US Politics Thread

[Dax777]

The Supreme Court settles law. If you’re being cheeky that’s fair enough.

Technically he is right. The 3 arms of government are the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches.

But the Judicial Branch is apolitical. In that it isn't elected by the people.

When you said "we have him thr 3 Branches" it's clear you meant the 3 separate parts of the Fed Government that are elected by the people. I.e. the Presidency, Senate and House of Rep.

But hey, this is the political thread. Everything bis politicized and challenged. Enjoy it. :)

I bet most of the nu jobs celebrating the change in Rowe v Wade were - ironically - those who when presented with a mask mandate screamed "my body my choice"

The venn diagram between the two would be a circle

They will also all be against universal healthcare, increasing funding for education, gun laws...you know, anything that matters once a child is actually born

@tolmie's hairdoo hey mate not an American, and not overly religious, and I have no care for Pence.

However, painting a generalized stroke for all religious folks as fucktards is not ok.

Having started as a leftist in my
Younger years I find myself drifting more centre Right.

Gone are the days where both sides could meet in the middle and there is no Centre anymore. Which leaves a huge block of voters high and dry and you have to
Make these days a call for the nut jobs on the left or the nutters on the right.

De Sanctis I feel is that man for the centre, a man who stands for no nonsense bullshit and speaks common sense is the man if I was an American would vote for.

The man literally called the bullshit around Lea Thomas the Trans swimmer and when the female swimmers felt no one was backing them and were scared to speak up. So glad FINA finally came to its senses and won’t allow trans to compete with females.

You cannot change biology of 20+ years and testosterone with couple years of hormone blockers.


And finally De Sanctis Florida bill of No primary school and kindergarten teachers allowed to talk about sex and Straight Gay or Trans up to the age of 7 if I recall is bloody common sense.

I as a parent of two don’t want my kids in kindergarten being talked and influenced about sex. They are too young to comprehend and understand and process that stuff.


It’s with topics like this I hope he brings the country together. This for me is a man that speaks common sense. And doesn’t acknowledge the bullshit that is going on in that country.

So in summary for me he ain’t a GIMP.

This is where I stand too.

I too was on the left as a young man. I find myself comfortably Center Right these days.

Unless things change drastically on multiple fronts, Im definitely voting for DeSantis in 2 years.




I've already said it, barring any new future changes, Ron Desantis will get my vote.

ZERO self awareness, and neither do any of those c*nts sat there listening to her.

Well.....

This could be interesting.

SCOTUS has ruled 6-3 that a teacher (public servant) has First Amendment rights to pray in a public place.

The dissent notes it overrides previous consistent protection of the students from teacher/peer pressure.

I'm waiting for the first anti-gay prayer session to break out.

Supreme Court rules for former coach in public school prayer case

Former coach Joseph Kennedy argued that the Bremerton School District in Washington state violated his religious freedom by telling him he couldn’t pray on the field after games.

The irony here is that those who praise this decision are likely to be the same who castigated Colin Kapernick for kneeling in protest during the national anthem.

I actually have no problem with him doing this wherever and whenever -- on his own, even at the 50 yard-line after games. Once the student-athletes were "invited" to do likewise by him, as the facts of the case are quite clear about, that's where the line is crossed for the reasons Sotomayor states succinctly in her dissent.

Trans topic is not a big issue in my life

Sure it isn't. That's why you've brought the word up seven times in two posts, and very little else of substance.

It will be a fairly tough day for you if one of your kindergartners comes home at age 13 or so and says, "Hey, I think I'm trans."

I can assure you many, many on the left who have had that happen to them in the last few years have struggled mightily with it, and agonized over it. The burden is immense. Young people think VERY differently about gender identity than we old folks do, in ways we would never think.

Anyhow, I can't imagine what someone with a predilection to think that DeSantis (whose name I can spell properly in one go) is "center right" -- let alone to vote for him -- would do if that happened.

I can't fucking believe this

So, if a woman is having twins, both foetuses need guns to protect themselves against a bad foetus.

Is that right?
