I want to engage this question earnestly, b/c it’s a legit question. The answer is yes, I do look at left, too.
Left-wing activists are responsible for 2% of murders committed by political extremists in the US over the past decade; right-wing activists are responsible for 74%.
It's funny how the female reporter is just sitting there all calm while the man who told you that a woman is too emotional to be president is having a full blown crash out on national TV.
Maine voter asked about Platner: "Probing into the minutiae of his personal relationships when you don't do that for any other candidate is ridiculous."
@ScottPresler God is beyond all forms of duality bc his existence is beyond our comprehension. This makes him both male and female but also neither. He both is and is not. That is the true way to understand the ultimate creative deity of all things.
Trump wears tons of makeup, loves interior decorating, his favorite band is the Village People, and he can’t stop talking about how hot guys are. Just an observation.

This is obviously 100% fake, originally fabricated by a leftist blogger with mental health issues. On one hand, I really didn’t want to respond because it’s so dumb. On the other hand, it’s Exhibit A of how toxic politics works & it happens often enough that I feel some obligation to lift the curtain on how the game is played. So here goes:
I’m a Cavs fan. Love going to their games, always have, I’ve been going for decades. My wife and I bought courtside tickets for Game 4 against the Knicks, and our team got smoked. It was brutal. The two of us watched the game, face in hands, in disbelief and dejection during the second half, then peaced out right after the buzzer straight to our car (accompanied by state-provided security the entire time).
No, we did not stick around to watch the Knicks celebrate their romping. There is literally no amount of money on Earth you could have paid me to sit around and watch them collect their Eastern Conference trophy, let alone watch them parade off the court to their locker room. A sharp poke in the eye would’ve been more pleasant.
But then, a left-wing Ohio blogger with mental health issues publishes that not only did I wait until after the ceremony, but that I lingered around & tried to enter the Knicks’ locker room after the game, and told them I wanted “welcome” them to Ohio. This is nuts! He also published other vivid details. Those were also 100% nuts.
But here’s how the game is played. Ohio Democrats then repeatedly boosted the so-called “story” on social media, and the Daily Beast & others write “news” stories about it. Then hundreds of others cite the Daily Beast’s reporting and literally turn their fantasy into “truth."
It’s worth observing the incentive that political opponents would have to fabricate an anonymous “tip” to a random blogger with mental issues who has absolutely no standards for publication, then to amplify the “stories” after they’re written.
The whole thing is dumb, to be clear. But it’s dirty, it happens repeatedly, and the public is better off knowing about it. It’s why sane people rarely go into politics. Anyone who does should probably have their own head checked out (including me). My team sensibly told me to not to dignify it by commenting on it. Politically, they’re probably right. But if every leader were to follow that advice, it rewards the incentives for bad actors to lie not just about me, but about others in the future too. Call me idealistic, but I don’t think that’s how things are supposed to work.
@jappleby@TheDemocrats So it’s your fault the Dems have been such a pathetic party and total failures? Now it’s time for you to shut the fuck up and let someone else run things for a change. Thanks.
A reminder that no serious historian, academic or anyone who has spent even minutes looking at Nazi Germany agrees with this. Hitler locked up the left, denounced the left. He was not a 'hardcore socialist.'
The only people who say this are... Nazi sympathizers & the far right.
Not all of us can cook the books at a software company during the 90s dot-com bubble, sell it for $4b based on fraud, wipeout $2b in shareholder value in one day while selling our own stock at peak, get fired within six months and see our company resold for just $27M a year later
we are starting another “special military operation.” cuba is no threat to the us, we have terrorized them for decades for fighting and winning sovereignty for their people.
For two years, Mike Johnson refused to hang the plaque on the wall honoring police officers who defended the Capitol on J6 against a mob of violent rioters, even though a law was passed to mandate it.
But he supports paying over a billion dollars to the criminal rioters.
