  • I don’t expect that you have all the beliefs that right wing media paints democrats as.

    Is it because they are well documented liars?

    When Fox News successfully argued in court that no reasonable person would believe the content presented in Tucker Carlson’s production was factual or true, and was instead just entertainment, did that give you pause? Are you a reasonable person? If you’ve believed any of their programming Fox doesn’t think you are.

    Or can I assume you don’t know about it because Right Wing media doesn’t cover any deficiencies of the conservative machine unless they’ve gotten out of line, and are instead just fascist cheerleaders willing to say anything for power? Ends justify the means afterall…


  • Are you a Republican?

    Tell me friend, do you support:

    Child marraige predominantly expressed through older men marrying young girls with whom they can legally rape? (I don’t believe a child can consent, do you?)

    Child labor, “the children are our future” but also we should steal their prime growth years so meat packing plants can find more meat for the grinders and not have to pay living wages.

    Dissolution of the department of education to kill public education in America

    Starving school children of low income families, many of which only get their highest quality meal at school

    Unchecked capitalism resulting in an ever widening gap between the ultra rich and the rest of us, such that many are being priced out of any semblance of the lie that is the “American Dream” exploding the number of homeless?

    Do you look down on the unhoused as just lazy entitled people who would surely squander any support on drugs, rather than your fellow Americans who are suffering hard times, mental illness, or both?

    What about just flat out lawlessness, where one party is disinterested in enforcing laws against their party members and make threats of violence and civil war against any attempts by others to fairly apply the law? And instead they indicate an eagerness to lock up their political enemies despite being unable to bring any evidence of crimes?


    Genuinely curious because you seem to be able to understand the current reality, but you cling to an ideal that i would guess has left you behind long ago.

    It isn’t physically addictive, but it can be mentally so. Your body isn’t going to start eating itself if you don’t get it, but you will probably feel anxious and maybe feel cravings if you break the habit though.

    On a trip to Singapore and surprisingly not having as much issue as I thought based on my normal consumption. Gonna be fun to see how it goes when I get back.











  • Nothing. Not a damn thing that i suspect is by design. In my opinion it’s smoke and mirrors to distract from the fact that they support underage sex by older men through child marraige.

    Did you know only 4 states in the u.s. require both parties be 18 and provide proof? Did you know there are 10 states where there is no lower boundary in age for the child? Did you know the lions share of child marraige involves an older man taking a female child as their bride through “parental, judicial, religious, or pregnancy exceptions.” The pregnancy exception is really interesting considering a child cannot consent… but if you get married after its all gravy…

    “In the United States, child marriage is a pervasive issue with devastating domestic consequences.  Between 2000 and 2018, almost 300,000 children were married in the United States alone, with approximately 30,000 to 60,000 of those marriages occurring at a spousal age difference that should have been considered a sex crime.”

    Republicans support child marraige while insisting Democrats are paedophiles, presumably to create a smoke screen for themselves. It’s always projection.
