France doesn't have a drinking age and its a racist, anti-Semetic sh**thole, what does that tell you.

I've never been to France, I have no idea what it's like, but I would imagine that there's probably at least a few people who have issues with anti-Semitism there.

See folks. .  . . how good it feels to assume the best of places you haven't been?  I'd encourage more of you to try it.

One thing you'll learn about me is that 50% of my posts are interesting TL posts, 25% are solid predictions, 15% are complaining that my Scott-Baker-Collins wing of the party is underrepresented, 9% are completely random sh**t that would seem out of place in anything but someone tweeting from their bathroom drunk at 3:00AM, and 1% are insane blaming of the Kennedys for everything.

Well you certainly are one of the more honest people on here .  My respects.

A pre-op (originally heterosexual) trans woman is no less likely to commit sex crimes than a straight cis male.

Not only is this is objectively false, it’s completely illogical and stupid. It insinuates that there’s something about bottom surgery that reduces the likelihood that someone will commit sexual assault.

Yeah it equates having a penis with being a rapist, something that (rather hilariously) these types usually accuse liberal feminists of believing.

Hilarious.

White women do not experience any oppression in our society today simply because they are women.

This is just… objectively false. I wasn’t aware that the Dobbs decision had a loophole that said white women can still get abortions.

Imagine thinking it being harder to kill your baby in some places is oppression.

Texas woman almost dies because she couldn’t get an abortion

Florida Woman Denied Abortion Miscarried in Hair Salon Bathroom, Lost Half Her Blood

Her miscarriage left her bleeding profusely. An Ohio ER sent her home to wait.

...and so on...

Imagine thinking that denying abortions in those cases isn't oppression.

Except your anger is clearly misplaced. It's the hospitals and medical professionals that failed them in those cases, not the laws y'all are so mad about.

Oh no, honey child. Your moral cowardice is no excuse here. These hospitals and medical professionals so-called failed these women only because they are now afraid to touch abortion with a 20-foot Pole explicitly because the laws that you and yours have put into place making it an issue of those places being shut down and doctors risking prison if they do.

Show an ounce of backbone at least and acknowledge that these incidents are a direct consequence of fighting to being abortion like you've done for years. At least have the courage to say well gee that's bad but it serves a greater good rather than so pathetically wimping out.

It's not "wimping out" to point out that the healthcare professionals involved in those scenarios are more willing to make a political statement than do their jobs.

There is no law that prevents a woman who miscarries from receiving treatment.

What a lying liar you are to hand pick that one in three headline and ignore the fact that it was directly related to abortion law restrictions. As the article noted,

"Holeyman, Zielke's husband, says hospital staff seemed "hesitant." The two of them wondered at the ER if that was because of Ohio's new six-week abortion ban. "I wish someone had come out and said, 'Hey, this is a state law, this is what we're afraid of,' and was a little more frank," he says. Instead he says, paraphrasing what he heard: "It was, 'Well, we don't know if this [pregnancy] is viable, this could still be viable. This is the information you got in D.C., but we need to confirm it."

Not enough of you to crawl out of your shell and admit this is part of your and your ilks doing? Let's proceed shall we?

The situation: Christina Zielke was discharged from an ER in Ohio without treatment for her miscarriage even though she'd been bleeding profusely for hours.

The state law: When Zielke was in Ohio in early September, the state had a law known as a "heartbeat bill" in effect, which bans abortion after about six weeks of pregnancy. The law was passed in 2019, and went into effect the same day the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade on June 24. In mid-September, a judge in Hamilton County blocked the law. Ohio's Republican attorney general has begun the appeals process, and the case is ultimately expected to go to the state supreme court.

Health care providers who violate the law face fifth-degree felony charges, up to a year in prison, loss of their medical license, and fines up to $20,000.

What's at stake: Ohio's abortion restriction doesn't explicitly restrict the treatment of miscarriages or emergency care, but it can have that effect anyway.

Health care providers use the same clinical tools to manage a miscarriage as they do to perform abortions – the medications and surgical options are identical. That can mean when someone seeks care during a miscarriage, a pharmacist or doctor who suspects a patient is seeking an abortion might deny or delay providing treatment, fearing prosecution.

Not enough for you to cry uncle and say okay we lied to this woman suffering but it's for a greater good because the cruelty is the point? Let's carry on further!

"We're in a moment of tremendous fear, and we're working with hospitals and doctors who are not fans of liability," she says. That has led to situations where "physicians or staff say, 'Only if I think I'm 1,000% safe will I do necessary, potentially life-saving medical care.'"

Just fess up. Show a quarter ounce of guts and say. Yes, this is exactly what me and other pro-life radicals- oh sorry, "activists"-- aimed for. Do not even attempt to disassemble that this is a direct straight line result of strict hardcore abortion restrictions being put into place. Again, very very telling that you only chose the one headline about a miscarriage when in fact it was directly related to abortion restriction loss, and you completely utterly hit under the your bed regarding the two other explicitly abortion related headlines.

At least have the courage of us some other pro-life activists and say well it's tragic but it's necessary to save fertilized zygotes--whoops! I of course mean "babies". If not, again, cowardice at it's most pathetic display.

I'm in Ohio today with my granddaughters that were allowed to be born.  Just sayin'.

I'll avoid a political response here.  Congrats on your granddaughters being born.

In the "Is Shakespeare overrated?" thread.

Yes.

He is absolutely nothing in comparison to Quentin Tarantino or Lena Dunham.

Granted, that is a dramatic overstatement but considering that the vast majority of Americans can only quote probably one or two lines from Shakespeare (and probably can't even remember which play the line comes from) suggests Red has a point or two about the guy being overrated.  I'm not saying Americans are smart (at all lol) or should be used as a good barometer over the objective quality of something but it seems obvious there is a sizable portion of the population that subconsciously agrees with BRTD and would rather watch Lethal Weapon 3 Special Edition than read Hamlet.

Shakespeare doesn't even need to be bad to be overrated.  He just needs to be taught to the population by underpaid teachers who follow restrictive guidelines because parents and politicians really suck.

By this same metric, Baby Shark has a decent argument to being the best song of all time.

Ehh fair.

I admit this was a troll attempt at understanding a BRTD argument.

Yes, BUT WHY IS IT ONE OF THE BIGGEST ISSUES?

It is a cipher for colonialism. Even my WASP a** understands that. It's not even the best one IMO because after all we are arguing who is more evil: a right-wing racist Israeli government or an Islamic extremist organization that was originally created by the CIA and another right-wing racist Israeli government to halt Fatah's progress and stop the spread of socialism in the Arab world #missionaccomplished

There is one thought I had while reading that entire diatribe: "Virtue Signal much?"

Making terrorist threats to own the libs.

Yes, if other states followed Colorado's lead and these actions alone won the election for Biden, it would absolutely be a justified situation for armed rebellion.

"Makeing terroriſt Threats against His Britannic Majestie to owne ye Tories" - Samuel Johnson on George Washington in 1775, probably.

Lol are you comparing election insurrectionists to Washington and the founding fathers?

My username before I was banned was “Riot Like it’s 1776” for a reason. You guys larp being WWII era partisans all the time too.

Liberals like to larp about WWII so hard that Lyndon Johnson escalated things in Vietnam just so he could be remembered as FDR Jr, lol.

To be completely fair successive Republican administrations after Lincoln larped the Civil War so hard they completed the job Columbus started .
