    I'm sure Fox News will run multiple high profile articles with this new information, just like they ran 20+ news stories on the original report... you know, so their audience doesn't just absorb the original messaging without seeing any of the follow-up, because setting up a situation like that would be super questionable morally...

     

    I won't be able to check since I still have the site blocked... so I'll just assume that is what is happening, because surely the most popular news organization in the country has incredibly high journalistic standards.

     

    Even if they ran multiple high profile articles, it wouldn't matter. The purpose of right-wing media is to introduce talking points and narratives. The introduction of the talking points themselves is to them, evidence of their actuality.

     

    It's why, over 10 years later, if you mention the words "IRS" around conservatives they have an almost Pavlovian response that Obama weaponized the IRS against conservatives.

    In new book, former DHS Secretary John Kelly quotes Trump saying "Hitler did some good things."

    Former advisers sound the alarm that Trump praises despots in private and on the campaign trail | CNN Politics

    WWW.CNN.COM
    To Donald Trump, Hungarian strongman Viktor Orban is “fantastic”, Chinese leader Xi Jinping is “brilliant”, North Korea’s Kim Jong Un is “an okay guy”, and most alarmingly he allegedly said Adolf Hitler “did some good things,” a worldview that would reverse decades-old US foreign policy in a second term should he win November’s presidential election, multiple former senior advisers tell CNN.

     

     

    Quote

    Trump allegedly reserved some of his most unnerving praise for Hitler, who led Nazi Germany during World War II.

     

    “He said, ‘Well, but Hitler did some good things.’ I said, ‘Well, what?’ And he said, ‘Well, [Hitler] rebuilt the economy.’ But what did he do with that rebuilt economy? He turned it against his own people and against the world. And I said, ‘Sir, you can never say anything good about the guy. Nothing,’” Kelly recounted. “I mean, Mussolini was a great guy in comparison.”

     

    “It’s pretty hard to believe he missed the Holocaust, though, and pretty hard to understand how he missed the 400,000 American GIs that were killed in the European theater,” Kelly told me. 

     

    Quote

    Trump’s admiration for Hitler went further than the German leader’s economic policies, according to Kelly. Trump also expressed admiration for Hitler’s hold on senior Nazi officers. Trump lamented that Hitler, as Kelly recounted, maintained his senior staff’s “loyalty,” while Trump himself often did not.

     

    “He would ask about the loyalty issues and about how, when I pointed out to him the German generals as a group were not loyal to him, and in fact tried to assassinate him a few times, and he didn’t know that,” Kelly recalled. “He truly believed, when he brought us generals in, that we would be loyal — that we would do anything he wanted us to do,” Kelly told me.

     

    Quote

    When asked to respond to the allegations from the former Trump administration officials, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung did not comment on the substance of what they told me but stated, “John Kelly and John Bolton have completely beclowned themselves and are suffering from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. They need to seek professional help because their hatred is consuming their empty lives.”

     

    Frozen embryos are ‘children,’ Alabama Supreme Court rules in couples’ wrongful death suits

    I thought the Republican party wanted women to produce more laborers for their factories precious children as God intended. Preventing IVFs seems counterintuitive to that goal.

    Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., appeared to struggle to answer questions on Thursday related to a ruling by his state's Supreme Court last week that embryos are considered children.

     

    “Yeah, I was all for it,” Tuberville told reporters at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday when asked about the Alabama Supreme Court's Friday ruling that embryos created through in vitro fertilization are considered children under state law.

     

    “We need to have more kids. We need to have an opportunity to do that, and I thought this was the right thing to do,” Tuberville said.

     

    Pressed by NBC News about whether he was concerned about how the ruling could impact people who are trying to have kids through IVF, Tuberville sidestepped the question.

     

    “Well, that’s, that’s for another conversation. I think the big thing is right now, you protect — you go back to the situation and try to work it out to where it’s best for everybody. I mean, that’s what — that’s what the whole abortion issue is about,” he said.

    Frozen embryos are ‘children,’ Alabama Supreme Court rules in couples’ wrongful death suits

    WWW.AL.COM
    The state's highest court reversed a judge's dismissal of the case involving embryos destroyed by a wandering Mobile hospital patient.

     

     

    Quote

    Three couples whose frozen embryos were destroyed when a wandering Mobile hospital patient dropped the specimens can sue for wrongful death because the embryos were “children,” the Alabama Supreme Court ruled Friday in reversing a judge’s decision to throw out the case.

     

    Quote

    The Wrongful Death of a Minor Act “applies to all unborn children, regardless of their location,” wrote Alabama Supreme Court Justice Jay Mitchell. “[T]he Wrongful Death of a Minor Act is sweeping and unqualified. It applies to all children, born and unborn, without limitation. It is not the role of this Court to craft a new limitation based on our own view of what is or is not wise public policy. That is especially true where, as here, the People of this State have adopted a Constitutional amendment directly aimed at stopping courts from excluding ‘unborn life’ from legal protection.”

     

    Quote

    Mobile Infirmary “allowed one of its patients to leave and/or elope from his or her room in the Infirmary’s hospital area and access the cryogenic storage area,” according to one of the lawsuits.

     

    The patient removed embryos from the freezer, and “it is believed that the cryopreservation’s subzero temperatures burned the eloping patient’s hands, causing him or her to drop the cryopreserved embryonic human beings on the floor, where they began to slowly die,” one of the filings stated.

    By the time hospital staff noticed the incident, all of the embryos died, according to the lawsuits.

    [update] Donald Trump is back on Colorado’s 2024 primary ballot while state GOP appeals

    I think there’s too much focus on the term ‘insurrectionist’ in the 14th amendment, which has unfortunately become a loaded political term. I think there should have been more focus on ‘rebellion against’ the government.

     

    I’m no JD, but I feel like it’s a pretty easy argument to make, and these facts aren’t disputed by Trump’s legal team.

     

    1. The 14th Amendment bars people from serving who rebelled against the US government

    2. The counting of electoral votes is government function required by the constitution

    3. Trump told Pence not to count the electoral votes, which is required by the constitution

    4. This is a rebellion against the required constitutional function of the government and the role of vice president

     

    Because these 4 facts are not in dispute by Colorado or by Trump, he is barred from serving via the 14th amendment.
