Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

To be fair, that headline could be about literally hundreds of different candidates for federal office at any given day 🤷
I disagree. Abortion is a massive issue. For some people, it will be the one big issue that sways their votes. I think most politicians in the U.S. understand that repeated flip flopping on abortion is a good way to throw your credibility down the drain.
If we were talking about most other issues, I would agree, with the caveat that many politicians try to have more ambiguous positions and flip flop less frequently.
I meant the headline "Lying liar lies a lot"
who?
Election denier who lost the Arizona governor’s race and is now running for Senate and probably going to lose that and make wild fraud claims again.
Washed up TV anchor turned Trumpite in order to try to win an election.
What hurts me a lot is that this bitch peddles lies and probably owns a house or three. I work my ass off every day and will never be able to. Literally the hard working person these chucklefucks talk about, along with countless others I see every day. This is the new paradigm. The guiding light at the bottom of the toilet. We'll lie ourselves into oblivion.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“This total ban on abortion that the Arizona Supreme Court has ruled on is out of line with where the people of this state are,” said Lake in a video posted to X on April 11th.
“We know that some women are economically in a horrible situation, they might be in an abusive relationship, they might be the victim of rape,” Lake went on in the video explaining her opposition to the 1864 ban.
In 2022, while she was running for governor of Arizona, Lake called the law a “great law.” Her likely Democratic opponent for retiring Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s seat, Rep. Ruben Gallego, seized on those comments in an advertisement last week.
Back on the campaign trail in Scottsdale, Arizona, just a few days later, during a town hall that was supposed to be focused on housing, the moderator, a real estate agent named Jason Mitchell, asked Lake, “Can you explain your shift on abortion from Civil War law to now?”
Mayes, the state attorney general in Arizona, is expected to face legal challenges should she block prosecutions under the abortion ban.
The Arizona Supreme Court’s ruling makes abortion a felony punishable by two to five years in prison for anyone who performs one or helps a woman obtain one, and it could take effect as early as June 8, according to Mayes' office.
The original article contains 659 words, the summary contains 225 words. Saved 66%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
According to Her and people like Her it's ONLY Unfortunate that they CAN'T STOP MURDER!
