Catamites and the men who are attracted to them didn't disappear with the roman empire. If you ever spent much time on 4chan (and I hope you haven't) then you might know that there's a large portion of conservative incels who love them some femboys and use them for "practice" because they are either uncomfortable around women or because they have not come to terms with their own queerness.

I mean to say that is what Patel's statement indicates to me that he desires.

This is Patel telling accusers they are not credible. Patel wants to see them kill themselves like Virginia Giuffre.

#28 - look at that. We agree on something. I will just add that refusal to renew visas must be backed by a consistent policy.

For instance, the administration must not be allowed to reject renewal applications for anyone who expresses opinions of Kirk's death that the administration doesn't agree with but approve applications for those who express similar sentiment in regards to Melissa Hortman's death.

This administration has not shown me they can be trusted to act in such a non-partisan manner.

Where do you draw a line at VISA revocation? I'm not trying to argue. I'm curious.

You answer my question with a question? I figured my question would be super simple for anyone who is as a big proponent of the first amendment as you've claimed to be.
Here's my answer to your question. The government may restrict the issuance of a visa based on speech but does not have the authority to revoke them based on speech once the person is within our borders. The first amendment is not limited to citizens and I'll refer you to Justice Francis Murphey's concurring opinion in Bridges v. Wixon.

Fox News has the solution, involuntary lethal injection.

Cool story. Tell us what you think about this new wave of government censorship from the Trump administration.

I don't know who you are addressing with those homophobic insults are inexcusable.

"Social media companies correcting false statements on a deadly pandemic is a violation of the first amendment" - MAGATS
"We must censor anyone who posts actual quotes from Charlie Kirk in a context that might make me think he's not Jesus" - Also MAGATS

you must have an extremely small mind if you find evidence of our history of slavery as "corrosive ideology"

A lot of people don't realize this but Robert Redford could have been an MLB hall of famer had he not been shot. He had that much talent. Some people even called him a natural at the game. I saw a documentary that explains it all.

This is murder. There is no legal justification for it. Trump should be impeached for this.

what alternative strategy or campaign promise did the Democrats make in contrast?
" if you vote for Trump, you'll lose your workers. But if you vote for me, you'll get to keep them and have more of them."
Anything like that?
While you're thinking through that, ponder this question as well ... .. are any Democrats gonna campaign to farmers and tell them they will return the workers to them?
Is anyone gonna actually make that the issue?

There's this thing called the internet and the internet has things called websites. These consist of webpages that contain information. There are these other things called search engines and you can use those search for specific information stored in these webpages. If you were were to search for something like "Kamala Harris Farm Plans" then you would find the Farm Bureau site which has a great side by side comparison of those campaign promises. Kamala gives a someone details answer on the issue of farm labor where she explains to farmers how she will protect their labor and would continue to grow the number of legal agricultural labor workers that would available to hire. Trump's plan is basically America, ---- yeah. If you were a US farmer in 2024 and read the two plans then you should be smart enough to know that about 60% of your labor requirements are met by immigrants, either legal or otherwise. If you still voted for Trump then you really have no reason to be surprised that he has now made it very difficult for you to hire immigrant labor because he told you that is what he was going to do. The part he hasn't delivered on is the part that you should also know he wouldn't be able to deliver on and that is suddenly creating a sufficiently sized pool of US born agricultural workers to take the place of the people he deports.

However, anyone trying to say his comment is representative of Foxnews is throwing straw.

You keep saying that but you don't bother to explain why Fox left him on the air or why they let him go back on the very next day. Fox has taken no action that would indicate what he said is not representee of their company.

If someone were to put a bumper stick on your car that says "Murder The Homeless" would you remove it as soon as you noticed it or just leave it there and let people think that is what you believe?

Your defense of the comment is disgusting.
You make it sound like it was said by some rando in a man on the street interview.

This wasn't a guest on the show. It was a host who is paid by Fox to represent the network. It was also his cohosts who both gave verbal affirmation of his idea. There's a back room of people at Fox whose jobs are to monitor the content. Those decision makers allows the show to continue when they could have pulled him off the air much like they did when Rebekah Koffler appeared to be drunk when they had her on as a guest analyst a couple months ago. They could have cut to commercial and issued an apology after the break.

I wonder what your reaction would be if NYTimes editorial staff ran an opinion piece calling for the death of all gay people who refuse to undergo conversion therapy.

I heard on the news earlier he apologized.
#41 | Posted by eberly

He did apologize but and as part of his apology he also said "I am obviously aware that not all mentally ill, homeless people act as the perpetrator did in North Carolina and that so many homeless people deserve our empathy and compassion."

It's not obvious to me that he believes homeless people deserve our empathy and compassion since he was calling for their imprisonment and execution the day prior.
Sounds to me like he was ordered by his superiors to apology or take a hike when the only option he should have been given was walk out of the building on your own or have security drag you out.

Nope...at no point did I mention killing.
#40 | Posted by BillJohnson

Another deflection. I didn't say that you made such a claim. The people at Fox & Friends did make such a claim.
Do you agree with Fox & Friends that we should execute the chronically homeless in our country for no other reason than they exist?

It's cruel to stand by and do nothing. If they can't make sound decisions for themselves, then society needs to make that decision for them.
#30 | Posted by BillJohnson

Your comment is nothing but a deflection.
I'll ask you directly, should we execute the chronically homeless in our country for no other reason than they exist?

Fox & Friends thinks you should just hit them with a dose of pentobarbital

The articles I see on this have all understandably focused on Kilmeade but his statement is really just a one part of the problem. His statement was a follow on to that from one of his cohosts who suggested we should imprison the homeless and mentally ill for simply existing. Kilmeade then made his comment and both of his cohosts appeared to agree with him. Neither appeared to have thought his statement went way too far. That they weren't immediately pulled off the air and an apology issued by the network is all anyone should need to know about the extremism that is systemic at Fox News.

#3 I think it would be more exciting if they find that Mars had completely unique biochemistry from earth.

Fine. Let's put a pin in it.
If the economy is worse by the end of the year then the media should savage Lutnick and Trump on it. Don't let them move the goalposts or deflect.

Fox News: the left is radicalizing people
also Fox News: death to the homeless!

We know that Donald Trump regularly watches this show so don't be surprised even he starts calling for killing the homeless.

sorry...I mistyped Kilmeade's quote. He said "involuntary lethal injection" as if there is such a thing as voluntary lethal injection in the US.
