Ha. Raum said it's your fault for taking it seriously when Trump who started and insurrection and then pardoned those same people said that he was considering running for a 3rd term, knowing full well there is 0 chance a constitutional amendment would be passed by then.

Epic levels of gaslighting.
You have 3rd grade level understanding so its not a surprise that flew over your head

I have blocked many of them but someone I know on Twitter has said this twice last month about silence from them on this matter. They no longer say that BS of only illegal immigrants anymore according to him. grin

Many people would begin to realize that whatever privileges they enjoyed as non-citizens or non-Whites is actually because of Democrats and Liberals and moderate Justices on the U.S. Supreme Court last century. This is a part of the hard lessons that many people must learn by fire by force and that both parties are not the same.

the tulsa massacre, the destruction of black wall street, the wiping of a thriving successful black community by whites actually happened

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulsa_race_massacre

The massacre began during Memorial Day weekend after 19-year-old Dick Rowland, a black shoeshiner, was accused of assaulting Sarah Page, a white 21-year-old elevator operator in the nearby Drexel Building.[25] He was arrested and rumors that he was to be lynched were spread throughout the city, where a white man named Roy Belton had been lynched the previous year. Upon hearing reports that a mob of hundreds of white men had gathered around the jail where Rowland was being held, a group of 75 black men, some armed, arrived at the jail to protect Rowland. The sheriff persuaded the group to leave the jail, assuring them that he had the situation under control.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmett_Till

Emmett Louis Till (July 25, 1941 – August 28, 1955) was a 14-year-old African American youth, who was abducted and lynched in Mississippi in 1955 after being accused of offending a white woman, Carolyn Bryant, in her family's grocery store. The brutality of his murder and the acquittal of his killers drew attention to the long history of violent persecution of African Americans in the United States. Till posthumously became an icon of the civil rights movement.[2]
Till spoke to 21-year-old Carolyn Bryant, the white, married proprietor of a local grocery store. Although what happened at the store is a matter of dispute, Till was accused of flirting with, touching, or whistling at Bryant. Till's interaction with Bryant, perhaps unwittingly,
this is what the civil rights movement fought for - and this is what team trump is pushing back towards. a world and time when non whites 'knew their place', had only the most basic opportunities and could be lynched at a moments notice on the flimsiest of made up stories with no repercussions

The same way immigrants are being arrested and deported on the flimsiest of reasons. All tattoos are now gang affiliation tattoos.

As a Nigerian I understand exactly how it goes. It is the way Nigerian police will pick up people who are clearly innocent because they want to shake them down. In this case ice agents are picking up people who are clearly innocent because they want to pump up the numbers for king trump

https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2025/03/31/uk-school-suspended-a-toddler-for-transphobia-n3801347

Department for Education (DfE) data show the child, aged either three or four, was suspended from a state school in the 2022-23 academic year for “abuse against sexual orientation and gender identity”.
The school and further details of the case were not disclosed.
But statistics show that 94 pupils at state primary schools were suspended or permanently excluded for transphobia and homophobia in 2022-23.

Interesting story out of the UK. Wonder where exactly it happened. The name of the school and the name of the toddler. Most toddlers can’t even talk. Would be interesting to know what was said by this 3 year old who’s still suckling from a bottle.
I guess all UK parents who don’t want their kids to experience this should pack up and leave the UK since it’s apparently a cesspool of LGBTQ corruption if 3 year olds who can’t even talk well are being sent out of class for being something phobic. 🤔

A toddler has been kicked out of nursery after being accused of transphobia, new figures reveal.

The child, aged either three or four, was suspended for 'abuse against sexual orientation and gender identity', data from the Department for Education shows.

The offenses took place in the 2022-23 academic year at a state school, according to The Telegraph.

Helen Joyce, director of advocacy at Sex Matters, said: 'Every once in a while, the extremes of gender ideology throw up a story that seems too crazy to believe, and a toddler being suspended from nursery for so-called "transphobia" or homophobia is one such example.

White House aides have drafted a proposal to impose tariffs of around 20 percent on most imports to the United States, people familiar with the matter said, as President Trump pushes for the most aggressive overhaul of the global economic system in decades.

My last child was talking by 2 and by 3 he started his nursery school.

Before a year he was saying simple words.

Maybe you experienced it 5 years after delivering but children hardly lie to themselves. A kid sees a boy, it calls the boy a boy. They learn both good and bad things because they don't know any better.

You should be saying if true the school or whatever the kid was attending is crazy because it is A KID.

but here you are.
You have experience, that say shiit to the tune of IjeBos.

Stories for people like YOU!

But then again I don’t live in the UK so I guess I shouldn’t speak for them. I wonder if UK parents are having to prep their kids before school to tell them the right LGBTQ friendly phrases so they don’t get suspended from school. Is that the UK experience? 🤔

I wouldn’t take stories whose proof is “data shows” “sources say” with a grain of salt. If my 3 year old is sent out of school for such crap, we would be at the principal’s office. The school would be going on record and the teacher/s involved would be going on record too to defend their actions. Everything will be public information and whatever my child said that warranted such action would be documented too.

This falls in the realm of Trump’s claim that American schools are performing gender surgeries on children in the classrooms. A stupid take to outrage MAGA who believe such nonsense without verification. But again I’m not in the UK. So I’ll let them speak on their experience if their children as young as breastfeeding age are being suspended from school.

Can you imagine you’re a parent and your son leaves the house and you say, ‘Jimmy, I love you so much, go have a good day in school,’ and your son comes back with a brutal operation? Can you even imagine this?
I don’t think he even knows surgeries require a surgeon & her 1st assist (who can be either a nurse or another surgeon), anesthesiologist or CRNA, at least 2 types of OR nurses. A circulator and a runner at the very least. And a scrub tech. This by American standards is a skeletal crew of OR team. But we can manage that if we have nothing else. What schools have these teams of professionals on hand for the off chance situation that little Jimmy decides in the middle of algebra that he wants to become Janet? Some schools can’t even keep a nurse on staff full time.

When a President hides from the press for 4yrs he likely wont make errors, unlike Trump who takes questions every day from the press.

If I were the disciple of a liar too, I might be delusional enough to tell myself I’m happier than the next group of people whose only difference is that they care and I don’t.

Was it happiness that led you guys to attempt to hang your vice president?
Looking beyond self-reports to more objective indicators of mood, a research team led by psychologist Sean Wojcik of the University of California-Irvine comes to a very different conclusion.

The researchers report that conservatives are more likely to proclaim they are happy. But liberals are more likely to provide clues indicating they’re experiencing actual joy,

“Self-reports of happiness and life satisfaction ... are susceptible to self-enhancing distortions,” they write in the journal Science. “Our studies found that political liberals exhibited more frequent and intense happiness-related behavior than political conservatives.”

So why would people who insist they’re happy be more likely to use negative words?
“deliberately distorted self-assessments related to self-presentation concerns,” and “honestly believed but unrealistically favorable self-assessments.”

The researchers found a correlation between participants who scored high on self-deception and those who strongly agreed with such statements as “I don’t care to know what other people really think of me”; “I never regret my decisions”; and “I am a completely rational person.”

In line with previous studies, the researchers found “increasing political conservatism predicted greater reported life satisfaction.” However, they “also found that self-deceptive enhancement was higher among conservatives than liberals.”

Liberals, in other words, were more self-aware, meaning that when they declared they were happy, it was more likely to be genuinely true.
When a President hides from the press for 4yrs he likely wont make errors, unlike Trump who takes questions every day from the press. Find quality points to attack on not the tired lines of he is Hitler, he is fascist, he said he would be a dictator from day 1, or just burn another Tesla and terrorize a Tesla driver off the road.

Maybe he should turn the cameras off and actually get some work done for the good of the people. Any day now.

You mean quality points like how he’s crashing the economy and the stock market? Alienating us from the rest of the world? Scamming Americans with crypto? Increasing cost of medications for elderly citizens? Removing financial protections from the citizens? Rendering Americans jobless? Do tell me when to stop because we can be here all day and there won’t be an end to the nonsense he’s doing.

If it happens then it wont be because Trump made it happen rather it will be because our elected officials voted for it plus 3/5th of the states
voted for it
When those that we elected to make laws change the laws to allow him then what will be your talking points about following the due process to change the laws?
You mean when he removes any checks and balances that stop him from achieving his megalomaniacal goals? My talking point will be the same and you will still be here to support him because he can do no wrong in your eyes.

So you are now shilling for MS13 gang members?
The Trump Administration said he was deported because of an Administration Error.
You don't send people to prisons or deport them because of an error you make.
If Trump and co. had the evidence they would have easily tried and convicted him in court or in immigration court.
We have laws in this country for a reason.
This is extrajudicial and it should scare everyone that someone was sent to a 3rd country jail on an error.

Something is really broken with you that at some point you were an immigrant and you chose to rationalize this.

A Maryland man who was in the United States legally was deported to El Salvador and imprisoned there because of an “administrative error,” Trump administration officials said in a court filing on Monday, adding that American courts lacked the jurisdiction to have him released.

If they liberal snowflakes they can threaten to leave the country, A few have left the US already because of Trump, but those with a spine will stay back and take their country back like we did in America last November when we kicked the leftists out.
It seems you deliberately let than one get over you or maybe you don’t get my reference. Moving on.
Yes from the same crew who want minors to undergo surgeries, from the same people who want to teach minors about sex without parental consent. The same people who mock the idea of a traditional family and want govt to be their daddy
Didn’t republicans just attempt to pass a bill that allows adults to look into children’s genitaliass without the parents present? And y’all said that was okay? But sex education is the problem? It’s the projection for me.

You guys were literally calling Trump daddy a few months ago. I can’t make this up. Even grown men in your camp were in public romancing their microphones and saying “daddy’s home”. And let me tell you that was so cringey to watch. Shame leave them catch me. Pls direct this to your camp.

Talking about those who take him serious, Apparently 77m Americans, Majority in all swing states, majority all over the country, improving his vote margin in more than 2300 counties. Despite the political elites, the media and the judiciary throwing everything at him
I know you don’t believe that and I’d bet on it that you wouldn’t pass a lie detector test that you actually believe that. Anyhow See below. For someone that was massively voted in.

Interesting story out of the UK. Wonder where exactly it happened. The name of the school and the name of the toddler. Most toddlers can’t even talk. Would be interesting to know what was said by this 3 year old who’s still suckling from a bottle.
I guess all UK parents who don’t want their kids to experience this should pack up and leave the UK since it’s apparently a cesspool of LGBTQ corruption if 3 year olds who can’t even talk well are being sent out of class for being something phobic. 🤔
Sounds like something AI wrote.

They know the kinds of people who believe stuff like that. And it works on them that’s why we are where we are today.

Trump told them children were undergoing sex change surgery in schools and they believed him. Not one out of the millions of them stopped to think “huh, I didn’t realize American schools have full functioning operating rooms”.

These are people whose kids go to school and they know their children can’t get a Tylenol from the school nurse without approval and written report of what happened. It’s amazing how easily they can be goaded into believing the most ludicrous of things.
