He typed it twice and I repeated it for effect. ‘Obammy’. Why is this dehumanizing you may be asking yourself. (Or not not sure there is much of an internal dialogue) because not using his name, Obama, is an attempt to minimize and diminish (kinda like all the little nick names the felon uses (why is my using ‘the felon” not the same you may also be asking. Well I’m being descriptive of his actual actions and status. If I call him rump or dump well then I’d be in the same ball park. “First black president” as cover now everyone wants to remind us he’s half white, and raised by white parents, yet there was no hesitation to use racist black tropes though out his 8 years as president, and following since. you guys can say what ever you want, I’m not the language police, I’m just pointing out how your words are landing. YMMV.

A leader of a Peruvian gang wanted for 23 murders in Peru was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Thursday, according to the agency. Torres-Navarro, 38, entered into the U.S. on May 16, near Roma, Texas, and a month ago authorities were notified he was wanted in Peru for murders. so it wasn’t know when he crossed/was released he was wanted for murders in Peru, so they released him for immigration violations. Only 2 months later were the informed and a month after that he was arrested. Di he commit and crimes or murder any one in the US. Were any TBD Peruvian residents hurt or killed?

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I am persistently surprised at the social issues dominating these discussions. It’s my understanding that most (vast majority) after 15 weeks are health of the mother/no viable genetic disease related. I disagree that it’s evil and instead believe it’s wrong to not provide parents and babies with better post birth support. Longer maternity leave, tax credits, etc. Allowing children to make life altering decisions about their sex/gender, and furthermore limiting parents in their efforts to view it as a phase (which for many it is). Again I think this is a canard to distract, but having been a teen, parents can be cruel and kids can’t support themselves so they have to hide who they are. To me destigmatizing people choices of who they are would go a long way to taking the temp on this down, from both sides (parent and child) this strikes me as punitive and blaming the victim for making the parent uncomfortable. I’ve also know friend with kids who have experimented and ended up “normal and letting kids feel free to experiment and find their truth rather than being forced into something that leads to years of struggle and shame seems a better way. Again my understanding of the border is that not much changed, and even title 42 was foisted back on them by the SCOTUS. The entire boarder issues strikes me as performative (the felon canning the bill for political gain, doing nothing while pres and the nothing burger since GB II from R’s is my reasoning, easy to dump on D’s). So solutions. Increase agents, and capacity, use tech to track asylum seekers, issue everyone a ss card and tax them. Hold employers to standards for hiring non-us citizens. Note the no tax on cash tip is ripe for exploiting undocumented workers…. I gave Steve a big bonus, and he paid the construction crew. I think people are going to come no matter what, responsibility adding them to society is a net benefit. Business’ operate at the pleasure of the government. You get a business license. Business taxes are too low in my opinion, but that mostly relates to large and multi national corps. A progressive tax rate is the most fair, make more pay more. And an alternative minimum on large corps to ensure they are paying something. Additionally providing small and medium sized business with access to capital or employee development/growth tax credits seems like a win win to me. Paying tax means you are making a profit, the taxes help provide the environment for that to continue (roads, defense etc.) as you can tell I strongly believe in regulation, 40 hour weeks, weekends, safety standards etc. I’m sorry to hear about your brother. I do hope he is okay now. COVID is joke. But the scientific evidence to me seems to say the vaccines are safe statistically though nothing is 100%) and the vaccines have allowed Covid to rage though the population for the last 2 years with a huge decrease in adverse outcomes. That said I don’t know the particulars of your and your brother’s situation. Again I’m sorry he was caught in between. Boosters are not unusual, flu shots for example, additionally Covid was/is novel so boosters help the immune system adapt is my understanding. I don’t find the Covid response as authoritarian however, it seems to me more like traffic rules, right side of the road, speed limit etc, designed for the common good. Could there be nuance sure. We are not at war. Respected. Interesting choice of words. Also I m not sure what off ramp there was, Ukraine can not as a country let 20% of its population be tortures murdered and raped because it’s uncomfortable for the US. I liken it to someone invading your neighbors home, do you give them a gun and one bullet and tell them that it’s only a couple rooms and they have two other daughters so so don’t worry about the one they have upstairs ? Do you give them enough to clear their house and save their daughter. I think the use of US weapons (ATCAMs for example a 30-40 year old design wiping out top end Russian AD assets at will) seems to speak to US power. We are not involved in a proxy war. We provide Ukraine with old weapons to protect themselves, and we by buy new ones for our troops. 5% 10% of the Defense budget. It might be the biggest jobs program in history (and there are issues with socialism for large defense corps but kinda a separate issue). I have strong views on the war against Ukraine. They signed an agreement relinquishing their inherited atomic weapons. We agreed to protect the and Russia agreed to not invade. We should have done a lot more in 2014. We should have done a lot more in 2022-23-24. The issue to me is not do people respect us or seems more like you are saying fear us, vs will they trust us to stand with them and stand up for our word. The latter is more important to me. Biden could have done more, done it faster and in greater quantities imho, but I’m not a general just an interested nerd. However providing more sooner could have sent a much stronger message to potential troublemakers (which are all instigated by Putin) that we are serious and they should sit the ***** down. Biological men in women’s sports and women’s locker rooms is disgraceful policy and a gross viewpoint to have. Biden-Harris Admin effectively dismantled Title IX about a month ago. Eh, this is not important to me to be honest. Orgs set the rules parent weigh in, kids can choose to participate or not. If enough don’t then the rules change. While,looking at this chart the changes seem pretty minor. what is obvious is this ‘issue” is designed to demand outrage and create a binary choice / single issue vote decision. (Similar to abortion, or talk about ‘family’). Well there are already ways (and it seems pretty standard) to prevent price gouging in emergencies. And there are anti trust laws to prevent monopolies from price fixing themselves. Again what is the point of government. To me it is ‘we the people creating a more perfect union’, it’s not corporate profits. Now small business & corporations may be needed to employ people but that doesn’t give them cabtblac to pollute or abuse or unlimited profits, since their workers have to live as well. This is the balance and frankly I believe the balance has been off since the 1980’s when Regan and the neo cons desired the ‘starve the beast’ for their gain. Just like unions and corporations there needs to be a balance if either side wins too much then it unbalance the situation. In my opinion the pendulum has been on the side of corporations the last 40+ years and it needs to swing back towards serving the people. at the end of the day, I don’t see our positions is too far apart. I see them more on a continuum. I do see the social issues as ways to divide and inflame. And I do see the choice between an administration you could negotiate with Harris versus an administration that is going to sell everyone out to the benefit of one person. Think you like the policies now once he’s in charge it’s whatever he wants or more likely whatever who pays him the most wants. Related to above. About manufactured outrage.

Maybe try respecting others. what about her policies are offensive. I’m truly curious. what policies do you want? Thing about a Harris administration and the lib/commie/marxist is we’ll listen to your feelings and try and solve a problem. Folding your arms and going hummp isn’t a policy discussion.
-
It’s amusing on here the crew of “but no policies” and “the lib media” attack her constantly for not posting a policy then they attack that policy for not being i don’t even know, bigger tax cuts for the super wealthy maybe or deporting all the colored poors, but they let the FELON sex predator failed casino owner, steak seller, university president, child charity owner who stole the money and failed former president who led an insurrection who’s lawyers are losing their license and pleading guilty to election crimes ramble about sharks and batteries and wind mills and dead birds and how much he like communist authoritarian leaders and are like yea no policies from him but he tells it like it is. he is like the dumbest person. Literally dumb. Yea we’re good with that.

you are wrong. The stigma is part of the problem. (Look at all the I’m not gay so doesn’t matter to me posts on here). Look mr uncomfortable truths, my point is and has been it’s not a gay disease or caused by pride month(yes a poster said that in the thread some Kid some don’t) and the article and quote pretty nearly sums up why it’s important to make that clear. They already face a lot of stigma in society. Gay transgender and any non cis lifestyle is often on this board attacked mocked or made fun of, and sure I love a good couch joke as much as the next dem/commie/libtard but also there is a significant rise in authoritarian tendencies in this country, and those marginalized populations deserve protection not ridicule. That is a slippery slope to all kinds of dehumanization (you know like calling people litards, commies, Marxist or trumpers/fascists). I lived through the AIDS crisis when it was unknown what caused it and watched the president actively ignore those people, those Americans, who he didn’t approve of who suffered and died. And they weren’t all gay. you want to tell uncomfortable truths, try not shaming people who you “don’t approve of” while doing it. note I’m not arguing the fact that it is prevalent in the gay community, but it is not cause by and not limited to gay lifestyles. And as we learned in the 80’s you rarely know all the people your partner has slept with and all of the people they have slept with etc, and virus don’t care. The not ‘billstime’ guy out.

Also from the article. (Note: Is monkeypox a gay disease? No. Monkeypox appears to be spreading now among some sexual and social networks of gay and bisexual men and other men who have sex with men (MSM). However, there is no such thing as a gay disease. Viruses and bacteria can and do infect anyone regardless of sexual orientation. It is also not a sexually transmitted infection. Instead, it is spread through close contact, as previously described. Anyone can get monkeypox, including heterosexual people, women, transgender and nonbinary people, and others. It is important not to stereotype gay and bisexual men and/or Africans as bearers of disease. Gay and bisexual men and African immigrants already experience significant stigma and prejudice and are vulnerable to discrimination and violence victimization. Stigma about gay and bisexual people, including laws criminalizing homosexuality and same-sex behavior which still exist in many countries, may cause men who have sex with men to fear disclosing their same-sex behavior. This may also make them reluctant to disclose that they are part of social and sexual networks that are disproportionately affected by the current outbreak, making prevention of the spread of monkeypox more difficult. The public health response to this outbreak of monkeypox should not be allowed to exacerbate homophobia and racism and the scapegoating of gay and bisexual men and African immigrants.

J.D. Vance - Character and Policies

This guy owns Vance. (Made his career & almost singlehanded funded his campaign in Ohio). he’s buddies with his PayPal (don’t call it the original X) Elmo. when they tell you they want to destroy the country they immigrated to believe them. a crypto company town is not a future any sane person wants for this country. -
This question game is tiring. (Poster was gay shaming, it’s not a “gay disease “). In general I believe vaccines work and are warranted if monkey pox reaches ‘dangerous levels’ lock downs etc are appropriate responses to a novel virus that is little understood, the population lacks immunity (novel), and its airborne transmitted. Thing is like antibiotics you have to take the whole course so twice as long as the incubation period with close to 100% compliance should put a highly infectious virus out of commission. Unfortunately that’s not what happened and so multiple were tried and only partially successful and millions world wide died. Disappointing to say the least in the 21st century. I’m not sure lockdown would be appropriate for monkey pox unless it became airborne.

So now you believe the MSM ‘cause it supports your view. The article I cited was from a health org. Again if you have a peer reviewed or other medical reviewed article that says it’s a gay problem then fine. But this cherry picking because it’s some conspiracy to destroy the economy/ scare people or shame gays is lame. also as the planet warms and humans expand into previously undeveloped lands and travel continues to be so open and free then yes it’s likely we will have more not less infectious diseases. This is another knock on effect of climate change and population growth.

Obviously you didn’t read the pdf. “Cuddling. Kissing. Vaginal secretions.” All vectors for spreading. Just ‘cause you can’t get laid doesn’t make it gay centric. Really, you might want to read your post back to yourself out loud so you can hear how ***** up you sound. now if you want to find a legit scientific paper and charge that with the class showing that it’s gay centric and not some “I don’t like their lifestyle” smear we can have a discussion on the merits.
-
It’s not a “gay disease” grow up. Try reading something. Try learning something for a change.
-
I believe you are worried about the wrong people and the wrong lies. (They have made enemies out what are actually normal American political positions) also was the old one ear shot? He was shot at, but was he really shot? (I know I know that fbi guy said, but photos of his ear show NOTHING, no medical report and no one wants to talk about it anymore (on his side). BTW the former general at the bottom called for the felon’s assassination. Most Americans are busy they don’t want to follow all of this political *****, and really they have had enough, the swing in the polls is less about Harris and more about shutting up the crazy guy so they can get back to work. Also Rasmussen is a joke.

I have read a lot of dumb ***** on this board, but this is probably the dumbest, by a good margin. -
Stable genius with all the best bests and not even very bad VP. Really. Or weird at all.

I think he is saying that’s a bad thing.

Listen to this woman hating man’s club member. JFC. We had to listen to Glenn beck whine about Shriya law, and then this American Taliban want to do it as ‘Christians’. no matter you position on taxes, or spending this ***** is straight up unAmerican and weird. women get their say by their husband, father or brother’s vote. He says with no irony. Masking it in this talk of families as molecules as opposed to individual atoms. Um, the us constitution literally doesn’t even mention families it mentions individual liberty. So when ‘dems’ say they are protecting democracy this is what they mean, crazy men who want to keep ‘everyone’ from voting, so they can be the ruling class and tell everyone what and how to live their lives.
