The differences the extreme left, doesn’t have a chokehold on its party like the conservatives
And if you dispute that you’re in a cult
This post epitomizes what is wrong with our country. We can't keep calling each other nazis and cultists when we disagree on stuff.
As for the OP, yes, there is internal strife on the right just like there is on the left. Those weren't Republicans protesting before the SOTU, just like Langford was mouthing "that's true" while Biden was chastising Republicans over that border bill.

Poor baby it is what it is
John, do you have anything of substance to add to the conversation?
Personally, I think his speech had nothing to do with making the country better, it was a great big political add. Nothing sells better to dem and undecided voters than "let somebody else pay for it".
It was kind of funny how he was complaining about rich folks not paying their share of taxes when his son was indicted for not even paying his legally required amount.

How much in US taxpayer dollars go to Elon Musk?
Clearly, you're not familiar with public companies and SEC rules. Elon Musk's proposed compensation package was the largest in history, and the judge was acting in the best interest of Tesla's shareholders.
You should be upset with Richard Tornetta for bringing the suit objecting to the pay package for Musk — who until last week held the title of richest man in the world — was filed in 2018 by Wilmington lawyer Gregory Varallo on behalf of Richard J. Tornetta, a Tesla shareholder and Norristown native who formerly played drums in a thrash-metal band, the Lords of Correction.
Pay package was excessive, but the Tesla board put it through. If I own Tesla I am showing up to the shareholders meeting and demanding answers. Did you see the scumbag lawyers are trying to get paid $290k an HOUR? These are your real criminals.

The guy is amplifying antisemitic messages and platforming Nazis.
Antisemitic incidents are at an all-time high, the ADL reports
List of antisemitic incidents in the United States - Wikipedia
Where in here is the Nazi amplification? This seems mostly directed at the ADL, which tends to paint any point that doesn't paint Judaism as perfect as antisemitic. It's the SPLC wearing yamika.
Do you think what the Jews are doing in Gaza is good for the world?

You might be paid more, etc.. but the Trump tax cuts did the exact opposite.
The Trump tax cuts lessened taxes on overseas profits of corporate America, encouraging them to shift jobs and facilities to lower-tax countries. The reduction in corporate tax rate also made it attractive to keep profits offshore, promoting job offshoring.
Because I know you will ask for proof - so - look up these three provisions in the actual tax act.
Territorial Tax System
Reduced Tax Rate on Foreign Profits
Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax (BEAT)
And if the Trump tax cut did incentive keeping jobs and profits onshore - why is this act needed:
Here, read this and then let's discuss tomorrow.

You aren't entirely wrong here, but I have a few things to take care of before I can give you a full reply. Thanks for the reasonable discussion.

No idea - but you know what's interesting about Trump's tax cuts?
While personal tax provisions will revert to 2017 levels, the corporate tax cuts do not expire.
I wonder why.
Trump is *always* looking out for you, 10.
I am not surprised that you have no idea. Listen, I work for a company. Those tax cuts incent keeping business onshore and gives my company the ability to pay me higher wages and bonuses. It also makes it possible for us to invest back into our business, creating opportunities for new revenue. That increased revenue and salary are taxed.

But we could afford those tax cuts....
Is this a question? A statement? Which tax cuts do you hate, Trump's? Many of them are set to expire next year, do you think Biden extend them if he wins?

How this bartender became an elected official I will never know. These idiots continue to vote for her even though she isn't qualified to run a lemonade stand.
Disagree, and I find this post offensive.
As a former bartender, a good Old Fashioned is much harder to make than mixing Countrytime and water. She is FULLY qualified to run a lemonade stand.

Sure, we are almost dead, or whatever
So you want to raise taxes to pay off debt?
We need to cut national spending across the board. Pols on both sides have been shameful with our nation's coffers, and it's time to fix it, as it's not sustainable.

You’re okay with Nazis?Dude you think everyone right of you is a Nazi, you are personally diluting the term.
I will say that I hate the viewpoints of actual Nazis, but respect their right to free speech if its not directly promoting physical violence. Chomsky had a good quote about it, IIRC.

Gee I wonder whyElon Musk Is Turning Twitter Into a Haven for Nazis

Elon is just as bad as QANON.
I guess Q is better than Ole Adolph. But why hate the guy because you disagree with his politics? Yet you consume the bejeezus out of his platform. These childish left and right wing purity tests are really damaging our country.

Really? The median worldwide income is $2,800 per year according to Giving What We Can. That means half the households in America makes more than 25 times the median worldwide income. Are we going to cry about our first world problems in this stupid football column? If you don’t like your job get a new one. These modern Roman gladiators enter this profession eyes open. Sex, fame, glory and riches. Oh my boo hoo.
You ok Jimmy?

I think you're right. I think that a lot of gay/trans material gets a pass because it is considered under the rubric of making kids feel like they're not alone, even if it crosses the line into what is definitely age-inappropriate.
I have no problem with parents (moms, if you will) getting involved and trying to influence what school libraries have on the shelves, or at least making sure that those materials are age appropriate. But as for this specific group - Moms for Liberty - yes, I believe at least at the start it was a classic astro-turf (not grassroots) group, and that it's primary purpose is to publicize liberal overreach (and as such, to try to swing those all-important suburban moms toward Republicans) rather than to improve true education for kids.
That's where all of these grass roots groups end up anyway, so what's the difference?

Challenge to do what?
I am saying that there is an underlying belief here, and that without that belief many of these comments make zero sense.
I challenged you to do first hand research on gay pron and report your findings, ya dufus. Or are you a bigot who hates LGBTQ?
I am kidding, obviously. To your point,
I am curious what the rate of what qualifies as pron to MFL in the school libraries falls along the straight/gay lines. If I had to bet it's disproportionately weighted toward gay. But maybe not? Who can even answer that question?

I had access (not through, umm, official channels) only to straight pr0n.
Which, I assume, is why I am straight.
Which brings me to my question: underlying all the storm and fury about exposing kids to "gay pr0n" isn't there a fear that your kids are going to be turned gay?
Assuming you are straight, do you really believe that you could be gay today if you found a stash of gay pr0n in your brother's closet?
Why don't you do some deep research on. the topic for a few months and then get back to us.

Yes, that too. So let's add that to the question - "other than demonstrated medical reasons or well-established religious exemptions."
