[Check out the next advance in AI generated video as demonstrated by Sora, OpenAI’s text-to-video model.  The technology has now advanced to where the machine can create a realistic and natural looking video from a textual description as its only input.  Take a look at some samples here.  So, during this election year what would Biden have Trump say, and conversely, what would Trump have Biden say to the American people?  (H/T to correspondent)  gjr]

    Oh well, it’s from this sort of headline:
    “LEADER JEFFRIES: “EXTREME MAGA REPUBLICANS WANT TO CRIMINALIZE ABORTION CARE”
    ‘Extreme MAGA’. I kind of like that. ‘MAGA’ wasn’t enough for people who are worse than Hitler, ‘EXTREME MAGA’. Soon to be followed by ‘ULTRA EXTREME TURBO MAGA’ as the election looms and the trolling on rage sites increases.
    What I always like about the red meat issue of abortion (so to speak) for Democratic Wimmen and their simps, the most vocal being post-menopausal women naturally, is that they never seem to get upset about something like abortion law in Denmark.
    “Under Danish law, the patient must be over the age of 18 to decide on an abortion alone; parental consent is required for minors, except in special circumstances. An abortion can be performed after 12 weeks if the woman’s life or health are in danger.” (Wikipedia)
    To be fair, Democrats appear to be more pro-freedom for individuals. Children of any age should be able to demand permanent body reconstruction, with the nudging along of Democrat-run school boards, non-profits, local government, and abortion should be legal up until five seconds before birth regardless of reason. In places like Oregon, I’m not really sure what the rule is for defining a human. Breathing? Head visible? First social media account?

    The marketing team is getting really worked up….”‘ULTRA EXTREME TURBO MAGA’ now with a full 60% moar MAGA”!
    This summer should be epic!

    as an aside, abortion in Germany:

    Abortion in Germany during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy will not be punished under the law if the condition of mandatory counseling is fulfilled. The same goes later in pregnancy in cases that the pregnancy poses an important danger to the physical or mental health of the pregnant woman. In the case that the abortion is because of a rape mandatory counseling is not mandatory. The woman needs to receive counseling, called Schwangerschaftskonfliktberatung (“pregnancy-conflict counseling”), at least three days prior to the abortion and must take place at a state-approved centre, which afterwards gives the applicant a Beratungsschein (“certificate of counseling”).
    Doctors provide medication to cause the abortion, and observe to ensure there are no negative reactions to the medication.
    Law
    Abortion is illegal under Section 218 of the German criminal code, and punishable by up to three years in prison (or up to five years for “reckless” abortions or those against the pregnant woman’s will). Section 218a of the German criminal code, called Exception to liability for abortion, makes an exception for abortions with counseling in the first trimester, and for medically necessary abortions and abortions due to unlawful sexual acts (such as sexual abuse of a minor or rape) thereafter.[1][2]

    All abortions in Germany must be performed by a medical doctor

    Imagine the fuss if you required Schwangerschaftskonfliktberatung in the US. It’s funny how far US Democrats have pushed the abortion issue.

    Get woke go broke –
    Let us now add Vice to the list of left-wing outlets to crash and burn of late: the Messenger, BuzzFeed News, and Jezebel have all closed entirely. The Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, and CNNLOL have all slashed up to hundreds of jobs.

    Could the pendulum have swung back to reality in the shithole by the bay? –
    Apoll of San Francisco voters found shifting attitudes toward more conservative policies after years of rising crime, homelessness, and other issues.
    Majorities now support increased police funding/surveillance, drug testing for welfare, and tax incentives for businesses amid vacant downtown streets
