You can really see how the stuff about protecting women's sports or kids or even in this case respecting the military is all bullshit. This is about disrespecting a specific trans veteran, to say to all trans people "we hate you." It's who they are! They're just nasty little bigots!

Batya might be just fine with a dudetrustme basis for a terrorist designation, but Americans with a functioning moral compass actually expect a plausible public rationale for who is to be treated as a terrorist in our name.

It's kind of mind-blowing how these tech dorks think they're so smart and have the utmost confidence in their genius, while actual smart people are constantly doubting themselves and critiquing their own arguments.

It’s not believable because it isn’t true
Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

I'm sorry, but I just do not believe that 32% of US adults know who Justinian was, let alone have an opinion about him one way or the other
Cleopatra is the single most popular ancient figure* among Americans. Big potential support base for the "attractive maniac" candidate

With the U.S. military’s blatantly war crime strikes in the Caribbean, there are no libs getting owned, no rich people making money, no national security goal being advanced.
It’s only this: Are you better than history’s monsters like you’ve long said you are, or not?

I'm shocked but somewhat pleased the mainstream media is going all Watergate on the Hegseth war crimes in the Caribbean. "Morning Joe" (yes, I know, don't @ me) has talked about little else for 2 hours
I'm not 100% convinced that this is the turning point but it might be, with Trump at just 36%

I think we can safely say that the Leavitt's brother called ICE on his ex, the mother of his child, and I have to say: I have no desire to respect, find common ground or share the country with these monsters.
“After Ferreira was detained, Dos Santos Rodrigues said Michael Leavitt Sr. and his father, Bob Leavitt, reached out to her.”
“‘They just kept saying, ‘Tell her to self-deport,’” she recalled. “Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home.’” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...
