    I wish that more Republicans were so honest, instead of talking about their patriotism and familiy values and Chistianity and whatnot.

    Some Democrats are finally realizing the asymmetric warfare, horrible positions that Rs take on social issues & their outrageous candidates in the Trump Error are just window dressing for the real string pullers of the GOP - billionaires and their front groups like the Federalist Society and dozens of others. We may be able to win hearts & minds, but in my lifetime skullduggery and cash have won the day for the GOP. They are really good at. Maybe when I'm old things will flip but I'm not very hopeful.

    What I love is even when they try to be <funny? flippant?> they fail.
    "abort endangered baby eagles", also known as breaking the egg, I presume.

    take your pick

    If it is done on federal/state property, this triggers another few regulations depending on the species.

    It's just funny the example they chose would be a federal crime. Thats some serious subconscious work at play.

    They want abortion to be a federal crime as well, so in their mind that part of the example was appropriate.

    I think his phrasing was both deliberate and accurate -- he would be happy to commit a federal crime to get Republicans in control of the Senate.

    50 paid abortions won't sway any Republicans. Trump stripped away the shame factor for all R pols.

    I just read about a poll in which Warnock opened a decent lead (51-40 IIRC) but there’s always the chance that republicans stopped answering polls and/or just change their vote back to GQP on November 8th.

    Eagles also have their own specific law, the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act.

    It wouldn't be so bad, had we not been subjected to so many years of pious lies.
