What percent of Republican voters are single issue abortion voters? 35%? 75%?

1. I think there is a 0% chance that the GOP would nominate a so-called Pro-Choice candidate.

2. I think there is also a 0% chance that the Dems would nominate a so-called Pro-Life candidate.

3. I think there is a 50% chance that I didn't understand your question.

4. I think there is a 100% chance that I'm an idiot.

Have a grateful day!

Perhaps I'm going blind

Can’t imagine why that is.


by geezerchess

I tend to agree.

That said, it is ALSO the case that the massive majority of normal people don't like 'deeply LEFT winged people' either.

Normal people see BOTH extremes as awful.

Your “normal people” kept voting for increasingly shittier politicians which eventually and inevitably led to Trump and this fascism.

In addition, there were other conservative candidates that the GOP could have chosen in the primary. But these *******s STILL went with Trump. These people are irredeemable and beyond hope. Just straight up *******s.

I agree with you.

That said, in my opinion the Obama to Clinton to Biden to Harris ain't exactly a positive trajectory either.

As I've said roughly a gazillion times before, both parties are beyond awful. (And becoming more awfuller every day.)

He makes a decent point

At some point you deeply right winged people are going to have to internalize why the massive majority of normal people really don't like you guys

I tend to agree.

In comes the virgin campus preacher idiot to tell us what things normal people like.

Fukk outta here with that weak ass chit. You voted for Trump three times. If you had to go back and vote 2024 again knowing what you know about Trump now and must either vote for Harris or Trump, you would vote Trump again.

Take a look at the election results, guy.

And the Rs have been winning ever since 🙄

The awfulness has been at a somewhat dampened level until trump. He took awfulness and made it something substantially more horrific.

Part of this is because the checks and balances for the most part stopped truly awful things from happening. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we can point to a whole host of things that counter that argument. But there is literally nothing or nobody checking trump and he knows it and he uses it in the worst possible ways.

I really don't think our country was ready for a president that completely lacks any morals or ethics.

Hey everyone!I would like all Moderators to look into a situation that has happened in the SE thread specifically the ongoing NFL threads. I have been banned to a containment thread by AllinMcloven however I have done nothing wrong. A couple trouble maker posters wanted me banned based off my political leanings from other threads. AIM replied by saying that I had not broken a

Hey mongo!

I am quite certain I have never told any poster to ‘kill themselves’ and would like you to produce any such evidence to the contrary as you continue to lie through your teeth while being the worst poster in this forum

Also, seriously guy, I’m just not that into you


I too will now implement the Mongo approach and walk into a Wells Fargo demanding they look into my situation at in n out burger. Sons of bitches don’t know what ‘well done fries’ actually means

Yes, if I HAD to vote for one or the other I would vote for Trump again. Not sure what voting under duress proves though.

The 'good' news is that since I live in California, my vote for Trump (or any Republican candidate for President) is exactly as meaningful as voting for my neighbor's cat.

Polls for the past several years strongly suggest a growing dissatisfaction with BOTH parties. More folks than ever, for example, are registering as Independent.

As an aside, have you finally figured out that Pat Robertson and Pat Buchanan are not the same person? I've asked you about it several times, and for some reason you won't answer the question.

If you'd like me to jog your memory, I would be thrilled and delighted to share your post in which you conflated the two gentlemen.

You didn’t strike me as a utilitarian.

It proves either:

1 - There is nothing Trump can do that would lose your support.

2 - You dislike females and/or minorities to such a degree that Trump can't do anything so bad that it would make you vote for a female minority for president.

Well, which is it, cheez whiz?

I won't speak for gchess but I think you might be underestimating how much the right hates liberals.

So, to a lot of people, the answer is going to be

1) Sure there is. He becomes a liberal.

2) They hate females and minorities to the length that they aren't a right winger. They will collectively vote for Boebert over Newsome.

That's as far as that thought process goes.

The church, Trump. Ole Chuck here just loves child molesters.

For sure. There's a subsection of right-wingers who hate liberals more than the country itself, which is the ******ed option that I wanted to leave off the list.

Anyone with a modicum of critical thinking skills should see that invading Venezuela and talking about sending troops to Mexico, Cuba, Greenland, Canada, Panama, and Colombia is certainly nothing he campaigned on and a detriment to the health of the country, but there are a lot of ******s that are happy to cut off their nose to spite their face.

I was just giving lag the benefit of being a Trump cuck/racist/misogynist rather than a ******.


by Land O Lakes

1 - There is nothing Trump can do that would lose your support.

We can rule that one out. There are lots of things that Trump could do that would be a 'point of no return' for me. I'm almost at that point now, but not quite.

2 - You dislike females and/or minorities to such a degree that Trump can't do anything so bad that it would make you vote for a female minority for president.

We can rule this one out as well. I'd gladly vote for Ben Carson or Sarah Huckabee-Sanders for President, for example. I would have voted for Candace Owens before her brains fell out.

Well, which is it, cheez whiz?

3 - None of the Above.


If shooting peaceful protesters dead at pointblank range doesn't cross a red line for you, what does?

When did President Trump authorize the shooting of a peaceful protestor at pointblank range?

****ing lol

There is no bottom with these clowns


I’d have more respect for lagtight if he just admitted he’s perfectly ok with this than this intellectual dishonesty to try to justify an administration whose Gestapo murdered an American citizen for no rhyme or reason and then tried to paint this person after the fact as a domestic terrorist using nothing but lies and bullshit

Also, remember this is the same party of Rittenhouse, 1/6 and:


Like, miss me with this **** you bottomless scumbags

Down to a man, you are all irredeemable pieces of ****


by coordi

That tweet confirms that Trump rejects the presumptive narrative that the lady was an innocent peaceful protestor. So, that tweet doesn't address my question.

Also, 'authorize' in my context means 'approve of ahead of time.'
