First, they deny that their intentions to take birth control away, by limiting their definition of "birth control" to condoms and the rhythm method. To justify that shell game, they lie about how the most popular and effective forms of birth control work, claiming they are "abortion." They ping-pong between these two lies, so that the fact checkers can never keep up. [Read more](~/AASU4wA~/RgRoRBvCP0RoaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvenExNG12ZXlmdS8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPXk3dDFyMnd6YzMmbGhfZW09dHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODUlNDBnbWFpbC5jb21XA3NwY0IKZlXDlmFmGJkUX1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo). ~/AASU4wA~/RgRoRBvCP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsveTM0NmZjMWloOC8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPXk3dDFyMnd6YzNXA3NwY0IKZlXDlmFmGJkUX1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo~/AASU4wA~/RgRoRBvCP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvMWRnMnhpYmVwbS8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPXk3dDFyMnd6YzNXA3NwY0IKZlXDlmFmGJkUX1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo~/AASU4wA~/RgRoRBvCP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvZ2w5a285c2lkMS8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPXk3dDFyMnd6YzNXA3NwY0IKZlXDlmFmGJkUX1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo~/AASU4wA~/RgRoRBvCP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvamc1eTc5bXc3OS8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPXk3dDFyMnd6YzNXA3NwY0IKZlXDlmFmGJkUX1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo "Trump will be under house arrest in the White House": Former DOJ prosecutor on what could come next Donald Trump’s first felony conviction is not the end of something or a type of early climax that will inevitably lead to the end of the Age of Trump and the country’s democracy crisis. Instead, Trump’s felony conviction in the hush-money election interference case appears to be another chapter in an interminable and exhausting story where the future and outcome are still very much uncertain. In an attempt to make better sense of Trump’s conviction in the hush-money trial, what happens next with his appeals and sentencing, and the larger implications for the country’s democracy crisis and the 2024 election, Salon spoke with Kenneth McCallion, a former Justice Department prosecutor who also worked for the New York attorney general's office as a prosecutor on Trump-related racketeering cases.
