President Donald Trump

Maybe we can just blame this all on Catholic depictions of white Jesus

I speak only for myself, but what you wrote above doesn't reflect my views at all.

U.S. Republicans currently are supporting an amoral grifter who is unwilling to distinguish, or incapable of distinguishing, between the national interest and his personal interest.

I want them to quit supporting such a person. If they were to transfer their support to a non-garbage person, I would be close to indifferent to whether that person identified as a secular conservative or a Christian.

It’s supremely disappointing you feel the need to defend yourself and validate your position to a far-right megatroll

trump started to call the country a company like bush in the middle of his taco ramble.

One of bush's historic lines probably won't even make it onto the radar screen for trump lol

The taco meltdown was a ****ing all timer for trump

Although I am worried that now out of sheer spite he’ll tariff and stick to it just to say he’s not a taco and for literally no other reason

America gave a national holiday to honor Civil Rights icon Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King.*

The Civil Rights Movement was initially a grass roots movement in the Black churches. I don't recall folks screaming about "separation of church of state" until Jerry Falwell founded the Moral Majority.

*Although I think some Lefties today aren't big fans of Rev. King no more.

Did you seriously think that I was defending myself? I simply was pointing out, albeit politely, that I thought he was full of ****. I truly do not gaf what Luciom (or you or anyone else, for that matter) thinks about me or my posts in this forum.

In my opinion, that is one of the reasons that you are one of the best posters in this forum.

Abortions don't kill babies.

Many of them do.

Here is a lie from you:

Every poster on this forum has called luciom a liar because that is who he is and what he does.

He believes some of the toxic **** he spews but he constantly lies to radicalize others. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was on someone’s payroll for the **** he posts.

I’m not the only person who has said this or thinks this. It’s actually the common point of view here

None of them do. "Unborn babies" are fetuses. The term baby refers to post-birth only, especially in the first year or so of life. Saying abortions kill babies is an appeal to emotion, but it is factually inaccurate.

Sorry, but one thing I don't stand on the sidelines for very often is medical misinformation.

You can point out someone is full of **** with far less energy and without needing to validate their completely bullshit cognitive dissonance saying ‘I can’t speak for anyone else but ________’. The idea of ‘politely’ engaging is little more than sanctimony that elevates discourse with truly shitty people who deserve no seat at the table legitimacy

But hey that’s just me

Edit:

Hey at least this guy thinks that was a good post

The real question is, in a presidential race between Luciom and Trump, who would you vote for? No third party or no vote cuckery either.

Your Baby at 4 Weeks
If you were to look at baby on an ultrasound at 4 weeks, you wouldn’t see much, but there’s actually a lot going on at this very early stage of your baby’s development. The fertilized egg has implanted into your uterus, and it’s quickly beginning to grow. (You may begin to experience some implantation symptoms associated with this.)

Splitting in two: This week, the blastocyst (which is basically a collection of cells) is splitting, eventually turning into your placenta (a whole new organ) and an embryo (hi, baby!).

Prepping for development: Even though it’s a tiny dot of a thing that can barely be seen on an ultrasound, the gestational sac carries blueprints for your baby’s nose, toes and just about everything else hidden in their chromosomes.

How Big is a Baby at 4 Weeks?
At 4 weeks, baby is the size of a poppy seed—just 0.05 inches.

At 4 weeks pregnant, it’s a bit too early for an ultrasound (that’ll come in a few weeks) but if you were to look at baby, this is what you’d see.

Did you think my argument was "no one has ever misused the term 'baby'?" It wasn't.

Now instead of googling for confirmation bias, look up what the word "baby" actually means.

I'll help:
Various sources, all authoritative.

1. a very young child, especially one newly or recently born.

A baby is generally considered to be in their first year of life, from birth to one year old. While the term "baby" can sometimes be used more broadly, the most common understanding is that a baby is an infant up until they reach their first birthday.

Baby is an informal term that can technically refer to any child from birth to 4 years old, though it's most commonly used to refer to young children before they reach the toddler stage.

Pedantry like this doesn't do the point you want to make any favors.

that is a lot of alter boys you missed out on...

I am wholly unconcerned with your opinion of my factually correct information.

baby

[ bey-bee ]


Phonetic (Standard)
IPA
noun
plural babies.
1. an infant or very young child.
2. a newborn or very young animal.
3. the youngest member of a family, group, etc.:
I was the baby of the family for ten years, until my twin brothers were born.

4. an adult who behaves like a child; an immature, helpless, or fearful person:
Just swallow the medicine—don't be such a baby!

5. a human fetus:
The baby hasn’t arrived yet, but the nursery is ready.

Amazingly, some words have multiple definitions.

Some folks never learn.

Hilariously, the example they used isn't referring to a human fetus, it's referring to a baby that doesn't exist yet. Unsurprising that the word has been used in that way so often they tried to accommodate the misuse and captured a correct usage of the term as an example. But trust, the medical definition does not include "fetus." That is simply a layman's misuse of the term that this dictionary is accommodating (and using it inconsistently in the example lol).

But sure, continue with your obvious appeal to emotion. Fetuses are at issue here, not babies. The vast majority of abortions (96%) occur before 15 weeks, for the record. Also of note, abortions "moments before birth" and even "after birth" (LOL) though often referenced, are illegal and do not occur.

For the record, the oxford dictionary, a much higher authority on the language than dictionary.com (lol) doesn't have that definition at all:
https://www.oed.com/dictionary/baby_n?ta...

nor do most. But good job continuing with the confirmation bias. There's a reason you are fighting to keep using the word baby rather than just correcting your language. The reason is because your argument is hinged almost entirely on the appeal to emotion.

Conservatives. That's the "some folks."
