No-one is mentioning Trump's stroke

It's like tumbleweed out there. During the live televised 9/11 remembrance service Trump's face drooped on one side.

No-one in the mainstream media seems to be mentioning it.

Ive only seen it mentioned on IHIP and the Meidas Touch.

There are many politicians I absolutely despise.

But I would never wish death on them for their opinions, and I would never feel any kind of joy at their demise.

And I certainly wouldn’t crow openly on sm for all and sundry to see.

I just don’t understand it.

I think certain commentators you kind of expect it from, so just kind of ignore it, but harder to do when it’s coming from angles you just wouldn’t expect.

Like who though? You won’t name anyone.

All I’ve seen are anonymous accounts and bots.

Have you passed over the links to Republicans commentary on the death of Melissa Hortman and violent attack on Paul Pelosi?

Hardly when folks have been rabbiting about ihem across the board for two days . Became so monotonously regurgitated id decided it was bots attempting hypnosis through repetition.

I do think if someone was speaking to Kirk in a respectful way, that he could have probably understood that a ten-year-old is unlikely to be able to give birth safely and will require an abortion in the end.

Instead it was asked as a ‘gotcha’ question and this is a huge problem. We are always talking past each other.

Hey I clicked on those links. None of them poured hate on Ms Hortman. It was all directed at Gov Walz. So not the same as wishing death on Trump or Vance or whoever else is the hate figure of the day.

I understand the sentiment, I think, maybe this is just horribly worded?l

There are children of rape out there, and their humanity shouldn’t be brought into question. People unfortunately are not all conceived in love.

But at the same time I also would absolutely not advocate for anyone to keep the baby of rape, unless that was their wish for whatever reason.

Yeah I could have phrased that better, admittedly

It wasn’t a link, thanks. DS just took his History GCSE and part of the revision was creating a list of how the rise of the Nazis was made possible. I saw him working on it at the dining room table, took an interest, and commented on the parallels with what’s happening today. We had an interesting conversation about it. I’ve added the last two points myself, as those happened after their rise to power, and the essay question was about what led to their power. Not everyone is as thick as you believe, and people (even 16 year-olds) can produce information.

Trouble is who sets the syllabus and what slant do they put on it?

It's really easy for men like this to co-opt their daughter's womb and say they would force her to give birth to their rapists' babies, because he isn't the one giving birth. He is not the one who would have his tiny body destroyed.

The fact that you think he is a better person for this vile view says everything we need to know about you. Literally Envy

Maybe she is a Christian. Christians do not believe in abortion regardless of circumstances. This is hyperbolic. A catch you out situation, 'what would you do it your 9 year old was raped and got pregnant'. So they can say ow what a bad person you are for saying keep the baby. Firstly the likelihood of a 9 year old becoming pregnant is very slim being most won't start periods at that age. Secondly as a Christian he has to say no to abortion regardless of the circumstances. You can't pick and choose which circumstances are OK to murder a baby because that is how they see it. The baby is the innocent and has no one to speak for it. Maybe you won't understand this view point, you don't have to but it does not make him a bad person because the murder of a baby is an evil act. Rape is an evil act but you are putting that evil act on to the wrong person for not wanting another evil act to come from it. It's thankfully an extremely unlikely scenario.

At what point does an adult man think his religious views should supercede the care of a vulnerable child? What has conditioned him to be this way?
Over zealous preachers?
Patriarchy?
Ego?
Politicians?
Some other force?

I gave several examples.
The TMZ Crew.
The broadcaster (granted he was fired)
(Just looked it up, Matthew Dowd)
The president-elect of the Oxford Union (George Abaraonye)

They were dismissed as ‘not being politicians’

I also, clearly and numerously, said that my real discomfort was the pervasiveness among everyday people.
School teachers, healthcare professionals and the like.

I can provide endless links and examples, but can’t be arsed, because you will find some reason or not to dismiss them and tell me why they ‘don’t count’.

I can’t be bothered to go out of my way for someone who’s just trying to ‘gotcha’ me

Typically conservatives are okay with abortion if the mother’s life is at risk, all states with abortion bans have this carve out. So no, he’d not sacrifice her life in that way.

But yeah, I’m with you in the sense I would not want a rapist scumbag to reproduce with my own flesh and blood.

Over time I've become fairly inured to the extreme stuff that gets said on here. But that's have actually managed to shock me.

We're discussing a 9-year-old child's body being forced to carry a pregnancy – and the bit that leaps out to you is you wouldn't want your descendants reproducing with a scumbag?

So you agree that Biden is nowhere near trump level of narcissism? As it is, many leaders have narcissistic, or worse, tendencies!

Jill Biden was culpable for the way her husband was used.

Rather odd to keep banging on about all this evidence you have, then stomping your feet and refusing to provide any of it.

I hardly think the TMZ crew in the US, one US analyst and one university student represent 'pervasiveness among everyday people.'

If that's the best you could come up then it shows that it really isn't pervasive.

Having gone through childbirth several times, I know the toll it takes.

But my actual point is that Charlie would have seen the fetus as a blessing from god, I could
never see it as anything but a rapist’s spawn.

It’s just a completely different POV and not one that is reconcilable.

Edexcel. Are you saying that those things didn’t happen in 1930s Germany? I didn’t realise that what have, until recently, been uniformly agreed reasons why the Nazis were able to secure a victory at the ballot box, were now up for debate.

You don't think he could have researched that himself? The risks are not exactly unknown.

Or don't you accept that he believed what he was saying?

I know this poster has no interest in seeing links, because if they were they’d see them. They’re not hard to find.

I'm not worried about Vance, imo the cult won't survive the loss of its leader.

Can't agree there. He's young full of vigor. He could go two terms
