Mark Meadows’ life would be so much better today had Trump fired him for leaking to the press the details about how sick Trump was when he had COVID in October, 2020.

thesun.co.uk/news/12843307/…
My theory is that because he knew Trump was mad at him for letting the world know, clumsily and on background, how sick Trump was, Meadows tried to worm his way back into Trump’s good graces by becoming a super-flunkie. Doing whatever Trump wanted in trying to undo the election.
If Trump had fired Meadows in 2020, he would have simply been the fourth WH Chief of Staff to leave the Trump Administration in less than four years. Life would have gone on. His predecessor, Mick Mulvaney, got a job.
Also, after Madison Cawthorn flamed out in #NC11, Meadows easily could have run for his old House seat and got his old job back.
But now Mark Meadows is almost certainly going to go to prison at some point. His life savings is probably going to be drained a lot by legal expenses as well as any possible civil liability he faces. His once respected name is going to be tarnished forever.

Another point on the January 6th House Select Committee and the hacks who call it “partisan.”
In addition to the original offer for a FULLY BIPARTISAN Commission (which, by the way, would have already been over by now) - the GOP voted against it (smart move, guys) - there could have been an almost evenly divided committee.

But, again, McCarthy said no.
Pelosi picked 7 members - 6 Democrats and Republican Liz Cheney - and then gave McCarthy a chance to pick 5 members.

He did pick 5 members. She rejected 2 of them, including Jim Jordan, who may have been involved and never gave the full story of his talks with Trump on 1/6.

Here’s the logical flaw in Biden’s suggestion that Congress can just pass a law to, in his words, “codify Roe.”

Even if they had enough votes to do that, the Supreme Court could just strike that law down as being unconstitutional.
The only way that there will ever be a true national policy on abortion, one way or the other, that is not dependent on the Supreme Court is if there were a Constitutional Amendment that declared abortion either legal or illegal.

Otherwise, it’s subject to interpretation.
The Judicial branch interprets the Constitution and has the power to invalidate actions taken by the Executive and Legislative branch.

The Executive branch nominates the Federal Judiciary with the advice and consent of the Senate.

Starting today, the majority (5) of the Justices on the U.S. Supreme Court will be people who were confirmed by the U.S. Senate by a margin of five or fewer Senate votes, which, in term, were decided by a small number of US Citizens’ votes. In elections in which many didn’t vote.
In addition, 3 of the 9 Justices were nominated by Presidents who won election to the terms during which they were nominated despite losing the popular vote.

They were nominated because the President won a few votes in a few places. In elections where many didn’t vote.
Voting ABSOLUTELY determines the composition of the US Supreme Court.

And a lot of people get mad when people criticize low voter participation and respond with “Well, I DID vote!” But occasionally voting in a Presidential election isn’t the point.

Being pregnant is not a sin.

Pregnancy is a biological event that can happen after a man and a woman have sex.

Unless the human in the womb is miscarried, aborted or stillborn, the result will be the birth of a live baby.

Who needs to eat. And needs clothes, housing and care.
The mother needs neonatal care during pregnancy. Both the mother and the baby need health care after birth.

Most parents work hard to try to provide and acquire all these things. But some people can’t afford them no matter how hard they work or try.
Here’s the thing right now - and it doesn’t matter what your position is on abortion.

There are a lot of people who are in need. Needs that they can’t address no matter how hard they try. This is a societal problem. Which requires us ALL to work together to figure out solutions.
