These performative bills are so dumb; you can't shame the shameless. Republicans are open hypocrites. You think they care about this?
Push laws for actual protections against people being hurt
Absolutely will not happen in Ohio, the only way the statehouse could do anything beneficial for it's citizens would be to have a massive gas leak
They are too busy hurting people.
They aren't trying to shame anyone. They are just trying to get thier own names on the news. You mistake these poloticians for people who care about others.
This isn't performative. It's part of the plan. Porn and non-nuclear child-rearing families are absolutely in the crosshairs once they clear out the judicial "interference" and suspend habeus corpus.
Here's the introduction (aka "Pillar I") to the plan currently being implemented: https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_FULL.pdf
Some highlights:
From page 20 of the project: "Vought (officially in charge of OMB after being confirmed recently) writes that the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) should establish a “reputation as the keeper of ‘commander’s intent,’”"
From page 21: " In Chapter 1, former deputy chief of staff to the President Rick Dearborn writes that the White House Counsel “must take seriously the duty to protect the powers and privileges of the President from encroachments by Congress, the judiciary, and the administrative components of departments and agencies.”
Page 28: "When a new President takes office, he will need to decide expeditiously how to handle any major ongoing litigation or other pending legal matters that might present a challenge to his agenda"...", the President should hire a counsel with extensive experience with a wide range of complex legal subjects. Moreover, while a candidate with elite credentials might seem ideal, the best one will be above all loyal to the President"
Page 32, regarding the office of presidential personnel (DOGE): "Playing “bad cop” in a way that other White House offices cannot (including serving as the office that takes direct responsibility for firings and hirings)."
Tell me you didn't read the article without telling me you didn't read the article.
This bill was introduced by two Democrats to highlight how all these policies are being enacted by Republicans that target women but not men.
Well thats 10x worse if you actually read the goals of the project.
You wrote all that in response to an article you never read?
