Why are they so obsessed? What did transgender people ever do to spark such a visceral hate? There's a caustic bitterness to these people that seems to be eating them alive.
What did disabled or gay people ever do to the Nazis? Fascists need outgroups as a target for their hatred. It gives them a sense of purpose, and it unifies them, since they are all cultivating the same hole in their morality. Small and marginalized outgroups are easy prey, and trans people don't have much of a voice in the public sphere, so it's easy to paint them as monsters.
I mean for one Ohioan, I satisfied his ex wife in ways he never managed.
No idea why so many others there hate us so much. It sucks because I could've just kept living there and continued contributing to the state had they not started passing transphobic laws
This is how you do it, you don’t brag about how worked alongside Republicans to harm trans people or lend legitimacy to the sports farce.
Whenever we are talking about the MAGA boogeyman of the day, we are losing. Whenever they bring up Trans, or Biden, or Commies, we have to ignore it, and talk about Affordability, the War, gas prices, corruption, inflation, taxes, AI, Flock cameras, data centers, corruption, ICE, DoJ, FBI, DHS, SCOTUS, corruption, destruction of national monuments, healthcare, education, corruption, election integrity, foreign interference, white supremacy, Sociopathic Oligarchs, corruption, etc.
We need to control the message, not MAGA. They have plenty to answer for, and EVERYBODY knows it, including them, so make them answer to our charges, not the other way around.
And just laugh in their faces every time they say Biden. Humiliate them for their cowardice in not acknowledging that it's all on Trump and MAGA, and they know it.
And just laugh in their faces every time they say Biden.
It's begun.
The tone of that "I yield back," just so "nobody cares about the answer to my question, dipshit, it was rhetorical. Keep stammering, you're only doing me a favor."
I remember the Bush administration blamed EVERYTHING on Clinton, who by all metrics, had a very successful presidency.
The blame game was getting old, as more and more incompetence took over the administration, but then Bush got reelected, and Hurricane Katrina happened. About three days into the circus of incompetence that accompanied everything the Bush administration did, someone tried to blame their piss poor total lack of preparation and response to the biggest, slowest, most predictable hurricane in history on Clinton, and you could almost hear the ENTIRE nation groan at once. Journalists savaged them for it so badly, that I never heard a Bush official ever blame anything on Clinton again.
We have to do that EVERY single time they bring up Biden, Obama, Clinton, etc. Just laugh in their faces, and when they try to justify it, just shake your head like they are too stupid to respond to, and start asking about Affordability and when and how Trump's AmerIsraeli War® is going to end.
Mr. Torres is frankly a real shitbag, but this was a stellar dunk, that was fun to watch
I have watched this clip so many times over the past week or so. It is so hilarious.
But the Faux type of voter is so clueless that they actually believed dumbass donnie when he says he inherited the "worst inflation in history".
Fact just bounce off their skulls and they choose to believe tiny-d donnie. That dumbass getting roasted in your clip was trying to repeat the same fucking lie.
Politics in the US is only now getting special attention because the insulation of the average voter is finally being pierced by the terrible shit Trump is doing. As soon as gas goes back to under a certain threshold, the propaganda networks will slowly turn their viewers back into comfortable and complacent fools with their culture war bullshit.
This country has a very narrow window of sobriety to actually change things back for the better before it goes back to its bread and circuses. I only hope the next couple of upcoming elections has no attempted subversion of democracy by the ruling class.

Seems to me it's been 'subverted' by them since about the time the constitution was signed.
The problem is that the damage your recent administrations have done can't be undone. America is going to lose its reserve currency status, and your entire economy depends on that. Not to mention that your reputation as a reliable trade and defence partner is gone. America's only real asset was its network of alliances and institutional privileges, and you've torn them all down in recent years.
The dark times for your country are just beginning.
And the Republicans will pin it all on trans, gays, women, brown and black people, immigrants, "wokeness", teaching evolution, abortion, no-fault divorce, liberal news/Hollywood, and the lack of prayer in schools.
Oh, and Biden, Obama, Harris and Hillary....
Now this guy gets it.
You’re so close Mr. Brown. Now stop bending backwards for AIPAC.
its always the economy. and then corruption routing by the elites. Can we ALL PLEASE stop focusing anything on culture wars for the next elections until we get these dumpster fires out? focusing on your racism or special interest is what lead to the destruction of the nation and letting billionaires corrupt our nation as a whole and start wars steal wealth more fraud waste abuse by contractors being 75% of government and gas lighting us to firing 25% of gov workers to hire more contractors. STOP chasing your own special interests.
REMOVE INCOME TAX they DO NOT TAX THE WEALTHY EVER. at least for anyone making 100-200k = lower middle to upper middle pay the most not wealthy as percentage of wealth gained as gas lighting musk says. then you can tax the rest if you want but 90% of the nation should not be paying income tax at all with what the esptein class has pulled recent years bail outs after bailouts wars after wars started by themselves and producing pandemic killing millions for their gains.
its not even about parties both sides are the same but we need to keep them both in check. focus MUCH less about culture and much more about economy and corruption no one should give one rats ass about lgbtq or cultural rights that is not important. we focus on individual rights not any cultural group. economically though sorry but I will not tolerate concentration of wealth if you are protected by proposition 13 like in ca and other forms of welfare for the wealthy you are the problem. revoke as much of it as possible.
if they had paid regular prop taxes today as the new buyer would they would all go bankrupt. that is a fact. focus on crashing the housing market if you refuse focus on increasing min wage to match the housing market that would be a min wage of 200 dollars an hour now.
thats just a fact. choose to lower prices or raise wages. IDGAF about your culture wars and stop wasting money on bailing out other nations and remove the tariffs. do wealth tax if you can but LAND VALUE TAX is the easiest tax to put in place to replace the income tax.
I’m a fan of prop 13, keeps family homes in the family and allows elderly to enjoy their final years and not being thrown in a state run elder care facility. Which we don’t have enough to even take in all the elders that would lose their home. While i understand your point many elderly aren’t wealthy, their living on social security and small pension payments. Having a expensive house doesn’t do anything for you if you never sell it. Most are in dire need of repair as well which on,y someone with money could take on.
Fuking thank you sir!!!! Take notes!!
Ordinarily, I might not vote for Brown, but Hustead is worse and he's probably ALSO supported by AIPAC.
Why would he be in hot water for that? Who is her in hot water with? The Republicans? Who cares?
In ohio almost every "anti-sherrod" ad out there is claiming "forced sex changes for children" like it's some conveyor belt in a warehouse where kids are taken. It's nice to hear him call it out as the ridiculous thing it is, but it's a Republican fear mongering tactic that is being used pretty extensively in the ads.
It's very depressing to me that such a large segment of the population believes that ANYONE is being forced into a sex change operation. We can't get friggin healthcare but they think there's some cabal somewhere funding expensive operations because, I don't know, they want more trans people in the world. It feels ridiculous to even try to put that in words and they run around just believing this shit. SMH.
The culture war is the only thing they love.
Now this guy gets it.
u mean the ones landlords been abusing for the past 50 yrs voting to prevent development and encouraging nimbys low production of housing intentionally and dumping taxes onto the income tax payers subsidizing the home owners while paying almost nothing in taxes vs amount they take away from community. fact is prop 13 is one of the worst protection of the espteins laws made in existence gas lighting locals thinking it will help them but really no law will be made law unless it helps the epsteins. and because most are selfish they fell right into it now california is now a play toy for the epsteins and locals cannot afford to buy any house or produce any house. while paying wages that cannot buy any house. good job boomers hope you keep it forever. will be voting for increases in taxes on home owners especially those that own more than one and especially those that keep it vacant.
fuk your rentals.
This is like Trump saying, "Immigrants? Nobody cares, that's crazy!"
