Lawyers for megachurch pastor and Trump advisor Robert Morris blame 12-year-old for ‘initiating’ sexual contact.
The news of lawyers for megachurch pastor and Trump advisor Robert Morris blaming a 12-year-old for ‘initiating’ sexual contact is not only appalling but also a stark reminder of the depravity that some individuals are capable of. It is disheartening to see how victim-blaming has become a common defensive tactic in cases like these. No matter the circumstances, a child should never be held accountable or deemed responsible for sexual abuse perpetrated against them.
The idea that a grown man could justify his actions by claiming a 12-year-old initiated any form of sexual contact is not only disgusting but serves to highlight a larger issue of accountability and responsibility.… Continue reading
Republican lawmaker calls for next president to ‘work our way back’ to 1960s
When I heard about a Republican lawmaker suggesting that the next president should “work our way back” to the 1960s, my initial reaction was one of disbelief and frustration. The 1960s were a time fraught with social unrest, civil rights movements, and significant challenges that our society was grappling with. To call for a return to that era seems not only misguided but also tone-deaf to the struggles and progress that we have made since then.
It’s hard to ignore the fact that the 1960s were a time of racial segregation, gender inequality, and political turmoil.… Continue reading
It’s baffling to think about how someone within the LGBTQ+ community could support a political party that, at its core, does not advocate for their existence or rights. Gay republicans who align themselves with the MAGA movement are essentially prioritizing their disdain for certain policies or economic issues over their own identities and communities. The repercussions of such a choice can be devastating, with many individuals finding themselves ostracized and alienated by those who should be their allies.
The cognitive dissonance displayed by Trump-loving gays is truly mind-boggling. By throwing their support behind a candidate and party that actively work against their rights and freedoms, they are essentially digging their own graves.… Continue reading
The recent interview between Donald Trump and a Fox News host highlighted a glaring issue that has plagued the former president for years – his inability to provide a clear, concise answer to a simple yes-no question. When asked about NATO, Trump launched into a four-minute diatribe that touched on China, COVID, the stock market, the economy, and a myriad of other topics, completely avoiding a direct response. This kind of word salad from Trump is nothing new, but it serves as a stark reminder of the chaotic and nonsensical nature of his rhetoric.
The question posed to Trump was straightforward: “There are people who believe you want to get out of NATO — is that what you want to do?”… Continue reading
The ‘Kids Guide to President Trump’ is a troubling example of how children can be influenced and misled. It’s concerning to think that such a publication even exists, let alone that it could potentially be used to groom and indoctrinate young minds. The fact that former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee is involved in promoting this booklet adds another layer of dubious intent. It seems like a thinly veiled attempt to push a political agenda onto impressionable children under the guise of education.
One of the most troubling aspects of this ‘guide’ is the lack of transparency about the darker truths surrounding President Trump.… Continue reading
I find it utterly baffling and troubling that RFK Jr. would make a statement like “I won’t take sides on 9/11.” How can there even be “sides” when it comes to the tragic events of 9/11? It was a day that changed the course of history and resulted in the loss of thousands of innocent lives. The idea of not taking a definitive stance on an act of terrorism is not only irresponsible but also dangerous.
It is mind-boggling that anyone would try to find a middle ground between the innocent civilians who perished on that fateful day and the terrorists who carried out the attacks.… Continue reading
When I read about Marjorie Taylor Greene flunking an American history test, I couldn’t help but shake my head in disbelief. How did this woman get elected? It’s utterly mind-boggling to think that someone representing the American people can be so profoundly ignorant about basic facts of our nation’s history. It’s a slap in the face to those who fought for the freedoms we hold dear and a disservice to the very fabric of our democracy.
The idea of politicians needing to pass a civics test, undergo psych profiling, and disclose their tax returns is not just a frivolous suggestion. It’s a necessity.… Continue reading
This is what he’s thinking about, not the American people. From the very beginning, it’s been clear that his only priority is himself. The well-being of the nation, the concerns of the people, none of that matters to him. All he cares about is his own ego, his own power, and his own twisted desires. It’s sickening to see how someone in a position of such authority can be so completely self-absorbed and devoid of empathy.
The way he speaks, the things he says, it’s all a reflection of his true nature. The derogatory language, the lack of respect, the utter disregard for anyone who dares to oppose him – these are not the qualities of a leader.… Continue reading
The Alabama GOP chair’s recent statement that thinking of America as a democracy “leads to socialism” is not only absurd but also deeply concerning. It reflects a dangerous trend within the Republican Party of demonizing the very foundation of our nation.
Democracy is the cornerstone of American values and principles. It is the essence of our Constitution and the bedrock of our society. To equate democracy with socialism is not only ignorant but also a deliberate attempt to sow confusion and misinformation among the electorate.
The rise of such rhetoric within the GOP is indicative of a larger issue plaguing our political landscape.… Continue reading
Every time Donald Trump opens his mouth, we can expect lies to come out. It seems to be a pathological issue with him, and his recent claim of knowing nothing about Project 2025 is just a continuation of this trend. The Heritage Foundation, an influential conservative think tank, has been behind the creation of Project 2025, a set of extreme policy proposals tailored for a potential second Trump term. This project aims to give the President unprecedented powers, strip civil rights, dismantle worker protections, roll back climate regulations, and much more. It is alarming to think that Trump, who has already implemented 64% of Heritage Foundation recommendations during his term, could potentially push through Project 2025 with his obsession for vengeance.… Continue reading
