Personally, I have no qualms with pubescents 14 years and older viewing pornography. Their bodies and brain functions are changing. And artificial age laws won't change it. Instead of clutching your pearls, try being a mature adult and sit down with your kids to explain whatever it is you think they need to know about internet porn.

Close your eyes, cover your ears and Keep telling yourself you won't be personally affected.

Well, I certainly have prospered under Bidenomics. I am financially much better off than I was four years ago. Thanks Joe.

This case had to be prosecuted even though, IMO, it had next zero chance of resulting in conviction. You can't just choke man to death publicly on the subway and not face charges. It would be an untenable precedent.

Trump doubling down on Hegseth sounds as much sense as me drawing for an inside straight last weekend. Conceivably possible, but a foolish use of limited resources. A high price to placate MAGAts.

Trump is calling for ceasefire? Who is he pressuring? Putin? Doubtful.

When Europe took over Jerusalem during the Crusades, they lasted 100 years until the arrival of Saladin. I expect Israel to last about that long this time around also.

More and more the Red States become like third world countries. Especially outside of the major cities. If you have any sense of proportion, it is absolutely mind boggling that now now HALF of all Texas counties are not able to provide pre-natal care. If you are a person with the intelligence above an onion, this should be beyond shocking. Think South Sudan, or rural Bolivia.

It seems very possible that Covid was developed in a laboratory. American politics have nothing to do with it. The corroborated circumstantial evidence is highly suggestive of that conclusion. Trump, Fauci, Biden - just disregard them all while trying to logically and scientifically figure out the most likely origin.

Happy thanksgiving! I love each and every one of you. Except for some of you who are complete -----.

I have developed my own theory about why many Americans voted for Trump. It is not about "deplorables". It is about discontent, a sense of personal stagnation amidst the feeling of overwhelming social change. A feeling that as a nation we are collectively undergoing a massive public transition we neither understand nor feel comfortable about. A deep feeling among people that some course change is needed, though none of us agree on what it should be. Really, in the final analysis, a yearning for the old status quo.

There will always be morons and -------- such as kwrx and LHT. But magat outliers and paid trolls are not the explanation for Trump. They are the toxic fringe.

Pakistan has enough problems already. They keep hoping somehow, magically, China will bail them out.

---- it. Biden should just give Ukraine nukes, and cut through all the rest of the --------. If Putin really wants to dance, then start up the music already.

American voters have decided. Like it or not, we now will live with it. Personally, I keep reminding myself that I should not be too affected by Trump's numerous brain-dead policy ideas. Bitter-sweet consolation as I watch my nation about to be flushed down the international drain by right wing morons.

Was Robson's daughter raped by an "illegal criminal". If so, I so sorry to hear it. If not, he is just spouting more MAGAt lies.

I genuinely hope DeSantis appoints her. I have trouble imagining a more polarizing choice. Even David Duke would be more popular.

The VA on the right wing chopping block? LOL. Sounds like Little Nicky, the Grinch and Ebeneezer Scrooge have finally come into their own.

The only way most congresspeople could possibly afford a nice home in D.C. as well as a nice home in their home district is corruption. The only other ways are sharing a flat with room-mates or Daddy's Trust Fund.

I hear Tulsi serviced the embalmed body of Lenin in order to convince Putin of her loyalty.

Reminds me of back when the tobacco companies were spending tens of millions of dollars (when that was a lot of money) fighting restrictions on cigarette smoking. How'd that work out? Point is, if something truly is wrong, sooner or later even the thickest headed MAGAt will understand.

Betraying all your friends and associates for avoiding a few months of prison? Sounds like a great deal... for the DOJ.

And I heard an inside scoop that Orange Puddin' Pie is trying to appoint Bobby Bouchet to head the Counsel of Economic Advisors.

Do it Puddin' Pie! Do it! I dare you. The size of the fist that will go smashing into your new presidency if you try it will knock you out cold.

The only pleasure I get from a thread such as this is reading comments to be posted by stupid MAGAts who have no understanding whatsoever of how badly tariffs hurt American small businesses, while simultaneously deeply enriching the top 0.1%.

I gotta say ... . MAGAts are the least gracious "winners" I have ever witnessed. The only analogy that comes to mind are immature children on an elementary school playground.
