Yup. It's the same #StrategyGroup! Wow!

Gov. #KristiNoem and the culture of #collusion in #SouthDakota

#FreedomWorksHere escaped legislative oversight but the saga raises larger concerns about the validity of competitive bidding and the stomach of state lawmakers.

By Patrick Lalley, Feb 19, 2024

Excerpt: "The seeds of the contract are found in the hiring of The Strategy Group as a media consultant for #Noem’s re-election campaign in 2022.

"The CEO of that company is #BenYoho, but he’s not the biggest fish in Ohio.
That’s #RexElsass, the founder and chairman of the board, an infamous figure in Ohio politics. We don’t have the time or space to go into Mr. Elsass’ backstory but it’s colorful, controversial and worth more than we’ll give it here.
The Strategy Group is one of a handful of firms doing media work for the big names of #Republican politics, including #Trump, #Pence, several governors and many members of Congress."

Perhaps; but Trump will go down on Putin.

Trump told Pence ‘you’ll go down as a wimp’ in January 6 phone call, book says

@KrissyKat @LaNaehForaday @amydiehl Oh yes, I remember that. I remember the gymnastics #Pence went through trying to explain how the #RFRA wasn’t discrimination. That was supposed to be his political death sentence, until it wasn’t.

Let's hope we don't have to break these #Captcha 's out again in 4 years

I remember what I saw on #Jan6th
#January6thInsurrection was on the television, *live*

#Congress went into lockdown & #Pence knew better than to get into the car they sent for him 👀😬

#MoscowMitch called it disgraceful & many #Corporations suspended #donations to the #GOP

However #CorporateMedia massages this history, I was a witness & I will never forget

If you choose fascism over freedom you are garbage.

If you happen to be born in Puerto Rico you are an American.

If you hate Latinos because they are Latinos you are garbage.

The only way to make America great is to stop tolerating fascist scum.

Trump supporters murdered Heather Heyer. They are garbage.

Trump supporters attacked the Capitol chanting "Hang Mike Pence!" They are garbage.

#JackSmith filing p.142 (cont.)

“Upon receiving a phone call alerting him that #Pence had been taken to a secure location, P15 [Nicholas Luna, WH aide] rushed to the dining room to inform the defendant in hopes that the defendant would take action to ensure Pence's safety. Instead, after PI5 delivered the news, the defendant looked at him & said only, "#SoWhat?".

#DementiaDon was SO proud of himself for beating #Harris to the punch with:

"I'm speaking. Sound familiar?"

#Harris, of course, told #Pence that when he interrupted her during the 2020 VP debate.

But T**** has a LONG history of believing he's the first person to ever think of a particular thing, so he had to add "Sound familiar?" to #Mansplain her own line to her. #Debate #misogyny

"In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump," Dick Cheney said. "He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him. He can never be trusted with power again."

Any reasonable person should come to the same conclusion.

I do not think the #GOP can recover.

Anti-abortion advocates worked for five decades to topple Roe v. Wade.

♦️They’re now laying the groundwork for a yearslong fight to curb #in #vitro #fertilization.♦️

Since the Alabama Supreme Court ruled last month that frozen embryos are children, the #Heritage #Foundation and other conservative groups have been strategizing how to
👉convince not just #GOP officials but #evangelicals broadly that they should have serious 🔸moral concerns about fertility treatments like #IVF 🔸and that #access to them should be #curtailed.

In short, they want to re-run the Roe playbook.

They plan to appeal to evangelical denominations and their leaders to take a firm stance that IVF as practiced in the U.S. destroys human life.

That, they hope, will reshape how conservative Christians
— and in turn, the officials they elect
— view the issue, just as it did on abortion.

Ultimately, it could lead to laws that create a patchwork of IVF access in the United States, where the procedure is more accessible in liberal states and more limited in conservative ones.

“We’re at a junction where we could see a similar generational shift
— where people begin to consider reproductive technologies not as a separate but as a part of their cohesive pro-life framework,” said #Emma #Waters, a senior research associate at the #Heritage #Foundation.

“Many of these pro-life Republicans are going to have to think more deeply about what it means to be pro-life.”

⭐️IVF is broadly popular, according to public polling, in a way abortion never was. ⭐️

👉But a plan is already in motion to chip away at that support.

Organizations including Heritage, former Vice President #Mike #Pence’s group Advancing American Freedom, and the #Southern #Baptist #Convention’s public advocacy-focused #Ethics and #Religious #Liberty #Commission have worked behind the scenes over the last few weeks to distribute talking points,
circulate policy recommendations and
educate Republican officials and their staff about their #ethical #concerns with how IVF is commonly practiced in the United States.

The groups are not advocating banning IVF but want🔹 new restrictions 🔹that would significantly curtail access to the procedure,
such as imposing more regulations on fertility clinics,
limiting the number of embryos that can be created or transferred to the uterus at one time,
and banning pre-implantation genetic testing,
which they argue allows parents to discriminate against their embryos on the basis of sex, disabilities like Down Syndrome or other factors.

At the same time, they have been having conversations within their conservative Christian circles that have revealed how much work they need to do to convince evangelicals that there are ethical problems with the procedure.

Most evangelical denominations have not taken firm stances on restricting fertility services like IVF.

Officer #Fanone is despised by the #GOP for attempting to protect the #Capitol instead of allowing #insurrectionists to #execute Mike #Pence and Nancy #Pelosi in order to install election loser Donald #Trump as #dictator.

@DemocracyMattersALot
In a way, I kind of feel sorry for #MikePence.

#Trump is a #ChaoticEvil grifter who will say or do whatever he thinks will bring him more power. No principles whatsoever, apart from the pursuit of power for its own sake. He doesn't actually believe in anything at all, and for him, objective truth is merely an obstacle in his path, which he must overcome through the use of propaganda, extortion, violence, and corruption.

Meanwhile, #Pence is a true believer. He literally believes that God is calling him personally to lead the nation on a path of righteousness, like #JoanOfArc or #Gideon. It's really sad, because he's a guy with an incredibly strong sense of morality and steadfast adherence to principles, but he's got them all wrong. He's like a #LawfulGood #Paladin who thinks he's been sent on a crusade by #Pelor to rescue the world from evil, but the deity he thought was Pelor was actually just #Nerull in disguise.

Former Vice President Mike #Pence tells CBS News that he's "closing the door" on testifying before the #Jan6 #committee. “#Congress has #noright to my #testimony,” he tells @margbrennan. Really? The #AmericanPeople #do #have #theright to #hear your #testimony
