Free speech and the right to peaceful protest are integral freedom in the US and guaranteed by the US Constitution. These are some of the things that separate us from the sh**hole countries like Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, etc., etc. The fact that the Trump administration is threatening anyone who has this legal right to peacefully protest should make everyone think twice about what kind of country Trump and his cronies really want to turn the US into... it certainly isn't going to make the country Great Again. If making the country Great Again is what you want - you'll need to look elsewhere. The current administration is running the country into the ground. D or R, whatever. Makes no difference. Our country is being steered in the wrong direction. It should be obvious to all.

No. No it didn't.

How quickly so many forget... seems 34 counts of felony would be something memorable.

This may come as a shock to you, but not everybody relies on news sources to tell them their opinions. Some, like whaletail, read multiple sources across the spectrum of politics. Apply critical thinking and come up with their very own perspective based on what they've read, their past knowledge, their past experiences, and a discerning eye on what sources can or can't be trusted - and to what degree. Further, their perspective is constantly in flux as they digest more sources of information and that cycle continues. I do realize small minded uneducated folks (probably like you, based on your last post) won't understand this. That's just what it is. But what is disturbing is how many people like you are out there, who aren't even trying. I'm going to go ahead and call you ignorant. Because you are. But before you get all up in arms, you should probably look up what the word "ignorant" actually means. It's not that you're stupid - it's just that you are making a choice not to know better. You could choose to be informed and know better... but you choose, and are content, to understand nothing more.

Just as Trump said on 1/6 - What's happening LA is basically a Love Fest. Great people and great patriots! It'll just be a matter of time before he pardons them all. And then invites and welcomes more immigrants into the country... as long as they are white. He seems to prefer white.

You may learn something by coming up with your own ideas that you didn't find on the internet. You should try it at least once.

That has to be a record for the longest and dumbest response to a satirical post in the history of social media. My guess is that you held the previous record.

I'll translate for you: You don't care about what is better for the country. You just want as much money for yourself as you can obtain. And if the rich get far richer, while you're getting more money that's OK. As long as you get more money, the rich can enjoy. This is no accident, this is exactly what the R's have been doing. Send out checks to the basic population, make them happy to get a bump. While the top 10% of the population cash in with checks that are 10,000 times bigger and none of the basic population is the wiser. We just need to find a way to educate the 'basic' population to be a little less basic. (They'll earn more in the end.)

And you think it's funny, you POS? The funny level is zero. I'd tell you to grow up if I didn't know you were old as f***. After this is all over and we've totaled the damaged, let's meet again here and discuss how funny you thought it was.

Ooof! Don't forget that Trump is the oldest president ever elected! (Yes, older than Biden when he was elected.) If you wonder why Trump keeps talking about how old Biden is, even after Biden is out of office... It is to deflect how old this fat orange turd is and how he can't even walk up the stairs to Air Force One. Hey Trump - Leave LA to the state of CA, stop trying to use the military against US citizens to pretend you aren't weak. Congress - take Musk's advice and impeach this incompetent, economy-destroying mistake of a president. 8657. He's on his last legs, and he's killing our economy and our country. What are you waiting for. Time for him to go.

Let's be honest. The rich pay people to handle their finances and taxes. Those people will explain it and the rich - although not necessarily smart - will have someone to clarify it for them so they get it. So, who are we worried about that will perceive the end of the 2017 cuts as being a problem?

My point exactly, this will cost the government money and will increase the debt. But it will buy the R's a lot of votes. (If that's the sort of thing you want your government doing.)

I can make posts like morons on here who think pasting a random news story is somehow meaningful, too!

Post a reference that clarifies you are a dolt with no idea what no reasonable doubt means. Oh wait, you already did. Page 1, 12th post down.

As I'm sure you know, children have been born with both M and F features (ex: penis and vagina) for as long as anyone can remember. In some cases, the gender of this tiny, still mostly undeveloped child was simply unclear. The uncaring, judgmental, pitchfork wielding jerks who post in forums just like this one have decided it's simple - one or the other. But they make the huge mistake of not realizing it isn't always anywhere near that simple. When doctors can't make the call. The parents are pulled aside and requested to "assign" their child's gender. As these tiny babies develop both physically and mentally into young children - the parents start to see and understand much more than they did when their child was a tiny peanut they could hold in the palm of one hand. I don't have any answers to this one. (Nobody else does either, some just like to pretend they do.) My instinct is to say - just leave them alone! They've already got more than enough to deal with. Keep out of their personal lives. As much as I believe that should work, it doesn't. So, let's start with an example - tiny baby is assigned M at birth by parents because he had a penis (as well as a vagina) both underdeveloped at the point where a doctor couldn't make the call. As the child grows the penis no longer develops and becomes a tiny, underdeveloped, non-functioning, useless appendage - while the vagina develops and the child becomes what doctors would clearly recognize as F. To help try to make the child's life normal, they perform surgery to remove the useless appendage, and give them normal 'junk' - and the child's gender is reassigned to F. Nothing wrong with that story other than it would be heavily emotionally painful for them and their entire family and that I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Then the folks with pitchforks come out and decide she's "just a tranny" and "she doesn't belong in the locker room" and "she's a pervert" and "they're grooming her" and "she should wait until she's 18", and boo... hisss... boo. It's heartbreaking that these small-minded folks can't make room in their tiny minds to have empathy for children who have been going through more than most of these folks could ever imagine. I still think my instinct is right - just leave them alone! Leave it to them, their families, their doctors and everyone else who is willing to participate and care and be responsible with them. (It's not politics, it's personal.)

This last post of yours was too sloppy. Maybe try to gather yourself and we can try to continue tomorrow.

"Biology is a view?" Where did you come up with that one? Nobody said that here except you. What about everything else that was posted in this thread - nothing to say about those thoughts? Are you here to discuss or are you here to showcase that you are a buffoon with zero social skills. With these latest sh** posts, nobody needs you any more than we need a sharp stick in the eye. If you've got it in you, be better. Not a little better... a LOT better. At least try for fu**'s sake.

Injustice? Are you sure? She is legally a woman, and I see no reason to think otherwise. Tell me how you know this woman is somehow "not" a woman in your view. In your own view. What do you know about the topic that you can add that I don't already know? FOX News says she is trans - do you trust them because they are MSM? Have you actually gotten your opinion from FOX/Fake News? That would be the most troubling part of all of this.

Nope. Stand back and look at it again. I'm telling you that your post was wrong. (Which is all I can read - I can't read your mind to find out more.) You then tell me you don't know anything about it, you just copied and pasted from a source. That's where you missed the point - because your post was still every bit as wrong as it was before you explained how you copy and pasted your way into creating it. No copy/paste excuse will ever make your post not wrong. You can keep trying to blame it on your source but, at the end of the day, it was your post. And it was wrong. Nobody is perfect, we all make mistakes, the best we can do is to handle them gracefully. Do that.

If you have no insightful take, no interesting personal perspective, no deep cut from an unlikely source, or anything else to add that we don't already know... You are simply acting as a human replacement of Google. Nobody, and I mean nobody, needs you to search google and post what you find on this forum. ALL OF US HERE already have google. If you're only going to google things and copy and paste what you find. Don't bother. What do you personally have to say? If you have something to say, then share it. Let's discuss it. THAT is why we are here. That is worthwhile for everyone. None of us are always right and none of us are always wrong. The discussion is the entire point. That's where we all get the opportunity to learn from people with different perspectives from our own. Not so we can fight them - but so we can consider them and learn from them. If it isn't for the discussion and sharing of opinions and perspectives - this place, like all other social media, is just worthless garbage.

That depends on which elections are coming up and how the change will be marketed to all these voters who get tips.

That's one interpretation of what 'deleting a tweet' means. But it would be a stretch for you to think it is somehow the only one. As likely an interpretation is that Musk is trying to deescalate the situation. But then again, who really knows. Both of these ego maniacs are as unpredictable and unreliable as a chocolate teapot.

As I originally posted, there is no reasonable doubt that Musk has access to the Epstein files. If you want to argue with me - at least argue with what I actually posted. Not with some strawman.

It is absolutely NOT an exaggeration that Musk/DOGE had full access to every federal department for months. That is a fact. Trump himself insisted that they not only have access, but that their actions must be done in "secret" - eliminating any oversight whatsoever. Collecting the data for future use or whatever they wish to do without any concern with oversight, audit, or accountability. They routinely modified the database logs to 'wipe clean' their actions - with Presidential authority and approval. This, just yesterday, was confirmed to be allowed by the Supreme Court as well. (Supreme Court grants DOGE access to confidential Social Security records : NPR) Musk/DOGE had full access and continues to have full access to every federal department with no oversight or limitations. Here's the Bombshell: You and I no longer have any secrets when it comes to the federal government. None. Zero. Musk and his team of 20-something hacker types have them all. And what they do with them? Aside from training the xAI system... who knows? It is frightening to consider the options. This should be bigger news than it is. But non-tech folks just don't know how to wrap their heads around it. They choose to bury their heads in the sand and pretend it isn't happening instead. But - it is happening.

You are a real piece of work. You google something, paste the results of what you read, and act like you are somehow solving something? You do realize everyone else googles and reads through the links themselves, right? Way to find nothing and assist nobody. Good work there, Sherlock.
