  1. All I'm saying...is do NOT trust someone who can't give a clear answer to questions like this. It IS a yes or no, and that is indicated by the other two women who quickly answered NO and the one lady to further explained why. There was no hesitation on their part. So, there is zero reason for hesitation on the others part other than trying to get pinned down to an unfavorable answer.

  2. Blows my mind how absolutely NOTHING is ever a simple yes or no answer. You could ask them if they like salt on their popcorn and they would refuse to say yes or no...

  3. Furthermore, if we are to truly believe that her saying word for word "They should never know peace again..." did not actually mean "They should never know peace again..." then words mean nothing altogether. Privilege is, in the same breathe, being able to confirm that threatening government officials for carrying out their constitutional duties is a threat to democracy...AND defend your own actions doing EXACTLY that as not a threat to democracy.

  4. Biden: Let me start with 2 words "MADE IN AMERICA!". I'm not kidding about these two words. I mean both these words deeply and truly. MADE IN AMERICA!!!" Take these TWO words deadly seriously guys! MADE...IN...AMERICA!

  5. So we are at the point where he is no longer speaking off script at all anymore. No questions, no comments. Walk in, read script, walk out. Scary times...

  6. I'm old enough to remember when crazy Democrats accused Trump of mass murder and demanded hard prison time for COVID. Wonder if that logic applies to Biden when these innocents he abandoned end up on a video getting their heads sawed off?

  7. You merely need to look back at these same folks a hand full of years ago DEMANDING the filibuster be preserved when the controlled nothing...to see why they DON'T want it now.

  8. There are few Democrats I respect these days...but this guy handily made the list of the one's I do respect. Even if we disagree on every other political topic, I respect the hell out of him for being THIS direct in calling out such evil.

  9. Exactly. And it's telling that the left is demanding the SC rule according to their ideology and not according to the Constitution.

  10. ​ @user-ut6jj8kv1s Here's the thing. You can't be ok with Willis' behavior and not Trumps. You can't hate Trumps behavior and be ok with Willis'. If you don't see issue with Willis' behavior than you are, by default, conceding that Trump was ok too. That, or you must concede both are out of hand.

  11. Because it's not about getting an answer. it's about getting sound bites that will go viral and get THEM the attention they so desire. Her intent was to sound and look powerful and confronting of such an evil sexist no good very bad man. Instead she looked like someone proving his idea right.

  12.  @jodyschlamb1863  Fair point, but if you are only going to give the guy .02 seconds to talk before launching in to a screaming tirade over him speaking...what's the point in even offering a response anyway?

  13. The sooner you realize that THIS reaction, the one you are watching here, is the reaction they'd have NO MATTER WHO WAS ON THE TICKET...the sooner you realize it's about ideology not who's on the ticket. It's not about Harris and Walz. They could have a literal douche and a turd sandwich at the top of the ticket and these people would be right here still giving GLOWING coverage of the two, because the IDEOLOGY is what matters, and pushing it at all costs, regardless of who's name or face is on it.

  14. I mean, I'd expect you to apply that logic to the vaccine too. I hope you do. But many democrats want to play the game of forcing YOU to take the needle, but not allowing you to ensure they take responsibility for their own actions *in most cases...

  15.  @alanwatterson2850  I don't have to be an expert in Obstetrics to have an opinion on it my friend. We know human life begins at conception. We know there is a unique, whole, separate DNA there. Separate from mom and dads, a human that never has existed, and never will exist again. There is no way around it. I'll end it with this, being educated is not the same thing as being smart. They are two different things. You can have all the degrees in the world and still be stupid. Have a great day.

  16. Do you support vaccine mandates? Cause the conundrum of believing I should be forced to take a needle in the arm, while believing YOU shouldn't be forced to carry a baby....

  17.  @charlesyoung2197  Me thinks this fool above was not alive when the war started....

  18.  @PeaceLoveAndHarmny  So you heard a yes or no answer in there to that question? Please point me to it.

  19. ​ @melgillham462 Exactly. If you are saying Willis' behavior was fine, you can't hold someone else to a different standard. Be they Trump or anyone else. They will, of course, because this is not and never has been about equal application of the law across the board or a fair and unbiased trial for them. In their eyes, Trump is guilty already. The trial is simply designed to do whatever it takes to confirm their presumption. Straight politically motivated lawfare.

  20. My god the convenience these folks live with. Convenient that there is somehow ALWAYS an exception to the rule for them. ALWAYS. What a masterful job of cornering them and then tying them down with their own words.

  21. Ho.....lee....shit. Protect Cruz at all costs! We need 100 more like him! We NEED fight like this!

  22. I can't see why not. If your party will completely disregard your concerns and insist on you ignoring your own conscience and vote blindly....they don't value you past your vote. Get out.

  23.  @ianmichelson768  But you do want salt. But the equivalent of this question would really be if he asked her if she supported abortion in general. That is truly asking if she likes salt on her pop corn. Him asking if she supports abortion at 9 months would be to ask if she likes a lot of salt. She could say "No I don't like a lot of salt." "No, I don't support abortion that late." or she could say "Yes I do like a lot of salt." "Yes I do support abortion through all 9 months till birth." Instead she said "I support the choice of everyone to use as much or as little salt as possible", meaning she offered nothing in the way of an answer to the question he asked her.

  24. Absolutely everything this admin has touched, has been destroyed. Everything. But then again, thats kinda the goal. That's why AOC was laughing with joy when oil companies where paying for their oil to be shipped out cause they couldn't sell it last year. They WANT to break it down. In order to then rebuild it according to their own agenda.

  25. I mean, the Chuck Schumer of a few years back just got his biggest wish! He was fighting tooth and nail to preserve the filibuster!

  26. Or someone who isn't truly concerned with the evidence as much as they are just getting what they want at any cost possible.

  27. I'd def like to see a Ramaswamy VP.

  28.  @tc2882  There would have been no soundbite. "No, I don't support abortion up until birth." is not a big "gotcha" kinda soundbite unless you then go back and support legislation that does allow for it...but that then means you simply lied.

  32.  @TommyJonesProductions  So Biden was just forced to accept that? No possible way he could have...iunno...signed an EO to do away with it like he did countless other Trump ideas?

  33. That trash is ALL over FB and IG. If you watch enough predator nabbing videos on Youtube, you see a theme of them all using IG and FB amongst a few other apps. And it doesn't necessarily hide on those apps either.

  34. Yeaaaaa, WHEN the Republicans retake house and senate in midterms...Biden will be lucky if he isn't court marshaled on this...

  35. Ah yes. Nothing could attract moderate independents like stolen valor and extreme socialist policy positions.

  36. Free speech matters. What also matters is a United States Representative telling the world she agrees with her own citizens being taken captive and murdered by a foreign terrorist organization. We can not allow that. We can not allow people who are supposed to be representing these people of the United States...celebrating their capture and murder by enemies of the United States. it's borderline treasonous.

  37. She refused to even condemn the beheading of babies and rape of women. If you CAN NOT acknowledge that, you DO NOT belong in a position within our government. Get her and anyone else who won't condemn it OUT!

  38.  @voltar99  No. If you sometimes do, then the answer is "Yes, I do at times. If you never do, then the answer is "No, I don't."

  39.  @voltar99  Yes...means...yes. it's purely a matter of how often or how much, but its still yes. At any rate, this about the lady and abortion. Not popcorn hahaha!

  40.  @ianmichelson768  We are humans with our own minds, and women do not get pregnant without male input. It is our business. That child is as much the fathers as they are the mothers. Why should a father be forced to watch his own child be marched to their death if he is willing to take responsibility if she doesn't want to? Life threatening conditions are QUITE rare and if a mother has to undergo a procedure to save her life (like chemo) that by extension ends up killing the baby, that is not an issue with me. If we are referring to ectopic pregnancies that were never viable and need corrected to save the woman's life, that's not an issue. Intent matters. The intent of abortion, and it's ONLY intent...is to kill the baby. Besides all that, after a certain point...not even health can be an argument. If a baby is viable outside the womb, you induce labor, save mom, and do all you can to save baby. If that is at all ever possible, any procedure that otherwise purposely ends the child's life is intentional and thus murder.

  41.  @ianmichelson768  ...are you actually pulling the Jesus card to argue about how every single woman in history since has gotten pregnant? To answer your question though, God impregnated her. God is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. All male figures. Thus even Mary was impregnated with male input.

  42. So the strategy is to simply throw as much free cash at as many people as humanly possible? Notice how much work suddenly gets done in the months leading up to the election? They move heaven and hell to get things done for a short time...to get votes...and then they don't do shit for 3.5 years.

  43. "I never checked a book out without my parent knowing..." Ok, fine. How do you expect to operate a school library on school grounds in a way that no books can be checked out until a parent sees the book first? Furthermore, if we can not reasonably expect our educators and school board members to ensure ACTUAL pornographic material is NOT given to our children...what the fuck are you good for? The implication is "We are going to make it available no matter what, no matter how explicit, no matter how graphic. YOUR job is to keep US out of your home if you don't like it. No. Not how that's gonna work. That's the kinda stuff abusers say.

  44. I hope you don't support vaccine mandates...

  45.  @chrishogue7823  I don't. Do you not see it as a bit barbaric to force people to take a needle and then show papers to engage in everyday life?

  46. The irony is so incredibly obvious, yet SO many don't see it. There is actually a black person out there who, will happily show government issued ID and papers when stopping at a Wendy's to eat before voting...and then fully believe he is the victim of a racist attack when having to show that same ID to cast a vote under his own name 20 mins later. Mind you, the entire previous argument against voter ID was that it was so incredibly difficult for black folks to GET an ID. What about that scenario changed now that that same ID is required to buy a burger? How did it magically become unracist to demand that same black person to get an ID to buy food...while still being racist to require that black person to get an ID to vote?

  47. Notice the contrast here. There is no middle ground with these people. You either agree with them...or you literally want children to die. There is zero in between. That is the sentiment across the board though on the left for some time now. At any rate, my immediate response here would be "What law do you propose that will make sure no one steals a gun for a crime? Furthermore, how are you 100% confident (despite all the other laws being ignored thus far) that one more law will do the trick?"

  48. Gaffes aside, notice how they posture these things. Very clearly the message is "You agree with us, or you are an enemy of America." There is no ability to disagree anymore.

  49. Democrat policies get people killed, raped, and assaulted.
