Well - I can't speak for all the political posts, but as the OP of this and a few other posts, I can honestly tell you that I am a regular 50+ parent living in NOVA - a professional college-educated woman who admittedly has become a bit addicted to DCUM but more so because during these turbulent/polarized times, I final myself more and more politically orphaned. I am also an English major and do tend to ramble at times with too much writing. I never had any trouble writing 10-20 page papers in college ![]() |
I'm sure it was strategic to get Biden to bow out on account of his failing mind, because Democrats could live with spending the next few years calling out their enemies for lacking a mind or having "elderly problems." If Democrats had waited until some of his other flaws had come to the forefront, it would have become socially awkward to have to accuse everyone who disagreed with them of touching underage girls and having an international-scale death and destruction fetish. |
Well OK, but either way a lot of people (including some Republicans) find the reports of Trump shitting himself on planes, in hallways, etc, and having to wear adult diapers to be pretty unappealing. They don’t care that he is old, it’s still gross. |
I still find it amazing that the only meaningful attack that Democrats could muster on Trump's VP pick was a satirical report that he'd f'd a couch. |
I think it’s mostly that people hate Trump. He’s truly jumped the shark. They just don’t like (rather than hate) Vance, he’s got creeper/incel/loser vibes. |
I am sure that’s what you believe is true. |
You would be right to get flagged as hateful and bigoted when you try and call Imane Khelif "tr@ns" and "a man in the boxing ring beating up women" when she was born female, has female on her birth certificate, grew up female, has never ever in her life been identified as anything other than female, including numerous medical exams and tests - UNTIL she beat a Russian boxer, after which the IBA, which is Russian-run and BANNED from the Olympics due to corruption, declared, WITHOUT SHOWING PROOF, that she supposedly "flunked a gender test" and has ever since been sketchy, evasive and generally non-respondent to any followup inquiries. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/olympic-boxer-imane-khelif-is-neither-trans-nor-male/ar-AA1oidMS?ocid=BingNewsSerp And then this poor woman got mercilessly cyberbullied and harassed by ranks of deranged right wingers, much like the ones who post here. |
More than vibes, he has said truly vile things, and has revealed himself to be an opportunist of few convictions |
And also a creeper/incel/loser. JD in 2028! |
I agree that this should be flagged as hateful and bigoted. But that is not the example PP posted - what PP posted is definitely Freedom of Speech protected by the First Amendment. However, Freedom of Speech is not protected by the First Amendment when it includes obscenity, child pornography, [b]defamatory speech, false advertising, true threats, and fighting words that incite violence.[/b] Which is why Imane Khelif actually has a basis for filing a lawsuit for libel, defamation and cyberbullying. However, expressing general statements on issues based on one's personal beliefs is Freedom of Speech protected by the First Amendment. As such, even if you don't agree with them, you are obliged to tolerate them so long as they don't cross the line. |
DP. I have said nothing of the sort. However, I do not believe it is just, fair, or right for women with XY chromosomes who went through male puberty to be fighting or competing with XX women who went through female puberty. It was not right when Caster Semenya did it, and it is not right now. I don’t really care what her birth certificate says. Those are simply not reliable any more. Apparently this is a “bigoted” opinion to the far leftists though, who believe biology is imaginary. |
This is all irrelevant. The First Amendment has nothing to do with Jeff’s moderation, which is the issue at hand here. Jeff can delete what he likes. He doesn’t have to tolerate any post he doesn’t like, regardless of the First Amendment. Also, just for the record, the First Amendment has nothing to do with French law, which is where Khelif has filed. |
You consider that a meaningful attack? It was a joke. Most Democrats recognized it as a joke. For "meaningful" objections (not attacks), I offer him falsifying his origins, belittling actual Appalachians, making a career of selling himself to the highest bidder and saying whatever he has to to close the deal, holding a deeply regressive view of women . . . do you want more, or are you savoring traits that you, mysteriously, find appealing? |

x10000000 Everyone knows the couch thing is a funny joke, but the rest of it is just a bit of his serious problems. And the dolphin thing is real. |
