HelpImSurrounded's JournalCan anybody here tell the difference between chimpanzee and human DNA?
They are 99.3% the same. So, if an IVF clinic in Alabama loses its records, how do we know that the freezer has Human DNA? A zygote is just a nutrient container with a strand of DNA. At what point do we know it's human?
Colorado is NOT "deciding the election for the nation"
I can NOT believe MSNBC is giving this line of thought as much play as it is and not answering the question.
Colorado is making decision for Colorado. Every state has a right to appoint its electors however it chooses. It's only been the last 150 years that that has been done by popular vote. So Colorado can set up its ballot however it wants.
If Colorado IS "deciding the election for the nation" then the first-in-time primaries need to come to an end. They have far more influence on the election than Colorado will have with this one decision.
And yes Justice Kavanaugh and Alito, it COULD result in each of the states making their own decisions. It's called States' rights and this is a clearly defined state right. I thought you guys were all for that?
"presidents will be automatically indicted" - GREAT! Let's do it.
Let's watch politically motivated prosecutors destroy their careers with bogus charges and indictments that are clearly covered by EXISTING QUALIFIED IMMUNITY.
Let's do this until the entire populace understands the difference between absolute and qualified immunity.
Let's do this until Trumpism is nothing left but a memory.
Could removing Trump backfire? (How the electoral college can be manipulated)
I was answer a question about what happens if Trump is actually removed from a general election ballot? The answer, I realized, was that the Republicans could find a willing proxy to be on the ballot in such states. If the proxy actually wins the state for the Republicans, that state's electors can be diverted to vote for Trump.
Carefully chosen proxies could actually help the republicans in some states.
It's an uncertain strategy to be sure but if Trump is forced off the ballot in those states, why not try? They've proven there is no tactic they won't use to win.
Chip Roy has a challenger!!
https://www.drkristinhook.orgTHIS is the kind of candidate we need! More Scientists in congress!
From her website -
Hey yall, Im Dr. Kristin Hook!
Im a scientist running as a Democratic candidate for U.S. Congress to serve the needs of TX-21 and to oust Chip Roy in 2024!
Im a UT-Austin graduate, former classroom teacher, and reproductive biologist who turned to public service as a government watchdog in the wake of the pandemic.
Im running for office to make sure sound science is included in the laws that govern our nation, to help level the playing field for working class Texas families like my own, and to change the face of power to empower other women and underdogs like me.
The Hill Country needs a Texan representative who values women, believes in science, and wants to enact laws based on evidence. It's well past time to replace Ted Cruz's lackey, Chip Roy. Chip belongs in queso, not in Congress!
As a third-generation Texan and Latina, I hope I can earn your trust and your vote, and I am so excited to fight for you!
Chip Roy film an ad for Democrats
Well, not intentionally, maybe but this clip is rife with quotes that Dems can use against him -

In particular around 17:39 he yells "One thing, ONE that I can go campaign on and say we did..."
So many other bits too
Clearly the Republicans don't want ANY democratic votes for Speaker
Stefanik's nominating speech attacking Democrats with falsehoods makes that clear.
What if house democrats abstain?
In the event that Gaetz puts forth a motion to vacate, the democrats could easily swing the vote one way or another.
What if they all abstained on the motion to vacate?
What would be the effect?
Articles of Impeachment leaked
In memory of Pat...
