Trump is finally getting his balls back and the Democrats are switching place with the Republicans

Needed: a virtual trading card showing a buff Trump clobbering the Arlington staffer. Something a Trumpie can show his grandkids.

Hilarious comments in the last 24 hours by former President Ballsback, on abortion. He's now against the Florida 6 weeks ban, says it's not enough weeks. In other words, 6 weeks is not long enough for WOMEN TO MAKE THE CHOICE. He's making pro-choice squawks because he can sniff what's in the wind.
Be sure to tell your pro-life friends that their hero is pro-choice.
Of course, he's still puffed-up about destroying Roe, which he says "everyone" wanted to kill, if everyone means 35%, I guess.
What a mentally deranged dotard.

Like a broken clock, the OP absolutely will be proven correct soon enough; Donald Trump most assuredly will get his balls back, come September 10th, having been handed them by his debate opponent, Kamala Harris.

(Assuming he doesn’t find some chickenshit pretense for ducking it.)

That's assuming anyone can find where he misplaced them.

I know from experience that any amount of body fat greater than a certain threshold makes the existence let alone location of a scrotum rather difficult to infer.

Indeed, this idea that Trump is holding back seems quite disjointed with reality.

The better question is when is Trump going to start thinking with his head, instead of his balls.

Or is it not possible that they could have become successful and wealthy if they were also subjected to sexism and racism?

No that would not be possible.

Have you heard of any females wearing a black sheet over their face in the middle east who (other than inheritance) bootstrapped themselves to billionaires? Females just aren't going to make billions in a country that has meaningful sexism or racism. That is what real sexism and racism looks like. Not the shit that the DNC tries to peddle in order to help cause a civil war in the US.

Disagree. It can be meaningful long before it reaches the black sheet level.

I do agree the Democrats are wrong, but you certainly aren't proving it! (And note that the Republicans are actively seeking to impose racism and sexism. They're even worse.)

3. End censorship

Who is burning books?

Google and Facebook are burning digital speech. And worse than that they are indirectly controlled by our government.

It would be even much worse if Musk had not bought Twitter.

Musk just censors in a fashion you like. Favoring right over left without regard for truth.

I'm not sure what you're talking about with Google "burning" digital speech. What digital speech do they really have anyway?

Facebook has been taking action on a little bit of the most extreme stuff. Note that it's always clearly false speech. And they have a pretty conservative group looking for the wrongs, the left is being hit more than the right. (For example, calling things "disinformation" when people make claims about Project 2025 that involve a certain amount of reading between the lines--combining what's in the plan with what they have said about their positions.)

You are gonna die of something. That's what people do. Might as well be cholesterol.

By all means, Have It Your Way. But I see the 42% of us who are classified obese, and I've heard how they wheeze just getting out of a chair. I'd rather have my 20 - 30 years on them. If you pick the right exercise (hint: the pool), it's fun. If you pick the right healthy foods, they make the typical American high-fat diet seem repulsive. End of speech, each to his own.

And every year they change the definition of obese - using a BMI measurement that is not and never was a measurement of health.

Huh? When is the last time they changed the definition?

And, yes, BMI makes mistakes at the extremes--mistaking athletes for obese. But in general the variations are within a few points, if the BMI flags you you're either an athlete or too heavy.

I hate to disagree with your observation, but it is based on the debatable assumption that Trump engages in actual thinking. I suspect that he simply reacts to the circumstance and says something that makes him feel better.

His physical condition after being shot didn’t put him “close to dying”, but being struck by a bullet that was only a couple inches off target is a textbook example of “almost being killed”.

I suspect it will be a long time before we know for sure what happened. That sure looks to me like a splinter wound and not a bullet graze, though.

But as hurtinbuckaroo indicates, it was close enough to not really need to barter over whether his life was in danger. Someone tried to kill him. He wasn't at death's door, he was barely even injured, but someone DID die and it was serious enough of a risk that I'm not haggling.

The CDC collected data related to possible adverse reactions, including deaths due to COVID vaccines: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/adverse-events.html

A friend of mine is immune compromised and has a number of allergies to common medications. She begged her doctor for the COVID vaccine, and he finally agreed providing she got vaccinated in a hospital setting. She did well with her COVID vaccine and remained healthy.

Fundamentally, other than anaphylaxis all the risks of the vaccine are minor shadows of the risks of Covid itself. Your body is picking a fight with fake Covid, it reacts in a similar fashion as if it picked a fight with the real thing.

And doctors bend over backwards about not taking risks. Yes, eating an egg would not have been a good thing for my mother (unpleasant, not anaphylaxis), getting an egg-based vaccine was not a danger. Ended up going elsewhere and lying about the egg situation.

I just learned that my friend is hospitalized now with COVID. She had been able to have 3 vaccines, but not any more because of her allergies and the very real, very carefully monitored reactions to previous COVID vaccines.

Exposure to allergens that cause severe reactions, including anaphylaxis, INCREASE with the number of exposures. This includes things such as bee stings, some foods, such as shellfish or bivalves, and some medications. I have very close family members with serious, even life threatening allergies to things like bee stings and shellfish and bivalves. Exposure does not simply involve being a bit uncomfortable but airways swelling —full on anaphylaxis, which is caused by a different part of the body’s immune system than response to a viral infection.

 

[Loren Pechtel]

Just to be clear about this and keep on topic.

I'm not, nor was ever against the forced vaccination if it is for the public good.

But I am vehemently opposed to the government censoring speech from doctors and scientists who want to contribute their knowledge of the subject in facebook, google, or twitter. I feel we have the guaranteed right to speak to one another even if it is about a subject the govenment feels it should have a monopoly.

But they weren't contributing their knowledge. They were contributing clear misinformation. A few were even so out of line they lost their licenses over it.

3. End censorship

Funny how Facebook is becoming a cesspool for social misinformation and that seems to be what RVonse wants to bath in.

I still have facebook though I never post or interact with "likes" etc... The disinfo that appears in my feed is ridiculous. It doesn't matter that I never interact with it and I hide/block every account that posts it. I guess my friends are stupid enough to interact with those bots and troll accounts so the algorithm thinks it will get my eyeballs too?

No idea as I haven't looked at my feed in many, many years. I go to some hiking forums, that's it.

Smile!

Yup, The Felon won't stop committing crimes. Is this who you want for president???

(In case Faux hasn't told you the problem--no political pictures in Arlington.)

From my perspective it's not really about whether he was grazed by the bullet or hit by something else, but what the psychological effects are. I did make some pretty significant changes to my eating habits after I got out of the ICU for high blood pressure (a doctor told me it was "very close" and I could have easily had a stroke or heart attack), and some people who have a "close call" get more (or less) spiritual, go out and smell the grass, etc. I lost 50lbs, had regular doctor visits, and have been taking care of my heart health. It DOES change you, and like any major thing like that, everyone processes it differently. I'm still affected by the auto accident I was in 8 years ago, too. PTSD can pop up years later.

Trump? His initial response was to yell "fight" and give a fist bump, but the incident did not (as many on the right and in the media guessed) make him more spiritual, or more calm, or anything but what he's always been. I noted that he backed way off on public appearances, even indoor rallies, and has largely switched from rallies to "events." I've said it before, but I think it scared him, and he's not processing it very well. He's lashing out even more, has doubled-down on all his most repugnant attack lines, and with the race swinging against him with Harris in the Democratic slot it seems like he's more of a "cornered animal" than before.

Not only is that not good from a purely political perspective, but if he wins he'll be all the more unstable.

Yeah, but our problems (I obviously inherited whatever it is) have never shown any hint of anaphylaxis. Things get worse with repeated exposure, things get better with time. Anaphylaxis-type reactions warrant great care, other adverse reactions do not.

This is true. Musk suspended the X account of a White House photographer who posted a photograph of Trump's right ear appearing uninjured.

I didn't know about that one but I don't find it one bit surprising. He's very quick to ban anybody that discredits the party line.
