some guy i never heard of, thinks it was Trump's fault . big, big whoop.

WOW So much for not caring about what someone says who you dont Know!

you want to see TDS ondisplay ? head over to NEWSMAX at least 3 article a day involving Trump and his victimization

and only right wingers think she blamed Trump ..


Herr comment "So did like anyone walk out after that happened??? Or are we getting an independent psychological case study on how Trump got normalized?"

doesn't sound like she's blaming Trump as much as the people who found his and Smith actions in public acceptable...and said nothing and sat still.. He (Smith) should have been escorted out and got his award in the mail , but fame got him a pass ! Sound familiar

you posted someone that no one has ever heard of. i posted a CNN contributor and lecturer at Yale. Meaning i posted someone who’s highly regarded in the left.

Newsmax is a joke, not reliable obviously.

Asha’s reaction to MAGAworld

Is it a slow news day in MAGAland???

I have to say I’m flattered that my opinion is so important in their alternate reality 😂

Of course, They can't talk about the Eastman decision or the Navarro/Scavino contempt vote, they have to fill the time w something.

she’s in CNN and is a lecturer at yale. she’s a relevant person in the left.

yes, pointing out the absurdity of her statement is a character flaw of conservatives. laughing at her means we are bad, not that she said something ridiculous.

i have news for you paul. people
slapped one another before anyone knew who trump was. that may come as a shock to you, but there are some ugly parts of humanity that are not 100% Trumps fault.

we can and should talk about the eastman decision, we should also dicusss inflation, crime, and the mess at the southern border. can’t you discuss multiple things?

Here’s a guy who will never have a chance because of people of your ilk

THE REVENGE OF THE NORMAL REPUBLICANS

Will Hurd thinks there are enough normal voters to deliver him the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

i’ve never heard of him, so he has little chance.

your idea of a normal
republican is a wuss who would be guaranteed to lose in a general
election.

we nominated normal republicans in 2008 and 2012. you forget what the entire media did to them? that’s why trump won the nomination in 2016. we needed someone who could beat the left in the arena of dirty fighting, and he did.

Desantis is an extraordinary republican, which is precisely why you are scared sh*fleas of him. you’re terrified of him, and you should be. He has many of the positive attributes of trump, with apparently ( this could
change obviously) none of the 6 year-old brat. he has many of the attributes that will appeal
to trump fans, with no visible evidence of the insanity that made it easy to demonize him.

he’s standing by a wife with cancer. as opposed to liberal hero john edwards, who cheated on his wife when she was battling cancer.

DeSantis’ political views change with the moods of his base.
It looks like suddenly for you morals count, though I could see your Edwards and raise you one Gingrich.
As far as his wonderful claims that educators are grooming children.
Anyone with half a brain would realize that people don’t change their sexual orientation because of what they read.
If that was true there would be no gay people. They’ve all read about straight people for their whole lives and haven’t changed.

morals always count. But when judging a far off executive, results count a lot more.

true on gingrich. but it’s you, not me, putting morals at the front and center. i care more that gingrich worked with bill
clinton to cut taxes, balance the budget, and generate a surplus. that result matters a lot more than infidelity. i wouldn’t want gingrich to date my mom. but i’d have loved for him to be potus when he was at the top of his game.

your side also flip flops on the importance of morals. in the bill clinton years, liberals paid zero attention to ethics and focused on results. in the trump years, liberals ignored results and focused on ethics.

of course plenty of republicans did the same thing, in the opposite manner. no shortage of hypocrisy in the gop.

“people don’t change their sexual orientation based on what they read.”.

that’s certainly true most of the time. but i don’t want elementary school
kids reading about any kind of sexual orientation, regardless if the effect it may or may not have on their lifestyle choices. let them read about Henry Huggins and Beezus and Ramona and Ribsy. Let them be kids for christ’s sake.

it’s an elementary schools
job to teach reading, writing, math, science,,citizenship. It’s my job, not the teachers job, to tell my kids what to think about different sexual
impulses and choices. it’s the schools job to make sure my kids aren’t bothering anyone else. it’s my job, and mine alone, to teach my kids what to think about these things.

these kids are way behind in reading and math with all they’ve missed. get them caught up in academics. leave the divisive political discussions to the parents

i don’t know what incentivizes people to make these choices, but i’m convinced that waaay more people are making different choices than previously. i could
be wrong, but i don’t think i am. i think that culturally, we are encouraging different choices to show how tolerant and woke we are. i’m not sure it’s a good thing in every case.

regardless, it has nothing to do with the purpose of an elementary school.

Why can children only read books from the 50s

Yep, you flip almost as much as DeSantis

CNN contributor and Yale University lecturer, blames Trump for Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars and for people sticking around.

Yes, everyone in Hollywood takes their cues from Trump.

Meanwhile in the Moral Majority party
Several Republicans say they are “upset” that Madison Cawthorn said his Republican colleagues have invited him to cocaine parties and orgies. One Republican said people are now asking who is partaking in orgies, is that because they didn’t get an invite? Kevin McCarthy plans to talk with Cawthorn about it, does he feel he’s missing out too?

Elementary schools don't have libraries large enough to house every book that has been published. Choices as to which books their libraries contain have to be made. The citizens of the community have a right and obligation to determine what is in their school libraries. Especially in regards to books that are not part of the curricula. And the citizens also have the right to determine if the school's curricula includes controversial material.

Otherwise, parents can let their children read books from any era.

"Why can children only read books from the 50s"

Even you know what I meant. Let them read books that allow them to retain their childhoods for a bit. You're willing to use kids like rats in a lab experiment. I'm less inclined to do so. I know what constitutes happy and productive childhood and what doesn't.

"Yep, you flip almost as much as DeSantis"

Some examples of my flipping? I go where facts and truth and common sense take me. You desperately cling to your left wing manifesto at all times, same as the rest of you here.

(1) I'm pretty skeptical about what you wrote.

(2) I don't take my cues from any elected politician, I assume that they're all morally bankrupt. Unlike you, I don't define either side by the worst behaviors exhibited by a tiny speck of the party. I think that the beliefs of regular folks is a much better barometer for what a party "is".

But you continue, you ignore all the immorality on the left and try to define the entire GOP by the worst actions of a tiny speck of its masses. We know that makes you feel better, s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g your thumb while saying over and over "the GOP is Trump, the GOP is Trump, the GOP is Trump".

I just showed how you flipped from claiming a loss of decency in society is not TFGs fault to how Republicans needed a “tough” guy like Trump to win

Better go live on an island or an autocratically governed country (Hungary or Russia come to mind) that way you’ll never have explain why Sam has two moms and take away a kids childhood

Despite Madison Cawthorn's attempt to sex shame them, I, for one, think that Republican leaders in Washington, DC have every right to gather together to have group sex with each other.
And the cocaine. Don’t forget the cocaine at the GOP sex orgies.

I’m viewing Marsha Blackburn's frequent bed head in a totally different light now and saddened they didn't Just Say No.

Authoritarian Pete celebrates orgy. Authoritarian Progressives celebrate the right to orgies and the long way we have come to the Progressive world of self identity. Be whatever you want to be. Don't be trapped in some restrictive biological entity. Life is an orgy of self identified gender mixers partying into the bliss of desired and chosen social constructs--the Progressive heaven on earth.

Bigotry, sedition, and subservience to Russia are quite acceptable. They even condone it to appease their Fox News base.

But, orgies are one step too far!!

But at least we found the kind of thing that warrants a talking-to from McCarthy

Authoritarian, all-knowing Pete again demonstrates his insights into the minds of the Fox News base. They are obviously, as Pete tells us, all bigots and Putin's puppets. We all know this, but need to be reminded of what is obvious.

Chris Rock forgot a key rule: If you’re going to make fun of anyone’s wife, make sure it’s Ted Cruz’s. Because then Ted will work tirelessly to make sure you become the next President of the United States.
