Maybe let kids grow up a little bit before you start frankensteining them. How about teaching them to read and write? Teach them mathematics. American kids are so far behind in learning compared with other countries even with the money thrown at education.
I saw a video today about a mom who is so upset, her 4 year old daughter keeps picking *white* princesses to dress up as. But for Halloween, she wanted to be Moana and OH GOD - mom couldn't let her be that because it's *cultural appropriation*!!!!
If it is illegal to tattoo someone younger than 18 then it should certainly be illegal to mutilate them in a far worse way and in the same way that the state does not pay for people to tattoo themselves they should not be expected to pay for someone to mutilate himself or herself.
Can you believe that people send their children to public schools and believe that the schools are going to operate on their children during the day. I'm not sure how that started but it's the most ridiculous thing that was ever put out there. And there's a lot to choose from.
Yeah, never bought that either. It’s always been a christofascist sentiment. Not sure why y’all cannot let people live their life as they wish as long as it doesn’t affect your life.
A fear of all different, no, an intolerance of anything different. Including racism because poor white men realize that they will not be the majority forever. Hence the idea to force women to carry even unviable pregnancies to the end.
Media is rife with interviews of “parents “ who support the immolation of kids who are not mature enough to choose appropriate clothing. Maybe you support censorship that isn’t censorship!
Have you ever heard of Münchausen syndrome by proxy. Very mentally unstable parent (usually mother) creates/fakes signs symptoms of an illness in her child for some kind of secondary gain. (All technical medical terms.
"No one wants gender reassignment surgery for kids. Their parents just want their kids to be acknowledged and accepted for who they are."
You fucking lying POS. California wants puberty blockers for kids against the parents wishes. Fact. Gavin Newsom just signed a law prohibiting schools from telling a kid's mom and dad about such issue.
The very idea of gender reassignment for children is absolutely horrifying to me and millions of Americans. If that is far right to you, then so be it.
To be fully accurate Democrats are extremely progressive/insane on social issues and basic bitch corporatist war monger on the economy. The word left is pretty meaningless in modern America, shrug.
Now is a good time to mention the "Overton Window". The meaning and origin of the Overton Window can be seen here: mackinac.org/7504.
Briefly the Overton Window of any political issue is determined by the current public consensus as to what makes up the opposing extremes of the issue, and knowing this, one can determine the center. But the point of the concept is that such a center is not static, but moves towards one extreme or the other as public perception changes.
In the left/right paradigm, circa 1789 -1792, the left was the the side of the French National Assembly on which the (angry and resentful) revolutionary minded representatives sat while the (entitled and arrogant) defenders of the monarchy sat on the right.
The British Tory party and the American Federalists pictured the center to be with the monarchists, but favoring substantial reform to ease the suffering of the peasantry and the servant classes of the population.
The British Whig party and the American Republicans saw the center as the abolition of the Monarchy and restoration of much of the vast wealth of the Catholic Church to the common people of France, but with compensation for land ceded from the French nobility to the peasantry and civil protection of the former King and Queen and French nobility during and after the transfer.
Of course that was before the Jacobin "reign of terror".
Race fear mongering, gender insanity, and abortion fear mongering, and the Unconstitutional demand for censorship of "misinformation," wrapped as a pretty "progressive" bow around the same corporate and imperial war friendly policies as the RINO Republicans, now you know.
It's stuff to keep you fighting so you won't think about the (((bankers))) who do no work, and who get extremely wealthy off your labor.
Nothing to do with communism. If you’re worried about communism, you can ratchet that up now that we’re going to have a president that’s in Putin’s pocket. Putin would love to take over our country. It’s been a goal of his for decades. No one can seem to explain to me how they voted for someone who calls service people suckers and losers. This is a sincere question.
You are correct it has nothing to do with communism, your fear mongering about Putin OTH is insane. Slavic wars have literally nothing to do with the security and well being of Americans and we should stay out of them. What exactly has been gained by giving the literally unelected leader of Ukraine hundreds of billions of dollars other than the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of Ukranian lives for nothing, and a war Ukraine will lose? Sadly much of this is the U.S.'s fault as we sided with the anti-Russian coup in 2014 on the side of Ukrainian Nazis in the Azov Battalion. And who oversaw that? Neo-con Dick Cheney protege Victoria Nuland who was second in the command at the State Department under Biden.
Neither Republicans, not Democrats can think their way out of a wet paper bag.
don't repeat the silly gossip from the msm. you were doing well. putin wants zero to do with an immature egomaniac. you mean miliekowski calling himself nutty boo hoo its isn'treal that wants to take over ever since the germans recognized that the bolsheviks were the problem aka joos.
To be so politically correct you can't be. You beat yourself and every one you know up, because your personal angst is so great you can't live with it. You want everyone to suffer WITH you.
Example: a mom of a FOUR year old is upset because her daughter *always* picks white princesses for dress up. But!! The 4 year old wanted to be Moana for Halloween and Oh God!! Mom couldn't do that because **gasp** it's cultural appropriation!!!!!!!
They don't know, they just heard that cute little phrase and decided to just run with it. But to those of us who do know it's people who are educated and understand the world
Those of us who understand the world? If you left your educated, understanding, ivory tower and went to any part of the world that is not already tied in woke ideology knots and espoused what you think you know, you would be laughed out of town if you weren't thrown off of a roof or summarily shot.
I didn’t think you would answer. Let’s look forward to higher taxes, billionaire tax breaks, and so much more! Do you realize that tariffs are payed by consumers?
Lower taxes actually. Biden was planning on letting the TCJA expire, and Trump will renew it.
The passage of the TCJA in December 2017 was significant as it overhauled the tax landscape for both individuals and corporations. The Act shifted millions of Americans to the standard deduction and reduced both individual and corporate tax rates, to name just a few of the reforms.
Now, many of the provisions enacted by the TCJA are set to expire at the end of 2025. And while most eyes are fixed on the outcome of the 2024 U.S. presidential election, if Congress doesn’t extend the TCJA, then nearly every American will be impacted by the sunsetting provisions.
The sky has not fallen, the world did not end, and the apocalypse didn't occur. Take a breath, pull your pants up, and do what half of America has done every day for the last 4 years... *ADULTING*
Immersed in what, though? The far right develops some kind of vague talking point but attributes it to Democrats so that they can bravely take up arms against it. And if Democrats ever challenge them on the fact that “woke ideology” is entirely a far right concept, someone comes up with the non-answer that you just did: that Democrats are so far into it—whatever it is—that they don’t see it.
Heck of a way for you to circle back on yourself, own that the far right is just playing with itself
Originally, when the term woke was used it meant someone who was flexible enough to think about walking in someone else’s shoes and to treat people with compassion. What I don’t understand is how voters chose someone who calls service people suckers and losers. To me, that alone disqualifies him.
“What I don’t understand is how voters chose someone who calls service people suckers and losers.”
21 year Marine Corps veteran, F-18 pilot and test pilot. Your post is utter garbage…another myth made up by desperate Democrat fascists. The vast majority of people in the military support Trump, which should by all that matters re: your bs.
Those comments saying that are absolutely asinine. It was the economy and immigration, among other things. The only people who would say Harris went too far center right are the far leftists. And their ideology has been resoundingly rejected.
Kamala spearheading the Defund The Police movement seemed pretty far left to me and also her advocacy for men to compete against women in sports as long as they identified as women
I can see that. The problem with championing the victim at the expense of everything else is that it incentivizes victimhood. This has been going on almost two decades now and has reached the point where there is a victim hierarchy. So now a proponent of such a tactic cannot support any group without offending another group. And heaven knows giving offense is THE progressive sin. The Jewish and Muslim debacle is an example. Demonizing men to support women is another. Elevating trans rights over women is another. Basically she was left with too small a group and Trump had the big tent of those she had alienated.
Hard to say, not being a mind reader for independents, but from my own perspective I'd guess identity politics (claiming she's black), anti fascist and anti racist virtue signaling, championing Critical Race Theory, white supremacy and white privilege as barriers to people of color, defunding the police, blaming inflation on capitalism, taxing (punishing) corporations and the rich, lavishing largess from the public treasury on illegal aliens (to signal she's not xenophobic), blaming hurricane victims for resisting climate change policy, defending the borders of Ukraine and Israel, while opening our own to name a few of the top of my head.
You’re so brainwashed, sorry you are. If you don’t think Kamala is “woke” and didn’t prove it the last 5 or so years, you’re just not paying attention. You have to pay attention and get outside your bubble. You think you’re smart and informed but you’re so out of touch it’s sad
We have an economy that is the envy of the world. Now we get to look forward to higher taxes, tariffs on foreign goods that will be paid by us, which is how tariffs work. We can say goodbye to caps on the price of medications, a program to help support home health care, and social security. I don’t know if you rely on ss, but I bet you know someone who does. Big business is going to have huge tax breaks and no incentive to decrease prices that are already way too high. This isn’t funny and we’re all going to suffer.
I agree with Harriet. There's too much evidence that Trump's controlled opposition. He's likely to sell us out to BlackRock, WEF, the Federal Reserve and, the Bank for International Settlements. I do hope we're wrong though.
Yes, Barbara. We know what we voted for. We enjoyed it from 2016-2020. Biden fell asleep at the wheel while the far left ran wild. We look forward to a closed border again. We hold on for all the prices to go back down. We are happy to drill baby drill and lower gas prices. Putin & Kim Jun are nervous as hell right now. The real man is back. No more allowing guys to win girls sports stealing victories and scholarships from hard working ladies. The madness has to stop. Loud and clear. Senate. House. We took it all. America 🇺🇸
Putin isn’t scared of Trump you silly man. The Don was the best choice out of a terrible binary decision but let’s not pretend he isn’t utterly sub par.
America needs to do better than the likes of Biden, Harris, Trump etc.
Nope. We've spoken loud and clear. We want TRUMP to get the job done buddy. You just refuse to listen. I thought you were WOKE? Wake up and accept the country believes in President Trump. We like it. We love it. We want some more of it.
Take my advice. Open a 401K. Trump is back baby. Learn to love it. You guys couldn't even win 1 of the 7 swing states. It's over pal. Suck it up. We took the Senate too. Popular vote President Donald Trump won by MILLIONS. Read that again mazirian. MAGA!
Regular Americans say he has fought for them. I think affordable groceries and gas prices was good for me, as well as Trump getting our soldiers out of Iraq.
Nope, she speaks the truth. Obama left him with much and he left Biden with little. It boggles the brain that in 2020 voters couldn't wait to be rid of orange, Biden won by a landslide. How short the memory can be!! And how is it that Puerto Ricans are gluttons for punishment???? Raise Ike from the dead.
No Jennifer that was a world wide PANDEMIC from.....CHINA. But the media went crazy on him for blaming them. Years later it's overwhelmingly accepted. He was right of course. That Wuhan lab was no joke.
No matter where it came from, it was here and orange said nothing to it. It will go away shortly. Deny, deny, deny. Remember the original name, novel corona virus. That means that it was unheard of before. He would not take advice from Dr. Fauci or any scientists. He trashed the pandemic plan he got from Obama. Advised horse meds and bleach. F...... Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!
He "reigned" during a pandemic, remember that little thing? And NO PRESIDENT controls grocery prices. But if anything goes down, dummy will take credit. Lets not mention the So. African buying votes. Biden has done a good job with the economy, corporate America gouging is not up to him. Just you wait when there are no bodies to pick veggies. I ges you are OK with the cruelty that is his style. See Jennifer Weltz. That is the truth. Whent the going gets tough, dummy will fold like paper. He won't last long anyway. CatLady wants the job.
It so wonderful to be lectured by unrepentant Iraq War cheerleader Bill Kristol on how Americans made a bad choice. Any update on those Weapons of Mass Destruction, Bill?
Isn’t there anything President Biden can do? I mean, Trump is a felon and should not have been allowed to even run according to our constitution? What about the trial for January 6 th? Is all this going to be ignored? He is not the president yet!!!! Although I guess that would leave JD Vance the president if something prevents Trump from the inauguration. Yes, I’m looking for a solution. This was worse than how I felt in 2016 because Trump is a felon!!!! I thought if there was a landslide that Harris would have gotten it.
It's the Trump Contagion that infected the susceptible. Look it up. I'm going to be here watching the devastating effects when a lot of his voters realize how it affects them.
His convictions are not final. They are on appeal and are unlikely to hold up. Word is that the Smith prosecutions are about to be dismissed. And the Willis prosecution is likewise negatively impacted by the Supreme Court presidential immunity ruling, although I think it unlikely she will dismiss the cases. Plus the American people knew all about the cases when they voted for him. Most did not care. Actually that is not right. It likely helped him as the very obvious attempts to use the justice system humanized him in the eyes of many. And it angered many others. I predict that an unintended consequence of it will be systematic criminal justice reform. They messed with the wrong brother.
The fact that his convictions will be dismissed angers me. Trump gets away with so much. He shouldn’t have been allowed to even run for office according to our constitution!! There’s too much corruption in our government!!
This was a complete fake election. Trump said as much months ago when he told a crowd they didn't have to vote. Everyone on CNN and MSNBC is falling in line. Morning Joe is acting like this is a great thing. I believe Scarborough was in on the conspiracy from the start. He would not let any guests say Harris was ahead. Democracy is lost. There is nothing we can do. We may as well live in Hungary, same thing.
Eric you lost. Big time. Suck it up. Abandon conspiracy and join reality. We have a gorgeous first Lady again. We have a President that twice made it through assassination attempts as he was running for another term. Inflation will be defeated. No new Wars. Closed border again. Of course the networks are accepting because Trump won in a landslide.
This election just didn’t feel right!! With all the excitement that Harris’s rally’s brought how could this have happened? Sure, it was disappointing and I was angry, but I just couldn’t understand how it was a landslide for Trump. It made no sense!! What about “The Secret” that Trump was sharing with Mike Johnson? For me, something felt very off!!!!
There’s lots of places to look, try Dave Rubin, he’s been there. His ‘Red Pill Moment’ with Larry Elder is priceless. I only watch sports on TV, 23 years without watching or reading The News has made me better educated and very nervous.
MSM not only spouts DARPA disinformation, but avoids the most pressing issues such as fiat currency with its forced irredeemable debt service and non disclosure of its source, the take over of the pharmaceutical industry by the Defense Department, the democide prosecuted by Central Banks and BlackRock, sex trafficking of minors by some of the most powerful people on the planet, extortion by the very officials who should protect us from extortion, persecution of whistle blowers such as Snowden, Assange , Manning, and many others, the hostility of elites towards common people, intentional disruption of the food supply, weather modification resulting in LaHaina fire and hurricane damage to South Eastern U.S., how to protect your immunology, global genocide of Christians and other non Muslims, Jihad, Sharia Law, agenda of Jesuit Pope Francis I, perfidy of the United Nations, NATO, WHO and the global influence of Communist China, Iran, Venezuela, Brazil, North Korea, machinations of MOSSAD and our own intelligence community,. The list of issues MSN should cover, but neglects is much longer that the issues it does address.
You failed to name a NEWS network. TruthSocial.com? X? And please don't ASSUME I'm a democrat because I'm not. I'm an Independent. I vote for people, not parties. Everything you listed I can watch on CNN.
Great! I'm pleased to hear from you that CNN has avoided BlackRock, FED, CIA, HHS, DoD, and NSA editing. However, I don't share your confidence in CNN as a news source because CNN's focus seems to be on deep state approved distraction and never on the issues I mentioned. BTW I didn't assume anything about you since before your response I was not aware of your existence. My comments are directed to everyone, regardless of political party orientation or preference.
Use a trustworthy search engine (not google), search what you’re interested in, you’ll find lots of opinions to help form your own. I’ve used DUCK DUCK GO with success in the past. Watch the YouTube video on Dave Rubin’s Red Pill with Larry Elder, it’s a start, Dave has an interesting channel on Rumble.
Donald Trump was brilliant in many respects last time. This time he will demonstrate the alternative to Socialist Slothfulness. To show the entire world that Freedom of Speech and choice of association is discernment and decency. Each Country has the intrinsic responsibility to protect the citizens from “Twin Towers” type Terrorists settling in with no intention of assimilation with every purpose of taking over.
Trump will wear the mantle of the worlds greatest philosophers for ethics and decency along with valuable contributions from people whose heart and purpose is for their fellows to saved from the horror of Dictatorship and Totalitarianism.
By lighting the way for prosperity and Freedom.

BS. The Ten Commandments say don't covet or steal your neighbors stuff. Socialism does not have private property. Also he says the poor will always be among you. Read the words, not what you want to see. Socialism requires forcing people to do things by a state that has guns, aka violence. Jesus wants you to give to the poor out of your heart.
Too many people confuse socialism, you know, public good shared by society, with communism. If you use Medicare, public roads, schools etc, you're using benefits of socialist policy. You shouldn't be afraid.
The classical definition of socialism is state ownership of the means of production. Marx and Engels chose the word "Communist" for the Communist Manifesto in 1848 because it was less alarming at that time than socialism. The appearance at that time (that communism was voluntarily communal, a deliberate deception), whereas then socialism implied coerced seizure of private business and commercial enterprise. Communism became the scary word after the Bolshevik revolution. Socialist/communists then called themselves "progressives" to avoid the coercion stigma.
I don't disagree w your first part about the meaning of the poor will always be among us, but it has nothing to do with whether a state should demand you help them the way the state demands they be helped. (I for instance, I volunteer at my at my local kitchen regularly.) Regarding 10 commandments- Jesus said he did not come to abolish the laws of Moses, but in fact made them more serious- so that argument makes no sense. Jesus was a Jew. He died because we are imperfect and can't follow the laws on our own.
Socialism might work for communal living among small groups..but it has been catastrophic for nations: North Korea, U.S.S.R, China, Venezuela, Cuba, etc.
If you look at places like Venezuela, you'll find that any socialist government has been overthrown by the USA long before they can get started. The others you mention are not socialist, they are communist. Big difference. History matters.
Is being misused as a substitute for “Communist “. Socialism is not a specific ideology but a spectrum, incorporating a variety of governmental systems. The UK, Canada, Sweden, France, etc., have elements of private enterprise as well as government control. But they are all forms of democracy. Their citizens determine what points on the spectrum they wish to occupy.
Communism, on the other hand, exercises total state control of the means of production. There is no private property. It isn’t part of any spectrum, but a rigid ideological structure. It’s the antithesis of democracy.
Have you seen a doctor lately for you delusions?? Married three time, cheated on every one. Doesn't pay his bills. Preaches hate for anyone not him. DO NOT include the Gospels because you do not know anything or understand them at all.
Of all the comments this was the the most inciteful:
Mehdi Hasan: [F]or me, the moment Harris lost this election came on Oct. 8, in an interview on The View, when she was asked if she would have done anything differently than Biden over the past four years. Her answer? “There is not a thing that comes to mind.”
Misogyny and racism won, the numbers prove it. White men resounding proved they'd rather vote for a rapist than a woman. Blaming this loss on anything else is a joke. "Wokeism" didn't lose the election, misogyny did.
Really then why kill women who just want to have a healthy pregnancy by allowing them to bleed to death? That is cool, right. Or an ectopic pregnancy which will also kill the woman. Or a fetus that has already died so the woman can get sepsis and die. Or doesn't the woman count? She's just a jar, something to use? I hope no one you ever know is EVER put in that position.
Americans want to be able to afford, housing, food, gasoline, insurance.
And you know something else they want ??? TERM LIMITS What are the odds of that passing both houses of Congress? Or does that have to be done by amendment ??
The key to last night seems to be that voters literally switched off the Democratic Party and Harris.
The popular vote tells the tale. In 2020 Biden received 81,284,666 votes.
In 2024 Harris received, more or less, subject to final counts, but close enough that it won’t materially change, 69,031,869 votes.
In 2024 Trump received 74,015,748 votes, almost identical, subject to final adjustments that again won’t materially change anything, to what he received in 2020.
If the same number of Democrats had showed up to support Harris, as who had supported Biden, she would be President-elect today. But she’s not and there’s only one answer to that, the members of her own Party were turned off her, and the Party, and stayed home to show their disapproval.
In large part I agree with you. It was up to Harris to lose and, by purposefully ignoring everyone but the bureaucrats and diehards, she committed political suicide. The Gaza genocide, a failure to connect with laborers and an inability to articulate were, in my mind, what doomed her.
There's also the possibility that through efforts of Judicial Watch and like minded local activists that voter rolls were purged of approximately 3 million, dead, fake, alien, moved away, and duplicate ballots nation wide.
They didn't learn and then nominated another woman. Which again ended up with Trump winning.
Trump has not beaten anyone. The Dems handed these elections to him.
Misogyny and bigotry are real and they can and do provide White males with an advantage. Mayor Pete is great. Can't win because he's gay. The US is not ready for him either. So where is a young, smart Democrat and White Male that could have beaten Trump? Biden didn't step away because he felt it was up to him to beat Trump again. A good leader and a good organization prepares others to take over. The Dems have no system set up.
Politics is a popularity contest foremost. It's not about intellectual ideas. Voters are for the most part stupid. Dems, Republicans, Independents and any other party.
It's just the demographics of how humans think or better yet can't or don't think.
Obama was a gifted speaker. He commanded a stage. Where is that Democrat?
That many so called smart Americans are easily conned and are gullible doesn't help either. Many are great at math, accomplished in business, hard workers, rich even, yet they fall for cult nonsense. It's human nature. They can't help it. Many are attracted to authoritarian leaders. They can't help it.
The majority of Americans can't tell fact from fiction.
They do not understand correlation and causation.
Many can't overcome the misinformation and propaganda their minds are subjected to. They may actually believe that they are doing due diligence concerning the candidates. They are not self aware that bots direct their minds to websites that will only confirm what they read or saw earlier. Their minds subconsciously will seek out confirmation bias.
What liberal and rational minds own TV stations in rural America? The MSM is corporate. They care about profits and viewers. So the MSM was complicit in providing a criminal the free airtime to push his lies for over 8 years. Social media made it free. Why don't liberal minds and Democrats have their anti Fox outlets in rural areas? Cheaper to own the stations than to pay to advertise on them.
All that said the Democrats have not been good at messaging. They keep appealing to groups that are in the margins. Which is nice but it isn't a winning strategy. When illegal immigration is a huge concern to voters doing nothing loses elections. When African Americans see their neighborhoods flooded with migrants, their local park district center turned into a migrant shelter they will react and blame the Democrats in charge.
So yes we do need a society that is open to all. Free of bigotry and misogyny.
To accomplish that winning the elections comes first.
Losing set back women's rights 50 years.
It may set back LGBTQ rights as well.
It may end our system of free and fair elections. As feeble as those elections have been over the years the illusion of some kind of choice made Americans feel that this is a representative republic. Both parties gamed the system and it isn't working. Trump is only going to make things worse. He's not a benevolent dictator. None exist. He's going to massively mess up the country for everyone. Including his supporters.
A stupid slogan and simple promises that appeal to the average American mind worked. They don't know his policies are ignorant or that he's only out for himself. They like and are attracted to his promises even if he has no intention of delivering on them.
How many coal miners did Trump get jobs for? How many steelworker jobs were created. The answer is zero for both.
Sure it's not the Dems fault that the Republican Party turned into a cult of personality.
Many liberals underestimate the numbers of irrational voters and keep trying to reason with them.
Can't reason with people that don't use reason to reach their conclusions about subjects.
If they don't adjust their messaging to reach such voters it won't change.
Had Covid not happened the orangutan would not have needed to try a coup. He would have won by a lot.
When Crypto crashes "it's a total scam and it's only a matter of time" will the Dems have positioned themselves as being on the side of those being taken advantage of? Or are they complicit too?
It might cause another recession similar to 2008. How big is this pyramid scheme and where is the money going and who is going to lose it?
If it happens before Trump is in office then people won't realize he's a part of the scam. Again propaganda and lies can be used to blame the blameless and let the conmen profit and then project their illegal actions onto others.
Want to stop Fascism and Authoritarianism?
Stop buying products from the fascists that are behind this.
Don't buy a Tesla.
Don't shop at Hobby Lobby.
Don't post on X or Twitter.
Don't drink Coors Beer or it's other brands.
Don't get boxes from Uline.
Don't stay at the Venetian. Or buy tickets to see the Mavericks.
On and on. You decide how your money is spent.
I canceled Direct TV. Why? Because Fox News gets about $5 per subscriber to be a part of their plan. I'm not going to subsidize their lies and propaganda.
There are other cars, other beers, other boxes and many TV channels.
50 million boycotting will reduce their income. Which is what they care about.
Or don't and keep complaining and writing poor excuses for why we have elected a parasite to our highest office.
And Fauci, Pelosi, Hunter Biden ... made nothing from the Biden presidential years? Gimme a break!! There's corruption on all sides. Where have you been?
Democrats turned off independent voters by championing far left woke ideology.
Far left? Do you even know where the center is?
Somewhere between not wanting gender reassignment surgery for children, and wanting adequate funding for law enforcement? Just a guess.
No one wants gender reassignment surgery for kids. Their parents just want their kids to be acknowledged and accepted for who they are.
California wants puberty blockers for kids against the parents wishes. Fact.
says who? the msm? you fail to grasp how you are programmed to believe nonsense.
Maybe let kids grow up a little bit before you start frankensteining them. How about teaching them to read and write? Teach them mathematics. American kids are so far behind in learning compared with other countries even with the money thrown at education.
I saw a video today about a mom who is so upset, her 4 year old daughter keeps picking *white* princesses to dress up as. But for Halloween, she wanted to be Moana and OH GOD - mom couldn't let her be that because it's *cultural appropriation*!!!!
No wonder our kids are so damm confused.
If it is illegal to tattoo someone younger than 18 then it should certainly be illegal to mutilate them in a far worse way and in the same way that the state does not pay for people to tattoo themselves they should not be expected to pay for someone to mutilate himself or herself.
Can you believe that people send their children to public schools and believe that the schools are going to operate on their children during the day. I'm not sure how that started but it's the most ridiculous thing that was ever put out there. And there's a lot to choose from.
I thought it was the economy?
Yeah, never bought that either. It’s always been a christofascist sentiment. Not sure why y’all cannot let people live their life as they wish as long as it doesn’t affect your life.
A fear of all different, no, an intolerance of anything different. Including racism because poor white men realize that they will not be the majority forever. Hence the idea to force women to carry even unviable pregnancies to the end.
who makes a video to show the public about a stupid issue? seems as if the "parent" needs an education.

This is not an unbiased article.
I mean no disrespect, but I really want to know how you can vote for someone who refers to those in uniform “suckers and losers”.
Oh so you are an expert on the issue?
Bullpuckey. Do you live in a eunuch vacuum?
Media is rife with interviews of “parents “ who support the immolation of kids who are not mature enough to choose appropriate clothing. Maybe you support censorship that isn’t censorship!
there you go again you believe "media".
nonsense Harriet!! I personally know parents who DO want gender reassignment surgery for their kid! And more publicly- have you never seen "Jazz"???
Have you ever heard of Münchausen syndrome by proxy. Very mentally unstable parent (usually mother) creates/fakes signs symptoms of an illness in her child for some kind of secondary gain. (All technical medical terms.
Strange company you keep. I’ve seen documentaries about the issue, but don’t know anyone personally. Especially not in the plural. Yet here you are.
And yet how many thousands of kids had surgery? It’s insane.
I would add no biological males in girls/women’s sports.
BS Harriet!! They certainly do want surgery! I know parents who are all for it!!
"No one wants gender reassignment surgery for kids. Their parents just want their kids to be acknowledged and accepted for who they are."
You fucking lying POS. California wants puberty blockers for kids against the parents wishes. Fact. Gavin Newsom just signed a law prohibiting schools from telling a kid's mom and dad about such issue.
Classy.
Classy? It's the truth. Maybe you should educate yourself on the subject instead of parroting Democrat lies.
Is there a rash of gender reassignments that's not being reported in the news? And let's talk about who's not supporting law enforcement.
The very idea of gender reassignment for children is absolutely horrifying to me and millions of Americans. If that is far right to you, then so be it.
Again is there a rash of gender assignment surgeries that are being conducted that we just don't know about. It's not far right it's delusional

To be fully accurate Democrats are extremely progressive/insane on social issues and basic bitch corporatist war monger on the economy. The word left is pretty meaningless in modern America, shrug.
one sided bias?
Now is a good time to mention the "Overton Window". The meaning and origin of the Overton Window can be seen here: mackinac.org/7504.
Briefly the Overton Window of any political issue is determined by the current public consensus as to what makes up the opposing extremes of the issue, and knowing this, one can determine the center. But the point of the concept is that such a center is not static, but moves towards one extreme or the other as public perception changes.
In the left/right paradigm, circa 1789 -1792, the left was the the side of the French National Assembly on which the (angry and resentful) revolutionary minded representatives sat while the (entitled and arrogant) defenders of the monarchy sat on the right.
The British Tory party and the American Federalists pictured the center to be with the monarchists, but favoring substantial reform to ease the suffering of the peasantry and the servant classes of the population.
The British Whig party and the American Republicans saw the center as the abolition of the Monarchy and restoration of much of the vast wealth of the Catholic Church to the common people of France, but with compensation for land ceded from the French nobility to the peasantry and civil protection of the former King and Queen and French nobility during and after the transfer.
Of course that was before the Jacobin "reign of terror".
Yes. And your kind don't.

What is woke ideology?
Do a Google search. I'm not here to do everybody else's research.
Just curious if you know what it means.
Race fear mongering, gender insanity, and abortion fear mongering, and the Unconstitutional demand for censorship of "misinformation," wrapped as a pretty "progressive" bow around the same corporate and imperial war friendly policies as the RINO Republicans, now you know.
It's stuff to keep you fighting so you won't think about the (((bankers))) who do no work, and who get extremely wealthy off your labor.
It's communism disguised as progressive ideology, focused on dividing the middle class over wedge issues. That's my take at least. How about you?
All I know is socialist leaders have a long track record of murdering their own people by the bushel.
THEY DO HUH?
Nothing to do with communism. If you’re worried about communism, you can ratchet that up now that we’re going to have a president that’s in Putin’s pocket. Putin would love to take over our country. It’s been a goal of his for decades. No one can seem to explain to me how they voted for someone who calls service people suckers and losers. This is a sincere question.
You are correct it has nothing to do with communism, your fear mongering about Putin OTH is insane. Slavic wars have literally nothing to do with the security and well being of Americans and we should stay out of them. What exactly has been gained by giving the literally unelected leader of Ukraine hundreds of billions of dollars other than the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of Ukranian lives for nothing, and a war Ukraine will lose? Sadly much of this is the U.S.'s fault as we sided with the anti-Russian coup in 2014 on the side of Ukrainian Nazis in the Azov Battalion. And who oversaw that? Neo-con Dick Cheney protege Victoria Nuland who was second in the command at the State Department under Biden.
Neither Republicans, not Democrats can think their way out of a wet paper bag.
don't repeat the silly gossip from the msm. you were doing well. putin wants zero to do with an immature egomaniac. you mean miliekowski calling himself nutty boo hoo its isn'treal that wants to take over ever since the germans recognized that the bolsheviks were the problem aka joos.
I'd quibble on "communism" as it really has nothing to do with actual Marxism, otherwise very accurate.
communism is the new fear porn word.
you have zero idea of communism.
What’s your idea then? Both my grandparents escaped the communist Soviet Union. I have many stories.
By the way it’s “far left” so there’s a little left wokeism for the guy who doesn’t want to do research for people.
I voted for Obama. You're welcome.
William has black friends. Awesome.
they merely repeat msm BS.
A google search does not make the response correct!
You should. You obviously need more of an education since you’re not that great with understanding language. 😉
To be so politically correct you can't be. You beat yourself and every one you know up, because your personal angst is so great you can't live with it. You want everyone to suffer WITH you.
Example: a mom of a FOUR year old is upset because her daughter *always* picks white princesses for dress up. But!! The 4 year old wanted to be Moana for Halloween and Oh God!! Mom couldn't do that because **gasp** it's cultural appropriation!!!!!!!
That is the dilemma of being 'woke'.
actually its programming.
They don't know, they just heard that cute little phrase and decided to just run with it. But to those of us who do know it's people who are educated and understand the world
Well no one likes it and it hurt the Dems this time around. You can reflect on why that is or just keep losing
Those of us who understand the world? If you left your educated, understanding, ivory tower and went to any part of the world that is not already tied in woke ideology knots and espoused what you think you know, you would be laughed out of town if you weren't thrown off of a roof or summarily shot.
Hmmm!

Trump has vowed to end taxes on overtime pay, tips and social security
trump promises all and delivers zero/. the potus has no power its congress.
He's vowed to end overtime pay. Let's be clear about that
Lower taxes actually. Biden was planning on letting the TCJA expire, and Trump will renew it.
The passage of the TCJA in December 2017 was significant as it overhauled the tax landscape for both individuals and corporations. The Act shifted millions of Americans to the standard deduction and reduced both individual and corporate tax rates, to name just a few of the reforms.
Now, many of the provisions enacted by the TCJA are set to expire at the end of 2025. And while most eyes are fixed on the outcome of the 2024 U.S. presidential election, if Congress doesn’t extend the TCJA, then nearly every American will be impacted by the sunsetting provisions.

Democrats don’t even mention “woke ideology.” That’s not a concept within democratic parlance
Probably because they are so immersed in it they can't see the forest for the trees
Immersed in what, though? The far right develops some kind of vague talking point but attributes it to Democrats so that they can bravely take up arms against it. And if Democrats ever challenge them on the fact that “woke ideology” is entirely a far right concept, someone comes up with the non-answer that you just did: that Democrats are so far into it—whatever it is—that they don’t see it.
Heck of a way for you to circle back on yourself, own that the far right is just playing with itself
This is not vague
https://americafirstpolicy.com/issues/gender-transition-medications-and-surgeries-for-children-in-the-u.s
you don't actually think for yourself do you? you religiously follow msm nonsense and take it as truth.
You are just mad because the candidate you and your gay buddies voted for lost
I understand that the far right opposes gender affirming care for transgender children. Because they don’t believe transgender people exist.
The discussion was about one political group creating terminology and both assigning it to others but also expecting the others to adopt it, as well
If you call people who voted for Biden, but not Kamala, far right, then I dont know how we will he able to constructively continue our chat.
Originally, when the term woke was used it meant someone who was flexible enough to think about walking in someone else’s shoes and to treat people with compassion. What I don’t understand is how voters chose someone who calls service people suckers and losers. To me, that alone disqualifies him.
Because Trump never said it, But I see that you keep mentioning it in every other comment you post.
As a veteran myself, I can tell you that I'd absolutely call him and anyone else out who calls service people losers or suckers.
“What I don’t understand is how voters chose someone who calls service people suckers and losers.”

The operative word is "parlance"! The trick is to not speak the quiet part!
Schmuck
That's interesting. I read other comments today that stated she lost because she moved too right-center.
Those comments saying that are absolutely asinine. It was the economy and immigration, among other things. The only people who would say Harris went too far center right are the far leftists. And their ideology has been resoundingly rejected.
Kamala spearheading the Defund The Police movement seemed pretty far left to me and also her advocacy for men to compete against women in sports as long as they identified as women
Appreciate your answer. I can understand your point of view here.
I can see that. The problem with championing the victim at the expense of everything else is that it incentivizes victimhood. This has been going on almost two decades now and has reached the point where there is a victim hierarchy. So now a proponent of such a tactic cannot support any group without offending another group. And heaven knows giving offense is THE progressive sin. The Jewish and Muslim debacle is an example. Demonizing men to support women is another. Elevating trans rights over women is another. Basically she was left with too small a group and Trump had the big tent of those she had alienated.
Both reasons may be correct. I watched a half dozen videos today by independents who said the woke ideology turned them off.
What in Kamala's campaign did they consider woke? Asking sincerely.
Hard to say, not being a mind reader for independents, but from my own perspective I'd guess identity politics (claiming she's black), anti fascist and anti racist virtue signaling, championing Critical Race Theory, white supremacy and white privilege as barriers to people of color, defunding the police, blaming inflation on capitalism, taxing (punishing) corporations and the rich, lavishing largess from the public treasury on illegal aliens (to signal she's not xenophobic), blaming hurricane victims for resisting climate change policy, defending the borders of Ukraine and Israel, while opening our own to name a few of the top of my head.
I specifically asked William because of his comment about watching videos of independents. Not expecting anyone to be a "mind reader'.
They’ll only answer with the lies they accepted as fact.
You’re so brainwashed, sorry you are. If you don’t think Kamala is “woke” and didn’t prove it the last 5 or so years, you’re just not paying attention. You have to pay attention and get outside your bubble. You think you’re smart and informed but you’re so out of touch it’s sad
Funny
Whose they, Harriet? Independents?
trump supporters
From whose perspective?
I rather like not being a jerk.
did you miss the bought msm endless negativity and trash talk from the rino camp? it seems so.
Another stolen election by a convicted criminal with a ton of offenses, rape of women and
Trump is an Uncouth embarrassment in the World.
We stand by you President Trump! We the people have spoken. LOUDLY.
You have no idea what you’ve done. Like the saying goes, be careful of what you wish for.
Oh Harriet…it’s going to be OK…sleep with your light on.
It most certainly is not going to be ok.
Just do what 57% of the country has been doing for the last 4 years.
Get up, live your life and deal with the changes. It's called "adulting".
And in four years, when everything changes AGAIN, you'll be able to cope then as well.
We have an economy that is the envy of the world. Now we get to look forward to higher taxes, tariffs on foreign goods that will be paid by us, which is how tariffs work. We can say goodbye to caps on the price of medications, a program to help support home health care, and social security. I don’t know if you rely on ss, but I bet you know someone who does. Big business is going to have huge tax breaks and no incentive to decrease prices that are already way too high. This isn’t funny and we’re all going to suffer.
I agree with Harriet. There's too much evidence that Trump's controlled opposition. He's likely to sell us out to BlackRock, WEF, the Federal Reserve and, the Bank for International Settlements. I do hope we're wrong though.
WOW! Harriet is right, and you don't have to be rude.
Well,it will postpone Armageddon a little bit longer. Harris couldnt wait to feast on Gaza babies,you could see her drooling.
Lol
Yeah y'all have spoken loudly, now it's time for you to grab your ankles and wait for what comes next, whether you like it or not
We just saved the country. You’re welcome, Karen. I mean Barbara.
Yes, Barbara. We know what we voted for. We enjoyed it from 2016-2020. Biden fell asleep at the wheel while the far left ran wild. We look forward to a closed border again. We hold on for all the prices to go back down. We are happy to drill baby drill and lower gas prices. Putin & Kim Jun are nervous as hell right now. The real man is back. No more allowing guys to win girls sports stealing victories and scholarships from hard working ladies. The madness has to stop. Loud and clear. Senate. House. We took it all. America 🇺🇸
Putin isn’t scared of Trump you silly man. The Don was the best choice out of a terrible binary decision but let’s not pretend he isn’t utterly sub par.
America needs to do better than the likes of Biden, Harris, Trump etc.
Nope. We've spoken loud and clear. We want TRUMP to get the job done buddy. You just refuse to listen. I thought you were WOKE? Wake up and accept the country believes in President Trump. We like it. We love it. We want some more of it.
I’m not woke you idiot and the country certainly doesn’t want Trump (look at the percentage of Trumo voters vs total adult population).
He’s preferable to Harris but that’s an extremely low bar.
After 4 years nothing will have changed for the average Joe, you’ll still be the embittered peasant you are now.
Take my advice. Open a 401K. Trump is back baby. Learn to love it. You guys couldn't even win 1 of the 7 swing states. It's over pal. Suck it up. We took the Senate too. Popular vote President Donald Trump won by MILLIONS. Read that again mazirian. MAGA!

Trump has never fought for regular Americans
Regular Americans say he has fought for them. I think affordable groceries and gas prices was good for me, as well as Trump getting our soldiers out of Iraq.
He tanked the economy, added 7 trillion to our debt, and unemployment was 14%, Trump doesn't give a fuck about Americans
The grown ups are laughing at you, Jennifer
Nope, she speaks the truth. Obama left him with much and he left Biden with little. It boggles the brain that in 2020 voters couldn't wait to be rid of orange, Biden won by a landslide. How short the memory can be!! And how is it that Puerto Ricans are gluttons for punishment???? Raise Ike from the dead.
I remember cheaper groceries and gas. Were you in a foreign country during Trump's first term?
Enjoy your tariffs you fucking idiot
Anything that promotes American manufacturing is ok by me.
Who does? Fat,stupid and full of themselves. Oh,I think I'm American. Oh My God!
The Plandemic tanked the economy, and yes, it was DJT who declared the medical state of emergency on March 13, 2020.
No Jennifer that was a world wide PANDEMIC from.....CHINA. But the media went crazy on him for blaming them. Years later it's overwhelmingly accepted. He was right of course. That Wuhan lab was no joke.
No matter where it came from, it was here and orange said nothing to it. It will go away shortly. Deny, deny, deny. Remember the original name, novel corona virus. That means that it was unheard of before. He would not take advice from Dr. Fauci or any scientists. He trashed the pandemic plan he got from Obama. Advised horse meds and bleach. F...... Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!
Enjoy those tariffs. I sure hope you don't believe the tRump lies about how others pay for them. Nope, it'll be you. Enjoy.
He "reigned" during a pandemic, remember that little thing? And NO PRESIDENT controls grocery prices. But if anything goes down, dummy will take credit. Lets not mention the So. African buying votes. Biden has done a good job with the economy, corporate America gouging is not up to him. Just you wait when there are no bodies to pick veggies. I ges you are OK with the cruelty that is his style. See Jennifer Weltz. That is the truth. Whent the going gets tough, dummy will fold like paper. He won't last long anyway. CatLady wants the job.
It so wonderful to be lectured by unrepentant Iraq War cheerleader Bill Kristol on how Americans made a bad choice. Any update on those Weapons of Mass Destruction, Bill?
He'll need to talk to Liz Cheney and get back to you. ;)
Isn’t there anything President Biden can do? I mean, Trump is a felon and should not have been allowed to even run according to our constitution? What about the trial for January 6 th? Is all this going to be ignored? He is not the president yet!!!! Although I guess that would leave JD Vance the president if something prevents Trump from the inauguration. Yes, I’m looking for a solution. This was worse than how I felt in 2016 because Trump is a felon!!!! I thought if there was a landslide that Harris would have gotten it.

Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Which is a feverish obsession with hating trump 😬
It's the Trump Contagion that infected the susceptible. Look it up. I'm going to be here watching the devastating effects when a lot of his voters realize how it affects them.
Trump Deity Syndrome
His convictions are not final. They are on appeal and are unlikely to hold up. Word is that the Smith prosecutions are about to be dismissed. And the Willis prosecution is likewise negatively impacted by the Supreme Court presidential immunity ruling, although I think it unlikely she will dismiss the cases. Plus the American people knew all about the cases when they voted for him. Most did not care. Actually that is not right. It likely helped him as the very obvious attempts to use the justice system humanized him in the eyes of many. And it angered many others. I predict that an unintended consequence of it will be systematic criminal justice reform. They messed with the wrong brother.
The fact that his convictions will be dismissed angers me. Trump gets away with so much. He shouldn’t have been allowed to even run for office according to our constitution!! There’s too much corruption in our government!!
Also, I don’t want any rumors to start. These happen to easily!
This was a complete fake election. Trump said as much months ago when he told a crowd they didn't have to vote. Everyone on CNN and MSNBC is falling in line. Morning Joe is acting like this is a great thing. I believe Scarborough was in on the conspiracy from the start. He would not let any guests say Harris was ahead. Democracy is lost. There is nothing we can do. We may as well live in Hungary, same thing.
I’m surprised cause Scarborough Joe doesn’t like Trump.
Eric you lost. Big time. Suck it up. Abandon conspiracy and join reality. We have a gorgeous first Lady again. We have a President that twice made it through assassination attempts as he was running for another term. Inflation will be defeated. No new Wars. Closed border again. Of course the networks are accepting because Trump won in a landslide.
This election just didn’t feel right!! With all the excitement that Harris’s rally’s brought how could this have happened? Sure, it was disappointing and I was angry, but I just couldn’t understand how it was a landslide for Trump. It made no sense!! What about “The Secret” that Trump was sharing with Mike Johnson? For me, something felt very off!!!!
Try not watching the MSM, you’ll learn the truth if you’re even a little bit open minded.
What news network isn't MSM?
There’s lots of places to look, try Dave Rubin, he’s been there. His ‘Red Pill Moment’ with Larry Elder is priceless. I only watch sports on TV, 23 years without watching or reading The News has made me better educated and very nervous.
MSM not only spouts DARPA disinformation, but avoids the most pressing issues such as fiat currency with its forced irredeemable debt service and non disclosure of its source, the take over of the pharmaceutical industry by the Defense Department, the democide prosecuted by Central Banks and BlackRock, sex trafficking of minors by some of the most powerful people on the planet, extortion by the very officials who should protect us from extortion, persecution of whistle blowers such as Snowden, Assange , Manning, and many others, the hostility of elites towards common people, intentional disruption of the food supply, weather modification resulting in LaHaina fire and hurricane damage to South Eastern U.S., how to protect your immunology, global genocide of Christians and other non Muslims, Jihad, Sharia Law, agenda of Jesuit Pope Francis I, perfidy of the United Nations, NATO, WHO and the global influence of Communist China, Iran, Venezuela, Brazil, North Korea, machinations of MOSSAD and our own intelligence community,. The list of issues MSN should cover, but neglects is much longer that the issues it does address.
You failed to name a NEWS network. TruthSocial.com? X? And please don't ASSUME I'm a democrat because I'm not. I'm an Independent. I vote for people, not parties. Everything you listed I can watch on CNN.
Great! I'm pleased to hear from you that CNN has avoided BlackRock, FED, CIA, HHS, DoD, and NSA editing. However, I don't share your confidence in CNN as a news source because CNN's focus seems to be on deep state approved distraction and never on the issues I mentioned. BTW I didn't assume anything about you since before your response I was not aware of your existence. My comments are directed to everyone, regardless of political party orientation or preference.
Use a trustworthy search engine (not google), search what you’re interested in, you’ll find lots of opinions to help form your own. I’ve used DUCK DUCK GO with success in the past.

You do realise that Jesus Christ was a full on socialist, don't you?
BS. The Ten Commandments say don't covet or steal your neighbors stuff. Socialism does not have private property. Also he says the poor will always be among you. Read the words, not what you want to see. Socialism requires forcing people to do things by a state that has guns, aka violence. Jesus wants you to give to the poor out of your heart.
Too many people confuse socialism, you know, public good shared by society, with communism. If you use Medicare, public roads, schools etc, you're using benefits of socialist policy. You shouldn't be afraid.
The classical definition of socialism is state ownership of the means of production. Marx and Engels chose the word "Communist" for the Communist Manifesto in 1848 because it was less alarming at that time than socialism. The appearance at that time (that communism was voluntarily communal, a deliberate deception), whereas then socialism implied coerced seizure of private business and commercial enterprise. Communism became the scary word after the Bolshevik revolution. Socialist/communists then called themselves "progressives" to avoid the coercion stigma.
You might appreciate Pope Francis's reflection on that line from Mark's gospel, here.
Excerpt: "Jesus not only sides with the poor; he also shares their lot. This is a powerful lesson for his disciples in every age. This is the meaning of his observation that “the poor you will always have with you”. The poor will always be with us, yet that should not make us indifferent, but summon us instead to a mutual sharing of life that does not allow proxies." https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/messages/poveri/documents/20210613-messaggio-v-giornatamondiale-poveri-2021.html#:~:text=1.,poured%20it%20over%20Jesus'%20head.
The Ten Commandments came to Moses. Jesus gave us The Beatitudes (Blessed are the poor; etc.)
I don't disagree w your first part about the meaning of the poor will always be among us, but it has nothing to do with whether a state should demand you help them the way the state demands they be helped. (I for instance, I volunteer at my at my local kitchen regularly.) Regarding 10 commandments- Jesus said he did not come to abolish the laws of Moses, but in fact made them more serious- so that argument makes no sense. Jesus was a Jew. He died because we are imperfect and can't follow the laws on our own.
Socialism might work for communal living among small groups..but it has been catastrophic for nations: North Korea, U.S.S.R, China, Venezuela, Cuba, etc.
If you look at places like Venezuela, you'll find that any socialist government has been overthrown by the USA long before they can get started. The others you mention are not socialist, they are communist. Big difference. History matters.
Once again the word “socialist “
Is being misused as a substitute for “Communist “. Socialism is not a specific ideology but a spectrum, incorporating a variety of governmental systems. The UK, Canada, Sweden, France, etc., have elements of private enterprise as well as government control. But they are all forms of democracy. Their citizens determine what points on the spectrum they wish to occupy.
Communism, on the other hand, exercises total state control of the means of production. There is no private property. It isn’t part of any spectrum, but a rigid ideological structure. It’s the antithesis of democracy.

Mehdi Hasan: [F]or me, the moment Harris lost this election came on Oct. 8, in an interview on The View, when she was asked if she would have done anything differently than Biden over the past four years. Her answer? “There is not a thing that comes to mind.”
No Mahdi, the election was lost on Oct. 7 - 2023.

Kamala’s abortion platform violates one of the tenets of the 10 commandments. Thou shalt not kill. There is Divine intervention why she lost.
Really then why kill women who just want to have a healthy pregnancy by allowing them to bleed to death? That is cool, right. Or an ectopic pregnancy which will also kill the woman. Or a fetus that has already died so the woman can get sepsis and die. Or doesn't the woman count? She's just a jar, something to use? I hope no one you ever know is EVER put in that position.
Except literally no know one dies in an abortion. There is NO baby. The willfull ignorance of forced birthers is astounding
So what is the fetus (Latin word for infant), chopped liver, product of conception, malignant tumor?

Um, all those things will cost more with the proposed tariffs/ You don't honestly believe Trump, do you?
It has to be done by an amendment and ratified by the states...
Doesn’t matter, Doubter, if we believe Trump. It’s coming anyway. And lots of other good stuff. Unstoppable.
The key to last night seems to be that voters literally switched off the Democratic Party and Harris.
The popular vote tells the tale. In 2020 Biden received 81,284,666 votes.
In 2024 Harris received, more or less, subject to final counts, but close enough that it won’t materially change, 69,031,869 votes.
In 2024 Trump received 74,015,748 votes, almost identical, subject to final adjustments that again won’t materially change anything, to what he received in 2020.
If the same number of Democrats had showed up to support Harris, as who had supported Biden, she would be President-elect today. But she’s not and there’s only one answer to that, the members of her own Party were turned off her, and the Party, and stayed home to show their disapproval.
In large part I agree with you. It was up to Harris to lose and, by purposefully ignoring everyone but the bureaucrats and diehards, she committed political suicide. The Gaza genocide, a failure to connect with laborers and an inability to articulate were, in my mind, what doomed her.
There's also the possibility that through efforts of Judicial Watch and like minded local activists that voter rolls were purged of approximately 3 million, dead, fake, alien, moved away, and duplicate ballots nation wide.
Lots of problems with the Democrats.
For starters.
They nominated Hillary. So we got Trump.
They didn't learn and then nominated another woman. Which again ended up with Trump winning.
Trump has not beaten anyone. The Dems handed these elections to him.
Misogyny and bigotry are real and they can and do provide White males with an advantage. Mayor Pete is great. Can't win because he's gay. The US is not ready for him either. So where is a young, smart Democrat and White Male that could have beaten Trump? Biden didn't step away because he felt it was up to him to beat Trump again. A good leader and a good organization prepares others to take over. The Dems have no system set up.
Politics is a popularity contest foremost. It's not about intellectual ideas. Voters are for the most part stupid. Dems, Republicans, Independents and any other party.
It's just the demographics of how humans think or better yet can't or don't think.
Obama was a gifted speaker. He commanded a stage. Where is that Democrat?
That many so called smart Americans are easily conned and are gullible doesn't help either. Many are great at math, accomplished in business, hard workers, rich even, yet they fall for cult nonsense. It's human nature. They can't help it. Many are attracted to authoritarian leaders. They can't help it.
The majority of Americans can't tell fact from fiction.
They do not understand correlation and causation.
Many can't overcome the misinformation and propaganda their minds are subjected to. They may actually believe that they are doing due diligence concerning the candidates. They are not self aware that bots direct their minds to websites that will only confirm what they read or saw earlier. Their minds subconsciously will seek out confirmation bias.
What liberal and rational minds own TV stations in rural America? The MSM is corporate. They care about profits and viewers. So the MSM was complicit in providing a criminal the free airtime to push his lies for over 8 years. Social media made it free. Why don't liberal minds and Democrats have their anti Fox outlets in rural areas? Cheaper to own the stations than to pay to advertise on them.
All that said the Democrats have not been good at messaging. They keep appealing to groups that are in the margins. Which is nice but it isn't a winning strategy. When illegal immigration is a huge concern to voters doing nothing loses elections. When African Americans see their neighborhoods flooded with migrants, their local park district center turned into a migrant shelter they will react and blame the Democrats in charge.
So yes we do need a society that is open to all. Free of bigotry and misogyny.
To accomplish that winning the elections comes first.
Losing set back women's rights 50 years.
It may set back LGBTQ rights as well.
It may end our system of free and fair elections. As feeble as those elections have been over the years the illusion of some kind of choice made Americans feel that this is a representative republic. Both parties gamed the system and it isn't working. Trump is only going to make things worse. He's not a benevolent dictator. None exist. He's going to massively mess up the country for everyone. Including his supporters.
A stupid slogan and simple promises that appeal to the average American mind worked. They don't know his policies are ignorant or that he's only out for himself. They like and are attracted to his promises even if he has no intention of delivering on them.
How many coal miners did Trump get jobs for? How many steelworker jobs were created. The answer is zero for both.
Sure it's not the Dems fault that the Republican Party turned into a cult of personality.
Many liberals underestimate the numbers of irrational voters and keep trying to reason with them.
Can't reason with people that don't use reason to reach their conclusions about subjects.
If they don't adjust their messaging to reach such voters it won't change.
Had Covid not happened the orangutan would not have needed to try a coup. He would have won by a lot.
When Crypto crashes "it's a total scam and it's only a matter of time" will the Dems have positioned themselves as being on the side of those being taken advantage of? Or are they complicit too?
It might cause another recession similar to 2008. How big is this pyramid scheme and where is the money going and who is going to lose it?
If it happens before Trump is in office then people won't realize he's a part of the scam. Again propaganda and lies can be used to blame the blameless and let the conmen profit and then project their illegal actions onto others.
Want to stop Fascism and Authoritarianism?
Stop buying products from the fascists that are behind this.
Don't buy a Tesla.
Don't shop at Hobby Lobby.
Don't post on X or Twitter.
Don't drink Coors Beer or it's other brands.
Don't get boxes from Uline.
Don't stay at the Venetian. Or buy tickets to see the Mavericks.
On and on. You decide how your money is spent.
I canceled Direct TV. Why? Because Fox News gets about $5 per subscriber to be a part of their plan. I'm not going to subsidize their lies and propaganda.
There are other cars, other beers, other boxes and many TV channels.
50 million boycotting will reduce their income. Which is what they care about.
Or don't and keep complaining and writing poor excuses for why we have elected a parasite to our highest office.
Rant over for now.
And Fauci, Pelosi, Hunter Biden ... made nothing from the Biden presidential years? Gimme a break!! There's corruption on all sides. Where have you been?
