"I mean, I was there with him one day when he ended the caliphate,"

But you people fear A Transgender more than a POTUS taking advice from Kid Rock or Making an executive order at the request of someone he saw on Fox News

Trump issued an executive order on Critical Race Theory after seeing a segment about it on Tucker Carlson's show

a Guy named Christopher Rufo who invented the CRT outrage wich FOX new mentioned like 5000 times last year


Rufo falsely claimed that a diversity consultant hired by the Treasury Department had “told employees essentially that America was a fundamentally white supremacist country,” and urged them to "accept their white racial superiority"; however, the diversity consultant had said no such thing.

But republicans and Truth are like oil and water
but it’s ok with you that Biden is using tiktok stars to spread the lie that Putin is responsible for all the inflation we’re dealing with. but not kid rock.

left=good, right=bad, we get it already.

is it truthful that putin caused then inflation?

biden administration said there was no inflation, then said it was transitory, then said inflation was a good thing, now it’s bad but all Putin’s fault.

you want the gop to be truthful but don’t seem to hold your side to any similar standard. why is that?

Yes Biden and the feds were wrong on inflation being transitional

then there’s Putin inflation attached to his invasion effect oil prices. Which impact all goods in services in the world resulting in inflation

Oh I forgot oil that’s Biden’s fault

They sought to destroy our traditional values and force on us their false values that would erode us, our people from within, the attitudes they have been aggressively imposing on their countries, attitudes that are directly leading to degradation and degeneration, because they are contrary to human nature,”

Sound familiar.

she lost to a physical male....I know that Lia insists that they are as much a woman as any other woman but the fact is they are only a woman in a tiny recess of their brain...their body is male minus whatever drugs are being administered.....I mentioned that I am glad that Lia was finally able to find success in their swimming endeavors....unfortunately, it came as a great cost to women who are not physically males....I guess they should be glad they weren't competing in boxing, wrestling

Well, there are a couple of Trans-women fighting MMA and crushing their opponents. But nothing to see there

Putin is responsible for inflation related to the surge in oil from the invasion.

But before the invasion, inflation was at 30 year highs. Much of that is Trump and Biden's fault. Can't print money forever without inflation, you just can't.

"Right wing taking points ."

What did I say here. that not true, but merely right wing talking points?

Inflation is going to get worse. And the person in power bears the brunt of that.

It's a lie to say Biden caused all the inflation. That doesn't mean he didn't cause any of it. It's an equal lie to say he caused none of it.

I had no idea that was happening. Shouldn't be surprised. These people make Obama look uber conservative, it's unbelievable. The democrat party at the national level is unrecognizable compared to what it looked like on Obama's last day.

Lia Thomas finishes 8th in 100-yard freestyle, final race of collegiate swimming career

Penn swimmer Lia Thomas didn’t dominate the NCAA championships.

Lia Thomas won one event, but didn’t break any records and her race times were not extraordinary.

Yep nothing like promoting fear and hysteria.

Once again the facts don’t line up with your outrage

It cost women nothing


It was other women who dominated the meet, held at Georgia Institute of Technology. University of Virginia swimmers won 11 out of 18 events, and were back-to-back national champions. Junior Kate Douglass left with eight national titles, and broke three American records in three different strokes, an astonishing and never-before-seen feat.

So let’s see. Transgenders their not raping in droves in restrooms nor are they killing it in woman’s sports .

Odd no one has a issue with a women who is transiting to a man playing with men ?


Just incase you think it’s not happening ..

In 2017, Ezra* was a high school senior and the co-captain of his cross country team in Maryland. It was only his second year competing on the boys team, having moved over from the girls team at the beginning of his junior season. He had been a star runner on the girls varsity team his freshman year,


And to be clear if your claiming to be Transgender to get attention or to win. You’re a loser

Actually most of the subprime lending regulatory changes that led to the crisis happened under Bush's "watch."

bullsh*t. the law deregulating banks sowing them
to make investments, was passed by a republican legislature and signed by bill clinton.

and it was american people
who bought way more house than they could afford. and fishy investment bankers who bundled mortgage backed securities.

So americans approved their own loans ? More like they were mislead into adjustable APRs and when rates Blew up so did mortgage payments They could afford A but not B and C which I am sure they were told was never going to happen . And to able to own ones Home isn't that the American Dream.. and the Banks I am sure! used this desire to their advantage. it's easy to say they, the Homeowner should have read the fine Print hindsight is always 20/20 . But the banks knew they were approving loans they shouldn't have been issuing . because they were making Money they didn't care

Hedge funds, banks, and insurance companies caused the subprime mortgage crisis.

"So americans approved their own loans ? "

Yes, Americans approved those loans by signing the contracts and agreeing to paying them back. Not one American, not one, was forced to sign those mortgages.

Obviously there was some shady practices by banks, who immediately sold those mortgages and therefore don't care if they eventually default.

My point was that Bush didn't do anything. If he had tried to pass a law saying that Americans can't buy more house than they could afford, people would have rightly gone berserk.

I'm not saying the GOP didn't do anything, they passed a law in the 1990s allowing banks to get into the business of fishy, mortgage backed investments, and Bill Clinton signed that law.

Both parties contributed, banks contributed, Wall Street contributed, and greedy/irresponsible homeowners contributed. But I remember the 2008 election. It was all framed as Bush's fault. If you didn't complain about that, don't complain if Biden gets blamed for gas prices and inflation.

What's good for the goose...

"And to able to own ones Home isn't that the American Dream"

Sure. Doesn't mean the way to do that, is to buy a house if you can only afford the interest payment on a variable mortgage.

"hindsight is always 20/20"

Not just hindsight, smart people saw that coming a mile away, it was a bubble begging to be burst. People were taking outrageous mortgages.

"But the banks knew they were approving loans they shouldn't have been issuing . because they were making Money they didn't care "

And many people knew they were taking out mortgages they could never hope to pay back, but they assumed housing prices would increase forever and they could just cash out the equity when mortgage payments increased. Stupid. You don't need to be a graduate of the Yale School of Economics to see what was coming.

"Hedge funds, banks, and insurance companies"

Also politicians of both parties, and the American people did it to themselves. Liberals hate the concept of individual responsibility.
