You are an ignorant man, I use the term ‘man’ painfully. I hope ‘Frump’ kicks you’re ‘Truth Social’ account to the curb as well as yourself. After all, reading a Gay Magazine must violate some Trump Code. You’re obviously a Republican. Being a Gay Republican is like being a Jewish Nazi, it makes no sense…
Bosch
Shaver, if everything we know about Trump isn’t enough to deter idiots, then it doesn’t really matter what the Biden campaign says, does it? This double agent tried to overthrow your government and you still stan for him like you’ve had a lobotomy.

As someone else has said about Matt Schlapp: You’re not exonerated if your insurance company paid half a million dollars to settle the lawsuit. I bet the premiums are going up, that is, if they still have insurance.
Could the Count of Monte Crisco’s third run for the presidency wind up with him losing at the 1964 Goldwater level? Everything seems to be pointing to that.

Donald Trump, Blasphemous Bible Thumper
March 30, 2024, 7:00 a.m. ET
(excerpt)
”On this holy weekend, one man is taking the Resurrection personally.
Donald Trump is presenting himself as the Man on the Cross, tortured for our sins. “I consider it a great badge of courage,” he tells crowds. “I am being indicted for you.” Instead of Christ-like redemption, he promises Lucifer-like retribution if resurrected.
In January, he put up a video on Truth Social about how he is a messenger from God, “a shepherd to mankind.”
Trump is, as the nuns who taught me used to say, “a bold, brazen piece.” He is a miserable human who cheated on his wives, cheats at golf, cheats at politics, incites violence, targets judges and their families and looked on, pleased, as thugs threatened to hang his actually pious vice president.
Yet, more and more, Trump is wallowing in his Messiah complex.”
abfab
“All Americans need a Bible in their home, and I have many,” Trump barked. “It’s my favorite book.” Maybe the Bible has replaced that Hitler book Trump’s ex-wife said he kept by his bed. But it’s all a scam. Running for president is about enriching himself, just as when he peddled NFTs, steaks, ties, suits, bath towels, vodka, water, office chairs, Trump University and mug-shot mugs. He even sold pieces of the suit he was wearing when he took the mug shot.
“I want to have a lot of people have it,” Trump said of his Bible. “You have to have it for your heart, for your soul.”
abfab
Just as the Israelites melted their ornaments and jewelry to make the calf, Trump is trading tacky products for gilt to pay gazillions in obligations. After his $399 golden “Never Surrender High-Top Sneaker,” Trump is selling a $99 “Victory” cologne for “movers, shakers and history makers” with “a crisp opening of citrus blends into a cedar heart, underpinned by a rich base of leather and amber, crafting a commanding presence.” A gold bust of Trump tops the bottle. (“Victory” perfume for women comes in a Miss Universe-shape bottle.)

I like and appreciate the links to other stories on other pages. It’s a lot easier to scan and see what is interesting and then I can just click on that and get the full story. The way you currently present this is much more interesting and less time consuming than having to read thru volumes of information that I am not really interested in, but can quickly get the info on things that interest me. Please keep up the good work!! I appreciate you!

I haven’t heard what the Dems/Reps are saying to get people to vote for them, but I do (somehow) agree with ShaverC in that it’s important that BOTH parties give voters more than just “we are not the other side”.
It’s like here in the UK, I’m pretty sure that everybody feels the Conservatives need to be replaced at the next election (and polling indicates they easily will be), but voters also want to hear what Labour plans to do, and how Labour plans to improve the country. At the moment, their entire campaign is “Tories have been bad. We aren’t the Tories, vote us”. And again, I’m like “But tell me why to vote for you; don’t just tell me why not to vote for the Tories. Why you instead of the Liberal Democrats, or the Greens, or an Independent?”.
And that’s what I think it’s important happens in America too (if it’s not already happening; as I say, I’ve not heard the campaign speeches); ALL parties, and Independents, need to be saying why the electorate should vote for them – and it should go deeper than just “because we’re not the Republicans” or “We’re not the Democrats”.
Diplomat
Listen to Biden’s State of the Union speech he gave a few weeks back. That will help you fill in the blanks.
ShaverC
That’s exactly the problem with politics in the US right now. People refuse to believe their “side” is not perfect, so they pretend that Biden doesn’t have dementia and that the democrats are printing money like crazy. If you mention either of those, they say you’re worse than H*tler and of course the classic “racist”.
abfab
Exactly.
dbmcvey
I suspect you’re not hearing what Dems are saying because you’re not paying attention, but then, Shaver lives here (or so he claims) and he’s not paying attention.
dbmcvey
And Shaver, we don’t think Biden is perfect, but we think he’s done a lot better than Trump, who took credit for Obama’s achievements in the first 2 years of his term and then really blew it on Covid.
Louis
Thanks @Diplomat, shall do.
Who the US chooses as President obviously doesn’t impact me as much as it does you and Americans, but as the UK likes to be such allies with America, it does impact me to a degree. Shall give the State of the Union speech a listen 🙂
Bosch
Shaver, from the outside it looks like democrats are perfectly aware that their side is not perfect, but republicans are pretending to be unaware that their side an authoritarian dystopian mess.
They’re attacking IVF now, shaver. Tell me what the purpose of that is.
ShaverC
Bosch, Do you want unvetted and unsupervised migrants entering your country? You didn’t answer that the third time I asked. This is #4.
Bosch
Oh for goodness sake. No I don’t shaver, and neither do democrats, which is why they haven’t gotten rid of immigration laws. That is why the Biden administration deported way more illegals than the Trump administration.
Why does Trump want so many illegals in the country? Why do southern governors shuttle illegals to the north instead of deporting them? Because republicans need scapegoats. Illegals, Mexicans, gays, drag queens, and now women’s reproductive autonomy.
By the way, complaining about immigrants as a counterargument to banning IVF, that REALLY exposes your colours.
ShaverC
There you go Bosch. No one does. So when a conservative says “i don’t want illegal migrants” that’s exactly what they mean. As to why the D’s are doing it, there are many theories but to me “why” doesn’t matter I just want it to stop.
I don’t agree with hard core republican’s regarding abortion/IVF. but keeping the country safe is top priority right now.
Bosch
So what was the point of the question then? Why do you bring up illegal immigration when we complain about republican policy?
I don’t know how old or how American you are, but 2016 – 2020 were some of the most unsafe years in recent American history. And you think Trump and his little henchman are at all concerned about the safety of the American citizen? You’re either dumb or lying.
ShaverC
Bosch, That is absolutely untrue. Biden’s illegal migrant crisis is the worst in decades. I don’t mind people from other countries talking about the US and it’s flaws but I do expect them to be even a tiny bit educated about the country and what’s going on. And I’m not talking about watching CNN or MSNBC and then coming on here and calling 1/2 the population “racist” or ignorant because we don’t believe what Rachel Maddow has to say.
Bosch
“Biden’s illegal migrant crisis is the worst in decades.”
Show us what you base this on.
And then explain why republicans didn’t want to increase funding to border patrol, when border patrol was asking for it explicitly.
ShaverC
Bosch, you stated the following: “2016 – 2020 were some of the most unsafe years in recent American history.” Prove that first, then I’ll indulge you. I love how you throw “facts” out there but when you get something from someone else you demand “proof”. You first.
Bosch
A group of white rednecks violently stormed the capitol, resulting in the deaths of civilians and police officers. Other officers were so traumatized by the event that they committed suicide.
Violence against members of the LGBT community skyrocketed. Violence against people of colour skyrocketed. Your dumbass president pissed of all democratoc allies, and rubbed shoulders with dictators like Putin and Kim.
Your turn.
Bosch
Btw I’ve been asking you to elaborate on this illegal immigrant conspiracy theory for days. You refuse every time, pretending it’s because I want answering a rhetorical question.
Tell us why you think democrats want “unvetted” illegal immigrants in the country, when it’s southern governors who fly them all around.
ShaverC
Bosch, I answered you above “As to why the D’s are doing it, there are many theories but to me “why” doesn’t matter I just want it to stop.”
No proof the suicides were due to any “trauma” from Jan 6. If you saw the group walking around inside the capital you’d hardly call it a riot, the clips are available on you tube.
You state “facts” but again no proof, because you don’t have any. How do you know crimes are up? Where did you read that? Did you verify that statistic with others? I thought you told me you went to university?
dbmcvey
Republicans had the opportunity to pass an immigration bill that would have given them what they wanted but Mike Johnson didn’t let it come to the floor because Trump wanted to run on the issue. Republicans don’t want to solve immigration because that’s the only issue they have. Your Rs are liars and hypocrites.
ShaverC
dbmcvey, You and everyone else knows that bill was really “give 60 billion to Ukraine” bill. Republicans wanted a stand alone bill for the border but the D’s won’t do it. You know that.
abfab
ShaverC still has his red MAGA cap on too tight. He knows exactly what happened before, during and after Jan 6th. He was there but being the chicken that he is, refused to follow the proud boys and disgusting white trash females into the building. Our great Capitol.
No shame. He can’t face the truth.
dbmcvey
B.S. Shaver. Republicans have so few issues they can run on because taking away women’s bodily autonomy is not as popular as they thought it would be so they need to keep the border an issue.
Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) a very conservative Senator from Texas wrote the bill and it had everything Conservatives claim to want. Not only did Johnson refuse to bring the bill to the floor because they don’t want to pass anything while Biden is President, Trump told them not to pass it because he wanted to run on the border.
You and your MAGA twits keep screaming about the border but you don’t really want to solve it. It’s more Republican lies.
dbmcvey
Louis, if you want to know why Republicans are bad and Dems are better it’s because Republicans lied about wanting to overturn Roe which upheld a woman’s right to have an abortion, and they did it and Dems are trying to make abortion legal and available. They scream about the border but when a bipartisan bill was proposed they refused to bring it to the floor so they could keep running on the issue. Republicans are passing laws against LGBT people and especially trans people, Dems are trying to protect them. Republicans are now proposing eliminating Social Security and Medicare which give senior citizens at least some economic stability.
There are other issues as well but those are the ones that came to mind.
dbmcvey
decraps gives speeches to anti-gay groups. We should all be aware that he’s working to take away our rights, to the point of sending us to concentration camps. I’m not exaggerating.
Bosch
“No proof the suicides were due to any “trauma” from Jan 6.”
What a disgustingly apathetic response. I thought you were just a conservative, but it seems more like you’re a narcissistic sociopath. That explains why you like Trump.
Bosch
“How do you know crimes are up? Where did you read that? Did you verify that statistic with others?”
Because I didn’t live under a maga rock. You trolls rely on the idea that no one else pays attention to world events.
“The FBI’s annual reports on hate crime statistics show that hate crimes have increased from 6,121 incidents in 2016 to 7,314 in 2019, a 19.49 percent increase.
Hate-motivated murders spiked to a total of 51 in 2019, the highest number in nearly 3 decades, according to an analysis of the FBI’s data”
So what’s your defense? Are you gonna do the usual maga thing and be like “who decides when its a hate crime??”
You’re horrible.
Bosch
“Dr. Robot Bones getting his butt handed to him by Shaves.”
Decrapzy, stop thinking about my ass. I’m not into femmes.
Bosch
“Bosch, I answered you above “As to why the D’s are doing it, there are many theories but to me “why” doesn’t matter I just want it to stop.””
Lol. “I don’t know” is shaver’s version of “proof”. These trolls are exhausting.
WHAT do you want to stop, shaver? What are the democrats doing that leads to ILLEGAL immigration?
dbmcvey
decraps actively works against the rights of LGBT people. He’s not a good person.
Bosch
Decrapzy, are you mixing up legal immigrants and illegal immigrants?
Bosch
Ok decrapzy. You like statistics, right? Help us understand:
What percentage of teenagers struggle with gender identity?
What percentage of those teenagers receive gender affirming care?
What percentage of those who receive gender affirming care are actually mentally ill youth?
