Migrants are being abused and robbed on their way to the USA. Should governments be providing soldiers at various stages of the journey to provide security?

And collect taxes to pay for the service at the end or as part of their immigration, so they reimburse you?

Trump Rips Enemies, Ignores Melania in Mother’s Day Post

It appears that Donald Trump has left Melania Trump, his current wife and mother of his youngest child, unnamed in his Mother’s Day greetings. Instead, the former president chose to wish a “Happy Mother’s Day” to the mothers of the “complete Lunatics and Maniacs” who are part of “the Radical Left.” How sweet.

Trump shared his Mother’s Day well wishes on Truth Social, the social media platform he launched in the wake of his pre-Elon Musk exile from Twitter. Within an hour of going live, the post accumulated more than 2,000 shares, aka “ReTruths.”

Happy Mother’s Day to ALL, in particular the Mothers, Wives and Lovers of the Radical Left Fascists, Marxists, and Communists who are doing everything within their power to destroy and obliterate our once great Country,” he wrote.

Just minutes later, the former president was back to posting his usual drivel about politics — this time bashing his rival, Ron DeSantis, with Trump’s pet name for him, “Rob DeSanctimonious.”

Trump is fond of using holidays to shout out his detractors. On Easter in 2021, he released a statement very similar to his Mother’s Day post, declaring, “Happy Easter to ALL, including the Radical Left CRAZIES who rigged our Presidential Election, and want to destroy our Country!” On July 4, 2014, he tweeted, “Happy 4th of July to everyone, including the haters and losers!” Less than a year earlier, he tweeted about Sept. 11, writing, “I would like to extend my best wishes to all, even the haters and losers, on this special date, September 11th.”

FYI: 2023-70= 1953 after WW2. I’m just looking at the cost of lives, money, ptsd, radicalizing local communities whose families troops have killed…

In this scenario, you can keep your guns but you cannot have any ammo for them - not now or ever again.

OR

You can have as much ammo as you want, but you lose your guns and can never again have any guns at all.

Choose please!

I think living with transphobic parents is worse because at least the stuff that racist parents say, racist parents know the stuff they're saying is dumb. All props to racist parents.

Transphobic parents will immediately ignore or even cut off their kids for even daring to transition, fearing that they will "cut their genitals off". (My family is like this.) That the standard in society is a straight, masculine, Christian man. "Christian"? How Christian is that type of behavior. They create extra trauma and make all of their kids think they're dumb.

Which one of those two has a worse supporter base?

I hate hypocrites. How is this not hypocritical?

Group A: wants and is actively researching clean energy (solar, nuclear, wind). Makes animal rights laws. Wants to move humanity onto a vegan diet free of nicotine, alcohol and other pollutants. Invents new technology like space craft. Promotes biology over theology. Promotes healthy breeding. Promotes social equality.

Group B: starts wars that kill millions of people for cheap energy (coal, oil). Subsidizes efforts to make livestock bigger, so big they couldn't even walk around anymore. Makes factory farms so big they turn into sky scrapers. Makes nuclear missiles and uses them on cities controlled by governments they dont like. Destroys supply trains to prisons of foreign countries leading to mass starvation of inmates just because they can. Injects an entire town of people with a debilitating disease, telling the people that the injections were beneficial. Kidnaps innocent people and gives them LSD and deeply traumatizes them to control their minds.

Gov. Ron DeSantis Calls Daniel Penny A ‘Good Samaritan’ After Jordan Neely Killing

Daniel Penny, the 24-year-old military veteran facing criminal charges for putting a New York City subway rider in a fatal chokehold earlier this month, was acting as a “Good Samaritan” in the eyes of hard-right Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

He shared a link to where Penny is collecting funds for his legal defense on Twitter Friday evening.

In the same post, the governor — rumored to be launching his bid for the Republican presidential nomination any day now — ranted against “the Soros-Funded DAs” in reference to popular right-wing boogeyman George Soros, an elderly Jewish billionaire who supports progressive causes.

Penny surrendered on a manslaughter charge this week. The former U. S. Marine claims he acted in self-defense against Jordan Neely, a homeless Black man who openly addressed other passengers in the car.

The 30-year-old’s death set off protests in New York, which struggles to provide adequate services to people without housing, disproportionately represented by people of color, many of whom experience mental health problems.
“We stand with Good Samaritans like Daniel Penny. Let’s show this Marine... America’s got his back,” DeSantis wrote on Twitter.

That’s essentially what the district is arguing in a lawsuit after a 6 yr old shot his teacher. They say getting shot should just result in workers comp. Everyday school stuff, gawd!

Just off the cuff?

If people are so desperate by the 1000's in Venezuela to risk their lives coming to the USA, should the USA take action to stabilize the country, by any means necessary?

“There if we work, we work only to eat. We don’t have enough to buy ourselves a pair of shoes. … That’s why we are coming here,” she says. “Because we know that here you can survive. Here you can live well.”

You can be assured if USA does not, China or Russia will. We might as well solve the problems.

President Biden spoke today at a commencement address at Howard University, May 2023 and that's what he said. He said this at the state of the union address.

Of all things he could talk about, to this largely black audience, this is the topic he chose.

He received some cheers.
