I'd like to see Johnson fall off his bike, and into the path of an articulated lorry. :D

Have you been following the hearing about the riots. Pretty damning stuff on Trump.

Trump could be filmed walking into the Senate with an AK-47, firing indiscriminately, and they'd still be sitting around talking about it!

I feel like the 2.5 on him to be the nominee is worth laying soon

Will today's Supreme Court ruling have any effect on the next election?

Both Biden and Harris are calling on the electorate to turn around the court's ruling (by electing more democrats). As things stand, America is no longer a free country with the right to choose when to start a family taken away, or even given to a rapist!

It's a monumental decision. It could mobilise a lot of women to vote Dem in 2024 and might even have an impact on the mid-terms. If the Dems really want to 'take advantage' of this though the first thing they have to do is get Biden to announce he won't be running for re-election asap.

On a human level its disgusting to me.. a lot of states will outright ban abortion overnight and the irony is that in some of these states its still legal to marry a minor if you get the parents permission! But from a political pov its going to be really interesting, could the 2024 election be decided on this and not the economy?

Its damning but one half of the country don't care and I can't see Trump being held criminally liable.

Interesting to see all the rats trying to jump off the sinking ship when its already sunk though :)

1.21 for a GOP senate majority is really short considering where the SCOTUS could go from here, even if not the GOP are picking some really terrible candidates.

Also, going to be really interesting to see as to how DeSantis plays this.

Not sure why people are surprised to be honest. There has always been a north and south in the USA. They went to war over it, still hold grudges and are still divided.

Look at gun controls, northern states want change and southern ones do not. The 15 republicans who crossed the floor for change will be voted out next time for sure.

Same with abortion, northern states do and southern are against.

I doubt you will change much without another civil war.

Great parents and parents have allot to do with both subjects. Handed down from grandfather to father to son etc. Been like that on both topics for decades.

Guiliani's son is running for governor of NY. Listening to him talk, I think his father's problem is hereditary and gets worse with age. :)

Trump grabbed the Beast's steering wheel when he realised he wasn't being driven to Capitol Hill. He's also reported to be throwing plates around and pulling off tablecloths when he got back to the white house. What a cry baby!

I'm really disappointed by this testimony. The way CNN built it up I thought Ivanka was gonna sashay through the doors and testify that the protesters were at the Capitol to fulfill a contract that Daddy had taken out on Pence !
