We all know that they are doing this. It is a weaponized agency, persecuting/bullying/harassing the man the left are terrified of running against in 2024 to stop him from being able to run, while simultaneously running cover for biden. Just surprised to see a credible insider state the facts out loud like this.

 

 A 2nd Trump term is necessary to restore justice and the public's faith in the DOJ to start acting impartially to stop all crime - not just crime by conservatives.

Yes, sir, it is weaponized, it is armed with the constitution and the law.

If you click my provided link you will see quotes from this book. It is absolutely VILE and disgusting, way beyond merely sexually explicit. 

So, you find ONE example from ONE school that has a questionable book.  From that brush, all LGBTQ people are getting tarred.

Please get over your hysteria.  There is reallly little to compare between concentration camps and restricting childrens' access to sexually explicit materials. Don't let your ideology blind you to reality.

 

What part of your description of 1930s Germany is happening today in Florida? 

Well, let's start with your hysteria.  Nobody is exposing children's to sexually explicit material.  There are laws about sexually explicit material on the books, and it's enforced.  Nobody is interested in your children from the LGBTQ community.  Drag Queens are entertainers, they are paid to entertain.  There is no evidence of grooming.   

Do you think there were no precursors to the Nazi book burning?   Do you think this was the first action against gays (and others)?  First, they outlawed homosexuality, later they broadened the definition to make it easier to prosecute and increased punishments 

Some of what they did can be found here:   https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/paragraph-175-and-the-nazi-campaign-against-homosexuality

But this is about it being a 'scary time'.   It's clear that the anti-LGBTQ community is in full swing.  It's a little harder in the US to muster up the hate, but it will get there.  Florida has the 'Don't Say Gay" laws but far right-wingers were able to export their hate to Uganda which now has the "Kill the Gays" law.   Do you see where this is going?  Do you see the similarities?

Hyperbole much? The topic is Florida, not Germany. However, it is nice of you to invite Mike Godwin to the conversation.  Yes, Florida is so dangerous that nearly a MILLION LGBT plus people choose to make it their home. Similarly, it is such a terrible place for black Americans that the chairman of the NAACP has chosen to live there as well.

 

Enough. 

The typical discounting and minimizing of a factual statement.   What has happened in the past with devastating and deadly consequences is happening again.   I see you are keeping track of the numbers and where the targeted victims are living.  It makes any final solution much quicker.

On the issue of culture wars, the far right is following the Nazi playbook.  Did you know the book burning started May 6, 1933 with the burning of books by Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld's books?   Those books:

Its library and archives of around 20,000 books and journals were publicly hauled out and burned in the street. Its collection included unique works on intersexuality, homosexuality, and transgender topics.^{[7][8][9][10]} It's assumed that Dora Richter, the first transgender woman known to have undergone sex reassignment surgery (by doctors at the institute), may have been killed during the attack.^[11][10]

And just to be clear, they did 'come after them' and yes they did put them in concentration camps, and they did kill them.  They killed thousands of them.  What's more, they erased them entirely from society.   

"Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it", comes to mind on this issue.

Has anyone else noticed that when it comes to any discussion about Trump's misdeeds, the basic argument is ignored?  In this case, the documents in question, were not his.  He has stolen, illegally taken, or whatever you want to call the original 'crime.'  He had no right to take the documents, and everything thereafter is criminal.

Rightfully so imop

 

Honest political fodder?  Really?  What office is Hunter Biden running for?   

No doubt this is because of all the vaccinations he's received. ????

Even for this Supreme Court, this would be too egregious. It is not a matter of interpretation as many other issues are (e.g. abortion, guns).

 

This is crystal clear.

 

BTW I do agree that in this day and age of air travel it does not make much sense to give automatic citizenship based on birth without any other criteria e.g. at least a minimum period of physical residency by the mother before delivery. The Constitution dates back to an earlier time.  But  it is not  a huge problem and hardly worth the complex process of Constitutional Amendment.

 

I completely agree.  He's just a person who has no respect for the Constitution.

Why is it the left always wants to get personal? Where was the hysteria in my post. I simply reported info the OP neglected.

 

Me, personally I think it's criminal which is why these birther hotels were being rousted.

Why is it that the right-wingers always want to take a non-problem and make it a problem?  How many Chinese birthers do you think there are?  

Please note from your source:   The suspected operators have not been charged but are being questioned.

Also note:  None of the women were arrested

And finally, this is a 5-year-old article.   I wonder who was President?

NBC News was on the scene as Homeland Security agents swept into The Carlyle, a luxury property in Irvine, California, which housed pregnant women and new moms who allegedly forked over $40,000 to $80,000 to give birth in the United States.

And people who can afford $80,000 to give birth in the US are probably a good bet for having the means to immigrate to the US if they want.   Like a lot of the HK Chinese who migrated overseas, they wanted a 2nd passport as an insurance policy.   Many returned once they secured either US or Canadian citizenship.  Canadian citizenship is more desirable because the US requires overseas income to be taxed if you are a citizen.   

Try not get too hysterical.
