Serious trouble brewing. Websites allied to Maga and other right wing causes are now calling for violence against the judge, the DA and the jury. One site has published what it thinks is the DA’s address and another the addresses purportedly of some jurors. This endangers not just those involved but completely other people whose addresses have been erroneously published.
And what are Maga politicians doing? So far, nothing. The one Republican who spoke against this has been removed as the candidate.
Republican politicians need to speak out en masse to stop this.
Incidently, it raises the chances of Trump being immediately incarcerated as a dangerous person irrespective of any appeal.
This is madness.

Arrest them all and throw them over that wall he built.

Jon Stewart nailing the whole cancel culture thing



Those on the right are quick to call anyone who disagrees with any of their views a lefty loony for merely pointing out any flaw in their logic of beliefs. Then walk away when they know deep down they are talking nonsense. Snowflakes the lot of them. Why be right or left, just try not be a **** to anyone else, no matter what they are. Though I think that’s what “woke” actually is.

I miss having the Daily Show on Channel 4.

It's following the same path. Moving from taboo/illegal to a medical condition, then a lifestyle choice and ultimately social acceptability.
Paedophilia is now edging towards the same route. Personally I'm hoping bestiality is next.

Didn't paedophiles invent "paedophilia" to give it an air of lifestyle choice? The "Paedophile Information Exchange"? That went well.
 
Interesting data from Morning Consult poll:

Trump Polls: Some Independents, Republicans May Shift After Guilty Verdict

More than half of respondents in a Morning Consult survey said they “strongly” or “somewhat” approve of former President Donald Trump’s guilty verdict in his criminal hush money case.

I never heard of Morning Consult before. So I looked them up:

Morning Consult - Bias and Credibility

LEFT-CENTER BIAS These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording
mediabiasfactcheck.com mediabiasfactcheck.com

It's one poll, months before the election and MAGA propaganda probably hasn't had enough time to sway some of the voters who may change their minds...

Still... it's interesting and hopeful news.
 
Remember about 15% of registered Republicans voted against Trump in the primaries. At least half of them will not vote for him in the election. If they vote against him in the swing states, he is lost.

There shouldn't be a law forcing someone to call a man a woman or a he a she, it's rude expecting people to observe what is a fantasy based on someone's mental health.

If you want to do it Bob then crack on, it doesn't mean that your acquiescence is the norm.

In fact, acquiescence/"a requirement" has been the norm for about 5,000 years. Unless you think humans operate under the rule that anyone should be able to call anyone else what ever the caller wants to their face. So I can call, for example, any one of a different race whatever I like, name-wise. Or the king "DIckface." Or your mom "Shitbitch."

It's really not that complicated. I have never understood the kerfuffle. In my view, those who argue this point are the ones with a mental health problem. There's no "law" because only the deranged would do, or make a habit of doing, otherwise, IMO.

You call people the name they ask you to. You have done your whole life. Period. End of discussion. And you're respectful until Mr. Jones tells you it's okay to call him Henry.

Good for you, when they make a law ordering people to use a myriad of pronouns that make no sense only to pander to mentally ill people then I will refuse to oblige.

For 5000 years as you put it there has been 2 genders, choose one and stick with it you're not being clever modern or edgy you're being stupid.
 


I worry about anyone who votes for this man thinking he actually makes a single decision

It’s missing; if you look in the mirror you might find it.

Didn’t this happen 2 months ago?

And no one gave a shit because it was completely true that he went down on an island in Papua New Guinea and the body wasn’t recovered and everyone realised the cannibalism bit was either a joke or a little harmless exaggeration on an old family story.
