He could pack the court, he could get around it by allowing military hospitals to provide abortion care, he could funding from states that ban it and tell the SCOTUS to enforce it when they rule against him.
We’ve seen what happens when a president ignores SCOTUS orders under trump: Absolutely nothing.
It’ll genuinely be interesting what kind of difference the DNC can make with that cash.
I’d expect Biden not accomplishing anything that animated people in 2020, letting the abortion ban get passed, facilitating genocide, and banning tiktok will decrease turnout among his constitutions, but 2:1 is a pretty big difference.
The fact that they ever considered an apartheid state a democracy proves their judgement is worthless.
Nah, they also depict Henry Kissinger that way, but we all know he’s dragging what’s left of his body across a minefield in hell.
They’re politically unpopular, more expensive than fossil fuels, and most of them are prototypes.
India and China each have one. Russia has 3.

The U.S. Senate voted 80 to 15 on Thursday to impose a tentative contract deal reached in September on a dozen unions representing 115,000 workers, who could have gone on strike on Dec. 9.
The deal referenced was an offer by the board. Biden signed it.
The guy getting charged was a high up member of the CPC.
I kinda expected a harsher sentence than a fine, a ban from the party, and ban from ever doing business again given that the guy not only defrauded millions, but betrayed the public trust.

The only thing that saved Meta/Web3 from creating a special hell where digital rent seeking pervades all social interaction is that capitalism is too advanced at this point to create a market before trying to squeeze every last drop of blood out of it.
He literally required them to accept the board’s offer. The company offering minor concessions afterword doesn’t change the fact that he sided against the workers.
I cannot conceive of how the leadership could both represent their workers and be happy Biden sided with the board, against the workers.
The unions wanted 15 sick days, Biden forced them to accept the company’s offer of 1 day unpaid sickleave. Later it was increased to 7, plus a wage increase of 14%+4.5% per year for 5 years. That doesn’t even keep up with inflation.
Biden could have simply ordered the railroad to accept the union’s demands, hell he could have nationalized the rail companies in question, but his job is to represent capital, not labor.
To put into perspective how much of a pittance this is, BNSF is so profitable, they could afford to give every worker a raise of 100,000 and still afford to give Warren Buffet a billion dollars every year. This is the equivalent of Trump giving the .1% billions in tax breaks and telling workers they should support him because they get an extra 12 bucks in their tax returns.
The guy who broke the strike of an absurdly profitable rail company?
I mean it’s a choice between open contempt for the workers, and open contempt, but occasionally putting on a union hat for a photo op before either doing nothing or siding with management.

I mean sure, that’s true of every state. But guys in custody rarely get suicided when a trial will have the desired outcome.
Executing a guy who caused a property bubble that caused such a huge loss of wealth for so many people seems like a desirable outcome for China; other capitalists will take note and do less fraud, and the workers will feel the system works.
What do you think would happen to the dem’s popularity if in 2008, Obama dragged the executives of Wells Fargo and Bank of America out and shot them infront of the millions whose homes they stole via predatory lending and outright mortgage fraud, instead of giving them a slap on the wrist and a shitton of money?

I kinda wonder whether they bother generating new maps, or if they just recolor the “always the same map” map:
