It’s not illegal to question results of an election, as many democrats took advantage of when they questioned the election results and called him a  fake president in 2016. He never asked anyone to falsify results. Lots of people use the term fight in regards to protest. In the same speech he said to be peaceful not once but multiple times 

Such as? 
 

Did you watch your own clip? He never said he was against gay marriage. The second one, provide a video. Anyone can edit text over a screenshot.  Biden came out in 2012, after gays were readily accepted by society, against his own storied history of voting against gay rights and saying terrible things about them. Just like he did with black people before realizing he needed both demographics to keep his political career puttering along.

Obama could've codified abortion rights into law when dems had control of both houses and the presidency. They didn't. They didn't many times over. A national ban after a certain amount of time (e.g. 13 weeks like in Germany) is perfectly acceptable. With exceptions for the health of the mother and criminal acts like rape etc. This all or nothing approach in this fkn country is revolting. One side wants abortions up until the last month basically and the other wants to outlaw them all together. It's utter idiocy and we are all getting played. Both sides are working the same fkn playbook every four years and most Americans just keep repeating shit like sheep, void of even the slightest hint of original thought. Bred like cattle to identify with one of the two sides.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg holding on to her seat with her dying grubby hands should've retired when asked by Obama but no, corrupted by power and greed she undid everything she worked for and is to blame for the reversal of Roe vs. Wade, so blame her and the dems ffs. A compromise on some sort of a nation wide abortion bad is what is going to happen.
The country is 35 TRILLION dollar in debt. In comparison the total GDP of the US in 2023 was 28.78 trillion. We cannot afford the healthcare system the dems created under the ACA. It's not working. There were no cost control measures. No limits on what these Pharma companies can charge. No imports allowed from other western countries whose quality control is often superior to the FDA's. Sure, for the very poor and those who get heavily subsidized it's a great deal, and for Big Pharma but that's coming from all our hard earned money. We can't afford immigrants straining the healthcare system. Estimates are that over 20 million have entered the country illegally over the last decade. 10 million in the last 3,5 years alone. Maybe it's too large of a number for some people to comprehend but the population of Croatia for example is 3.8 million. That's almost the amount of people that crossed the boarder in 2023 alone. It's a shit ton of fkn people. It's draining the country and people feel it. Venezuelan street gangs terrorizing NYers. Crime is up despite what the Mayor keeps saying. We all see it, experience it and feel it.
My health insurance went from 550$ for a platinum plan when the ACA got implemented to now 930$ for a gold plan. Next years it's going up to 1230$, same amount it was pre the ACA only now everything else is more expensive and in my field budges are down so I'm making less money overall. It's not working. None of it. No, republicans can't fix it either but I get why people are frustrated.
Gay marriage wouldn't be an issue and we would've had it much sooner if rabid activists hadn't insisted on calling it marriage. Civil union or legal partnership with the same rights would've been fine and the rabid right wing clowns wouldn't have a foot to stand on but that's all this fkn county has, endless battles over cultural issues that if only tweaked slightly would not be a problem. 
All this rambling to just say people have every reason to vote for republicans if that's what they want to do. I'd never vote for Trump but I fully understand why people support the idiot and that's solely the fault of democrats not delivering on key issues. Both sides fkn suck and ideally the whole system needs a fkn reboot.
Trump would've NEVER been president the first time if Hillary and her arrogantly misguided GAY campaign manager Robby Mook hadn't taken the voters in the rust belt for granted. She didn't stop there ONCE to connect with people and get them on her side. Instead, as some of you people do, they called these people names, foolish etc etc. Not engaging with then, not taking their concerns seriously and thinking YOUR concerns about gay marriage etc are more valid than theirs, is what got us in this Trump mess to begin with. So do fkn better.
 
Over and out.

Well for one, Madonna didn’t write a song whose title and lyrics alluded to his crimes and then invite him to sing on it, or go on an interview spree claiming they’ve both had untruths written about them. Oh, and she didn’t pretend to fellate him onstage, or make a music video where he played a doctor messing with her unconscious body. So, that’s the difference for me. 

Because you don’t get to dictate how I spend my time. 

I think we have different definitions of critical thinking. Mine doesn’t involve losing myself to my emotions or calling people names. 

Trump works mostly on decentralizing power I think.
And though I agree be isnt the most “diplomatic” I believe he is like alot of politicians , minus the filter.
I would also refrain from basing my opinion on traditional media. They lie, edit and recontextualize.
When I branched out to other sources of info, my understanding became more balanced, more comprehensive. As  opposed to divisive.
I ended up fully understanding what Roe V Wade is and Trump overturning it doesnt mean he is trying to take away women’s rights.
I would encourage everyone to be more inquisitve. More curious.
I used to spit out alot of tropes and mantras as well not even understanding why I was saying what I was saying.
I was just repeatinf what id heard.
Think for yourself.
And if you still believe the same things, then at least youll have concrete information to defend your point of view and explain it clearly to other people as opposed to just insulting them and tying their worth to their polling opinions.

I have no love for Charli. I find her brand more style than substance which is largely the point of her so fine. It's not a great fit for Madonna tbh and the sceptic in me tells me it's just another opportunity for Madonna to over autotune her vocals. Britney is a perfect for for XCX

quote my actual post, not your inner thoughts. 

Great. Also please quote my transphobia that you’ve claimed. I’ll wait. 

As always you have to be fact checked. At no time were transgender people banned from enlisting. 
 
protecting trans rights in prisons? It’s not a right to go into the prison of the gender you identify as. There are multiple instances of women being raped in prison by men who identify as women who were convicted of raping women and demanded to be put in women’s prison. Do the women in those prisons deserve protection? Prisons are separated by sex because of the huge disparity in physical strength between men and women that could get someone hurt. 
 
I don’t have e time to go through your other claims. But I’m sure there’s similar holes in logic and reality.

You could just as easily ask what Kamala’s policies are and what in particular she’s accomplished?  I can tell you I see nothing distinguishing her policies from Joe Biden’s. They’re both puppets for the exact same people, the overall DNC. I’m not convinced Trump isn’t a puppet on his end either. However, not liking Trump isn’t a good reason to deny that Biden and Harris have little identity when it comes to policy. Trump being bad doesn’t make Harris good. 
Also rallies aren’t typically the place to discuss policy. They’re to rile up a base who already supports you and get them excited about going to the voting booth, which is true for both parties. Just like a pep rally in high school.

I think the democrat base is turning former democrats off, because everything they stand for goes against traditional liberalism. They shunned everyone who didn’t repeat their ideas word for word, and that’s resulted in a lot of people no longer wanting to be part of the party. It’s like they shove people out the door then ask why they’re leaving.

I love when two funny guys can get together on opposite sides of the fence and can make so much sense of the nonsense on both sides. Bill Mauer: "we can be polarized, but we can also be friends"  "The disagreements can be profound, but, there are 90 other things we CAN agree on."  
 

There’s many things to dislike about Trump, but he has always supported gay marriage, which cannot be said of our current president who I’ve seen many of you express support for before he stepped down from running.

"Oh Mary" has been getting rave reviews.  From what I hear it's outrageously hilarious comedic spoof of the lives of Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd Lincoln. The show portrays Mary as someone who longs to live a life away from politics and be a vaudeville performer, while Lincoln uses her as a beard to hide his sexuality, and is often away from home dealing with the issues of the Civil War, leaving her alone in the White House. Sounds fun!!
