I wonder why they are having less sex? Would be a good question to ask them.

it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

My three-year-old was reading ProPublica when she turned to me gravely and asked "Daddy, why is the nice orange man keeping little children in detention camps?" And when I told her "Because those dark little children were sent by the Jews to replace white children like you," she started crying.

Sorry, I never grew up in a time when so much of life was considered vulgar? Making love is a wonderful thing! But I do wonder if anyone here has talked to their 12-30 year old daughters/sons and grands about what its like to grow up in this culture right now.

I am not religious. I was given the lyrics by a Trumper (👀), and I am coming at this more from a woman's point of view, not from a moralistic point of view. Making love is such a beautiful thing, but some of our artists -regardless of race or color or creed-make it so crude and ugly.

You kind of seem like someone who thinks they are funny, but aren't irl.

My kids dance, and so do my grandkids :) I just worry about how they feel when they are reduced to being someone else's p*ssy. I don't know Daddy Yankee is, but will look him up. I have followed you for a long time, and hope you are not just being mean.

I don't like it from anyone. I have raised daughters and granddaughters in this environment since the 1990's. It's hard.

I get what this guy is saying, but I am an old woman, mother of daughters, grandmother of granddaughters and kind of wondering what the value of cultural sexual crudeness is? Kind of sad about it, really. No snark here, but sure hope we get all of the Epstein files released with un-redacted names.

Maxwell's lawyer publicly offering a quid pro quo: She'll clear Trump of wrongdoing related to Epstein if granted clemency by Trump.
This suggests that if Maxwell doesn't "clear" Trump, things will come out that will further implicate him. Otherwise, the offer makes no sense.

This is a wild departure from past practices. All the talk of the “Worst of the Worst” is a lie. Usually between 50-75 percent of ICE deportees have criminal records. We’ve turned ICE from a crime-fighting org into a racial profiling and ethnic cleansing operation.
