In slightly more relevant news, documents leaked to Politico show that the Supreme Court is drafting documents that could overturn the Roe vs Wade ruling - the landmark case that legalised abortion nearly 50 years ago.
Grim. Very, very grim.Comment

It's a reflection of the failures going on the US. This has been lined up since long before Trump selected Supreme Court judges and the Democrats have done plenty hand wringing but absolutely nothing else to deal with it. We're head first speeding to a Republican Presidency and House and I'm very doubtful we'll see the Democrats retake either for a long time either. America is sliding to the right hard now and without the lightning rod objection to Trump I don't see the Democrats galvanising voters to hold onto power. They've utterly, utterly wasted their opportunity and are now as useful as Labour are here. Doubly damning given they still hold power right now.Comment

Just touching in the anti abortion nonsense thats been allowed to go on in the US at the moment, not to mention their general idiocy of late, i feel were just a few months away from a witch trial.
Trump became president.
Coup on congress during an election.
Creationism as fact in southern schools.
Ban on abortions.
Witch trials.

It really is depressing to see how far America is willing to regress.Comment

It is amazing how far the country has been pushed, bit by bit. A little more right, a little more, just a touch more and so on. Some leaps (like Trump) have felt large but really it's all part of a slow, extended creep. And every time the centre shifts with it which is why I have long stopped believing in any idea of centrist politics - it's too easy to move that target. So we have all this happening while the likes of Musk, now social media mogul, decries the radical left (who honestly would still likely be seen as right wing across much of Europe).
Trump is gone (for now) but that shift is still moving.Comment

Totally. It's remarkable how the Democrats are portrayed as some kind of radical socialists, when by any measure they are a conservative right wing party.Comment

It's crazy to think that in America, women seem to have less rights than guns.Comment

Same sex marriage, easily. Religion is used as a crutch for bigotry all too easilyComment
