    Another thread in which we discover that socialist Glenn Greenwald really, really likes that he can make money off feeding the right-wing media what it wants.

     

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/apr/26/bolsonaro-accused-of-inciting-hatred-with-gay-paradise-comment

     

    “If you want to come here and have sex with a woman, go for your life,” Bolsonaro reportedly told journalists in the capital, Brasília. “But we can’t let this place become known as a gay tourism paradise. Brazil can’t be a country of the gay world, of gay tourism. We have families,” Bolsonaro added, according to the Brazilian magazine Exame.

    The comments – made during a breakfast meeting with Brazilian reporters – sparked an immediate reaction from LGBT campaigners.

    “This is not a head of state – this is a national disgrace,” said David Miranda, a leftist congressman and LGBT activist. Miranda said the president’s remarks simultaneously endangered members of Brazil’s LGBT community by “putting a target on their backs” and promoted the sexual exploitation of Brazilian women.

    “He is staining the image of our country in every imaginable way,” Miranda said.

     

    Hmm, David Miranda. Where have I heard that name before?

    For my entire career, I have always been a leftist in people’s eyes. It is only a fairly recent thing that some Americans accuse me of being a Republican mouthpiece or a pro-Trump journalist.

     

    J'accuse.

    You seem to have a thing for gay people whose politics you don’t like. Very, very weird post in a thread about censorship in Brazil.

    And? Are my posts fighting about the pandemic?  That is what I was commenting on, that’s the direction this has taken. 
     

     

    if your shelves weren’t bare in stores around you it wasn’t because of anything your politicians did that’s for sure. You were mostly just lucky and you should get on your knees and thank the almighty and be thankful!

     

    i talked to a friend of mine today I haven’t seen for a while, came up from North Carolina for a visit. She had 3 family members die from COVID and 1 in the hospital for 3 months. Stfu and be thankful!

    Thank you for being willing to play the role of referee/hall monitor. You seem to enjoy that. To each his own.

    EVERYONE knows this.

     

    Even the ones pretending that they don't.

     

     

    A $100 grocery haul in 2019 costs almost $140 today — nearly 40 percent more for the same common items, causing consumers to “become creative to cope” with crippling inflation.

     

    According to a Wall Street Journal analysis of NielsenIQ data on the prices of everyday foods such as meat, vegetables, starches, and snacks, Americans are facing a dramatic increase across all categories.

     

    “A Benjamin just isn’t what it used to be,” the Journal’s Stephanie Stamm and Jesse Newman wrote, alongside graphs showing that the average $100 grocery list now costs 36.5 percent more compared to five years ago.

     

    This means that in order to spend the same amount on food as they did in 2019, shoppers would have to place almost $37 worth of items back on the shelves before checking out.

    Pretty sure Frankish has proactively disproved the WSJ with his Thanksgiving meal cost per head. No information on what he is paying for gas over the last several months.

    Is that one of the "can you spot the trans person" photos, erroneously posted here? Because I think I just spotted one.

    Very kind of you to post in billstime’s personal sandbox thread. Sadly, your tongue in cheek comment regarding the attractiveness of transpersons makes YOU, according to his standards, a hate filled FREAK. No good deed goes unpunished!

    What do you want them to say? What would be a balm?

    Say nothing. Enact and enforce laws that don’t allow 21-time arrestees to be on the street. Of course, people like you would bellow something about skin color in a case like this. 

     

    The left is not bashful about demonstrating. Maybe it’s like a balm for them. Just not in this case because the cop knew what he signed on for. Right?

    I ask again, why are republicans so up in arms about this one specific, isolated case? Why are they using his death for their own agenda?

    Why aren’t democrats up in arms about the case of a 21-time arrestee offing a cop? I guess Hochul was. Biden, Clinton, Obama and their devotees not so much.

    He was referring to the fact that it’s been a recognized day since 2010.

    What makes you think this? Are you assuming so or did the White House communications crew have to issue yet another clarification for him? Do you honestly believe the old boy had any hand in the issuing of the proclamation? If so, do you really think he knew what the text of the proclamation was? Other defenders of Biden have declared a young staffer is responsible for the proclamation.

    You want me to tear my clothes and pull my hair and wail in the street?

     

    Why are Repubs using his death, specifically, for their political agenda? Police are killed in the line of duty quite often in America, unfortunately. 

    No. You’ve expressed yourself quite clearly on where you stand relative to a 21-time arrestee murdering a police officer. As you have expressed yourself so clearly I note that you have nothing to say about the career criminal involved. Nice. 
     

    Here’s something you will probably learn once you have a little more life experience - sometimes it’s better to say nothing.

    I’m not shrugging my shoulders. I can be saddened while also recognizing he was doing his duty. Same goes for the Capitol police, they did their duty preventing the cancerous traitor filth from attacking our democracy. 

    Yes, your initial “he knew what he signed up for” post is draped with sadness.
     

    You posted a disgusting comment. Better to own it than try to worm your way around it.

    Do police not have dangerous jobs they sign up for in the line of duty?

    Your takeaway from a murdered law enforcement officer leaving behind a wife and child is to shrug your shoulders and be disgusted by people that are upset over it. Good for you. 
     

    Something tells me you have never expressed a similar sentiment regarding capitol police on duty Jan 6. It’s what being rigidly aligned to a political party does to someone. Effing pathetic.

    The Republican party has become a full-fledged anti-sex movement

     

    "The US supreme court justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas cited the Comstock Act, named after the 19th-century anti-vice campaigner Anthony Comstock, in last week’s case about access to the abortion pill mifepristone. If you don’t know who Anthony Comstock was or what his law did, that might not have alarmed you. But it should have."

     

    "Comstock was reputed to be driven by religious shame over ***** to become his era’s most extreme anti-sex crusader. He rose to prominence in the early 1870s, when he convinced Congress to make it a crime to advertise, sell or mail contraceptives or give out contraceptive information, even orally, or to mail anything “immoral” – a term whose vagueness allowed widespread prosecution, including of a feminist newspaper reporting on sexual abuse whose prominent publishers, Victoria Woodhull and Tennessee Claflin, he got sent to prison. Like modern-day rightwingers he was a book-burner, and he boasted that he had driven 15 people to suicide."

     

    "While the backlash to Roe’s June 2022 overturning has been spectacular, with Democratic election victories and blue-state legislation strengthening reproductive rights, that doesn’t spare women in red states from the horrific consequences of the decision.

     

    At this point we all know they include prosecution for miscarriages suspected of being abortions, let alone for actual abortions, and lack of timely care from medical providers, who, fearful of prosecution themselves, sometimes wait for miscarrying patients to go critical from infection or loss of blood before offering care. "

     

    "..[I]n May 2023, the Heritage Foundation declared on social media, “Conservatives have to lead the way in restoring sex to its true purpose, & ending recreational sex & senseless use of birth control pills.”

     

    "The Project 2025 agenda for a rightwing coup, should Trump win this November, declares that the USAid office of gender equality and women’s empowerment “should remove all ... language on USAid websites, in agency publications and policies, and in all agency contracts and grants that include” terms including “gender and gender equality” and should also remove references to “abortion”, “reproductive health” and “sexual and reproductive rights”"

     

     

    I thought everyone was talking about sex because gay people exist. I guess you were talking out your ear with that one. I can’t keep up.
