If Trump hadn't randomly brought it up, you wouldn't be talking about it, would you?

Trump brings up a lot of things that I dont talk about. if it wasnt the discussion point over the last few pages of this thread then I wouldnt have talked about it no matter what Trump did.


If the I/P thread weren't closed, I probably wouldn't have talked about it.

If countless politicians hadn't been caught in similar such lies I'd say you're correct ..but they have been.

My wife, who isn't political but likes true life mystery stuff, has been going down the Candace Owen rabbit hole. Candace has done a pretty thorough investigation of the background of Harris's paternal family, and has made a pretty convincing argument (at least to my wife, I personally couldn't be less interested) that in her autobiography Harris literally is putting Jamaican black standins with no relation to her and claiming they are her grandparents, to obfuscate the fact that her paternal line is more white than black.

As Microbet says, in an election where the alternative is Donald Trump, nitpicking his opponent on matters of personal integrity seems bad faith, but it would be a pretty weird lie that at the same time is very believable to have happened exactly as Owens claims.

Cross, don't take this the wrong way, but you're crazy hot when you're wielding a banhammer.

I take it all the right ways. I model much of my modding after you. It helps to have had good examples 😀

Owens says she’s not convinced the world is round, how can she trust any sort of independent attestation to anything at all?

So Maximus is now not going to be back after his second instance of evading a temp ban with an alt. RIP Maximus. He will be missed.

LOL. I said two days that he was trying to get himself banned. Mission accomplished, I guess.


He finally tried hard enough!


Another notch on the mousetrap. The number of times people have got themselves banned for their responses specifically to me is quite uncanny. I guess I just have that je ne sais quoi.

Trump is such a scumbag you just have to think that anyone questioning his opponent's honesty or character is just trolling.

Harris wants to pay for transgender surgery for inmates. That's all I need to know to vote for Trump.

The President decides whether or not nations go to war, decides whether or not every import to the US has a 3000% tariff, and you're deciding who to vote for based on something that may or may not happen to one person on the whole planet. That's not smart.

Yikes! I hope that's sarcasm...I am the last person that should be imitated as a mod...

But it's lovely to see you in any event.

Under Trump, U.S. Prisons Offered Gender-Affirming Care

If she wasn't lying and had worked there, she could at least produce a coworker or manager who knew her. Plus wouldn't she have had it on her tax return?

Tax returns are important again? lmao

Did you know that this was actually the same policy under Trump? So I guess you’re not voting for him either.

Haha Trump is woke.

I didn't see him bragging about it like Harris.

There's the open border thing too!

really, harris brags about giving transgender surgeries to inmates? or does she have a principle that medical treatments should be given to inmates that every single reasonable person has and this happens to include medically relevant treatment like transgender surgeries that are recommended by doctors?

we can disagree epistemically on what counts as a medically relevant treatment but let’s not pretend like anyone is bragging about how many sex reassignment surgeries inmates are getting.

Do you really think tax payer money should be used for that?

People are desperately clinging to Kamala working at McDonald's because it's the tiniest frayed thread tying her to the working class.

Gotchya I was just confused because you said you were. But if you’re not, cool. I still think if you’re a conservative you should vote harris and then republican down the ballot hoping for a gridlocked congress.

As for whether I agree with providing transgender surgeries, I’m inclined to say yes if they weren’t convicted of a sex crime or a crime of extreme violence such as attempted murder, armed robbery, manslaughter, etc and have an especially long sentence. Otherwise I don’t see why they can’t wait until they’re out of prison.

Mongidig,

Ca collects 220 billion in tax revenues and spends 3.8 billion on prisoner medical care annually.. Of which, over four years, they spent 4 million on transgender care.

The PAC has spent over a 100 million running the ad you are so inflamed about.

This was all you needed to know to pick a candidate?

by mongidig k

So since you didn't know that the policy was the same, all you need now is to know was who you saw talking about an identical policy to get your vote?

The border was never open, mong - and I can assure you that there are smarter people than us, which also excludes Kamala or Trump, making decisions surrounding immigration and its effects on the country and the world.

If you think Harris is for open borders, well, I'm going to be nice to Crossnerd (lame of me I know) and not elaborate.
