  1. Racists don't get to change the dictionary. Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) meaning "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination". "Alert". Not brain dead moronic misuse of words intended to hurl invective.
  2. Let's start at the beginning. Woke means understanding racial inequality. Emphasis on understanding.
  3. Apparently some fools don't know that the right wing can edit wiki too.
  4. Well there's a huge 1 in a million case of electoral fraud being tried in the courts right now.
  5. This is absolutely hilarious, especially the rant against woke under "changing the meaning of words". LOL
  6. What a joke source that is. The America First Policies Institute (AFPI) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3)[4] think tank that was founded in 2021 to promote former U.S. President Donald Trump's public policy agenda. According to Politico, the group is often described as a "White House in waiting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America_First_Policy_Institute
  7. And I appreciate that, because that means he sees what we’re seeing, but in his commercials and in his temper tantrums, every single thing that he’s said has been a lie.'" Haley went on to attack Trump for his handling of the economy, saying that job conditions might have been "great," but that “our kids will never forgive us” for the $8 trillion added to the national debt under Trump to help continue that growth. “You don’t go and pretend to have a good economy by putting us in debt.” https://www.rawstory.com/nikki-haley-stands-up-to-trump/
  8. It does some, predominantly perpetrated by right wing voters.
  9. All the court decisions removed any rational doubt. They have a problem.
  10. I have had a decades long history of high blood pressure and high cholesterol. My understanding is that any insurance I get might be good for accidents.
  11. FWIW I've never been asked for ID to vote in my country. We don't have a voter fraud problem.
  12. Nor can you or anybody else on the planet. Each individual is different and sex may be indeterminant for anybody other than the wishes of the person. Many people have a mix of genetic traits that either predominantly make them one sex or the other but many don't and those traits don't need to be entirely physical. Most people carry genetic defects of one kind of another. Consider the number of gay people in the world for a start. Then there's sam smith and other cisgenders but don't let your "fixed beliefs" give way to science. This is precisely the reason she didn't rise to the baiting question designed to throw red meat to the base
  13. You either want laws against hate speech or you want the first amendment, which is it? https://www.politico.com/news/2024/01/02/harvard-claudine-gay-resign-00133459 I would rather laws against hate speech such as my country enjoys.
  14. Well, Justice Clarence Thomas is all sad because criminals will find it difficult to function in society. Thomas claimed Davis “may have been one of the first victims of this Court’s cavalier treatment of religion in its Obergefell decision, but she will not be the last.” “Due to Obergefell, those with sincerely held religious beliefs concerning marriage will find it increasingly difficult to participate in society without running afoul of Obergefelland its effect on other antidiscrimination laws,” Thomas wrote in 2020, five years after the decision, which did not produce the effect he claimed. https://www.rawstory.com/kim-davis-ordered-to-pay-over-260000-after-denying-same-couple-marriage-license-2666854399/
  15. Here's an example now. This is a direct result of Trump calling out the CO SC and Sec of State. Time for somebody to go to jail methinks. Gunman arrested after opening fire in Colorado supreme court, which disqualified Trump from ballot - report Police have arrested a man who broke into the Colorado supreme court building and opened fire early this morning, CNN reports. The assailant took an unarmed security guard hostage after shooting out a window and entering the building in downtown Denver, but the Colorado state patrol said no injuries resulted from the incident. In late December, the court had in a 4-3 ruling disqualified Donald Trump from the state’s ballot for his involvement in the January 6 insurrection. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2024/jan/02/trump-january-6-charges-immunity-trials-republican-polling-latest edit: Police believe that the incident is not related to threats made by Trump.
  16. A New Mexico judge ordered Otero County Commissioner Couy Griffin be removed from office, effective immediately, ruling that the attack on the Capitol was an insurrection and that Griffin’s participation in it disqualified him under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. This decision marks the first time since 1869 that a court has disqualified a public official under Section 3, and the first time that any court has ruled the events of January 6, 2021 an insurrection. “The Court’s findings that Mr. Griffin engaged in repeated efforts to mobilize a mob and incite them to violence on January 6, 2021 amply support the Court’s conclusion that he is unqualified under the Fourteenth Amendment to hold public office,” said Daniel Small of Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC. https://www.citizensforethics.org/news/press-releases/judge-removes-couy-griffin-from-office-for-engaging-in-the-january-6-insurrection/
  17. You are right but the FBI considers the threat from right wing domestic terrorists to be greater.
  18. Was it Biden supporters who crashed those planes or are you way off topic?
