has projected. In interviews and elsewhere, he has claimed that the thought of losing in court and going to prison simply cannot enter his mind. “I don’t even think about it,” Trump told NBC’s Kristen Welker during an interview last week. “I’m built a little differently I guess.” Trump’s attorneys like Alina Habba have amplified that bravado. Habba told Fox News’ Shannon Bream last month that the former president was so confident he would be vindicated that he’s not even preparing for his various trials. “If it was a normal person, honestly Shannon, I could understand the concern,” she said, adding that “You don’t have to prep much when you’ve done nothing wrong.” But now out of office, sources close to Trump and those who’ve heard him ask these questions about a hypothetical sentencing tell Rolling Stone that it’s clear the gravity of his mounting legal peril is getting to Trump, regardless of whether the former president can admit to it in public. A Trump spokesperson did not respond to questions from Rolling Stone. Edited September 21, 2023 by nuckin_futz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is to a class of grade 8 where sex ed already started. It is not like this was read to a third grade classroom. If grade 8 kids are cuddled that they should not even hear about genitalia then we have way larger problems. The right is so sensitive with talks about sex and frankly that is a large reason why we see so much teen pregnancies that ruin lives in that group. The more you try to hide it from the adolescents, the more they will get curious and do irresponsible things like having unprotected sex. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
