Also curious, if the "non-guardians of feminism" can also tell us, "what a man is?"

Maybe he just doesn't want to go to those universities and is waiting for UCLA or USC students to love his jokes again.
BTW, I don't know anyone who votes for or supports the Democratic Party rather than the Republican Party in order to be "loved" by anyone or who gives a shit who hates them.
I do it because I much prefer Great Dem Recoveries, Economic Expansions and Historic Jobs Creation over Great Repub Depressions, Great Repub Recessions and Massive Jobs Destruction. The former is much better for the cash flow from the tenants in my California rental property than the latter. I really don't give a shit whether or not a healthy rental market income for my business makes anyone of any race or sexual identity love me.
Instead of this imaginary "wokism" bothering me, the cultural issue I am more bothered by are the Repub Governors' actual legislation and moves to remove, ban, monitor or burn books that make their idiotic Repub base feel uncomfortable unless they assert that "There were very fine people on both sides of The Holocaust" or "There were very fine people on both sides of a lynching" and so on.
Because that actually uses law to promote stupidity. And stupidity is generally not good for a national economy or job markets that support my rent rates.

Which does add historical background credence to the Pink Tinkle push to now make Donald J. Trump their most beloved Republican Speaker of the House.

I cannot believe how many of these "accomplishments" were either taking money from citizens and spending it on worthless crap or printing up money and spending it on crap and then I found one (Hurray!) where Biden actually saved the taxpayer's money: Gave Medicare the power to negotiate prescription drug prices through the Inflation Reduction Act while also reducing government health spending. You have shown me one good thing Biden has done Spidey! Congrats!
Of course, Biden said that increased government spending does not lead to inflation. Bidenomics is supply and demand does not exist. This reminds me of the old Soviet joke where a communist leader was told that he couldn't land a space ship on the sun because it was too hot and said "No problem, we will just land the space ship at night. ".
I have been waiting for this train wreck to hit. I knew it was coming with George W when shit got so expensive in the third world that things had to break. The real estate craze was world wide, and I remember going to Paraguay (fucking Paraguay!) and seeing a decent home costing $250 k, and the average salary there was $4 k. That is what a bubble central banks blew with real estate.
And we are here again. The stock market, which I thought had been good, is actually down outside of seven huge tech stocks. Interest rates are through the roof, and home prices once again are fucking nuts. The only thing left is the timing. Are the interest rates / inflation going to cause the recession prior to the election?
This country still has not paid the bill for the stupidity that was Covid, and you and fellow Democratic douches can keep lying about it ("There were no lockdowns, vaccine mandates, or mask mandates") but lying about it and censoring people who catch you lying about it is not going to make that debt go away. We are due for another great recession. We have to have one to get inflation under control just like was the case in 2008-2009.

Years ago, the Christians had moral authority, but now the pendulum has swung the other way and it's the left who wield moral authority in America. They brow-beat and proselytize the virtues of victimhood Olympics, and blaming the straight white man for everything.
Funny thing is, the guardians of feminism can't even tell you what a "woman" is. I highly recommend watching "what is a woman? A documentary by Matt Walsh. He talks to a lot of woke folk (who EihTooms doesn't believe exist). It's hilarious how almost all left wingers are afraid to answer that question. And the ones who do answer, say dumb things like: "a woman is whatever someone thinks a woman is". Or "I'm not an expert! I don't know! And these fucking people vote! Holy shit!
We truly do live in a ClownWorld.
Anyway, I don't understand why a straight white man would support a group that fucking hates him, but then again, Epstein was a straight white man, what party did he support? I guess I'm starting to understand some of you.

This is yet another prime example of their inept ability to govern, largely because they have no governing philosophy, ethnics and morale compass or lack there of.
How can we expect Americans, in good conscience, to give the Repubs power, when this is the type of disjointed, dysfunctional, chaotic mess they create, time and time again?

And while energy prices are currently manageable for Americans, I don't doubt for a minute, that the authoritarian, fascist dictators and tyrants from oil states like Russia and Saudi Arabia, are
chomping-at-the-bit and most certainly are going to be jacking-up oil and gas prices, in the coming months, to try and tank/panic the economy. Of course with the goal of trying to make Biden look bad and thereby helping Trump, who naturally, they would rather see back in office.
With House Republicans (and Senate to a lesser degree) in disarray and in-fighting, holding the US economy hostage, threats of a imminent government shutdown, bogus impeachment hearings, blocking military appointments (which is harmful to US security and plays into the hands of Russia, China, N.Korea), blocking student repayment loans...etc, it seems to me despite a very dysfunctional GOP, it is Biden and the Dems, that have been holding this country together since he took office.

Posts: 5454It must be nice to be a Deadbeat Do Nothing Know Nothing Pink Tinkle Repub
LOL. Once again, after Joe Biden and the Dems shouldered all the heavy lifting and assumed all the political risk to completely turn around and recover America (and much of the world) from the horrific downturn result of typically disastrous Trump / Repub economic and national security policies and stewardship, in comes the Deadbeat Do Nothing Know Nothing Pink Tinkle Repubs who sat on their butts and did absolutely nothing productive or of value to America for the past 9 months, only to perform one ridiculous Repub Clown Show after another in hopes that their doing so will somehow still achieve the Repub Party dream of destroying the USA economy and weaken our national security and defence.
Fox News' The Five melts down over Rep. Gaetz's successful removal of Rep. McCarthy as speaker of the House.
Jeanine Pirro: What weve got is total chaos

I'm with Trump on this. I mean, we're talking about this instead of the border, instead of crime, instead of inflation.
And then someone must unavoidably point out that homicides and violent crime rates, including those in the Red States with the highest homicide and violent crime rates in the country, have been declining since Biden took office after the upward trajectory increase in both on Trump's watch.
And then someone must unavoidably point out that Trump's Pandemic's worldwide economic and supply-chain destruction inevitable recovery inflation has been in sharp and steady decline since Bidenomics was put in place to achieve that goal.
And that, contrary to what classic and iconic Repub Party Leader Trump and his beloved fellow America-haters Putin, Xi and Kim wished and worked for, democracy is far more stable and stronger in America and abroad since Biden defeated Trump.
And that even typically terrified by everything including their own shadow investors in the forward looking stock market can't help but notice Bidenomics bodes very well for America's domestic and Global Economic future.
Among other positives for America that Joe Biden and the Dems had already put into the system long before the Pink Tinkle gerrymandered and creatively redrew itself a handful of Repub districts so they could further impress typically pro Repub Mainstream Media into the astonishingly idiotic election season campaign pitch and assurance that "most people think Republicans are better at handling the economy than Democrats. " Lolololol.

I digress though, I still can't fathom why some of you shill for the woke, feminist, infinity-gender crowd so hard. If they had it their way, they would send us all to the slammer for "using our financial advantage to exploit impoverished women! And you KNOW IT!
They especially despise white men. Why a straight white man (who is employed) would argue in favor of these freaks is beyond me.
They don't even TRY to hide their hatred of you, I swear some of you sound like battered wives the way you just take the constant abuse.
You're NEVER going to be "one of them"(why the fuck would you want to anyway? No matter how many times you kneel for BLM, fly the rainbow flag in your yard, express self-hatred for your crimes of being a straight white male, or any of the other virtue signally, victim-Olympics jargon.

This speech did a number of things, but the main objective IMHO, was to strike down the notion that, the US Army would ever stand behind or become loyal to a tyrannical figure head. Especially one that calls for the execution of its generals, like they do in 3rd world dictatorships, despotic and tyrannical regimes.
What he said bears repeating. The Honorable Gen. Mark Milley, profoundly said:
- "We are unique among the world's military..."
"We don't take an oath to a country,"
"We don't take an oath to a tribe,"
"We don't take an oath to a religion,"
"We don't take an oath to a King...Or queen..."
"Or tyrant...Or Dictator,"
"And we don't take an oath to a Wannabe dictator."

New Fux News Spin On Trump Fraud. "victimless crime."
Sure, it's victimless, unless you count every taxpayer in New York City.
https://crooksandliars.com/2023/10/n...aud-victimless
Every taxpayer in New York City is screwed by what Trump did. Every resident of New York City is screwed by what Trump did. And every customer of the banks that lent the money and the insurance companies which insured the properties are victims. Every one.
In case it's not self-evident, here's why. By undervaluing the properties for tax purposes, Trump cheated New York out of tax revenue needed to pay police, fire fighters, repair streets and other city expenses, which means the rest of the taxpayers picked up that tab. By overvaluing the properties for loan and insurance purposes, Trump used more of each bank's share of "lendable assets," so that the next person in line for a loan might have been declined, or had their loan shorted because the banks can't have more than a certain percentage of their assets in loans at any one time. By overvaluing the properties for insurance purposes, every other insured would have had to pick up the tab for excessive insurance claims, had any occurred. It doesn't matter if the loans were paid off before he refinanced them, because they put banks and insurers at risk for more than they could have collected if he defaulted.
Everybody on the Planet who paid a higher rate!

"Haha! COVID killed 1 million Americans, not Trump.
Read the New York judge's partial summary judgement. It's available on MSNBC's web site. The judge went out of his way to try to justify issuing the judgement given the banks made money on the loans. Trump didn't default and paid principal and interest in full. Well, at least since the 1990's.
And as to "rape", that's a "he said, she said" thing. Given the time that's lapsed and the lack of evidence, a fair judge and jury wouldn't have awarded the plaintiff millions. Any one of us could be set up just like Trump may have been if we had a lot of money or a high political profile. ".
