the second amendment also guarontees US citizens to form a well armed army of citizens incase a autocrat assumes power unchecked basicly discharging any treason charge that may happen so if trump became (or becomes in 2024) a dictator we could fight without fear of getting the needle
Yes, the second amendment clearly states that militias are necessary for the security of a free state. You’re welcome to partake in one. I disagree with your take on Trump, but it is your right.
Just continues to side step the fact the entire point of the argument. In a perfect world, where there is no political gaming of the system, then sure. But that's not what happened. Those three justices Trump appointed all said they wouldn't overturn Roe v Wade. And look where we are now. So no, this was a political move, and the affiliation matters, and it would be stupid to call it anything other than that.
Roe was always controversial and invented out of whole cloth. It’s been cited as an example of legislating from the bench for decades, everybody and their dog knew that it was bad law from day 1. Nobody’s surprised that it was overturned - it was always at risk of being challenged. Congress had 50 years to address this problem accordingly, and it had failed to do so.

uh let me guess foxi your one of those "the jan 6th attack was staged" people that was a clear indicator of how far trump would go
If personal attacks, scrying and mind reading are the only things you have to offer as a rebuttal then I’m not interested in your opinion.

This place is a wasteland, as expected...

Anyways, my stance on the matter is that Roe-V-Wade being appealed is a slippery slope to even more rights of minorities being taken away; this time it was abortion, next time it could very well be Gay Marriage and that's horrifying.

That's all i have to say and i will NOT be revisiting this thread because i'll likely just be called a slur or something at this rate.

A billionare, President, TV personality, that's created thousands of jobs and employs thousands of people. Has had books written about him, starred in movies etc.....

What have you done that compares? - and if you deem him a loser, how do you see yourself, what have you ever done that can compare to any of his achievements?

When I think of losers, I think of people like this 29 year old man that competed in a girls skateboad competiton, and took a 13 year old girls winning spot.

I've never run for president and lost the popular vote, let alone twice.

I didn't ask what you've not done, I asked what you had done - but I assume you've not really done anything of note and that's why you never said. Let's face it Trump is better than you and will achieve more in 1 year of his life than you will achieve in your entire lifetime. I bet if when you get to the end of your life and compare your life to his - you would be classed as the loser. Go figure.

Trump is definitely not my optimal pick. I'd rather want my governor in the white house and will be voting for him in the primary if he runs.

That doesn't mean that Trump doesn't deserve credit. His supreme court nominees will be remembered as being consequential in preventing systemic infanticide as best as we can (as of right now) in the textbooks.

setting aside personality, from a policy point of view, Trump is definitely the best president to have held office since I've been alive and it ain't even close.

If Hillary took office in 2016, I don't even want to know where we would've been.

I don't think there's anything that's going to happen to me in my life that could come close to two national election popular vote losses.

My initial point was that a Trump win, by definition, cannot be a win for the majority. He lost the popular vote twice and is a loser.

You lose - the majority win.

Trump never won the popular vote, he specifically campaigned electoral colleges to swing the vote his way by technicality. Smart move, yes, not much better than Hilary, maybe, but still not the majority. You seem to confuse "majority" with "echo chamber".

Also, it's not a "you lose, majority win" situation. Trump campaigned mostly on empty threats and promises and standard mudslinging. He accomplished nothing his campaign was based on, spent two years repealing Obama era laws and blaming COVID on China while setting up tariffs and golfing. What down time he had he spent crying about voter fraud (during his presidency, mind you) and staffing as much of the Supreme Court and cabinet related positions with people that pandered to him rather than people who generally sought to make things better for "Every"one.

But, I digress. When any already established life is extinguished, or bound to restriction, to pave way for new life, that's human tragedy, not a win for anyone.

I've never run for president and lost the popular vote, let alone twice.

Much less get impeached twice in one presidency.

Compared to Trump? Probably a lot more bodily autonomy and a lot less overt racism. Luckily orange bad man followed his words and put her in jail.

Waitaminnit...
