If her whole strategy with being in the House was to parlay that into a job as a consultant or lobbyist, wouldn't breaking with your party and running as an independent kinda fly in the face of that strategy? Those kinds of jobs typically are paying you for your insider knowledge or connections which breaking with your party kinda hinders. Like, McCain's whole maverick thing wouldn't have worked or been notable if he switched to an Independent and then bombed out after 1 term.

The only things Trump has said concretely about how he'd handle the Israel/Gaza war differently was to ban refugees from Gaza and screen immigrants for anyone sympathizing with Hamas (or other "Muslim extremists"). This was from back in October so he might have had a change of heart since then but I haven't found anything so far https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-iowa-caucus-2024-election-c8f0ff23b1a39fb4e2b7aee9da15f0ed quote:CLIVE, Iowa (AP) — Doubling down on the hard-line immigration policies that have long animated his base, former President Donald Trump on Monday vowed to bar refugees from Gaza and immediately expand his first-term Muslim travel ban if he wins a second term following the deadly attack on Israel last week.

LaserPrinter69 posted:I hope not because someone would seize on this and say "see, we don't need to send Ukraine any foreign aid, since Russia will just collapse anyway" And then you have to deal with who takes control of the bombs. I may be the one misreading here, but I read "destabilizing military capabilities" as "military capabilities that cause destabilization", not that Russia is about to get super destabilized. Though it's hard to say for sure until they say something concrete about it.

L. Ron DeSantis posted:It's all completely ridiculous but I feel like the practical effect is not as bad as Dobbs because presumably people who have the money for IVF can afford to travel to a less insane state to do it, or am I missing something? A medical procedure being expensive doesn't mean only rich people do it, it just means people who don't have a ton of money have an even harder time getting the money together to do it. People without boatloads of money still want kids too, and it's way cheaper and easier to get the time and money together to do IVF in state rather than adding travel, lodging, and time off work for each appointment to the equation.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Alabama is solving their IVF issue, but in a way that might cause more legal problems in the future. Wouldn't the doctors having immunity not matter if the operators or administrators of the IVF clinic or hospital don't? Like if someone left the embryo fridge open at a clinic, wouldn't the clinic operators still be in danger of being charged with negligent manslaughter?

koolkal posted:No, just seeding future jokes. But Project 2025 is a thing that a group actually wrote with the intention of promoting it as a future policy platform. I don't think that's really the same as making up a type of guy that might exist in the future to be mad about.

Making this post so I can quote it in a few years when Democrats start requiring anyone seeking an abortion bring the freshly severed heads of at least 2 social security recipients. It's honestly incredibly hosed up that I could just invent a policy for Dems to pass in the future like that
