You seem to be criticizing me for things I haven't said, for not calling out things that bother you and for not coming to the same conclusions you do.

If you'd like my thoughts about something, ask it in a non-loaded way.

You are being deceitful again — you’ve already been told your opinion isn’t needed, especially given the fact that you’ve already made it clear where you stand on this issue.

You were provided with overwhelming evidence that Republican bigotry and policy contributed to the death of Nex after claiming “we” don’t know that they were abused — this is clearly a lie based on the evidence provided which you ignored.

You then failed to provide any counter evidence and instead chose again to engage in personal attacks to attempt to deflect from discussing actual Republican policy and behavior.

It’s that simple.

You folks should understand that the other person in an argument may not necessarily care much or at all about the subject at hand, they just enjoy arguing and have initiated the conversation to fulfill that need. Pushing peoples buttons gives some people a feeling of superiority.

Yeah, you do have a point. When someone degenerates to the level of questioning why they should respond to a link posted about Nex's suicide and the bullying there when discussing posts about that same subject brought up by the same poster while questioning if links were posted, it's clear the goal isn't meaningful discussion.

You are being decietful again — no one asked for your thoughts.

Demands evidence then criticizes others for calling him out for ignoring it.

Provides little to no counter evidence in response and instead claims “mistreatment”.

Rinse and repeat while turning a blind eye to bigotry and hate as the Republican Party spirals downward and attempts to take the whole nation with them.

Objectively speaking, when Nazis and white supremacists not only are welcome in but also lead your chosen political party you have no moral standing to lecture others about ethical policy and behavior.



This is why he doesn’t address the evidence but instead deflects and attacks those who provide it.

Trump Spurned by 30 Companies as He Seeks Bond in $454 Million Judgment





Oh well sell assets!

Yes. He should be made to sell his assets. Or if not, he gets no appeal.

Trump is trying to get Musk to bail him out. My assumption. Musk is likely dumb enough to do it.

Given that he's funding that Gina Carano lawsuit, dumb seems to be right up his alley.

After burning so much money on twitter and the Tesla stock losing a third of its value, I doubt Apartheid Clyde can just cough up half a billion bucks on short notice, either.

Ok, I literally LOL.

Also, one would think Trump's son-in-law would have funds aplenty after dealing with VIPs in Saudia Arabia.

I suspect Jared is trying to lay low.

I just finished watching this and I was more impressed than I thought I would be with Lemon. I'm glad that he actually had the courage to challenge Musk on some of the absolute BS that Musk himself spreads on Twitter. Musk got pretty flustered by the end of the interview.

Musk, much like JK Rowling, is a good example of 'wealth rots your brain'.

You guys are the best.

To think Mark Zuckerberg used to be the worst public face billionaire.

To think Mark Zuckerberg used to be the worst public face billionaire.

In terms of overall damage done, Zuckerberg is likely still worse than Musk.

[WestPhillyPunisher]

In terms of overall damage done, Zuckerberg is likely still worse than Musk.

If Musk rides to Trump’s rescue and bails him out (he’s just crazy enough to do that), he’ll replace Zuckerberg as chief social media bad guy.

A volunteer from Free Mom Hugs recently found herself at the center of a controversy stirred by Tiffany Justice, co-founder of the anti-government extremist group Moms for Liberty.

On March 7, Justice took to X (formerly Twitter) to attack the volunteer with a post that insinuated supporters of Free Mom Hugs might be “groomers” for offering “free Mom hugs” to children not their own. Right-wing extremists have used the term to falsely accuse LGBTQ+ individuals and people who support them of grooming children for sexual exploitation.

“If you are offering kids 'free Mom hugs' but you aren’t their Mom, you might be a Groomer,” Justice wrote. Her post was accompanied by a vibrant photograph of the volunteer, dressed in a kaleidoscope of rainbow colors and a Free Mom Hugs t-shirt at Atlanta’s 2023 Pride Parade.

The repeated misuse of 'grooming' by hateful bigots to paint a target on people is harmful to survivors of *actual* grooming, to say nothing of the violence that often accompanies the accusation.
