Yeah - we haven’t tapped into selective service since 1973.
Nice try.
What laws have been passed that medically impose or restrict males?The gov making abortion legal restrict alot of males from living.
Does that answer your question?
Oh right effects both sexes from living.
It def restricts men who wish to be fathers with no rights or say in the matter.

Bizarre whatabouism, but at least it aint a Trump meme. I personally don't want to be subject to the trans folks nonsensical gendering schemes or to let biological males play contact sports against women. Does that mean I want them erased?
But seriously, why can't most of you people just admit that swatting is bad? Do you support/agree with the practice? This is getting weird.
Its extra weird that the OP used a example of a leftist getting swatted and condemning it and
From that
Police are a bunch of lunitics who have never stopped a imminent threat with phone calls. Send social workers to all calls of imminent violence so we can then find a solution to the 1000's of real calls where victims and social workers are murdered.
Its a very good guarilla war tactic to win.....the war?
Qanon is the root cause of everything.
And of coarse, lgbtq people are LITTERALLY being murdered so stop making threads.
Quite the spectrum of rational thought. I want NC to start a thread saying water is wet just to see how Qanon is behind the physics of liquid.
As for me, i would think enough politicians have been involved in the attempts, doxing, and death threats that there would be swift action for tougher laws and procedures to determine a real call from fake. I hope so because (pulls microphone close) swatting is a sick evil act by anyone regardless of political affiliation. Thank you.

What i consider liberalism? There are many types. None conform with maga. Maga only touts freedom of speech so that they can spread misinformation. See; 90% of the words trump speaks, J6 and the roots of why it occurred, conspiracy-mongering conservatives who believe a cabal of pedos is controlling the dem party (it gets crazier but i'll stop there) etc etc etc etc. Oh Jewish space lasers, i have to include that.
Well liberalism history was always more of a absolute in its defense of speech. The saying " i may not agree with what you say but i defend your right to say it" was a widely known core belief. I grew up where "we must ban that rock and roll rap devil music" was used by the christian right while the ACLU defended kkk. Ect ect. The thoughts on censorship were completly reversed.
You allow people to speak so you can easily identify them. You let ideas get challenged in the open so the truth can challenge it.
Unfortunately in the cyber world those ideas can be walled off into echo chambers but that does not mean you turn to flat out censorship tactics. If its a crime..absolutley. othewise, make the words go away is extremely lazy and incredibly dangerous way to deal with a problem humans have been dealing with since we can communicate. Again, who do you trust to do it responsibly? A gov that constantly shifts its beliefs based on a 4 year election cycle. You want the liar trump helping pull those levers? While libs are cheering as bidens thumbs the scale with no regard to that threat to them. Some faceless guys with their own motives in a room at a tech platform get to do it all while manipulating terms of service that they intentionally make vague. while they enjoy power no other media gets.
16 hours ago, L Ron Burgundy said:Western society was not built on Judeo Christian values otherwise we'd be governed by the bible or the torah and slavery would be very legal. Western society took much more from the greeks than Judaism/Christianity. That's a line Shapiro and Peterson use to pump up the masses.
Specifics that Christian Nationalists push for aside from abortion are prayer in school, opposition to lgbt rights, maintaining religious monuments on public property etc. It always starts with small things then progresses. Their goal - some do not deny - is to incorporate Christianity into our government. Some of this is hyperbole but that doesn't matter.
A bit off topic I am really perplexed by the lefts hyperbolics of threat to lgbt they see everywhere. As if they are in this role that makes them the only thing standing in the way of lgbt annihilation. Meanwhile trump was the first president to recognize their right to marriage. Lgbt have existed and flourished my entire lifetime. Entire section of my city dedicated to their way of life. Parades every year with no hate or violence for decades with right christian pandering presidents taking office. Tv shows, actors, musicians even before me getting mass acceptance and fans. So now the fight boils down to a derivative of pronouns and children? Its really silly that is now the "existential threat" and " litterally killing people". The large majority are liberatrian and simply dont want it pushed on them or their family.
As for monuments and religion as a whole I agree. But you have to recognize the "new liberal" has taken on identity politics in all its forms as a religion. To the point they force workers, students ect to adhear to under penalty of punishment. A teacher should not require prayer, segregation, lifestyle or race choices. Personal beliefs or religion has no place being forced on anyone especially if they are in power over them. From talking to you i think we agree on this a bit but seems you are more concerned with the one "recognized" as a devout faith.
16 hours ago, L Ron Burgundy said:These convos are all the same to me. I point out the worst in your party. You guys point out the worst in mine. It's a bit banal. The guy you're running for president has suggested suspending the constitution. And you seem to be cool with that. Or at least not in the least indignant.
I agree. I think alot of people look past each others points. Its why i required specifics. I certainly gave them. I understand where your coming from and they are concerns for me as well. I think im just more concerned about threat in front of me and you are more concerned about a encroaching one over the horizon. For many of your points ill def be on your side if they have the same result. Im no trump fan but i am against the "woke" for reasons i explained about core beliefs. I simply dont see or heard of the issues you speak of causing significant societal issues. I have no problem admitting if i did.
Either way id rather spend time writing a novel trying to articulate points with someone to understand them then send a one sentence insult. So hopefully you dont consider our descussion a waste of time.

G.O.P. Plans to Drop Presidential Primaries in 4 States to Impede Trump Challengers
Republicans to scrap primaries and caucuses as Trump challengers cry foul

As usual billstime avoids all points made and delivers another im rubber your glue. Pluck out any info just to add a whatabout.
Ill say that is extremely fed up for GOP or DEMs to pull. Can you? Of coarse not.
I could post links of green party being removed by dems. What happened to tulsi and bernie by the DNC..on and on. You know continue the whatabouts. But there is only one authoritarian mentioned by you.
Meanwhile.
Biden truley believes deep in his soul in every vote mattering. He is LITTERALY defending the fabric of american democracy in this election.
Until it doesnt suit him that is. Then he will implement jim crow 3.0 all over democrat voters 😅

Yes, comparing Liberalism to Maga/Trumpism I find disturbing. There has been no bigger liar in the history of our country as that POS. And I have believed all politicians are liars for as far as i can remember. To say anything like that you must believe some or all of the BS he is spewing.
Well im not even sure what you consider liberalism since you havent made much of a argument on the subject. Freedom of speech, not judging others by race,wanting negotiations for peace over war. (at least in the Ukraine). Being highly skeptical of gov...read any of my posts on covid while "liberals" devoted loyalty to the CDC and actions giving gov supreme power. On and on. Beliefs i held 20 years ago. Beliefs that did not flip with the democratic party.
My first post in this thread was on how people who believe trump is dismantling deep state are pretty foolish. You push me in the devout trump role because its easier to dismiss and stereotype for your argument.
11 hours ago, L Ron Burgundy said:In terms of Christian Nationalism....I hoped my answer would suffice so i didnt have to type out a novel. It's surprising you need to have reasons spelled out on why having a religion elevated over others is wrong in our country. I'm against historical revisionism - we are a secular country period, and I certainly don't want policy or law being aligned with the Christian interpretation of morality. For Christian Nationalists, being American is closely tied to being a Christian. They often may see cultural and religious diversity as a threat to our national identity. I could go on, and on. The very idea being against the principles of our country should suffice.
Again, things you THINK will happen. Western society was built with christian values in mind. Of coarse there should be separation. That doesnt mean good qualities and values are not the basis of things you enjoy today. So with hundreds of years of history with christians as the majority, republicans ALWAYS using faith as a way to get elected and you not giving much of reasoning how its any more dangerous. Its really hard to see points that arent made. Novel or not.
11 hours ago, L Ron Burgundy said:For the bolded above, what do you want to do about misinformation? Freedom of Speech is tied in here and if you look close you'll find an alarming rate that the people that cry most about freedom of speech just want freedom to lie without consequence. Worse than J6 will happen if we don't figure something out but I dont claim to have an answer here. Curious what you think. I mentioned my feed because I had something flow through, a video showing J6 was completely faked, everything including Ashli Babbitt. It was good production value too not some POS garbage. I mention this because the comments had plenty of people believing it, and calling for revolution. That there is a problem.
I like Xs community note method the most so far but i dont personally have a account. There are alot of people with specific skill sets able to detect bs. Their knowledge should not be buried in a comment but instead easily displayed. Id also like companies to bring back (thumbs down ect) ratings. Kind of a quick check of sorts. Somthing has to be done about bots because it gives the perception of majority in info and completely negates ratings. But mostly i think a straight forward terms of service needs to be clear and concise. The country has a first ammendment and we need to navigate how to keep it in tact. Not disregard it and hand the keys to people who can manipulate information how they see fit? Do you understand what that means. My question to you is who exactly do you trust to censor you? how will you ever know when they are irresponsible with the task if you get no info telling you.

Thank you for articulating what it feels like to be a disaffected liberal Democrat. There is a growing authoritarianism on the left that is both disheartening and a bit frightening, and there are large swaths of under-40 types on the left who strongly identify as anarchists and/or Marxists, especially young women. My wife, her friends, and basically every late-millennial early Gen-Zer she teaches in her college program ascribe to this new way of thinking. Shutdown, shame and eject any heterodox thought that could possibly challenge current social justice dogma. Go watch the Evergreen State or Yale Halloween struggle session videos. That is the type of illiberalism that is inculcated in young progressives who are now taking the reins of power in our institutions. For anyone not already indoctrinated in their church, this should alarm you.
When I rant about this stuff, it has nothing to do with Trump or implicate any sort of support for him or right-wing politics in general. Just because they happen to be correct about Woke insanity, doesn't mean I believe they are correct about much of anything else. As far as I'm concerned, Trump has fascist tendencies and I do not trust him with what remains of our democracy. I will continue to support traditional liberal Democratic ideals, but I won't sit silently while the party is hijacked by formerly fringe weirdos.
I think that was the main draw to biden. A classic democrat who everyone remembered had classic liberal views. Maybe going back to that would restore the party and its values but truth be told. There is power in radicalism. Look at how much power the students now hold over teachers. Say the wrong pronoun or have the wrong view on a lesson and you risk your livlihood. Who wouldnt, especially young, love to hold those cards. It should be no suprise the party itself would embrace the "fringe"
What i dont understand is what the admistrations have to gain. Kids being brats and wanting power over the teacher is pretty normal but the admistration backing it and going against the staff? The gov allowing all police to be painted with one singular brush until it is politically inconvenient regardless of effects. Im not against non violent criminals recieving some leniency. Im not against changes to immigration laws to make it easier but now entering illegally isnt even concidered a crime to dems. Im still against racism in all forms including against whites. Its somthing to see when liberals no longer view the teaching of MLK of content of character to focus SOLEY on race only to call others racist and im def skeptical against the gov regardless which side is in charge.
the democrats have gone to far and anyone who doesnt see it never held liberal principals. They were just on a team. Cheering with poms poms who they root for regardless of ideas being twisted and corrupted. As long as its winning against the other side.
Maybe its because i live in a deep blue state so all i see day to day is liberal effects but i am also not hearing compelling arguments about the right that come close to comparison.
I saw this a few minutes ago and think its fitting for the thread.

Your wording was problematic only in the sense that what you thought you were saying, and what you actually said, was not the same thing. If it helps you in some small way to assume I didn't understand what you didn't say, I'm happy to shoulder that burden.
We can agree that Jan 6 was a stain on our nation. Interestingly, you stumbled upon something that has been quite troubling to me. You wrote:
Thankfully they are observably stupid so you can usually see them coming from far off.
If you, a guy who can't remember from one post to another what he wrote, can "see them coming from far off", how did a bunch of crazies overrun the Capitol in less time than it takes to get through the gate(s) at a Bills home game? And, why are three years in with so many questions unanswered as to who was responsible for security, how they completely missed the warning signs even you can see, and what has been done to ensure it never happens again?
Id personally like to know the difference between a fundamental attack on our democracy and a very mild ignorable seige on the WH. One that burned a historic church until our president is sent in a bunker. I remembered alot of laughing and mocking of the event.
is the security required to prevent the perpetrators the only difference here? Seems like it. If so, not alot of attention on the people responsable for the complete lack of providing it on JAN 6th.
Guess trump should have had lax security and have segments open the gates the same way. It might not be so easily ignored then.

You really comparing older liberals to MAGA? That's....gross. If all you have is cultural BS then you don't really have much. What you can and can't say in the workplace? I mean, are you upset you can't call anyone and everyone anything that pops into your head? Again, that isnt much and frankly I don't care. I mostly agree with the sentiment, some of these changes regarding sex/gender don't make sense to me. But government hardly controls that.
I talk about what liberalism stood for. How it no longer resembles itself and has flipped its values. Instead you pull out the comparison to MAGA. Its gross?
The fact i can go to a store today and see isles that have to be locked up due to lax crime laws and normalization of looting. I Read repeatedly as those same soft punishments on crime that release someone on the street who ends up finally taking lives.
Immigration flooding cities where nyc mayor is slashing budgets, less libraries and police. Coming to a city near me, and has...read about the migrants delivered to my side of the state. Again with no federal action to stop the problem they caused and seemigly condone.
https://abc7ny.com/nyc-asylum-seekers-erie-county-migrant-shelters-ny/13745257/
"Eric County Executive Mark Poloncarz referenced two sex crimes involving migrants in his decision to request New York City no longer send migrants to the county. Poloncarz said Mayor Eric Adams agreed to the pause."
I can go on. I did. But this isnt small "cutural bs" just because you do not have the capacity to care about the effects or dont believe they are true. These are major shifts in society whether you acknowledge them or not. Then when i ask for a comparison, i get the below.
20 hours ago, L Ron Burgundy said:In terms of Christian Nationalism there is a lot wrong with it, and most of it comes from the crazies on your side but I'll boil it down to one thing because nothing else should be necessary. Religion should never mix with politics in the US. We do not have a state religion, so favoring one over others is against everything the founding fathers stood for. It's antithetical to the very idea of our country. Everyone that mentions god a lot that's in politics is grifting/manipulating.
So i give examples and get "these things should not mix"
no real examples of negatives happening today that i asked for. I gave you abortion/ contraception banning. Got anything substantial besides i dont like this If it ends up more in gov policy.
If not, what are you really standing on?
20 hours ago, L Ron Burgundy said:Last, about freedom of speech. Take a good look at those that gripe about freedom of speech the most. You'll find a lot of them just want the freedom to lie. Since Elon took over X my feed has been bombarded with right wing garbage. The people that gripe the most about it have conspiracy laden BS they either have said or constantly say easily found. You saying conspiracy has lost meaning is, well, meaningless. People believe crazy, insane shiite. Yeah once in a blue moon conspiracies end up being reality. If you're batting .010 you shouldn't be proud of that.
Im not sure what you get in your feed. I also dont care. I think your a adult who can make a logical distinction between bs and truth. what you think should be directed toward X to make ignoring authors or topics easier. But thats not what the left wants. They want to decide for me. They dont seem concerned about gov encroachment in those decisions for others. They think words are violece and every voice that opposess theirs should no longer have one...for our saftey. I dont see those calls from the right. Very liberal of them.
Just not seeing the threat you do from that side and you have not articulated much substance as real world effects. It mostly sounds like fear of what may happen.

I agree with a lot of this. I'll expand that I think most posters here don't like the extremes to the right/left. Most of the arguing on the left thinking the crazies on the right have more control of their side and vice versa. I dislike the far left as much as any conservative. The difference is I only see those people (far left) online. You won't believe me but they truly are a small, small portion of dem voters. While conservatives.....Qanon has hundreds of thousands of....whatever the F you call them, fans/advocates i guess. You have religious zealots openly advocating Christian Nationalism. Conspiracy theorists EVERYWHERE. Reps have to say crazy shiite just to get elected now. It's humorous to me the people that say the far left has more inflluence than the far right.
Also part of what has our trajectory screwy, I'm not saying bad or good there's a lot of both, is still covid related. While we are in good shape mostly other countries we trade with are not. That has a negative impact on us. So it's a little unfair those that absolve orange guy for the economy post covid blame Biden 100% for something like inflation (biggest complaint I think right now). He is not blameless but worldwide we are doing well. Rant over.
This is where we truley disagree. Who has more power/zealots and is activley putting in policies that are hurting this country.
Christian extremism you think has power? What exactly are they doing? Trying to abolish abortion? I see that as a issue because its gone extreme. Sure. Trying to end contraceptives is nuts. Asking for a timeframe..not so much. Alot of the other things we are talking about are simply opposing liberal ideology..which is now considered right wing extreme. Easy to fear basic things like children books when the entire apparatus is proclaiming its fascism. Rated R movies have been a thing a loong time. Wheres the outrage been. Ect ect ect.
The crazies on the left "are very small"? Ok. Go to work and just openly talk about 2 genders with co workers. Its just a scientific fact that deserves descussion/debate? You comfortable enough to keep your job? That "a few" people in your sphere alone. How about if someone starts kicking in your door. You feel ok putting a few in the door to protect your family. Im in NY and im terrified ill spend the rest of my life in jail because of my "duty to flee". Large chunks of american stores have to close and lock items up due to lax crime laws. Liberal hatred of police has major shortfalls in recruiting of officers. Who in the world wants to do that now just to be hated and identified as evil for simply wearing a uniform. Immigration is swallowing budgets that was used needed for actual citizens and THE FEDERAL GOV wont even help its own blue cities saying they can take no more.
These things arent right wing conspiracies or just online, even if your not directly effected...yet. these arent miniscule fractions of a cult to be ignored. Im stuck in a blue state, i know very well the effects they have.
Now what is it particularly that christian nationsist are doing that is more of a threat to day to day? Serious question. Im not seeing it. Conspiracy theorist has lost all meaning, especially after covid. What you really mean is people skeptical of main stream narratives. It used to be the left who fought for free speech. Who did not trust corporation paid media and definitely not the gov.
Somewhere that flipped. Are you old enough to remember what liberalism stood for? Do you see how corrupt it has become? This isnt a small portion of the party like you think. Its completely changed.
Trump plays into anti establishment Crowd. That used to be the "hope and change" of the democrat's. Now its there #1 threat.

He had four years to dismantle the deep state, but instead, he expanded it.
He aims to eliminate anyone who doesn't align with MAGA.
He seeks to erase any media that doesn't sugarcoat MAGA.
He exhibits characteristics of fascism.
I agree. Speaking on his track record for anyone to believe he will do that is a bit naive. He prob will spend and expand and bomb.....but thats just maintaning our trajectory. Exactly what we have going on now.
I also dont think you are at all concerned about what hes talking about. Instead you just root for the exact inverse type of fascism. I mean right wing terrorism is the number 1 threat to this country. The ULTRA MAGA, the supremists are the REAL issue. Right? Seems both sides want to eliminate their rivals. I dont like commies marxists or q anon extremists in my country. How bout you?
Erase media that doesnt sugar coat maga? You give alot of power to one guy. He cant even erase twitter when hes got truth social.

Everyone who is in any way objective can easily say the trial was nothing more then a formality.
The city paid out before the trial started..openly seeding the outcome of wrong doing/ guilty verdict before it even began.
Who in the world thought a fair trial was ever going to be determined in Minneapolis? Every day jurors were reminded what their house would look like if they did anything other then give the mob their flesh.
Why was extremly critical info withheld from court even though it was obviously relevent. EG was the tactic used standard issue and taught to all recruits? If so how is one responsible for doing what was trained following protocal. Floyds drug history when the defense main claim was saying it was a OD!?
You can attempt manslaughter charges on chauvin but to charge and convict every officer that was at the call was really removing the mask that this was about justice and not a public execution.
Chauvin was just stabbed in jail. Interesting timing. Im guessing he wont make it to see a appeals court to look into any of the legitimate above questions. He gets out then cities burn again. Cameras stop working and ingrained narratives stay intact as is. Just a racist cop who got what he deserves.

I think if your a head coach coming from a discipline. That segment should be the the pride of the team as extra attention and knowledge at the top position is integrated.
13 sec. Arizona. Minnesota, New england this year going length of the field in short time. Now tampa going the length. Add a 2 point. Then being in a position to win it with a hail mary where the ball isnt defended? Alot of hearts being ripped out mult times a year.
Come on man. Can never be comfortable to pull out a win without multiple score leads.
Plain and simple our prevent end of game senarios are really bad. D plays good unless they absolutely HAVE to stop a drive. Its got to change.

We don’t have an adolescent child holding the nuclear football Biden with all of his faults is not going to put us into World War III. You can calm down a little bit. I have a son also and I don’t have any expectations of him being drafted in any kind of way, the only way that that would happen is if he decided to go into the guard or active duty military but that’s not going to happen.
Everyone can have biases. Im just objectively looking at our position and dont think i suggested anything out of the realm of weakness or advantages our enemies can clearly see. Oil reserves depleted. Money and munitions depleted. Major weakness for infiltration on southern boarder. Focus shifted to 2 other stages gives opportunities.
Maybe you should check your bias to declare so easily we are not going to be "put" in WW3.
Many wars are usually not a choice that can be made by the participants.

There will be no draft
If you say so. This isnt shaking out to be the US vs a underprepared under funded enemy like iraq or Afghanistan. Both by the way we left in no better condition not achieving a tagible victory for us or its people. No disrespect to your service.
Our country has depleted our money, oil, munitions almost bidens entire term. Throw a caple adversary to our west already fully in our current enemies alignment with territory it has repeatedly said it will take by force first oportunity.

Israel and the Slaughter in Gaza
in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Posted · Edited by Buffarukus
Ill ask a question. Maybe its been answered in the many pages of the thread.
Why does it seem that all the surrounding muslim nations do not seem to support Palestine other then militarily? Why arent refugees easily able to seek refuge in their territory? Regardless of the land dispute i dont think Israel is against them recieving outside support to build up their schools and economy to become prosperous? Am i wrong?
From my very nieve view it seems that Palestine is used as a proxy against the west. The only interest is support towards that end and not much more. There are some mega wealthy muslim nations that i think could easily, at the very least, improve the living standards of its citizens.
Maybe Israel blocks money for schools and buisnesses or quality of life. If true then i certainly agree its a open air prison. If not then people need to ask themselves who really is condoning Palestinian suffering. Blaming solely the people that are their sworn enemies, and not the surrounding nations that are "alies" doesnt seem very logical.
I never hear that argument made.
