B-Man Posted May 6, 2022 Posted May 6, 2022 The Left Is Here: Pro-Abortion Group Doxxes 6 GOP-Nominated Supreme Court Justices After Roe Leak by Victoria Taft A radical pro-abortion renta-mob has now doxxed — published the addresses and personal information of six justices of the U.S. Supreme Court — and offered to pay protesters to “peacefully” do a “walk by,” camp out in front of their homes, and do “art.”One could safely conclude that mob rule has come to the U.S. Supreme Court, that is if the mob at the Kavanaugh hearings hadn’t disabused you of that notion already. A newly formed astroturf group called Ruth Sent Us, ironically referring to Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who thought the Roe v. Wade decision was improperly based, has now threatened the very security of the six GOP-nominated justices https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/victoria-taft/2022/05/05/the-left-is-here-pro-abortion-group-doxxes-6-gop-nominated-supreme-court-justices-after-roe-leak-n1595598 .

Governor Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) On 5/5/2022 at 3:37 PM, Delete_Account said: Mr. Governor, I have always respected your political acumen, so I ask you: do you think we can reach the necessary Senate numbers in November?? The economy and inflation is still going to take precedence over social issues for many (if not most) voters. California, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, Colorado, Illinois, Maryland, New York, Connecticut, Vermont, and New Hampshire? Sure. That gets us to 47. Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida?? All of these would get us to a more comfortable 55, but I’d say each one is far from guaranteed. But even if we get up to 55, will the Senate Democrats actually have the courage this time to end the filibuster and pass the Women’s Health Protection Act in January? And even if it passes, will the Democrats down the line have the temerity for court packing if the conservative Supreme Court attempts to kill the bill? This, of course, is predicated on the assumption that the Democrats would hold Congress and the Presidency in 2024 and beyond…a huge uncertainty. In the meantime, two things that we have great control over: 1. Continued support and promotion of organizations like The Brigid Alliance that help low-income and other disadvantaged women stuck in backward red states. 2. Targeted campaign organizing on campuses and working-class neighborhoods. I don’t have faith that democrats will do any of those things. I do think we’ll narrowly hold the senate and it very well may be Fetterman who saves our majority, which means we’ll be dealing with even more moderates moving forward. Florida is gone. We have no shot there. As a party, I don’t want to see a lot of money wasted there. I’d rather see it used in Georgia and NC. I would like to believe that Mark Kelly in Arizona will survive but I’ve still been hibernating and haven’t really looked closely at any of these races yet. Everyone is awake now! GFY Red States! Red states, go fund yourself! Edited May 7, 2022 by Governor 1

Red states, go fund yourself! Okay, thanks for the opinions! Much appreciated. On the progressive side: I’ve been texting my NYC peeps for updates on both the local and national scene. Incumbent grassroots campaign coffers are supposedly rapidly filling and third party enthusiasm seems to have collapsed practically overnight. There’s little chatter anymore about any so-called “hostile takeover” of the Democratic Party. Weeks ago, Nina Turner’s loss in Ohio would have enraged a lot of progressives. But now? Everyone seems laser-focused on collaborating to destroy our common enemy first, and it’s hard for me to disagree with that strategy these days. Maybe I’m also a bit afraid of Julia Salazar scolding me again over my Green Party dalliances lol… The KEY factor by November is going to be the mobilization of college students and young professionals. Fear is a powerful motivator and maybe the most powerful one. If Roe v. Wade is overturned before the election, I think millions of normally apathetic voters are going to witness and freak out over the absurdly restrictive (and punitive!) abortion laws that immediately go into effect in many of the backward red states. The horrific impracticality of managing all the accompanying interstate legal discrepancies will likely become quickly apparent, too. And prospective voters with even the most modest capacities for foresight will soon reason that millions of forced pregnancies to go with a negligible social safety net is a recipe for societal chaos. Election day voter turnout and polling data should ultimately guide any Dem decisions on ending the filibuster and packing the courts. Normally I am against using these strong-arm tactics, but not in special cases of voter mandates. Besides, any lingering notions of honor and civility in American political discourse are dead now. It’s time we acknowledge that reality and instead just prioritize enacting good public policy.

I think back to how I felt before the last midterms and how surprised I was when people actually showed up to vote. My gut tells me that social media, millennials reaching “reliable voter” age, etc. has permanently changed the midterm electorate in Dems favor, and media, strategists are still viewing things through a 2010 lens. 1
