FuglyDuck , in Christian conservative leader wants federal law to sue teachers who "groom" kids with "sodomy"
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

I wonder if she knows that it’s already illegal?

Or is she just salty that priests are the ones being arrested?

Kellamity ,

I think she does - the bill is about materials being sent home with kids from schools that include sodomy or grooming or the incredibly vague ‘lgbt agenda’

It’s designed so that instead of banning books individually, they can just sue for anything they don’t like.

The headline makes it sound ridiculous - and in a way it is, of course - but it’s potentially dangerous. I don’t know how much sway her organisation has, if it’s big or niche. Hopefully zero

Etterra ,

No she’s just an idiot with an agenda. Her propaganda software is just stuck in a recursion loop.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Except that by “groom kids with sodomy,” she means “teach them that queer people exist and that they’re normal people.”

FuglyDuck ,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, there’s that.

They like changing definitions. Though, if we’re gonna talk about groomers, she’s more likely to be one than drag or LGBTQ, and it ain’t even close.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Definitely. You don’t hear stories about drag queens committing sexual assault against children.

You hear a lot of stories of religious figures doing it though…

I imagine if my life was destroyed cause I like putting it in a particular spot with my partners. I’ve done what this man did a lot of times with no penalty (other than a partner who was mad that I was too quick the first time I got to). Funny, there’s a huge portion of the porn industry that caters to my taste. wtf. This man has been wronged. Give him a pension. He’s fucking earned that and more for his suffering.

Zier , in Trump–Biden Debate Conspiracies Have Already Flooded the Internet
@Zier@fedia.io avatar

Biden looked terrible, and he sounded terrible.
Trump lied about 99% of the time.
Biden told us what he did for ALL Americans and there is more to come.
Trump admitted he cut taxes for the wealthy and destroyed environmental regulations.
As a voter, you are voting for the candidate and their administration.
The choice in 2024 is, A. Things get better for our Democracy, or B. We install a dictator and voting ends forever.
They are not both the same, and NOT voting, or 3rd party voting, helps the weaker candidate win.

I'm voting for the candidate that has been making life for ALL citizens better, that's the job of the President.

retrospectology ,
@retrospectology@lemmy.world avatar

Things won’t get better under Biden though. Strongest argument neoliberals might be able to make is that fascism will arrive slightly slower under their guy.

But seeing how Biden is fumbling it’s very likely he’s going to lose this. He needs to step down. If it’s about the party or the administration then he needs to realize that. If he stays in he is responsible for a Trump win.

HubertManne ,

Things have gotten better under his first term so I don't see why it would not. At least for things the president could effect. As far as facism it has not improved in terms of rectifying citizens united but not getting better is a whole lot better than getting way worse.

Fades ,

OPEN YOUR FUCKING EYES JESUS CHRIST

retrospectology ,
@retrospectology@lemmy.world avatar

And look at what? The genocide he’s funding? The illegal border policy he tried to pass that was identical to the one Trump tried to pass under his term? Or am I suppose to be looking at the past 40 years where neoliberals like Biden have failed to to confront the slow encroachment of fascism and instead chose to spend all their energy and resources undermining progressives in their own party? Or how voting the “lesser of two evils” for all that time has produced zero results?

You’re acting exasperated as if neoliberal democrats aren’t complicit in where we are right now. I think it’s you who needs to open your eyes and understand that neolibs aren’t helping or even buying us more time. The loss of our rights has continued full speed under the Biden admin, and he’s risking it all to satisfy his own ego and fanatical zionism.

No. Biden is responsible for his unelectability and when he refuses to step aside he will be responsible for his loss.

jumjummy ,

Biden or Trump, which one are you voting for? Oh, that’s right, Russians can’t vote in US elections!

jumjummy ,

Oh look, the same clown in the same circus. Just come out and say you want Trump to win. All this blabbing you do on every single Biden thread trying to come across as “for the good of the party”. Totally disingenuous.

People like you will be responsible for Trump.

crusa187 ,

Biden (and his ego) is responsible for the inevitable loss in November, but they will surely blame leftists for not voting hard enough. It’s utterly deranged they expect a candidate such as this to pass muster, but here we are. Biden admin couldn’t even pass voting rights act, after Jan 6 and attempted coups with fake electors plot happened. The incompetency at governing is truly astounding, and this is why I’ll also blame Biden for the slide into fascism.

Hadriscus ,

Exactly. They won’t get better either way. But at least they won’t get even worse. Wouldn’t you want that ?

Mihies ,

How is it possible to get worse?

GoodEye8 ,

Biden at least tries to save some face, as evident from the recent cease fire push. Trump doesn’t give two shits about optics and would instantly give Israel whatever they want and publicly back then up. It won’t get much worse, because it’s already so bad it’s hard to get much worse, but it will get worse under Trump.

Spacehooks , (edited )

Never ask that question. It’s a flag.

Israel could always round up Palestinians into camps for thier safety preventing them from Leaving. Then provide them jobs… and then kill whomever in gas chambers.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

They’re already rounded up into camps. They’re called “safe zones”

Electing trump will surely show us just how awful life here can be. Watch documentaries about the DPRK and you will see what dear leader wants to become. Freedom will be a memory.

Hadriscus ,

You want to try and see ?

HubertManne ,

we could stop trying to aid palestinians. we could give israel more than a token amount of military aid. If you don't think what we do is token compare ukraine to israel. its about 10x (when ukraine stuff is not blocked by a certain party). direct us troops could be involved even if its just killing iranian generals with missiles.

dogslayeggs ,

Are you seriously so stupid you can’t imagine ways it gets worse? A) The humanitarian aid we give Palestinians would stop. That is worse. B) The military aid we give Israel could get much higher. C) The tacit approval we give to Netanyahu to commit war crimes could become overt approval, giving him freedom to commit worse atrocities. D) The US could put troops on the ground, which might almost be better since our troops are both better trained AND not so intent on committing genocide compared to the IDF, but in the end is probably worse since Trump would just order eradication of everything.

MEANWHILE Biden has been working hard on a 3-step peace plan that includes giving up remaining hostages for ceasefire and then continued ceasefire with more conditions resulting in the end of the goddamn war.

Hadriscus ,

yep

crusa187 ,

Biden’s throat was sore on debate night from gobbling Bibi’s knob, he’s easily one of the most Zionist presidents in American history. Biden wouldn’t even address Trump’s derogatory comments towards Palestinians during the debate. And most importantly - Biden is presently enabling the genocide. “Trump would be worse” is such a weak argument, even if true - where’s the accountability for the current administration?

Soulg ,

You’d think, based on your username, you would be against what Trump stands for, seeing as he’s clearly worse for Gaza too.

I can no longer tell if you’re a provocateur or an idiot, frankly.

For them if doesn’t matter who wins, because if Israel is not stopped there won’t be anyone left in Gaza by 2025.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Biden is working hard to help genocide the Palestinians. He could end this whenever he wants by not giving them more weapons. He said there was a red line! All lies.

Jax ,

How does Biden take away the guns they already have?

Furthermore, have you even thought about how not giving them more firepower will play out? Because, guess what, it still won’t stop what Israel is doing.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

The bombs would run out if Biden stopped giving them more - Israel itself has admitted they need the US to do the genocide.

crusa187 ,

Then send in the UN and forcefully remove their nukes if they’re going to be gonicidal with them. So sick of this argument being trotted out to defend what Israel is doing. Might does not make right.

Jax ,

You are fucking insane if you believe forcefully removing nukes is a good idea.

Imagine saying “might does not make right” after such a stupid statement, you should think about your words more carefully.

I don’t get how anyone can see this debate as high stakes. I feel like anyone who’s been paying any sort of attention knows who these two guys are and what they’re about. If you’re a fascist, you’re voting Trump. If you’re not, the only question is whether you’re going to vote Biden or stay home.

Also, please don’t stay home. Biden sucks, but Trump is basically openly promising the end of American democracy at this point.

suction ,

No coincidence background “patriot” wears the Deutsche Reichsflagge (Black / White / Red) as a sweater?

GreyEyedGhost ,

So not Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, or even Trinidad and Tobago, it must be a flag from nearly a century ago, if you squint real hard, and ignore the extra stripes and the fact they’re vertical instead of horizontal. It certainly can’t be because of the esthetics of broad vertical stripes and that black and white go with anything, meaning you only have to coordinate with one color. Nah, that’s unreasonable.

suction ,

Sorry I said anything to ridicule these poor MAGA people

GreyEyedGhost ,

Go with the legitimate criticisms. There are many, even in the clothing choices.

suction ,

I did. Your speculation is as good as mine.

GreyEyedGhost ,

I’m not speculating at all. I’m pointing our how much of a reach your speculation is. We can’t even be sure they’re there for Trump’s talk. That looks like a convention center, they could be there for something else. I tried to find the location this was taken, but I’m not finding it.

suction ,

Well I happened to be there as a journalist from the EU and actually tried to interview this person because she caught my attention when she gave out free replicas of SS-Ehrenring rings to the other attendants. Just instead of the skull her rings had a small Trump head. She declined my interview request because, as she put it, I looked like I was “unwertes Leben”.

So you should be really careful with your speculation and probably stick to your manga and anime, dum-dum!

GreyEyedGhost ,

speculation

You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.

suction ,

But you’re not sure? Can you ask Naruto to confirm?

GreyEyedGhost ,

First, your juvenile ad hominems and wild speculation, not to mention your poor use of language incline me to believe you aren’t a journalist, or at least a journalist that I’m not inclined to think worth reading. But feel free to prove me wrong. Where would I find this article in which you drop pearls of wisdom for the unwashed masses such as myself? Did you get pictures of these earrings that she was handing out? Did she refuse to even let you get pictures, and convince the other recipients of her goods to also shield them from your unworthy focus? And please, don’t tell me you don’t want to advertise your professional work, or that of your peers. You already mentioned it.

Also, I haven’t watched Naruto, but you apparently haven’t seen The Princess Bride.

  1. You need to be more concise. First rule of journalist school.

I don’t pretend to be a journalist. I hear presenting facts is also important, and you have yet to do that despite your claims.

suction ,

But I can’t take you seriously so I can’t be bothered?

GreyEyedGhost ,

But I’m not just talking to you, I’m also talking to the other people viewing this thread. Just like how it’s laughable to say you can’t be bothered to prove your dubious claims after engaging in communication about a subject half a dozen times over 2 days. The liklier conclusion is that they are as reasonable as your first - possibly true, but no substantive proof given.
