It's happening, I know the guy who supplies the bunny suits (37th year in a row) and he said a couple of days ago that it's on.

No they wouldn't. They believe in the strict patriarchal family structures and banning abortion is one means to exert greater control over women.
Also in Nazi Germany having children was scene as a patriotic duty.

Or as Kayleigh McEnany put it the facts on the ground are changing and Trump is reacting to that.
Shit, was hoping he'd make it through in round one. Well, looks like we'll all be making more calls.

The margin of error is so high in special election polls, so Ossoff could still make it through round one
The range of outcomes is pretty big

Just talked with a person who referred to Trump as "ideologically fluid."
It's an interesting term to be sure.

I don't really know at this point. There is a lot of talk so far with people on all sides.
That's just a positive way of saying ideologically vacant.
Heh, Teen Vogue catalogs the ways Ivanka got ripped for tweeting support for libraries while her father's budget cuts all kinds of support for them.
Someone wake me up when the Trump administration actually pushes a policy that she publicly champions. For now, she just keeps doing the same shit as during the campaign. Claiming to endorse policies and institutions that her father either doesn't care about or wants to actively dismantle.
Edit: Shit, I had the same exact idea of terminology as above and took too long posting!

I think someone in the OT thread said it was business as usual for the people living there.

I think someone in the OT said that people are not worried, but I could be wrong.
Heh, our local Boston Fox affiliate is dropping "Fox" from the name of their newscast because they believe it was responsible for lower ratings.

Young people seem particularly nonplussed.
PRI's The World: If youre young and South Korean, North Korea might not seem so scary
PRI's The World: Some Americans are panicking about North Korea. Heres why South Koreans arent.
They're concerned with domestic issues, and they're very divorced from the idea of North Korea as an active threat.
Your hustle definitely shouldn't be lessened from the typical Friday.

The worst thing that can is we have war on the Korean peninsula.

With that attitude, you should never not be trying to get laid.
I don't think I'd like that.

It would be a bad weekend to nuke LA because everyone you'd want to kill is at Coachella.
Now with even less to laugh about.

The US could try to take down whatever NK fires once it leaves NK airspace. NK couldn't proceed to attack anyone as a result of that. The US could easily justify their action by saying they have no proof that such tests might not be preemptive attacks.

Choice Quote from the article: "But a U.S. military official, who requested anonymity to discuss planning, said the U.S. doesn't intend to use military force against North Korea in response to either a nuclear test or a missile launch. The official said plans could change in the unlikely event a North Korean missile targets South Korea, Japan or U.S. territory."
Seems they are sort of staying the course with NK and wanting China to start applying more pressure.

Trump's going to look like such a wuss if he doesn't attack after a weapons test now, though. This is why random threats are significant. Standing back and saying "well, I didn't mean we'd step for China NOW, I just meant eventually" would be hilarious/pathetic.I want to think he's been sat down and actually explained what the situation is over there, but after Syria bombing done on a whim (and to try to impress the Chinese who I guess Trump thought had never seen cruise missiles before) I don't expect any level of restraint any more.
I mean you can imagine a scenario where China admonishes tests and Trump claims he negotiated a stronger position on NK in relation to China. His ego can be quenched without war.

Wow, insane that Dems are going into eDay with a voter registration edge. Ossoff campaign did work today.
EDIT:
Let's assume turnout is at 130k and that Ossoff is getting 57.5% of the EV (a 13% spread). EV is 54,817.
He'd need 65,001 votes to win.
He'd net 31,520 votes from the EV, he needs 33,481 votes to win.
75,183 votes on day of.
He needs 44.5% of the eDay vote to hit that, meaning that it'd be R+11. That's fairly reasonable, given how much of Dekalb hasn't voted and how barely-R the district was day of on eDay (Trump +4/5).
@Nate_Cohn
The GA-6 in-person early vote is done.
Today: D 35, R 43
Over all: D 41.1, R 40.8 with 54817 votes counted
@Nate_Cohn
IDK if it will win it for Ossoff. But by our estimates, Clinton would have won ~57% of these voters. It's a very Dem early vote for this CD.
@Nate_Cohn
The good news for Rs: a lot of reliable R vote to come.
The good news for Ds: a lot of irregular voters (at midterm levels in ~20% range)

I saw a poll today that showed Trump approval in GA-06 above 50 percent. I don't think the people there want to send him a message.

C- pollster Opinion Savvy has Trump at 54/45 on district level polling.
I mean, we'll see.

Meh plenty of people split their tickets because they think it'll provide checks and balances. And the Trump voters aren't the ones motivated to turn out for a special election.

Fake convictions.
GA-06's the kind of district that might approve of Trump more than the national average. It is the wealthiest district in the south, and it's more white than the state on average. Ossoff has a real chance but there are swing voters in this district that probably don't like a Trump but are worried that Ossoff would vote to raise their taxes.
Overturned Obama's rule, as near as I can tell. This piece goes into the details better:
How Title X change could affect family planning in US
And yet I'm sure they would scream that Hillary didn't have any constant position or policies. The cognitive dissonance within the GOP/Trump base is appalling and terrifying in equal parts.

Yeah this.
It'd be kind of funny if Ossoff doesn't do much better than Thompson, though it also wouldn't be funny because then we wouldn't have another House seat. The current strategy of calling him a terrorist won't work though I don't think.
