My theory is that pro-lifers are there to provide target-rich environments for school shooters.

Trump’s bent Supreme Court have reversed the ban on ‘bump-stock’ rapid fire mods to guns because the one thing America needs right now is more mass shootings:

US supreme court strikes down federal ban on ‘bump stock’ devices for guns
Banned after the 2017 shooting in Las Vegas that killed 60, bump stocks make a regular gun fire almost as fast as a machine gun

More efficient mass shootings.

On the subject of mass shootings and the American far-right I’m delighted to see conspiracy theorist/nutter/gobshite Alex Jones is having a bad day:
www.theguardian.com
Judge orders liquidation of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones′s personal assets
Texas judge approves converting Jones’s proposed bankruptcy reorganization to a liquidation and has yet to rule on parent company to Infowars
Polls this far out are invariably wrong.
Guess it depends on how far Trump goes but I doubt it.

According to The Economist, Trump's re-election is highly likely:
www.economist.com
It would appear that incumbency is not what it used to be.
The Trump supporters (big business, "evangelicals") know full well that he's a half-wit (apparently the business leaders who met him earlier this week said as much), but he is, in the phrase attributed to Lenin, a "useful idiot", a way to get what they want, "Christian" values foisted on everyone in the country, plus permission to make as much money, tax-free, and cause as much environmental devastation as they want.
Perhaps the NYT's Brett Stephens is correct:

Five months out, Donald Trump has a clear lead
America’s presidential race is no coin flip, says our forecast

I read it as 'We need to be pragmatic on the abortion pills, but we can throw a bone to the base here.'More gun massacres to come...
US Supreme Court throws out ban on bump stocks for guns
The court rules the government does not have the right to ban the accessories.www.bbc.com

The Economist panders to capitalists. But did you see what the CEOs that met with Trump Thursday were saying?https://www.cnbc.com/2024/06/14/ceos-at-trump-meeting-not-impressed.html

Was the abortion pills verdict just a bit of campaign protection for Trump? Presumably the thinking being that if he won, he could remove availability under some other mechanism like directing FDA oversight.

More likely that either of them could get a shot than most previous elections.
Unfortunate turn of phrase but yes it must be a good chance the VP will be POTUS.

Here’s me thinking I was being subtle.
More likely to benefit from natural Demise in these 2 cases…

Biden already has one...
Yes I know. Isn't there a move to change that selection ?
