Ummm ya about that I don’t think it was your boogyman who is legislating. It’s you.

Democrats Equality Act





And of course let’s not forget California’s recent bill allowing parents to be charged with child abuse by the ‘State’ if they don’t affirm their child’s gender. Socialism at its finest the State is now the parent. There can be no individual who is outside of the state. Everything in the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state, ain’t that right tovarisch?

If he suffer from Dementia would he fit for the job as the world most powerful man in the world ?

I never said you did Markus but seeing the clip you posted brought back an unfortunate reminder of one or two people I hold or held most dearly who are or have been stricken by this cursed condition.

Nothing more than that.

There's some evidence that the Shingles Vaccine may fend off dementia in women, so that might be a plus(if they're conservative voters). LOL

In other words you have no cogent "facts" to explain how exposing children to the "alternate lifestyle" and mutilating their bodies is more beneficial then detrimental.

What adult's do to their bodies is their business, but you need to leave children out of it. Does the name Helmut Kentler ring any bells? and While there isn't a direct correlation, that's where this ends up if people continue down this path.(sexual abuse of children becomes the norm)

Whoa whoa whoa! That's uncalled for, mate.

Anyway, the news that Trump lawyers had been trying for months to persuade Trump to return the documents will end up convicting him on the willful retention charges.

I think so too. I think Trump put himself in this position. I mean, he always lived dangerously, flouting convention. This time it caught up with him.

Biden has turned out to be less than "ok" for Trump followers, and has done very little to help the average American. He still is a better statesman and president than T. was or could ever be.

From one on one conversations about Trump with his supporters, over the last 6 years, it keeps coming back to 1. he stands his ground against the idiocy of the left, and 2. he has the best political policies for the good of the country. That's what I hear, and no one tries to defend his character.

As far as Biden being a statesman, jeesh, a broom propped up in the corner would give him a run for his money.

Everything We Know About The Biden Bribery Scheme From The FBI Document

https://thefederalist.com/2023/06/16...-fbi-document/

“The confidential human source who provided information about then Vice President Biden being involved in a criminal bribery scheme is a trusted, highly credible informant who has been used by the FBI for over 10 years and has been paid over six figures,” Chairman Comer told reporters last week.

The CHS summarized earlier meetings with Zlochevsky in the FD-1023, claiming the Bidens “coerced” the foreign businessman to pay the multimillion-dollar bribes. Zlochevsky had been trying to shut down government investigations into his Ukrainian energy firm. The energy tycoon allegedly paid $5 million to then-Vice President Joe Biden, referred to as the “Big Guy” by Zlochevsky in the FD-1023, and $5 million to Hunter.

“According to the 1023, the foreign national possesses 15 audio recordings of phone calls between him and Hunter Biden,” Grassley said. Another two recordings are reportedly calls between Zlochevsky and then-Vice President Biden, for 17 recordings in “total.”

One has to wonder why FBI Director Christopher Wray tried to keep this document from House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer. Or not.

^ Are you telling me an outsider that Biden could do the things mentioned in your comment freely while the former President was impeached for the slightest thing ?

If true then it's another scandal...well Biden belongs to the good guys so he's forgiven I guess

Yeah, really, and crazy that this in not covered in MSM, at all. I was skeptical about "Deep State" stuff until this and the suppression of news before the election. Wow.
