Some times you just have to despise liberal lefties. The University of Maryland is slated to offer an “Intro to Fat Studies” course in the upcoming spring semester that will focus on “Fatness, Blackness and Their Intersections.”
The three-credit class, which is offered through the Harriet Tubman Department of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (WGSS), “[e]xamines fatness as an area of human difference subject to privilege and discrimination that intersects with other systems of oppression based on gender, race, class, sexual orientation, and ability. Sydney Lewis, a senior lecturer with the Department of WGSS, will lead the introductory course this spring in Susquehanna Hall.
Lewis’s research experience consists of topics including “African American/African Diaspora,” “Black Feminist Thought,” “LGBTQ Studies,” and “Queer Theory.”
Lewis’s teaching methods aim to “blur the boundaries between the academy, art, and activism,” as mentioned in her university biography. “Her areas of interest include gender performance and performativity, black feminist theory and culture, and intersectional black liberation.” |

Illusioneffect: Give an instance under Trump's presidency were only wealthy people benefitted from his tax cuts and it didn't affect middle class workers? You keep repeating exactly the same lies with no evidence because you're party tells you what to think. Have you ever gone to another source why some Republicans (which are mostly old Republicans like Mike Pence) want Union busting - you actually dont - you only report from sources that are totally bias for Democrats. Unlike you - I actually try to understand the news from different sources both the left and right because I'm neither. The Democrats have been in power for 12 years in the last 18 why have they not cut taxes from the rich or do the wonderful tax cuts for poor and middle class individuals until Trump created it - the only thing they have actually done that even was a bad investment was given aids to people all the time increasing inflation and making sure black people don't want to work because they believe they didn't have to. Ask yourself this question- what have they not don't this wonderful things for the past 12 years? I politely requested Ijebos to let us know whether Trump tax cuts affected him. He completely refused despite me requesting him for weeks on end. Those who earn below $10K annually saw no change and also those in the $35K band. Everyone else I believe from Google searches got a break Ijebos never got so you can determine how much he makes from his excel sheets. If he got a cut he can never admit it because of his TDS. |

Al Gore is getting worked up because Trump won't fund new green deals. Latest cop29 was about climate financing from the west because of carbon dioxide. Clearly the aim of the climate change religion is to neuter fossil fuels and hence control energy .
Former US Vice President Al Gore slammed the fossil fuel industry in a fiery speech at the COP29 summit in Baku, claiming that officials in the sector are "way better at capturing politicians than emissions."
Mr Gore, a US climate activist, urged delegates to come to solutions rather than bow to political and industrial pressure.
"We just have to decide how long the world is going to cower in front of the financial and political power of the fossil fuel industry. If we can find it within ourselves, in every country, to come together and make |

IMAliyu2: I think what I said was very pointed, and not "trying to shame white conservatives as Nazis" You used a very specific descripter of "extreme far-right racists" not conservatives. It's like try distinguish between Skinheads and the kkk.
The current Vatican is extremely conservatives, but lack the rhetoric, nationalism, racism, racial superiority and antisemitism to be called Nazis, and are even more lenient in religious tenants compared to American evangelicals. Now the early 20th century Church did allie with the Nazis.
I have not disputed that Atzov, hamas, or hezbolla have similar ideological leanings to Nazis either. Any example of an European extreme far right org and their policies? Be specific. Also name far right and centre right within Europe. |

cococandy: God doesn’t like rapists and fraudsters. He doesn’t like egomaniacal criminals He doesn’t like people who take advantage of the poor and discriminate against people who are not like them. He doesn’t like people who mock the disabled and promote sexual assault on women.
Just because you said something doesn’t make it true. He stole national security secrets and held them at his private residence. Who lied about that? He used campaign funds to pay hush money to a sex worker. Was that a lie too? Just opening your mouth doesn’t mean whatever you say is meaningful.
Every charge against him was something he did. And I bet he surely did more. I know charges weren’t brought against him for those because they always need strong evidence before proceeding. Unlike you guys that just say unfounded things and run with it true or not.
If Trump is a man of God, then I’m Beyoncé.
By your logic, Hitler was successful too. God must have sent him then. You are very foolish. How he survived the worst modern "legal' and criminal persecution should be added to the Bible. You can cry salty tears I'm not preaching I'm just making my observations |

Trump has sued several media houses for billions of ahillings. This time he don't joke. If saying she not my type can lead to jury awards if $80 million , what about coordinated defamation by the media houses. https://www.cjr.org/the_trump_reader/trump-threatens-new-york-times-penguin-random-house-critical-coverage.phpThis sounds leftist. The drumbeat of legal threats signals a potentially ominous trend for journalists during Trump’s second term in office. Litigation is costly and time-consuming. Most news organizations will look to settle rather than face months—more likely years—of discovery and depositions, plus significant legal fees.
“It really has a mental chilling effect to be under a microscope like that,” Anne Champion, a partner at Gibson Dunn who has represented CNN, Jim Acosta, Mary Trump, and Brian Karem in legal matters involving Donald Trump, said in an interview.Article is by a very panicked journo They had eight years of getting away with smears.

cococandy: He’s the epitome of corruption if there ever was one. A disgusting rapist and fraudulent failed businessman. His own registered party member tried to kill him. And it looks like they might try again so they can instate Vance who’s the real tool the billionaire tech bros want to use for their American vision. Too bad you guys are feeding the dragon that will slay y’all.
1) First time in my life seeing a group sore winners.  Your guy won. And y’all are still campaigning all over the forum. No one is buying the lies about him being a decent human being no matter how hard you try. Y’all know he’s deplorable and that’s what you want in a leader. His debauchery appeals to you. Don’t try to dress it up with any fancy words.
2) I thought you guys said that he wasn’t planning to be a dictator. Asking why he didn’t do it the first time if he was going to do it. Now you’re admitting that was the plan all along? Admitting he’s going to work to disrupt govt agencies that could aid in check and balances. But we were fear mongering when we said it earlier. Okay🤔
Reminds me of when his followers claimed he didn’t have anything to do with project 2025. Then after he won, they started gloating about how they’re going to use project 2025 to destroy their enemies. So like I said earlier, most of his supporters are either flat out ignorant or deeply insincere.
I have news for you though. The chaos you think he will cause. The destruction you hope he brings to American institutions will be nothing that America can’t survive. Germany survived Hitler. He’s a riffraff Hitler wannabe in comparison.
In a few years he’ll be dead (this is me being gracious), his clown car will be dismantled and the clowns in it will scurry off into the shadows waiting and hoping for another insane leader to follow. That’s if half of them don’t end up in jail like the first time. Bunch of insane criminals looking for another criminal to help them latch onto power. You are just a lil bit above obrigardo. If you believe that there is a good Lord somewhere, Trump return to power is truly an act of the Almighty. They went after him nonstop for 8 years, lying, charging him in courts , trying to bankrupt him,stopping him from running , trying to kill him and had every major media house against him. He prevailed. |

cococandy: This is the cycle every time.
For the last 50 years, republicans will ruin the economy and democrats step in to fix it. That’s why it’s obvious anyone who said they’re voting for Trump for the economy is either a big fat liar, a band wagoner or someone with the memory of a fish.
Republicans on average always have net negative job growth and all the negative markers of a failing economy. If they are so good at leading, the republican states won’t be the lowest rated in education, highest In poverty and lowest in healthcare access. What they want is to keep holding onto their hate and voting that way while benefiting from economic prosperity that California and the likes bring to the country.

Xavier Becerra, HHS - not a doctor, he’s a lawyer, ex-attorney general of California
Jared Bernstein, Chair of Council of Economic Advisors - not an economist, Bachelor’s degree in music, masters in sociology
Pete Buttigieg, Transportation Secretary - no transportation background, Mayor of Indiana, “pothole Pete”
Mayorkas, DHS Secretary - no security background, lawyer, Asst U.S. attorney, Obama transition team
Jennifer Granholm, Energy Secy - no energy background, Michigan Governor
Gina Raimondo, Commerce Secretary - No trade background, Gov of Rhode Island
Deb Haaland, Interior Secy - New Mexico Congressman
And just for kicks…Bill Nye, the environmentalist “Science Guy” — no background in environmentalism or science, he’s a mechanical engineer and comedy writer |

Matt Gaetz . He slew the Goliath Liz Cheney , later on Kevin McCarthy. https://thefederalist.com/2022/09/26/the-fbis-matt-gaetz-operation-sidelined-an-effective-republican-voice-at-a-crucial-time-that-was-the-point/The DOJ and FBI need serious overhaul. On X a post has this Insurrection Barbie@DefiyantlyFree
If you don’t know about the Matt Gaetz story, it’s fascinating. There was a FBI investigation into somebody who Matt Gaetz knows, that person ended up pleading guilty. But the department of Justice and the FBI really wanted to get Matt Gaetz, not the other guy.
Former department of Justice official met with the father of Matt Gaetz, and tried to extort him for $25 million dollars. The local FBI office told his father to wear a wire… which he did.
This resulted in the arrest and conviction of Stephen Alford for extortion. The former DOJ official who met with his father on behalf of Alford was never mentioned.
Alford in conjunction with this former DOJ official wanted Gaetz to plead guilty, and if he did they promised him a pardon.
This was all happening while the FBI was probing Matt Gaetz for s*x trafficking. Of course charges were never filed. And he was CLEARED of all wrongdoing.
But you know what’s really ironic, the subject of the ethics complaint is a 17-year-old girl that Matt Gaetz supposedly slept with.
It’s so strange because that’s exactly the charge that the FBI cleared him of.
They don’t have a crime, they have a girl who is three degrees of separation from someone in the FBI who is now making allegations even though the FBI couldn’t prosecute Gaetz for this criminally.
Do you know who has extensive ties to the ethics committee in the House of Representatives? I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that it’s Kevin McCarthy. Kevin McCarthy has spent the entire time since getting ousted by Matt Gaetz for being a horrible speaker trying to take him down.
Again, total coincidence, not a plot to destroy one of the biggest fighters in Congress.

That was a huge lie, the cellphone companies have revealed the data is intact. https://justthenews.com/government/security/hldcell-companies-refute-fbi-testimony-j6-pipe-bomber-investigation-loudermilkThe FBI agent who said this. D"Antuono. About him. He was the lead agent incharge of the Michigan governor kidnapping case where 3/4 of the suspects involved were FBI linked. These CHS provided the logistics including hotel expenses and transport to these hapless individuals who were essentially entrapped. Dantuono was promoted to head the most prestigious office , the Washington DC field office . He was the head of the DC field office during the protests of Jan 6. Looks like his framing of the Grietmer case was a test run. Now imagine Matt Gaetz AG head of the DOJ under which FBI falls. They will resist his nomination. Gaetz ethics probe was dropped by FBI. When he led the ouster of Kevin McCarthy as speaker, the Ethics Committee suddenly started investigating Gaetz. They leaked some details yesterday..... |
