Snoofy,

"What about trans men, who were born female"

Stupid question.

Laura,

"Welcome to the first amendment. I'm glad you're making your greetings for the first time."

It's hardly the first time for me.

I've been saying for years people have the right to dislike gays and that gays shouldn't hinge their self-worth on whether they're liked or accepted by everyone. And its not the government's job to make people like them. Discrimination is a totally different topic.

There is a real difference between opinion and action such as what is happening at some colleges targeting Jews.

Liberals have been trying the last several years to social engineer society (especially kids) to their ideology.

Ever since COVID, when parents got the chance to first hand see what kids are being taught in public school, the attempt to social engineer children has become a flashpoint for parents being told they don't have the right to have any say what is being taught.

Seems to me its more like you making a greeting for the first time.

Laura,

Are you saying you believe it's ok for the college to defend the right to be antisemitic, but you're not antisemitic yourself?

That's how I interpreted it.

Really you're correct that people are free to like or dislike who they please.

The problem is protesters take their hatred for Jews to the street and colleges are permitting it by keeping quiet about it.

Laura,

"I'm ok with them having the right to be that way even though I hold opposite views on the subject matter at hand"

I'm not real clear exactly who "them" is and what views.

Would you reiterate your statement exactly what views held by who?

Laura,

Back to the international students thing, I don't agree with Trump doing this. Sort of punishing the wrong people.

But I do see why he's doing it. He's taking an action to make a point about the continual support of anti-Semitism that has existed at Harvard and other colleges for a very long time.

Not exactly fair but Trump didn't ask my opinion.

Laura,

What does this have to do with Trump?

Systemic anti-Semitism has been festering at liberal universities for many, many years.

Now they've just rebranded it as "pro-Palestinian" activism to justify open Jew-hatred.

Are you ok with anti-Semitism?

Is there anything Trump can do you would ever agree with? Anything at all??

Does Harvard's prestige excuse Jew hatred?

They've hidden behind "research" for years. Now they're being exposed.

About time.

Corky,

I never denied what Trump said, as you're accusing me.

We're finished.

Corky,

Corky prevaricates poorly. It's not pretty.

Corky,

"Andrew Taake received a six-year sentence for assaulting officers on Jan. 6. He was arrested Thursday on an outstanding charge of soliciting a minor."

Presidential pardons do not extend to state charges.

Corky,

That link was a hoot.

It was funny.

Alex,

Fair point. I later caught that myself.

I was specifically referring to crimes of a sexual nature, not all violent crimes.

That is the context of the other things I mentioned.

Thanks for the correction.

Alex,

The individuals were pardoned for their actions related to January 6.

Their prior convictions for sex crimes were part of their criminal past.

Therefore, Trump did not pardon individuals specifically for sex crimes.

Corky,

Was Hoover pardoned?

No..he wasn't.

Corky,

Show me a single example of Trump pardoning someone convicted of rape, sex trafficking, or any violent sex crime.

Zed,

"There is every chance that Donald pardons Diddy."

Trump's handed out plenty of pardons, but none have gone to anyone convicted of rape, sex trafficking, or violent crimes.

A pardon for Diddy would be like tossing a live grenade into the GOP.

Sure, Trump's past pardons will be talked about, but they won't sway the next election.

This one would.

Honestly, the odds of Diddy getting a pardon are about the same as Kanye being named Secretary of State.

Vis,

#114...yikes

I thought you were joking but I looked and a former secret service did actually claim Joe Biden had gotten lost in his own closet.

Corky,

I'm not going to say it again....apparently you don't understand English goodly.

I am talking about Diddy since that was what was Trump was asked about today.

Yes...some others are creating all sorts of controversary again...for your benefit since you seem to skip sentences.

I am talking about Diddy.

I'm done with your dumb ass.

Snoofy,

"Mental vs physical bro."

Oh yeah...you can really see the mental acuity in that vacant stare and the way he wanders the stage like a Roomba looking for a charger.

Laura,

"ROFLMMFAO HEHEHEHEHE THAT'S HILARIOUS BILLJOHNSON GIGGLES."

Which institute of higher learning taught you that debate technique?

Corky,

Sure, some of Trump's pardons and commutations have stirred up controversy but I'm talking about Diddy, sex trafficking and God knows what else he'll end up guilty of.

Totally different league.

Don't waste my time bringing up other cases.

Corky,

Oh, uh...

I'm talking about Diddy.

Mod,

"Trump is already further gone than Biden ever was even at his worst."

Really? Biden's aides were literally talking about putting him in a wheelchair and wheeling him out just to show "proof of life."

If you think Trump is anywhere close to that, you're either living on another planet or just not paying attention.

Change where you get your news and start learning something real.

Jpw,

Trump saying he "would certainly look at the facts" is just a move to appease the appetite of the wolves.

It's a deflection.

Jpw,

Come on...try applying a little common sense here.

Pause the Trump Obsessive Compulsive Disorder for just one second.

A Diddy pardon would be a nuclear level disaster for the GOP.
