Liberal Redneck - Takeaways from the VP Debate

@#1 ... he's actually
pretty good at talking when he's been
programmed to do so but here's the
problem while a lot of the things JD
said tonight may have sounded all well
and good they were in fact all dumb and
bad

that's right the boy knows how to
polish a turd right he gussied up a lot
of 'em tonight yes he did ...

Yeah, that was pretty much my overall view of the debate as well.

Sen Vance was good at the smooth-talking to cover the lack of substance and deflection of most of his answers.

Project 2025: what does the rightwing blueprint say about abortion? (August 2024)
www.theguardian.com

... Project 2025, the wishlist for a Trump 2.0 administration drawn up by the influential thinktank the Heritage Foundation, proposes mobilizing an array of government agencies to curb access to abortion " up to and including a national ban on abortion pills that would affect even states that protect abortion rights.

Backed by more than 100 conservative organizations, the 922-page Project 2025 has become notorious in recent weeks as Kamala Harris has started bringing it up at rallies. Donald Trump has tried to distance himself from its many proposals, claiming he doesn't know anything about Project 2025 and has "no idea who is behind it" " even though his administration's officials wrote chunks of it. While the director of the blueprint stepped down last week, a move that the Trump campaign celebrated and that leaves its future operations unclear, the policy ideas endure and closely align with Trump's platform.

"The Dobbs decision [overturning Roe v Wade] is just the beginning," Project 2025 reads. "Conservatives in the states and in Washington, including in the next conservative administration, should push as hard as possible to protect the unborn in every jurisdiction in America."

Project 2025 takes direct aim at abortion pills, indicates that fetuses should have legal rights, and seeks to expand "surveillance" of abortion while eliminating government support for the procedure. In its architects' view, abortion is not healthcare and should never be treated as such.

"Project 2025's whole-of-government approach to dismantling reproductive rights by weaponizing federal agencies and consolidating executive branch power is unprecedented " and goes against most Americans' wishes," said Caroline Ciccone, president of the watchdog group Accountable.US, which has been studying the plan.

Here are some of the proposals that could rewrite abortion access in the US: ...

Yeah, I see, and understand what you are saying.

But I am not yet there with the outcome.
