Progressives, part 3...

Here we go again with WaPo breaking a huge story based on "two anonymous sources" that a grand jury has been convened to charge Trump.

This is like Christmas for the tanking CNN ratings that they'll get to speculate and make wild claims, incontestable and unverifiable, for at least the next 6 months.  Really feels like ground hog day, again.

It won't surprise me if the Trump and his organization aren't charged, legitimately, for a variety of financial/tax crimes.  Real estate conglomerates engage in a lot of shady stuff.  But it will be curious to see just how politically motivated other aspects are.

Ask QO and Spock. As far as I can tell, there the ones on here that regularly comb the Post and CNN. I'd guess the rest pay no attention. 

How embarrassing to fly the flag of this Marxist organization at US embassies. 

embarrassing to virtue signal for a terrorist group

There will be no let up in the witch hunts until the left is assured he is not running for president; the personal hatred is off the charts.  At least The People now know of the depths of the left-wing corruption in the DC sewer and the deep state media.

Ehhh, don't forget Jared Kushner's dad had like a 10 year sentence.  So it does happen.  And what's being talked about as far as fraud related to valuing/statement of assets, is relatively common practice AND illegal.  Just complicated and lots of gray areas that usually don't have much interest in pursuing.

So it's possible this is both completely justifiable while also being political.  And Trump brought it on himself by not releasing his tax returns.

Moral of the story is, if you have a history of shady business dealings (as many do in international real estate), then probably not a great idea to run for POTUS.

If biological girls can and did compete in boys wrestling, then there should be nothing wrong with transgender males competing against other biological males.

I can't remember what the Olympic committees have said about this.  I do know, at that level, athletes will do crazy things to compete.  Remember a survey years ago, not long after the Ben Johnson scandal, and something like 75% of athletes would take a supplement with a significant risk of DEATH in 10 years if it helped them win.

Girls wrestled with boys because their was no sanctioned girls wrestling.  That changes next year with OHSAA sanctioned girls wrestling season.  We will see if a boy decides to cross over and wrestle with them.

Your first argument doesn’t does not make sense, but I can’t tell if you’re serious. As for the olympics, there is a weight lifter that I think they’re letting compete (I forget what country). I will be rooting for him, so that women start getting angry at such a stupid idea. 

Pretty fucked. Same reason pronouns are dumb Ptown. They relish in this dumb shit.

This is really stupid. I'm sorry if it hurts your feelings that some people are not attracted to fat people. Plenty of people are, hence preference. It is not "fat-phobic" to have a preference on the body type of the opposite sex. You are doing yourself zero favors with this video and come off as an entitled asshole. Nobody owes you a date.

The kicker is, she's not unattractive. But she's absolutely insane. The eyes do not lie.

"You're fat-phobic!"

"No, I just don't want to pay your dinner bills.".

You take her to the buffet.

Being fat and obese is a choice.  Not liking her for her choices is like not liking the local heroin dealer.

Damn the writer needs therapy not a pen. Moving to Texas I can tell you Covid is over in Dallas. We went to a food hall on Friday and it was shoulder to shoulder standing room only packed with people eating and drinking. Not one mask anywhere in the place it was refres

It’s June, so all the brands are adding pride flags to their social media avatars. Except for their Middle East affiliate accounts. Clockwork.

I wonder why they aren't putting flags up on their Middle East Social Media accounts?
