Rather ironic gays demand people respect them but at the same time refuse to accept people who they don’t agree with.

Read the history of civil rights.
Who kept the blacks under their thumbs?
Who did not want civil rights?
One word...liberal democrats.

Read about how Lyndon B. Johnson (great TEXAN and in a long story, a relation of mine through my mother and her family) had to cajole, threaten and more to get democrats to come around and vote for civil rights.

Yes, I was for civil rights!

Am I against gays and lesbians getting married?
NO.

Am I against gays, lesbians and liberals who resort to lies, and more, to discredit those that do not agree with them?
YES.

Cannuck, how is the landscape where you are?

Not that anyone asks, but my corner of Japan is pretty comfy, too. Sometimes get a little too hot, then we go to Canada. We all need a nice place to wait out the collapse of civilization.

Your lack of awareness is your problem. It is just incredulity on your end. It has no correlation to something existing or not.

I am with Gilsan here. The media-govt complex tend to do this stuff. They'll find (or invent) some tiny fringe group, then play it up to be a major factor or major threat - and use that as an excuse to push through some new laws and take away some more freedoms.

I don't know of a single person I respect online or off who knows anything about Q. I don't even think I have heard about it from people I don't respect, except wild eyes American "progressives". All I have heard about it is from the left. And that is fed to them through various government mouthpieces (some for which you kindly provided links), which parrot what they are told by the government and parrot each other to keep it going.

These movements are grass roots, and anything that has caught on will catch on long before it's picked up by the major media - not the other way round. I expect Q is a shibboleth, a mirage, a straw man... Whatever you want to call it, it's there to distract and to justify otherwise unacceptable actions, to demonize others and to keep the American sheep divided and compliant.

Geraldo is as wrong as you are. Hemmer should ask tough questions, that is expected. I posted my opinion on this already but I'll repeat it for you,

Selling government influence isn't illegal, only unethical.

Laundering money, selling classified documents is illegal. Which leads to the obvious question, what was Hunter Biden trading for millions to China and Russia.

But, like Hillary's commodity trades or the Clinton Foundation that took hundreds of millions from politicians all over the world and produced almost nothing... It's not what you know, it's what you can prove.

These are the people we are trying to reason with. May as well be telling the Hitler Youth about the rights of Jews. If this survey is anywhere near accurate, the US is even more doomed than I thought. Freedom of speech is the most basic of freedoms. Those who don't understand this soon will.

Joe Biden has no chance in the 2024 election , it will probably be DeSantis , but Trump would beat him as well . By the time we get to the election people will be feeling the economic effects from Biden so bad.

Then it would be Neither Party

Also I disagree with you on that its entirely the American people who is to blame.
In a democratic system your only choices are the people that run in an election.

You can only choose from those who run and you cant make someone take the job who doesn't want it even if you write in their name.

Sometime the choices that are offered suck to begin with.

But yes we Americans need to demand better, demand transparency and fire those who dont put the USA and its citizens first and make a better difference.

And it starts with firing all incumbents over and over until they realize that their jobs are always on the line just like ours.
We need to create jobs ourselves by buying more American made products, even if we buy just 20% more American made products we could create millions of jobs.

:)

Ron Paul was an excellent choice to clean up a lot of the crap including one of the biggest lumps; "the FED". He was not perfect but oh so different from the status quo. Unfortunately for the world and in my opinion the US as well, a lot of people thought he was old and senile and as we all know he was shamelessly ignored by the Media, yet they overlooked Joe Biden who is a little younger but 100 times more senile than Ron Paul.

Too bad because you are not going to get another Ron Paul for a long, long time. The newer generations of politicians are gonna be even more corrupt that the present crooks.

Listen carefully.
He did not apologize.
Just sorry he was caught making a dumb mistake.

Dear Employees:

As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barrack Obama is our President and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%. But, since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off sixty of our employees instead. This has really been bothering me since I believe we are family here and I didn't know how to choose who would have to go. So, this is what I did. I walked through our parking lots and found sixty 'Obama' bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go. I can't think of a more fair way to approach this problem. They voted for change......I gave it to them. I will see the rest of you at the annual company picnic.

So the liberals never, but never, in 2008 asked for a damn thing to prove obama was legit. No college records, no church records, no tax returns, no nothing!
Yet now they are peeing in the panties because they want Romney to turn over tax returns?

I love the hypocrisy of the left!

Well, what he tithes is tax deductible, so it lowers his taxes and his effective tax rate.
Again, something obama and the liberals fail to mention when they scream that his tax rate was 14%.
Again, the hypocrisy of the left and the continued lying by obama and his campaign.

I hate to break the news to you, but in the book 1984 you are the bad guys...

I have tried to explain that exact point to these Trump supporters as well as Trump supporters in my family and they just don't get it.

I am simply amazed at how many people have a tenuous grasp of the basic principles of law and the Constitution itself.

The reason people don't "get it" is because they can clearly see that it wrong, even if it is legal, while you guys keep chanting "but we didn't break the law" and pretending not to see the larger issue. The law has never defined right and wrong, and has often been at odds with it throughout history.

The merging of the state with private corporations who do the state's dirty work is clearly a danger to democracy. Anyone can see this. There were laws passed when newspapers gained too much power, the same as when there were three major TV networks. The tech companies have control over public information that dwarfs either of those. Comparisons to chicken restaurants and Namepros are purposely beside the point.

You should be concerned when this happens. Because they won't stop with conservatives. They'll get around to you before too long.

There's a reason free speech was the 1st Amendment - it's essential to democracy. When you silence part of your population, you only leave them with violence.

during an insurrection

You realize that the loose definition of insurrection and coup needed to qualify the Jan. 6 protestors is the kind of definition that dictators and authoritarian states use to arrest and murder protestors? Of course, it would also apply to those who attack say, a federal building in Portland. So there seems a discrepancy in how the definition is applied.

But do remember that dictators refer to protestors this way - and that senate, presidential and parliamentary buildings are often the sites of protests that become a little violent. Most people see through such claims as an excuse to smash dissent.

It's especially sad to see Americans embrace the language of dictators.

For a guy in his mid 40's at the time the picture was taken - he already has an old worn-out body. Ironic, an adolescent's brain trapped in an old man's body.

c'mon man. Hunter is an idol to one of our posters here, so rather than make disparaging comments, we should list all the cool things Hunter is known for.
Drug use - which makes him a pillar of the community and a rebel at the same time.
Meth mouth - nothing dentures can't cover.
Pornhub account - he is a social media model.
Allegations of sexual abuse of a minor - his dad likes kids better than adults too.
Pay for play scandals - Hunter is a highly sought after brilliant businessman.
Don't be jealous, Hunter is the smartest person Joe Biden knows.

One moment of clarity; who knows how any of us would turn out having Joe Biden as a father.

Mother of slain Capitol Police officer ur48.jpg


The propaganda beat goes on. We start with the big lie in the title.

Then, in the article: "....who both helped defend the Capitol on Jan. 6" They were managing a disorderly protest, minor riot. Of all the actual deadly riots that have occurred around the US and even in DC, addressing this relatively minor disturbance is called defending the capital, as though British warships are again shelling the city.

And this: "An autopsy indicated that Brian Sicknick suffered two strokes and died a day after responding to the attack on the Capitol, after initial reports that he was hit in the head with a fire extinguisher. "

Initial reports that were later proven false. In their sneaky mainstream media way, they skirt around actually lying by withholding vital bits of information. They have to do this to create their bullshit narrative of a "deadly insurrection."

And the other deaths? Two officers committed suicide. Whose fault is that? Maybe they felt shame and being used as tools of oppression against ordinary citizens? We will never know, because the narrative demands that the protesters be guilty. Of something.

And the actual real killing that took place? Mum's the word. The elite press are happy to add to the death toll, but have no curiosity or interest in the cop who shot an unarmed woman in the neck at point blank range. If he had shot a BLM protestor that way, he would be in jail as we speak, and his name would be vilified in all major media.

I miss the good old days of honest media, like Pravda.
