She's young, she's fierce, she's telling the truth every single day.

President Trump put her there because she gets it: America First means fighting for the American people delivering historic wins, record tax refunds.
The critics They're melting down because they can't handle a strong smart woman who refuses to back down.

She's a working mom, a woman of faith, and she's balancing it all. That's leadership. That's strength.

She is not a woman of faith if she spends her days pushing propaganda from a warmongering, misogynist abuser. Grab em by the pussy!

You are either part of the propaganda machine or really taken in by it

Nah off to make a Cuppa, bottom Line America Rocks

I'd say it was predictable rather than heartbreaking.

Not in any of the many many countries where women are viewed as second class and lesser, no.

Men. We give them their lives. In return all they seem to want to be is big poo-flinging monkeys.

I think people don’t get that women can be fanatics as well. Many an isis woman genuinely thought infidels should be killed or enslaved. Look at any interviews from the isis camps. These women are radicalising their own kids.

I’m actually optimistic, Hezbollah are being roundly condemned in Lebanon at the moment, even by the Shia population, hopefully civilian authority will soon be the norm, rather than a whole country being run by a militia. Gazans are being more vocal in their criticism of Hamas (poor guy got his arms and legs broken the other day for it). Once the nutters are sidelined maybe we can get some peace treaties going. The fall of the IRCG should actually result in a more stable middle east in a little while.

Lourdes12 · 06/03/2026 10:57

Maybe we need to learn more about what’s going on inside the brain of violent people. Maybe these men needs to have brain scans before allowed into power. Maybe we just need more women in power

Yes the people there don’t want them either. Hopefully so.

morals are subjective one persons morals is different from the next

Excuse me? So by you fraud, lying, abuse, infidelity, sexual assault and warmongering are all A OK?

FFS there's none so blind as those who don't want to see.

all i said in context is that morals are subjective.

oxford definition:

Here is a breakdown of the definition and perspective regarding subjective morality:

  • Definition of Morality: oxford reference defines morality as "a system of values, normative rules, or principles according to which intentions or behaviours are judged to be good or bad, right or wrong".
  • Subjective Interpretation: Morality is considered subjective because these judgments are often based on personal feelings, tastes, or opinions . As no two individuals or cultures have identical life experiences, there is significant variation in what is considered moral or immoral

You are contorting yourself in order to defend the indefensible.

Given your blind allegiance to MAGA and Trump nobody will have any faith in your ability to judge right from wrong anyway, so you can toot on until you're blue in the face and we'll still think Trump, MAGA and Karonline Leavitt are rotten to the core.

i would prefer yes, but when society chooses the party with that leader then i would also hope society would vote better too

LeftBoobGoneRogue · 06/03/2026 16:31

@Rightsraptor
Have you seen many women raping, murdering and well, starting wars that involve the indiscriminate bombing of civilians?

I haven’t.
Women can be rude, abusive and obnoxious. They can neglect their children, commit fraud and shop lift but you don’t see many female murderers and no female rapists.
Men on the other hand……..

Other countries have voted better.

It's just America who voted in a pussy grabber. Twice.

coloration is not causation besides whos to say that two things could be true maybe they did but another country rearmed them etc like running out of milk and the shop provides more milk

Quoting dictionary definitions may work for High School Assignments, matey, but context matters.
Trump apologists cannot hide behind casuistry; although a lot of 'em try.
That, and appeals to patriotism which, as a famous British dictionary compiler once said, is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
