Broadly yes.
It's irrelevant anyway since such matters aren't decided by the President.
It's going full on Handmaid's Tale over there. I don't think we are quite heading that way just yet in the UK.
Have you heard about this latest bill they are trying to pass over there?Forced Outing, where a school or teacher has to tell parents without their consent if they are using pronouns instead of he/she etc. It will be the same if some child declares themselves to be gay next.

About half way down the page.
Forced Outing? Both those words separately even conjure up a bit of Hitler Youth about them.
No, not the same thing. Just stating how America is going.To be honest if my kid starts showing signs of something that’s got lots of mental health comorbidities and is linked with off brand drug use and decreased life chances I’d like to know about it. Schools shouldn’t keep secrets from parents for kids IMO.
I’m not sure being gay is even close to the same thing TBH. Ones a medical condition the other a sexuality.
No, they’re decided by the Supreme Court (which is appointed by the president), by Congress (which the president can veto), and by state governors (which DeSantis currently is)Broadly yes.
It's irrelevant anyway since such matters aren't decided by the President.
No it isn't. Individual judges can be nominated for the post by a president only when a vacancy becomes available (which is not very often) but then have to be approved by the senate. It's entirely possible for a president to serve a full term with a totally hostile supreme court.No, they’re decided by the Supreme Court (which is appointed by the president)
So not irrelevant then?No it isn't. Individual judges can be nominated for the post by a president only when a vacancy becomes available (which is not very often) but then have to be approved by the senate. It's entirely possible for a president to serve a full term with a totally hostile supreme court.
And if the incumbent party is the same as the president's then chances are they'll wave them through.No it isn't. Individual judges can be nominated for the post by a president only when a vacancy becomes available (which is not very often) but then have to be approved by the senate. It's entirely possible for a president to serve a full term with a totally hostile supreme court.
Like Biden is? When Ruth Baden Ginsberg died 38 days before Trump left office he took the unusual step of rushing her replacement through with someone who favours him. Trump had control of the Senate, only one voting Republican senator rebelled so she was appointed against tradition of an outgoing president leaving it for the incoming president. If you were being cynical you’d say Trump knew that he’d be facing the Supreme Court at some point so took the opportunity to break with tradition so he could attempt to stack the cards in his favour.No it isn't. Individual judges can be nominated for the post by a president only when a vacancy becomes available (which is not very often) but then have to be approved by the senate. It's entirely possible for a president to serve a full term with a totally hostile supreme court.
Fucking hell.Wow, a lot of you are completely clueless on American policy, culture and it's constitution. I've lived and owned business's in the USA in southern states where things are a lot different to anything in the north or California. If some of you can't see what's going on and prefer to listen to the MSM for your information then I feel sorry for you. What is it they say? You need to live in a country to undertsand it.
I have a couple from the southern states in my hotel right now. His words to me were "if they come for my guns" I'll shout them first. He is a church goer. Just try and understand that.

Why the personal insult?You're a genuine nutter!
Not trueClinton banned semi automatic weapons and gun deaths declined.
Did your hotel freind shoot anyone over it?
Not true
Not true!Yes it is.
Mass shootings declined for a decade and spiked almost immediately when the ban ended.
You're trying to defend the indefensible.
Not true!
It did not ban all assult weapons. The debate on any effectiveness is still debated today. Too many loopholes in the bill. It was around the early 90's I beleive, when I was in Texas, so remember it well. Go research. It also lasted only 10 years. No such ban now.
@Paxman II what would you consider a decent source to get news from?
I'd actually like to know as so many in the USA and UK parrot the MSM quote.Billy Jo from Montana on you tube

Yeah definitely but the likes of Fox and GB News are both part of the MSM, it just seems to be used to label something that disagrees with their views and as though there's some kind of conspiracy going on.It's far from perfect undoubtedly, but the idea that the likes of GB News are more accurate is laughable.
It's such a lazy trope isn't it. Surprised he hasn't added woke to the clichés...Yeah definitely but the likes of Fox and GB News are both part of the MSM, it just seems to be used to label something that disagrees with their views and as though there's some kind of conspiracy going on.

His point being however that Fox is mainstream even if they probably shouldn't be licensed to be, so the MSM parrot is stuck out by clueless buffoons who don't actually b have an argument.Well GB News got away with an ofcom breach because they said it wasn't a news channel.
And fox made an incredible fuck up in a report the other day, I cant remember what it was but amateur didn't do it justice.
Tom Bower, (think it was him), was was funny on GB news the other day, eulogisig about Johnson when midway through his nonsense they broke to announce Johnson had resigned.
To be fair the DeSantis supporters seem a nice bunch, who wouldn't want him running for president

I knowHe did in an earlier comment:
"They are scared of the man who would rescue America's slide into woke, debt ridden reality under a demented President".
Ahh!I know
And that last paragraph should tell you everything you need to know about how fucked up it is.Wow, a lot of you are completely clueless on American policy, culture and it's constitution.
