That’s a false premise

Hypothetically it COULD happen but AFAIK it’s unheard of. But remember the key features of this hypothetical scenario are - Fetus is alive but has zero chance of survival -Mother at risk of death or disability without emergency abortion -Mother by pure coincidence goes into labour and delivers baby while abortion underway The odds of all those things happening at the same time are so remote it’s likely never happened Women who experience rare late term abortions are women who desperately want to be mothers and only do because of emergency. They are extremely traumatized and devastated by not being able to have the baby they have dreamed of after months of pregnancy. The conservative sexist myth that these are just bimbos who changed their mind at the last minute because “it’s bikini season” is just another disgusting right wing lie. Oh really? How do you know that exactly?

No even Fox News said she won. There was no “knockout punch” and she stumbled on the first question Nobody is saying she wiped the floor with him but the overwhelming consensus is she came in with a strategy, stuck to it, and won. Did Trump lose more than Kamala won? Maybe. He kept falling for her traps, rambling, spouting obvious lies like the immigrants eating people’s dogs and going back to immigration over and over on seemingly every question regardless of actual topic. Perhaps if a more disciplined and coherent candidate had been in his place then people might have considered it more of a draw.

“The debate was rigged” is predictably the latest lie in the thousands of documented lies from Trump, a failed president and failed businessman and convicted felon. He loses and he lies and falsely screams conspiracy about everything - nothing is too small, including trivial topics like the size of his inauguration crowd or the time he altered a weather map with a fukin magic marker and presented it on national tv as real because he couldn’t admit a detail in a tweet was incorrect If he loses in November he’ll of course lie and falsely claim conspiracy and the violence from his followers will be worse than last time. Everyone knows this.

I would add to that that the leader is usually rich and the followers are usually low income yet the followers still feel obligated to give money to the leader.

Not if it is a non-viable fetus that has no chance of survival and as the soundbite conservatives keep misusing says in those extremely rare cases they do everything to make it comfortable until it passes. But its funny how you don’t have a problem with letting the mother die by refusing life-saving treatment to her. Doncha think?

In other words stating any of the above as fact as Trump and his cult do, is a lie. Also by your retarded logic if windmills cause cancer because they ALLEGEDLY “kick up dirt” (spoiler alert they don’t) then the wind itself causes cancer when it kicks up dirt regardless of whether there’s a windmill there. Go look in the mirror and ask yourself why you’re so fukin dumb

Omg diapers that’s your insult now? LMAO how childish. You sound like my son, who’s in kindergarten. You were wrong about a lot more than the value of the stock. You were wring about its quality and the fact that it was never anything more than a scam to fleece suckers like you. Everyone could see it except for clueless cult members like like you

LMAO NICE TRY LOSER You said it’s the best way to help trump “and yourself”. Then you went into many stupid and juvenile posts claiming that the stock was a quality investment despite several people more intelligent than yourself trying hopelessly to educate your dumb know-nothing ass. Why would buying a worthless investment which has additional fees associated with it be a better way to help Trump than just donating the money directly? Honestly you’re so dumb if you’re not a know-nothing idi*t teenager then you’re someone who despite being way too old to still talk and think like a know-nothing idi*t teenager isn’t any more successful in life. Based on your juvenile sexualized insults your probably as unsuccessful with women as you are with money and the rest of your life.

1) “Donated”? So you admit that suckers who BOUGHT TS shares thinking they were purchasing something of value were actually just “donating” money to Teump? 2) So you’re too poor to “donate” but you encouraged others to when you said The best way to help Trump, and yourself, is to invest in Truth Social - that way it becomes a win/win! And what about when you said “you’re just getting in” to buying TS shares” and that “indicators do show that it is taking off,” that “you’re helping” Trump, that you’ll “keep us posted on this investment”. That was all bullshit? What’s hilarious in reading that thread is how absolutely stupid and clueless you look talking up that stock and attacking us all with your juvenile sexualized insults whenever we tried to give you a dose of reality and educate your stupid ignorant ass.

So what? Its still shows where his thoughts and loyalties lie. We all know every president makes political compromises and supports or kills legislation that they would have personally preferred not to. He dodged the question. Besides, Republicans LOVE remote hypotheticals that statistically don’t even happen like genital reassignment surgery for minors or 9th month abortions of viable fetuses. Suddenly “BUT WHAT IF….” is all that matters. In the 2016 republican idi0t-off the primary contenders even discussed the hypothetical of whether they would go back in time and murder baby Hitler to prevent WW2.

Presidential debate “Now with 50% Less Old Man”. LMAO

LOL. Add that to your list of made-up narratives. How do you know what she “would have done”? SHE HAS FAMOUSLY AVOIDED ANY POLITICAL OR CONTROVERSIAL STATEMENTS HER ENTIRE CAREER. Trump’s failed attempt to fool the public with deepfake endorsements is what she says pushed her over the edge.

Now you’re saying you didn’t buy any truth social shares?

I doubt she was ever conflicted. She’s tried to stay out of politics from the beginning amd over the years has repeatedly refused to give in any indication. In fact back in 2016 it was a point of curiosity that many young alt-right / white nationalists were big Taylor Swift fans. She probably would have stayed silent if the Trumptards hadn’t tried to mislead the public with their fake AI endorsements as a desperate stunt to reverse their slide. Another self-inflicted wound

No a MAGA idi0t posted it on facebook saying he heard from his friend who heard it from his neighbour who heard it from his daughter that the immigrants were eating people’s cats. And then Trump embellished it further by adding in dogs too. Soon MAGAs will be telling us they’re eating horses and babies. It’s the old unreliable “broken telephone” grapevine gossip that only low IQ people would give any attention or credibility to…what black people jokingly call the “nigganet”. But MAGAs eat that stuff up, they have their own white nigganet to spread their lies and dubious claims. Some do it because they’re simpletons who lack basic credulity and critical thinking skills, others are simply attracted to sensationalism, the more sensational a claim is they more they want to believe it’s true. Others are just cynics who want others people to believe their lies and support their agenda. Most MAGAs are probably a combination of the above

Sorry you have that backwards. Trump not only flat out lies he’s the most notorious liar in political history. It was one crazy batshit whopper after another from him last night including lies that doctors deliver live babies and then “execute” them, that immigrants are eating people’s dogs and cats, stole election lies and so on.

The riots happened. Harris and Biden exist. Are we supposed to believe that’s a coincidence? That’s the most overwhelming evidence that’s ever existed in history. LMAO

The question was what would do if republicans in congress brought the policy to him would he sign or not sign and he refused to answer

Watch how low it goes when the cult leader throws his mindless followers like @Deluge under the bus and dumps his stock. Followers giving their scarce, hard-earned money to their billionaire leader is classic cult behaviour. Not that anyone needed anymore signs that MAGA is a cult. Are there any cult traits that MAGA doesn’t have?

By all accounts she is an expert, and falsely accusing of her of not being one (by calling her a “so-called expert” and a “wacko” as has become popular with conservatives) is in fact slamming her.

They’ve been effective in Ukraine which is far more flat amd open than the Baltic states. Urban warfare, Trench warfare and an almost guerilla warfare by dispersed light infantry units HOW UKRAINE’S ROVING TEAMS OF LIGHT INFANTRY HELPED WIN THE BATTLE OF SUMY: LESSONS FOR THE US ARMY When Russian forces invaded neighboring Ukraine on February 24, one of the first places they crossed into was the northeastern Sumy oblast. Thirty-nine days later, after intense fighting across the province, Sumy’s governor announced that all Russian forces had withdrawn from Sumy. Ukraine had won the battle. How? Ukraine’s military had mounted a noncontiguous strongpoint defense of Sumy oblast. While static defense forces held strongpoints that centered on urban and other key terrain, light infantry roamed the gaps between these strongpoints. This combination—particularly the contributions made by the mobile light infantry—first delayed, then disrupted, and finally turned back key Russian supporting efforts along critical ground lines of communication. This effort, in both Sumy and the adjacent Chernihiv oblast, denied consolidation, resupply, and mass for Russia’s main effort to encircle Kyiv. …Ukrainian resistance in Sumy oblast, particularly in late March, used small, mobile light infantry forces to disrupt Russian logistics elements, which were vital both to support the movement toward Kyiv and to sustain deliberate fire and maneuver efforts to encircle and reduce the strongpoints. These light infantry forces were equipped with strong and extensive antiarmor capabilities and worked in the gaps between the deliberate defensive strongpoints, conducting raids on Russian lines of communication and hit-and-run spoiling attacks on concentrating forces and convoys. These teams managed to limit Russian operational reach by interrupting their tempo and demoralizing Russian forces, particularly sustainment forces. The Ukrainian resistance, largely local Territorial Defense Forces, with advanced antitank guided munitions provided by the West, contributed to an ideal economy-of-force concept built on overlapping and mutually supporting strongpoints. The days between March 21 and March 24 represented a particularly high-intensity period of Ukraine’s hedgehog defense and the activity of its mobile light infantry. The combination of determined resistance denying the Russians control over cities and key terrain that Ukrainian forces defended as strongpoints and the roving light forces disrupting the Russian attempts to mass combat power and support any encircling forces was decisive in the fight for Sumy. On March 29 the Sumy axis saw a significant reduction in Russian offensive efforts due to the successful Ukrainian tactical disruption, leading to a lessening of Russian pressure on the key strongpoints. Russia’s inability to exploit the gaps in the Ukrainian noncontiguous defensive front seems to be largely because of the efforts of the mobile, light infantry forces. The overall effect of this—as well as the defense of Chernihiv, Kharkiv, and other areas east of Kyiv—was the dis-integration of the Russian offensiveoperational effort in the first week of April and the abandonment of the Kyiv axis and a complete withdrawal from northeast Ukraine…. https://mwi.westpoint.edu/how-ukraines-roving-teams-of-light-infantry-helped-win-the-battle-of-sumy-lessons-for-the-us-army/ The Queen of Battle A Case for True Light Infantry Capability …The war in Ukraine also highlights how light infantry can also serve a critical role as first lines of contact to defend against enemy unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Light infantry units excel in distributed environments that allow them to operate in densities and mass small enough to diminish the likelihood of targeting.34 The use of man-portable stinger missile systems has played a decisive role in defending Ukrainian critical assets from attacks by Russian close air support.35 Man-portable air defense systems will become especially effective against enemy close air support and drones once the U.S. Army develops man-portable air defense systems that can integrate into mobile radars.36 Light infantry thrives in severely restricted terrain, and the modern battlefield is likely to be dominated by cities or among mountains and jungles. Even muddy farm fields can plague mounted operations, as the Russians discovered during the early invasion of Ukraine. Motorized Russian forces quickly found themselves bottlenecked on roads following the thaw in February 2022 as farm fields thawed in Ukraine’s Rasputitsa (mud season).37 Tracked vehicles equally struggled across the inundated fields of Europe. Consequently, on the outskirts of battlefields like Bakhmut, one can find where enemy “armored vehicles hurtled along a single, narrow access road, [and passed by] … hulks of blown-up and burned trucks that didn’t make it.”38 Russia’s challenges with mobility serve as a cautionary tale for U.S. Army infantry units that have become too reliant and beholden to their motorized fleets. Transitioning back to light infantry will best prepare them to fight in restrictive terrain. One of the most interesting observations to come out of the Ukraine conflict is the dichotomy between Russian and Ukrainian logistics and sustainment systems. RUSI’s study assessed, “Ukrainian war stocks survived because they could be rapidly displaced and dispersed. Russian materiel has remained highly vulnerable to long-range fires.”39The lighter the unit, the less logistics required at the operational level to sustain that fighting element. The study concluded, “The reduction in the logistical tail and therefore reduced vulnerability of precision systems is perhaps as important as their effect in terms of their superiority to non-precision fires.”40Ukraine’s reliance on disaggregated lighter units has shown promise for light infantry sustainment being an important factor in future conflict.41 … https://www.armyupress.army.mil/Journals/Military-Review/English-Edition-Archives/July-August-2024/The-Queen-of-Battle/#:~:text=The war in Ukraine also,unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Ukrainian army launches new light infantry brigade Ukraine’s Armed Forces have reformatted the reserve 61st Motorized Infantry Brigade into their first specific light infantry brigade created for warfare on forested and swampy terrain. The new unit, now called the 61st Jager Infantry Brigade, was formally recognized as a full-fledged active combat formation in an April 25 joint decree of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense and the General Staff of the Armed Forces. The unit’s title comes from the German word “Jäger” (literally “hunter”), a term that in the German military tradition usually applies to light and highly-mobile rifled infantry units well-suited for scouting and engaging the enemy in small squads. The unit’s primary mission is to bolster the defenses of the country’s northern border, according to a May 12 post on the unit’s newly created Facebook page. This likely indicates the swampy and forested region of Polisia, which roughly stretches from the city of Lutsk (400 kilometers to the west of Kyiv) to the eastern city of Sumy (333 kilometers to the east of Kyiv) along the Ukrainian border with Belarus and Russia. … https://www.kyivpost.com/post/9630

By slamming experts, Pierre Poilievre and his staff are degrading political debate Stephen Maher is a political journalist and author of The Prince: The Turbulent Reign of Justin Trudeau. On Tuesday, when Doris Grinspun, the CEO of the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario, told CBC that Ontario’s decision to close 10 supervised drug consumption sites is “a death sentence for people that use substances,” the federal Conservatives were quick to attack her. Sebastian Skamski, a spokesman for Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, slammed her on X: “CBC’s so called ‘expert’ (with 23 letters behind her name) deems Trudeau’s crime ridden drug dens ‘essential’ & equates them to cancer treatment centres. These are the WACKO ‘experts’ Trudeau uses to defend his drug disaster. These are the WACKO ‘expert’ voices media peddles.” Story continues below advertisement Mr. Skamski, who is entitled to put two letters behind his name, may not fully appreciate the value of the letters after Dr. Grinspun’s name. They show, among other things, that she is a registered nurse and a PhD, that she has an honorary law degree and is a member of the Order of Ontario. Those letters do not show that she is right about supervised injection sites, but do show that she might know what she is talking about, and is the kind of person we ought to hear from. If she has good reasons to believe that supervised drug consumption sites save lives and reduce the harm of addiction, then she has a responsibility to speak out. Mr. Skamski is impolite, therefore, to call her names and treat her disrespectfully for doing her job. But he is following the example set by his boss. Mr. Poilievre is going after the people working on the front lines of the opioid epidemic. It is part of a pattern. Story continues below advertisement Mr. Poilievre has previously attacked Indigenous survivors of residential schools, the chief electoral officer, former governor-general David Johnston, a small-town reporter and variousexperts. Mr. Poilievre is often careless about others’ reputations. In February, for example, in the House of Commons, where he can speak without fear of defamation law, he called housing expert Mike Moffatt a “failed Liberal academic,” an ill-considered, inaccurate and unfair smear on a public intellectual who has done as much as anyone in Canada to explain the housing crisis and propose solutions. In the online conservative world where Mr. Skamski and Mr. Poilievre likely spend too much time, it is normal to refer to some people as NPCs – non-playable characters. It’s an idea from video games: NPCs are the figures nobody is controlling, like the pedestrians who get hit by cars in Grand Theft Auto. Conservatives who are “very online” – meaning they are excessively engaged with internet culture – use the term as an insult. Elon Musk used the phrase recently to complain about hostile media coverage of his boring conversation with Donald Trump. But in a way, many citizens are NPCs in politics; they are non-partisans who nonetheless can participate in debates. It is a bad idea to sneer at those people, or discourage them from speaking. Story continues below advertisement Mr. Poilievre has a fearsome reputation because of his unerring ability to quickly identify his opponents’ weak spots and attack them ruthlessly. He sometimes goes further than necessary, but the parliamentary system depends on no-holds-barred exchanges. It is wrong to expect the Leader of the Opposition to treat the Prime Minister and his cabinet as flawed but well-meaning. That’s not how the game has ever been played – not by John A. Macdonald, John Diefenbaker or Jean Chrétien. If you don’t want to be attacked, do not run for office. But when Mr. Poilievre is disrespectful to NPCs – like Dr. Grinspun or Mr. Moffatt – he is making our public conversations even viler than they need to be. Our debates do not need to resemble YouTube comment sections, where nasty basement dwellers anonymously trade vicious insults with strangers. Mr. Poilievre has had a commanding lead in the polls for almost two years. His party is united behind him while the Liberals are confused and dispirited. Everyone thinks he is going to be prime minister. He would be smart to start acting like it and direct his partisan attacks only at those who put their names on ballots. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-by-slamming-experts-pierre-poilievre-and-his-staff-are-degrading/

Our Chinooks, which will be a permanent part of the Latvia brigade can sling one underneath or even carry one internally (but apparently not both simultaneously for safety/stability reasons even though it has the lift and power to do so). When slinging a vehicle it still has ample power and stability left over to carry troops and gear internally Also Latvia being a multinational brigade presumably coalition aircraft are also available. Yeah I don’t disagree but I think this vehicle is another of those decent buys that were “Urgent Operational Requirements” like C-17, C-130J, Chinooks, Leopard 2s, Cougar MRAP, Buffalo MRAP, M777 howitzers for Afghanistan. All were decent buys, if limited in quantity. All were procured under the expedited “urgent operational requirement” protocol same as this LTV and the Spike ATGMs. MAYBE the RBS-70 NG MANPAD which is also a UOR I believe will also be a good buy, but I’m not so certain or knowledgeable about it. If anything UOR seems to be sign that the procurement won’t be screwed up by politicians and bureaucrats. I dunno, the experience out of Ukraine suggests airborne/ air assault is severely hampered if not dead. I’m sure they’ve considered nap-of-the-earth flying…even though much of Ukraine is flat prairie… It’s not 100km to the enemy’s rear that they’re worried about. It’s the fact that the enemy can now theoretically effectively defend airspace up to 100km to their FRONT and FLANKS. So no matter where you approach from, the last stretch, possibly up to 100k, is on the ground. No way they’re flying choppers within 10k of sophisticated air defences. How far they go into enemy territory will depend upon mission and threat environment but the general overarching principle is soldiers dismount well before entering any are with elevated threats. Look in many missions involving light forces there’s a component where they are en route via foot or crammed into civilian vehicles or school buses and this simply gives them a better alternative From the sounds of everything officially communicated, they certainly seem to expect some soldiers will need to be conducting “dismounted” operations one way or the other…whether that’s by mech infantry being assigned to dismounted tasks as needed or just light forces being flown in remains to be seen I expect that the mission requires a flexible force that run the spectrum of operations as needed under the circumstances be it mounted or dismounted

Sorry nobody falls for that line you keep using every time Trump or Republicans get busted trying to spread another lie or saying something incredibly stupid: “everyone knew it was a joke/sarcasm/fake”. But of course every time something like this happens the liar never says anything to actually suggest people shouldn’t believe it. Because they WANT you to believe it. And we know how absolutely gullible Trump supporters are. The multiple AI generated deepfakes with no disclaimer retweeted by Trump himself were clearly intended to mislead people Also its a little dishonest to say that she “kicked people out of a restaurant”. She booked the restaurant to film inside as nearly all politicians do. The restaurant, that had of course agreed in advance, was closed to the public as they always are when there is a private event. If you’re in a restaurant and it is closing for a private event, you can’t stay I will remind you that when Trump famously entered politics with his descent down the gold escalator, it was to a crowd of cheering paid actors. And let’s not forget when George W Bush planted a fake reporter in the White House press corps “Jame Gannon” (real name Jeff Guckert, a gay porn website administrator) to lob dumbass softball questions like “are Democrats crazy or jus stupid?” Political theatre is part of American politics and Kamala’s appearance is not out of line with the staged appearances that every American (and probably Canadian) politician does during every election.
