GracieX3: Dear MAGA cultists, how does it feel to support a president that is a parody of homelander?
If you dont know who homelander is, kindly Google him.... People like these watch the movies, identify who the bad guys are but somehow can’t translate that to real life. Somewhere along the line, they lose the interpretation of what the writers and producers obviously meant to convey. |

I hope someone ended that man. He doesn’t deserve oxygen THIS IS HADLEY ❤️🩹 Hadley Duvall got pregnant at 12 years old after being sexually assaulted by her stepfather for years.
Because of Kentucky's strict abortion laws, she had to carry the pregnancy longer than medically advised.
She bravery shared her story at the 2024 Democratic National Convention.
"I can't imagine not having a choice. But today, that's the reality of many women and girls because of Trump's abortion bans. He calls it ‘a beautiful thing.’ What is so beautiful about a child having to carry their parent's child?"
Today, Hadley continues to fight for abortion rights and is pursuing her education to help the children who have experienced similar trauma.”
She is the brave hero the current president will never be.

And requiring the student’s consent before revealing their gender identities to anyone is the same as performing transition surgeries in schools? Please don’t be intentionally daft. I know you can be better than this. Malicious misrepresentation of facts makes you look desperate. basilico: Not so fast. This California law was blocked by supreme court. Overview of the Law (AB 1955) Passed in 2024, the SAFETY Act prohibits public school districts from enacting or enforcing "forced outing" policies. Under the state law: Consent Requirement School staff are barred from disclosing a student’s sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression to anyone—including parents—without the student's explicit consent. Employee Protection: The law shields teachers and administrators from retaliation or disciplinary action if they refuse to notify parents. State Argument: California officials argued that the policy protects a minor's constitutional right to privacy and safeguards vulnerable students from potential family rejection or abuse.
Clearly California want to transition your kids without you knowing until it's too late. And yes I know you don't support gender transitions.
I have no problem with gays or lesbians, I have worked with gays and lesbians. I had a close friend who is a lesbian,says she never had sex with a man and can never. Apparently she has plenty of those penetrative toys .Gays and lesbians should do their thing without forcing the society to accept them has been my belief. I do have serious problems with those who push gender transitions to kids. No kid should be allowed or influenced to do so unless they are 18 years and above. Proposals by that community have been to block use of puberty blockers .What that means is before a kid is 10 /11 he or she starts undergoing the transition. Those kids are already sexualized. That kid should be growing normally but is instead seeking admiration over his body changes Everyone loves their body being complimented esp body builders. Who do you think compliments a young boy who is growing a pair of boobs ,no beards plus a bum bum to boot?
Going by that vote 198 democrats voted no while all republicans voted to ban the transitions. The other day , Republicans in Oklahoma had other ideas about totally banning marriages below 18, based on their own interpretation of early pregnancies .
Long and short ,democrats are the real paedophiles not Republicans. Hope this explains why I mentioned you on a seemingly unrelated matter . |

America you’re cooked girl.
I don’t necessarily care about this that much because it’s Republican on Republican crime.
But it’s very reminiscent of how a certain someone won all the swing states (lmao). And portends greater evil lurking around more than anything else.
Meanwhile Massie is the guy who stood on whatever it was they ran on as a party. So clearly it can’t be explained away by ideological differences causing voters to shift from him.
If anything, he kept his foot on the promises they made their constituents (weird as they may or may not be). Cooked I tell you. They really said if the rigged it that first time, their voters would never need to vote again.

I hope these ones on here (including Ibe okehie that swore he will support Trump with his life ) are willing to give up their citizenship and their children’s citizenship to satisfy their partisan agenda. Yeye dey smell. Imagine selling yourself and pride for pennies. To be caricatured and constantly embarrassed by such a putrid blob of orange maleficence. Eew If not luck and racism, on a level playing field where two men are born into the exact same circumstances, what African man can Trump measure up to realistically? And this is my sincere honest opinion. There’s nothing remotely worthy of respect about him. He can’t even hold a candle to a decent below average black man. I hate that I love them more than they love themselves. Because it’s disgusting to me and embarrassing to watch people who should be odogwu on a normal day cowtow to such a mess of a person. Like we get that the system is the way it is and there’s not much anyone can do except survive or hopefully thrive in it. But to bow to this melting weakling is just other levels of embarrassing.

basilico: Cococandy. California has a law similar to that. As advanced as California is, I can promise you that we do not have the capacity to perform gender reassignment surgeries in our schools. Heck many schools are still fighting for free lunch for every student. School nurses can’t even give the kids Tylenol (paracetamol) without express parental written consent. The fact that you can believe we have plastic surgeons (arguably the highest paid surgeons), anesthesiologists, O.R nurses, surgical techs, circulating nurses and PACU (post anesthesia recovery unit) nurses, all lining up to give students free trans surgery in public schools tells me everything I need to know about you. This is the minimum staffing needed for a semi functional operating room. We haven’t even gotten into the logistics of how they would be obtaining O.R equipment. Sterilization of equipment. Lab services (all surgical patients must have labs prior to). Scrubs techs. Gosh you guys exasperate me. Your party knows you people are extremely gullible. That’s why they sell you hogwash like this to you without even considering how ludicrous it sounds to reasonable people. I thought Trump was steupid when he said boys are going to public school and coming him with gender reassignment surgeries performed on them. But it was probably a smart thing he said knowing people like would believe him. It’s scary how me$$ed up your minds are such that most bizarre things make sense to you. Scary. |

More people victimized by the anti free speech Trump administration need to start suing. Especially on the Kirk issue. Tennessee officials will pay $835,000 to settle a lawsuit filed by a man who was jailed for more than a month over a Facebook post he made about the assassination of Charlie Kirk. During his time in jail, Larry Bushart says he lost his job and missed his wedding anniversary and the birth of his granddaughter, according to a federal lawsuit Bushart filed in December against Perry County, its sheriff and the investigator who obtained the arrest warrant.

Almost like we warned them Jordan Hayes:
I voted for Donald J. Trump three times.
But what happened last night in Kentucky has me genuinely disturbed about where this country is heading.
Congressman Thomas Massie, a true Republican who voted with Trump and the GOP over 90% of the time, was primaried out in the most expensive House primary in U.S. history. Over $32 million spent, much of it from Miriam Adelson (born in Israel, who has repeatedly said her priority is Israel) and aligned pro-Israel groups.
His Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallrein never did a single debate. He skipped all eight actually. He dodged most interviews and ran almost no in-person events or town halls. Massie outworked him 10 to 1 on the ground, meeting and greeting voters nonstop.
Yet in the end, the MONEY won.
At the same time, President Trump is touting 37 wins and 0 losses on his primary endorsements. Yet his own approval rating has dropped to just 35-37% in the latest polls? Interesting.
Massie was a Republican fighting for what the American people actually want, not the billionaire class, not the Miriam Adelson crowd. People under 50 in America do not support our “greatest ally”. Actually, more than 70% hold “unfavorable” views and that number is getting bigger every minute.
When trust in this administration is already so low and we are seeing massive donor influence knock out voices like the America First Thomas Massie, I cannot put anything past them.
Did last night just prove that our elections in America are officially up for sale? Because that is exactly how it feels waking up today. It seems congressional seats are now something these billionaires and mega-corporations can just outright buy.
We grew up being told America is the greatest democracy in the world, that your vote matters, that anyone can rise up and be anything. We’re waking up to the lies. Our leaders don’t represent us anymore. They are bought and paid for by foreign interests and people working on behalf of foreign governments. This should scare the hell out of every patriot, Republican or not.
If the roles were reversed and we heard these kinds of allegations against the other side, would we dismiss it? Or demand answers?
Be honest.
Honestly, something just feels very wrong right now doesn’t it?
I am saddened today because of Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address: “…and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” I am sorry Abe… the US government is no longer of the people, by the people, or for the people.
Idk about you, but this does not feel like America.
I don’t want any part of this “democracy”.
Tell me what you are thinking — Democrats and Republicans alike. I want to hear from all sides on this! |

You haven’t said a bad thing in this write up. I’ll give you that. But it seems quite hypocritical given you’re rooting for the people who are making the terrible choices you speak of. And you yourself can’t brag that you do the right thing when personal interest is at stake. That’s why it’s difficult to take the moral grandstanding you guys perform against African Americans seriously. bemeruca: You are mixing two different things. And budaatum also has this issue.
When I say education is already there, I am talking about formal education and access to information.
People know corruption is bad. They know tribalism, greed, selfishness, and disunity destroy societies.
This is not some hidden secret that only a university professor can explain.
The problem is not that people have never heard the truth. The problem is that many people know the truth and still choose the wrong thing when money, power, tribe, religion, or personal interest is involved.
See Emefiele as an example. He is not an illiterate man. He is educated, experienced, and had access to every economic expert, etc.
Yet what did that education produce when character, accountability, and national interest were missing?
So no, I am not contradicting myself.
Education can expose wrong thinking, but education alone does not fix character.
You can educate a greedy person and simply produce a smarter thief.
You can educate a tribalist and simply produce someone who justifies tribalism with better grammar.
My point is this - the deeper problem is mindset, culture, values, accountability, and unity.
Education helps, yes, but pretending education alone is the magic solution is shallow.
And when I push back on Deepsight blaming everything on white people, colonialism, or climate, that is also a form of education. I am challenging excuses, exposing weak arguments, and forcing him to confront internal failures.
So the issue is not left or right. The issue is whether we are honest enough to admit that our own choices, leaders, culture, greed, and disunity are major reasons for our problems.
So we have a culture of greed and selfishness in the country. |

Thomas Massie spoke too much about the pay doughs and their protectors. He had to go.
He was one of the few decent republicans left. By investing 30 million to get rid of him, MAGA is telling their other politicians that they won’t tolerate anyone who speaks against pay doughs.
MTG spoke out too and started getting death threats from her party. For being against Epstein class.

whatever they have on American lawmakers must be HEAVY! Because you can bet your last cent he’s making this threat because he feels USA lawmakers will back them up against the entire world if necessary. You don’t feel that confident if nothing is informing that confidence. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich threatens to declare war on the entire world and destroy everything if an arrest warrant is issued against him.
He declares himself and Netanyahu's government above the law and says war crime accusations do not apply to them.
"And in the face of a declaration of war, we will respond with war."

Systemic racism exists because people like these are teaching your kids. Do you think the black kids in this class will get fair grades that reflect their actual abilities? Do you guys think specially talented black kids in this class will get a recommendation from this teacher to be put into fast track classes that reflect their amazing skills and talents ? Success usually starts at these levels. It’s not self victimization to point out that these things are happening. It’s actually a disservice to not educate your offspring that people like this exist who will try to be a cog in the wheel of their progress. It doesn’t mean you tell your kids not to try because racists will try to stop them. But don’t lie to them about the truth of what’s going on in the world around them. That way they’ll be better equipped when they are on their own in the world. People used to be ashamed to express themselves this way. But Trump came in and told them it’s freedom of speech and their right to be hateful if they wish to. That’s why we are seeing more incidents of brazen behavior like this. A student recorded a video of his teacher, Karen Savage, Allegedly, hanging a Black doll from a cord inside a classroom. Allegedly, She said she did it to get their attention. The incident is now under investigation, and his mother made the decision to remove him from the school due to a complete lack of trust in its leadership.
Some stories speak for themselves.
If you find yourself disagreeing with Black people about America, our experiences in this country, and the realities we continue to face around the world — while believing you are on the right side of history — then you are not on the right side of history.

That means that the education is not all there? is it? I don’t think you guys realize you don’t have to consistently disagree with anyone you think is on the left even when they’re making the same point as you. It’s strange to observe.
