And the basis for assuming I don't understand the motivations of politicians I don't support is what? That I don't act the way you think I should towards them? No, he definitely lumped me in with them. You have missed me saying it explicitly in the last few pages of this thread.
Name one. Vague weasel words. Specify. And I'm saying that rests on a pile of assumptions that allow you to lump me in with them. Strawmen, then. All of it. You're doing the "lack of enthusiastic support equals opposition" thing. The only thing I oppose on the LGBQWERTY topic is people granting themselves special permission to impose their will or insisting their feelings nullify my rights. Beyond that, I do not care who you fuck, how you "identify," or the ridiculous degree to which someone makes it their entire personality. If you disagree, you are arguing woth strawmen.
HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you think of that yourself!?!?!?! Holy shit!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy fuckballs!!! My lungs!!! My lungs!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .....
(UA impression) "Fuck you, liar!! Fuck you, liar!! Fuck you, liar!! ". Yeah, real Eminem rap battle grade material there.
Shit and, also, fuck. Sorry, I have no idea where this would go because it's kind of bipartisan fuckery but it's also happening under the Trump administration. So far it has passed the House, but hopefully the Senate will shoot it down. This bill needs to die an absolutely ignominious yet fiery death. Kids’ safety package wins House approval The legislation cleared the House despite opposition from some kids’ safety advocates and resistance from senators backing a competing proposal.

This "safety" act would require you to upload your ID in order to use most websites that would require adult interaction. Those of you who have been paying attention to the news may already notice that LGBTQ+ content is categorized as "adult," even though it isn't by default. The morons with the (D) after their names voting for this probably think they're doing a good thing, but that's because they're either being paid by tech companies that will make bank off of this, or they're tech illiterate and it sounds good. Either way it is bad, very bad, and it will not do anything to protect children, but it will open up greater surveillance for people who hold differing political opinions and non-mainstream sexual orientations.
wait this site demands that you id yourself (user name) and register and yet you traffic this place incessantly.
Initially, when the lens got focused on Springfield there were a decent number of local politicians who said no wait, these immigrants have helped our city. Then when it became apparent that Trump wanted them out the voices of support turned mute. Pathetic.
You can see something similar when rural community hospitals close. These are often run by local boards, staffed literally by people's neighbors. But as soon as somebody mentions Trump policies that helped lead to the closure, the MAGA crowd will jump straight to screaming that the hospitals must have been mismanaged. They'd rather turn on their neighbors with no evidence than go against Dear Leader.
Whiskey Pete's responsible for another death. Members of Congress call for mandatory flu vaccines for military after Lackland outbreak, death reported I doubt that he's even upset about it since the dead kid was Black.
Posting this here because this is where we are. Trump has openly backed the proliferation of these data centers, and these data centers aren't about supporting internet infrastructure. They're for "Ai," and they're for surveillance. That is why so many of them are being pushed as hard as they are. So we have the younger generation stepping up and speaking out. In the process, they're seeing the system for what it is, and these cops are just making more people who will rebel against their authority, and they know this. Lowell Police remove 14-year-old from data center public forum More than 200 people attend first city-organized event Source: https://www.lowellsun.com/2026/06/30/lowell-police-remove-14-year-old-from-data-center-public-forum/ It is my sincere hope that the police officers involved have uncontrollable explosive diarrhea and die on the toilet, weeping. Anyone in favor of this child being arrested is a danger to women and children everywhere and can't be trusted. Harsh? Fuck no. Quit allowing these people to voice their opinions thinking they're safe to do so. Start treating their opinions as the authoritarian trash they are.
