Well, the gun that was designed to kill as many people as possible in a short period of time has once again shown to be very successful in living up to its designer's goal.

Keeping their children safe.  I'm sure most parents worry more about school shootings than drag queens.

Yeah, but, but, but they can do something about drag queens.  They can't do anything about school shootings (sarcasm emoticon needed).

These restrictions should have been removed, simply because they were enacted based on a lie.  The election was not stolen and there was no major voter fraud.  

An unnecessary procedure.  In ancient times, it was used to mark someone as a slave.  Now, I guess they are a slave to their religion.

"attacking immigrants" !!?? Enforcing immigration law is not "attacking immigrants". And let's remind ourselves the left are in uproar against DeSantis for his Herculean efforts to protect vulnerable schoolchildren from predators that want to sexualize them. A worthy cause if ever there was one.

So, sending immigrants from Texas to New York is enforcing what law and benefits Floridians how?  Drag Queens do not sexualize children.  They are entertainers, and at no point has anyone shown any evidence of grooming.  He is protecting nothing but a false narrative.

Disney just went too far out in left field, stick to what Disney does best showing all of us a great time! Good on you DeSantis if the CEO doesn't like it there, they could always pack-up and move to a blue state.

No, it is DeSantis that has gone too far.  Disney has not stopped showing all of us a great time.  DeSantis, however, has been vindictive, seeking retribution because they have outsmarted him at every turn.  It seems that harassing Florida's largest single employer is pretty anti-business.   

... Oh, I forgot to mention guns.  That's another endless mantra from the right.

Republicans dont hate any of those things. They just want them seen in perspective.  No reason for them to have such a spotlight when other, more important issues go wanting attention in the media. Drag queens can do their thing (just not around children), trans people deserve respect and treatment (but not unquestioning belief in their delusions), gay marriage is settled law. 

 

As for policies? Energy independence, America first foreign policy, fight crime, fight homelessness, control immigration and secure the border,  reign in government spending, recognize China as the biggest threat to world peace....

Drag Queens have no particular interest in children.  They are paid entertainers.  Denigrating them, discriminating against them and targeting them is a perversion.  Trans people do deserve respect and treatment, another thing the Republican Party is making a big effort to see doesn't happen.  They have targeted them for discrimination, probably amounting to persecution.  Gay marriage is settled law?  Well, not according to right-wing judge, Clarence Thomas who wrote a dissenting opinion in the landmark case of Obergefell v. Hodges in 2015.  He has also signaled he wants SCOTUS to revisit the issue along with contraceptive.   These are all policies that have a positive effect on no one and are harmful to many.  They have no positive effect on anyone.   The party of 'freedom' seems to think freedom is just for me and not for thee.  

On the issue of energy independence, nearly all the evidence points to the fact that the climate is changing and it is man-made.  It's also pretty well known that most of the easily extracted oil is limited, and sources are getting into harder to extract areas.  Coal isn't particularly feasible because of the extensive amounts of pollutants.  Oil in particular is very political, and we too often find ourselves playing with the devil.  Sunshine and wind are free, we just need to harness them.  

After Obama left office, we had 4 years of having anything, even the mention of Climate Change, erased from every government website.  Trump touted oil and greatly discouraged renewables.  

I have yet to hear any policy on anything other than the denigration of gays, trans people and drag queens.  I have no idea what the Republican energy policy is.  I assume return to backing Big Oil, and probably giving Ukraine to Russia to achieve it.   

I have heard nothing about the economic policies, except to cut medicare and health care and stop Biden from paying bills already incurred.   All I hear is drag queens, drag queens, drag queens, trans, trans, trans and other nonsense.   

I've never been a big Biden fan, but I certainly have nothing against him.  I just find him to be a rather uninteresting speaker.  That said, I am very pleased with his performance as President.  He is very knowledgeable of government and how it works.  He gets things done.  He's a great manager and that's what the country needs.   

On the Republican side, I don't know who could beat him.  It's a party without a platform -- except to hate drag queens, trans people, gay marriage.  The only thing they seem to be for is guns.  Unless, they come up with someone who actually has policies that people can get behind, they won't win.  Trump and DeSantis are both pathetic.  He can't even take on Disney and win.

Now let’s make sure their orange hero is convicted and jailed as well

And have the Proud Boys testify against him at his trial!!

And please keep her in jail for 10 years.  Then when it's close to her release date, charge her with smuggling gold into the country and re-sentence her.  The US has enough gun nuts.  Your help will be much appreciated.   

I'd say that nails it.  Trump has a rally a mile from the Capitol on the day of certification, he riles up the crowd, tells them to march and they did.  That said, they are still guilty as sin.

I wonder if Tucker and Don Lemon might form their own Media news. Now that would be some unbiased news.

I don't have a big problem with bias.  Bias is easy to spot and easy to deal with.  Lying and giving false information is a whole different creature.

Link required.

I never saw such and I watched a lot of Fox when I was in Chiang Mai.

You want a link?  Have you been living under a rock?  You say you watched him and still don't know that much of what he does on air is a conspiracy.  Well, let's start with the most obvious one -- the election was rigged and Trump really won.  He didn't.  Zero evidence of massive fraud.  It also landed the entire network in Court. 

Second, he said the January 6 insurrection was not orchestrated by Trump, but by his foes to make him look bad.   

That's just for starters.

Tucker is a horrible person.  He made racism OK and brought it along with numerous conspiracies into the homes of millions of viewers.  Many of those people weren't haters, but a steady diet of hate got them there.  

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are, without a doubt, the most interesting, colorful and honorable members of the Royal Family.  Without them, the entire family is about as interesting as milk toast.  It is a great loss to the family that Meghan won't be there, but being the dutiful mother that she is, and considering the unwillingness of the Crown to provide proper protection for her and the children , she has made the decision to safely stay in the US with her children.

This is your confusion and chaos in the brain. Do you think that information from sources that are banned in Russia and which, according to the Russian authorities, are funded by the Americans, is true. Then I ask you to quote more often information from Russian sources that are prohibited in the United States. But of course you won't. Because for you, the truth is only what the BBC or CNN will write the news. Great logic, congratulations.

There are no Russian sources that are prohibited in the US.  Again, you are posting false information without substantiation.

It's very fun to read foreigners' comments about what Russians think and want. Maybe for a start ask the opinion of the Russian people themselves ??
You have been brainwashed by the Americans. What truth do you want to know from their press??

 

The autonomous non-profit organization Yuri Levada Analytical Center received a significant amount of foreign funding from the United States, including from the University of Wisconsin, which is curated by the Pentagon.

 

Meduza's sources of funding, which had been kept secret until that moment, were discovered by a careful study of the publication's financial statements. Among the sponsors of the opposition media were two Western organizations, which at one time were partners of George Soros. One of them also funded a project by Pussy Riot members and Russian LGBT communities. Information about the agreements concluded is contained in the financial statements of the Latvian company Medusa Project SIA for 2017.

So, lets take a closer look at what you are saying.  First, you are saying that the media is tainted by the US.  Yet, you substantiate it with nothing.   You cast aspersions on anything having to do with the US, including George Soros and then the U of W.  

You got all the right wing ideology down pat, it's just the truth that evades you.
