Maybe I'm a dinosaur that hasn't evolved to understand the new English language, but the example they gave seems to disprove their point.

The evidence doesn't have to actually prove their point for it to be unquestionable science

"One would think their core argument would be to eliminate sex segregated sports entirely, rather than fixating on transwomen being accepted in women's sports."
The first reply I see makes the point.  Just get rid of all gender differences and mix everyone up.  Then men pretending to be women wouldn't be an issue. 
Of course, they know this and therefore won't do it.

The progressive left "true believers" are getting more and more insane...
 
Big thing around here is "Trump is going to monitor my vagina!"
 
Okay... What the bleep?
 
Frankly, if "conservatives" would just leave abortion and gay marriage alone and concentrate on the money, and waste of same... But it is like they WANT to give the lefties ammo...

And the Speaker of the House just did an interview with George Stephanopoulos.  :facepalm:

Seriously, why the hell does ANYONE from the GOP even acknowledge this hyperpartisan Clintonista? Could you imagine Nancy Pelosi or any other democrat being dumb enough to sit down for an interview by Karl Rove, Mike Pompeo, or Stephen Miller?

Trump won in 2016. And again in 2024. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

"Conservatives" don't have to mention it at all.  Leftists would still claim they said something and make it a boogeyman issue. 

I have heard democrats say Republicans want to get rid of social security and I haven't heard anyone even talk about reform since the 2000's.  Conservatives do NOT help themselves by worrying about what the media or democrats will think of them.  IMO, those are the type of Republicans a lot of the base hates. 

I think I heard Trump asked about abortion bans by the media the other day and he just said they will leave it to the states.

I don't leave abortion alone because I think it is killing people.

Think that would make a difference to people who actively search for something new to be offended by every day? No they would merely transfer that energy to something else.

Why would they bother to change what they're offended by?  Trump goes nuts and says he wants the government to pay for IVF and Harris still claims he calls IVF murder.

Truth is irrelevant in political combat.

I don't believe this is true though.

Trump has explicitly said he's not going to touch abortion, and would veto any federal abortion legislation that crossed his desk, and the leftists are all in on "Trump Abortion Ban"  "Trump will institute a nationwide ban on abortion".

Your premise may have been true in the 90's, but now they'll just lie about it.

Look at the way the lefties are claiming "Project 2025" is a Trump plan, even though it came from somewhere OTHER than Trump's campaign and he's explicitly said he has nothing to do with it. Every time a leftie says Trump will follow that, the response should be "You mean the way Kamala will be following the Communist Manifesto?"

First of all, check your facts. The Right has almost completely surrendered to fake marriage. Normie holdouts like myself get no representation.

We've been hearing your message for decades, even though it's consistently the Left that wages culture war. The GOP tends to ignore those issues until the Left forces them. At this point, the Left's cultural agenda (or anti-cultural agenda) is getting really unpopular. Republicans can win by capitalizing on that. See Glenn Youngkin and Ron DeSantis.

Also, culture drives politics. Our broken, baby-killing, marriage-shredding culture is what's breaking our politics.

Yeah.  Abortion is popular, but in my opinion that's the most unethical position Trump has taken.

I think Trump is going to lose the election.

I wasn't commenting on the morality of Trumps position.

I was just refuting Bogie's claim that if the "conservatives " would just stay away from the cultural issues, the left would not have ammo to use.  Trump is staying away, and the left is still taking shots.   A lot of shots.

Not that Trump is really conservative,  but he's the Red guy we got.

Whether it's the right or wrong position, I think it actually is ethical.  Trump's position was to overturn RvW and take abortion out of the feds' hands and put it back to the states.  Mission accomplished.  A federal abortion ban right on the heels of that would be hypocritical.

Supposed to be someone demonstrating using a towel in defense against a knife.  Judging by the accent, I am assuming Europe. 

I would think any self respecting knife wielder would cut up their arm then continue in on their body.  Or just grab the towel. 

Of course, if the towel was wet, it might be deadly.   =)



I was trying to find this on youtube and found a lot of videos showing better ways to use towels or other garments.  Most of them appeared to make a lot more sense than this one.
