President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

I agree with you and I’m certain that’s what she believes. But she might not realize there’s no GOP left to salvage a career with. It’s gone. All trumplican now.

I see Ken Buck is quitting the House too. Don’t know a thing about his district but an opening for another maga nut. Another profile in courage. It got too hard so he quit.

 

The traditional reason Congresspeople quit is that they believe their party is going to lose. IMO in this election it's the opposite. The departing Republicans (and McConnell in stepping down) believe Trump is going to win and get a GOP Congress, and they do not want to have to deal with that. They won't fight to keep democracy mind you, but they don't want to be part of the autocrat's machine.

 

LOL "win" LOLOLOLOL

 

Sure he will.

 

Fourth couple sues Alabama clinic at heart of IVF court ruling

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/03/05/alabama-ivf-fourth-lawsuit/


"A Florida couple has sued the Alabama in vitro fertilization (IVF) clinic at the heart of the state’s consequential state Supreme Court ruling that frozen embryos are children, becoming the fourth set of plaintiffs to pursue a wrongful-death claim over destroyed frozen embryos from a 2020 incident that in recent weeks has thrown the state’s legal landscape on IVF into uncertainty.

A complaint was filed Thursday in Mobile County Circuit Court against the Mobile Infirmary Medical Center and the Center for Reproductive Medicine, almost two weeks after the Alabama Supreme Court issued a ruling on a 2021 complaint that frozen embryos are children for the purposes of a wrongful-death suit.

The ruling quickly opened to the door to wide-ranging concerns among doctors and IVF patients that they could be held liable for destroying frozen embryos, either by accident or as part of the normal course of IVF treatment.

Three couples who were storing frozen embryos at the clinic when they were destroyed in 2020 had filed separate lawsuits that were combined before the state Supreme Court. The state Supreme Court’s decision reversed a lower court that dismissed the wrongful-death claims and said frozen, pre-implanted embryos did not meet the definition of a child.

The latest lawsuit identifies a fourth couple who lost embryos in that same 2020 incident and outlines the same basic facts as the preceding wrongful-death suits.

According to the complaint filed Thursday, Raymond Lee and Sarah Brackett of Florida lost at least three frozen embryos in December 2020 when a hospital patient at the Mobile Infirmary Medical Center wandered through an unlocked door to the Center for Reproductive Medicine facility, accessed the room where frozen embryos were cryopreserved, removed a container of embryos in liquid nitrogen and then dropped it on the floor."

 

I think we can work out an arrangement then. If Joe Biden wins I would feel owned. So, so very owned.

 

Kyrsten Sinema announces she is not running for re-election.

Adios. Not a lot of tears shed in Arizona over this.

 

Well, hopefully it's not Boebert or someone equally as awful. Appreciate the info.

 

She knew she was getting primaried. Some credit to her for not pulling some third-party fuckery.
