Nobody brought up Trmup having refugee children renditioned from their parents and taken away to holding cells where many of them have never been reunited to this day?
I don't like 'whatabouts', but the sheer awfulness of this level of hypocrisy is just stunning.
Thanks CD, great and concise explanation of the argle-bargle that counts as "talking points" from MAGAts. If I ever find myself discussing that particular topic with some idiot I'll at least know the cogent facts, but I usually piss them off much earlier in the conversation and they stomp away before we get too deep.
But the guns just cycle us into a need for ever more health-care. Is it worth getting rid of the guns to get rid of the health-care? Am I turning Republican? Japanese? A new leaf?
Still baffled about the “cover your kids’ ears” before saying the word tampon. That…isn’t a thing? I assume it’s because it has to do with vaginas, but I feel like most kids who live in the same house with their mom have seen at least the boxes. It’s an everyday household object, ffs. Why do they have to weirdly sexualize EVERYTHING.
Trump gave a speech years ago, while President, as I recall, in which he told a bunch of Boy Scouts at a jamboree about his conversation with Melania regarding the "Moscow micturition." They have no compunctions at all.
If this tampon nonsense actually penetrates deeper into the zeitgeist all they will accomplish is to make millions of girls in red states wonder why they can’t have free tampons in school as well.
The proper response would be, "You went to law school, so I can't give you the easy out that you don't understand what this law does. The only other solution is that you are lying to us."
That should be pointed out every time he engages in these gross distortions. "You went to law school right? At Yale, no less? And you were elected to the Senate, a legislative body, right? You actually know how laws work, don't you? Why are you lying about this one? Would you stand before a a judge and tell her 'Tim Walz signed this law so the state could kidnap children and change their gender without parental consent'?"
The appropriate response to someone as clearly mentally impaired as Trump is to initiate an evaluation to determine if the person is a risk to themself or others, then propose a treatment plan to mitigate that risk. Some state should do this when Trump visits.
Dunno . . . maybe it's some sorta comic-book Harmonic Convergence of Scumbaggery?

NEW: Donald Trump chartered a private jet this weekend that once belonged to the infamous sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, but his campaign says he did so “by accident.”
some dimbulb was causing issues on a FB page i am on that is decidedly very liberal. she had some interesting opinions and didn't like being called a weird liar (on account of the repeated weirdness and lying) so started following me around to be more weird and tell more lies.
their 'likes' included AT LEAST 4 dozen "anti child protective services" pages and things like "falsely accused!" etc. i'm sure she is the type of person that imagines that her children were "kidnapped" whereas when i see that much insane anti-CPS content i think "this person must've been beating those kids daily and i hope she never sees them ever again in her entire life (that ideally is spent in prison)."
Yep. I can understand someone being a little traumatized by an unfair investigation, but if they're that obsessive about it? Pretty sure that's a sign they definitely deserved that investigation.
I was a mandated reporter for a lot of years, and I'm always suspicious of people who bleat about how terrible it is to be investigated by CPS. Because what the hell is the alternative supposed to be? Just say "Oh, I can tell by looking at you that you would never abuse a kid"?
Now, are there issues with unfairness, based usually on race, in the system? Damn right there are. But the people fighting that unfairness are not whining about how terrible it is to be suspected and now the nieghbours all know- they have specific actions that are grossly incompetent to point to.
I knew a little boy who at five years old told me he wanted to run out in front of a car so he could be dead. Because of investigation, he went to a home where he was loved and cared for.
I did have a family member who got investigated because their child had a mild genetic issue that led to VERY easy bruising, and both parent and child were pretty traumatized. That said, neither of them has ever carried on any kind of campaign against CPS. They're just mildly wary sometimes, at most. I will say that in that case, the parent being a poor single mother was held against them - it was more than 35 years ago, and things have improved a lot.
With respect, and NOT to change the subject, I'm glad they have where you are. Here in my state CYFD has been in serious trouble for years because of overzealous separations, while letting horrible case after horrible case slip through the cracks.

And...
Vance: "Uh, derp, uh, derp..."
He needs to know English as well to be considered bi-lingual.

Have you considered that that might be better for both of you?
Lies and then doubling down on lies. Apparently works for MAGAs.
Why do MAGAs hate healthcare?
Costs money they could spend on guns?
But the guns just cycle us into a need for ever more health-care. Is it worth getting rid of the guns to get rid of the health-care? Am I turning Republican? Japanese? A new leaf?
The contempt they have for their base is stunning. (Note to the MAGA base, "condempt" is another word for disgust or hatred)
TBF their base DESERVES that contempt...This is on them...These motherfuckers wouldn't be in power without the RW filth that elects them...

If anyone brings a kid to a trump rally, well, I think someone should look into that...
I'd call Child Protective Services.
"If my kid never hears the V word, and that T word, they'll never have sex!"
"So, you don't want to have grandkids."
"No, I mean yes, wait!"
“Not like that!”
"Not with all the fluids and the parts and the ooh-la-la's!"
Because they are profoundly uncomfortable in their own skin.
They’re just so terrified of everything always
If this tampon nonsense actually penetrates deeper into the zeitgeist all they will accomplish is to make millions of girls in red states wonder why they can’t have free tampons in school as well.
So, the "Red Wave" is coming, just not what MAGA led us to believe.
I guess I'm #TeamTamponPenetration?
Let's not get MAGA TOO excited.
Ta, Crip Dyke. That's not how *anything* works.
>>VANCE: What I just explained to you, I would describe as kidnapping, Jon.<<
And I might explain to you that I describe myself as the Queen of France, but it doesn't make that true, either, you smug little shit.
The proper response would be, "You went to law school, so I can't give you the easy out that you don't understand what this law does. The only other solution is that you are lying to us."
I would do something like that
"Shady" Vance was then condescend but then we get to question him on what the law actually means
Vance had a topnotch legal education. He can read. He knows better, but apparently telling the truth is not in his interest. Grrr.
That should be pointed out every time he engages in these gross distortions. "You went to law school right? At Yale, no less? And you were elected to the Senate, a legislative body, right? You actually know how laws work, don't you? Why are you lying about this one?

Just like this 👆👆👆👆👆
Coming soon “TrumponX” with Elon Musk. Make your own jokes.
It blew up, didn't it?
Smells bad

He should be met by sheriff's deputies armed with a gurney and full leather restraints (I'm not being kinky, that's what is used. No straitjackets).
Accounting has now determined that leather straps are luxuries and from now on it will be zip ties.
Or, I suppose, duct tape. We were such traditionalists back then!
Lie and lie some more. That’s really all they have and have ever had.

What do you think? 🤔
Intentional. He knows he left his sunglasses SOMEWHERE ... he was just hoping to find them on the plane.
Intentional. VonShitsInPants wanted to relive the memories.

More likely her kids ran away from home...

Yeah, the focus should not be "to investigate or not to investigate" but rather "investigate better" .
