   Hammer it home, never stop.

   Pres #Biden: "Let's be absolutely clear what Trump's bragging about. The only reason there is an #abortion ban in America is because of Donald #Trump.  The only reason teenagers in Ohio are being forced to travel out of state to get their healthcare is because of Donald Trump. The only reason a fundamental right has been stripped away from the American people for the first time in American history is because of Donald Trump."

     Ascmuch as I would like to agree...

     "The only reason a fundamental right has been stripped away from the American people for the first time in American history is because of Donald Trump."

     As much as I would like to agree, this is not correct.
     #TFG did not plan to hijack #SCOTUS decades ago, the real enabler of this disastrous development.

     @HistoPol Biden's running against Trump. Trump appointed the justices who ruled on this.

     He's not going to do a campaign speech on the history of Roe.

     I am not saying he should be.

     I'm saying he is giving #TFG too much credit for this misdeed, though I understand the motivation.

     "Trump's White House worked virtually hand in glove with the organization and then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to confirm over 200 federal judges."*

     If one person is to be names, it is #McConnell or, #LeonardLeo, (#FederalistSociety**) TFG eventually was just in the right place @ the right time.***

     What is more, #TFG would not even have become president if it hadn't been for the #FederalistSociety. ***It would probably be a step too fa4 to say that he was their pawn, but making him the architect is not correct.

     Truth matters, even in presidential elections and, in particular, if the other side uses lies and every dirty...

     @sepfeiffer
     I can agree with your take...except that it is not just 50 but rather 150 years in some regards and an alternate reality in some cases. 😉

     @GottaLaff @HistoPol
     Laffy is 100% correct about the messaging. It cannot go too far for most Americans to acknowledge.

     I do agree 100% that there were much smarter minds with really deep pockets that moved our country backwards fifty years.

     @HistoPol Then you missed my point.
