@JenniferSey Same Democrat Party that didn't see the inherent elder abuse in putting Biden on stage doesn't see anything wrong with propping this man and his severe mental illness up in front of cameras.
I didn’t survive Y2K, 9/11, Swine Flu, Bird Flu, multiple recessions, COVID, and gene-shot coercion just to be taken out in 2026 by diarrhea lettuce, just saying.
Justice Clarence Thomas 1991: "I'd rather die than withdraw. If they're gonna kill me, they're gonna kill me... I'd rather die than withdraw from the process. Not for the purpose of serving on the Supreme Court, but for the purpose of not being driven out of this process. I will not be scared. I don't like bullies. I've never run from bullies. I never cry uncle and I'm not going to cry uncle today whether I want to be on the Supreme Court or not."
@pgarfieldjaeger@PTElephant Odd post considering he's not allowed to have a phone inside a hyperbaric chamber.
(unless of course, that pesky risk of explosion doesn't exist for the very special unicorns like himself.....)
@spencerpratt "it depends on what your definition of 'woman' is"
"it depends on what your definition of 'immigrant' is"
"it depends on what your definition of 'racism' is"
And on and on.....
There is a hypocrisy that is rarely commented on regarding trans activism and women's opposition to it.
Women are routinely targeted for threats of violence, actual violence, smear campaigns, doxxing, loss of income, and are dragged through expensive legal battles: for calling men, men.
Yet I have never ONCE seen a woman lodge a lawsuit, defamation or otherwise, for being called a TERF, Nazi, "phobe," bigot, or any of the other dehumanizing slurs we're meant to just absorb without taking offense.
The reason is obvious: these people, and especially the men, do not see women as human. They actively disrespect women in nearly everything they do.
To them, women are a costume, a fetish, sex objects, commodities they can appropriate and subjugate, and we are not only supposed to endure this abuse, we are supposed to smile about it, we are supposed to welcome our own dehumanization.
@nicksortor@GregoryKBovino@JackPosobiec@BorderHawkNews Turn off the tap. No financial incentives provided thru welfare/Obamacare/SNAP/free education/Section 8/special home loans/extra business opportunities/hundreds upon hundreds of NGO grifts/on and on ad nauseum, and the trash will take itself out
Democrats scream to abolish ICE the second an illegal gets killed… but never call to abolish illegal immigration when illegals rape, torture, and murder US citizens.
Funny how that works.
I'm a little confused by this.
I learned about the First Amendment in first grade. Actually, I learned all ten amendments in the Bill of Rights in elementary school, and then again... and again... and again until I graduated in 1992. Granted, that was just a few years after we crawled out of the ocean and walked on two legs, but I'm assuming schools still at least mention it.
So when I hear that a police chief is "reviewing First Amendment training" because an officer allegedly thought "someone got offended" was grounds for a citation or arrest, I have questions.
Mainly: Why does this require reviewing?
This feels less like a training issue and more like discovering your airline pilot needs a refresher on the whole "up is the sky, down is the ground" concept.
I'm not a lawyer. I'm not a cop. I didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. But "people are allowed to say things that offend other people" seems like it should rank somewhere between "don't pet bears" and "fire is hot" in the list of concepts public officials have mastered before they're issued a badge.
If you're hiring officers who sincerely believe "someone got offended" is probable cause, your problem isn't that they missed a four-hour PowerPoint. The brains behind your hiring process has wandered off into the woods and hasn't been seen in several days.
1885: they put cocaine in throat lozenges and children's teething drops.
1898: they put heroin in cough syrup and sold it as the non-addictive one.
1918: they put radium in toothpaste, face cream and drinking water, and called it the future.
1920s: they painted radium on watch dials, and the girls who licked the brushes to a point died with their jawbones crumbling.
1920s: they put asbestos in the ceilings, the school walls and the children's ironing boards, as a safety feature.
1923: they put lead in the petrol, the paint and the water pipes.
1935: they fitted x-ray machines in shoe shops, so children could bathe their feet in radiation to check the fit.
1945: they put DDT on the crops, the walls and the children, and filmed everyone smiling in the spray.
1950s: they handed pregnant women thalidomide for morning sickness, and a generation was born without limbs.
Every one of these was modern, scientific, and stamped with total confidence.
The list of things the experts swore were safe is a great deal longer than the list of things that actually were.
Progress has a poison aisle, and every bottle in it once had a lab coat standing behind it.
They'll tell you this time is different. So did they.
1898: Bayer trademarks a new cough medicine for children. They call it Heroin.
1899: they also trademark aspirin. Enjoy that one. It is the last unambiguously good thing on this list.
1900: Heroin is Bayer's best-selling product, marketed to mothers as non-addictive.
1915: they supply the German army over 170 tons of chlorine gas for the trenches.
1925: Bayer folds into a chemical giant called IG Farben.
1940s: IG Farben runs a slave-labour plant at Auschwitz and part-owns the maker of the Zyklon B.
1956: a director convicted of war crimes at Nuremberg is quietly made chairman of Bayer's board.
1980s: Bayer discovers its haemophilia blood product is riddled with HIV.
Rather than destroy the stock, it keeps selling the untreated batches to Asia and Latin America to recoup the money.
Thousands of haemophiliacs are infected. Many die.
2003: the New York Times exposes it. Bayer helps settle for around 600 million dollars.
2018: Bayer buys Monsanto, inheriting Roundup, Agent Orange and PCBs in a single afternoon.
2026: the US Supreme Court throws out the Roundup cancer lawsuits. Bayer wins.
Heroin, chlorine gas, Auschwitz, tainted blood, and a weedkiller in the dock, all from one firm.
Every one of them was legal, marketed with total confidence, and blessed by the experts of its day, and the company behind them is bigger now than it has ever been.
The heroin got recalled. The company never did.
