I don't come here often enough to hold a full fledged dialogue. I knw the ploy of people winning arguments on here simply through picking and choosing their strongest points or discrepancies in others' arguments and I can't play that game and so you are welcome to win an "argument"with me. I clearly remember you insinuating that if Trump was doing something to implicate biased FBI, then he is within his rihts and can bend the rules. I'm sure overall, people know how you argue and what your argument line is and so in a public forum I don't need to win an argument but it is enough to make a point. Have a good Hungarian day, bud
No, I did not say what you "clearly remember". It's simply a lie. You either confuse me with someone else there or you make it up. It's obvious you cannot find such a quote from me because I never said it's ok for Trump to break the law - so you just provide no evidence and double down on stupid with a lot of blabla.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...pc=W046&cvid=04cbc4a85d264259902fb55a40e327b9 A Florida Judge Who Denied A Teen Girl An Abortion Because Of Her Grades Was Voted Out Of Office Clarissa-Jan Lim - Yesterday 2:17 PM With the fight over abortion rights looming large over the midterm elections, voters in Florida ousted two prominent anti-abortion elected officials in separate races on Tuesday. Florida Rep. James Bush lost his reelection bid, a notable defeat for the sole Democrat in the state legislature who voted on a 15-week abortion ban and the anti-LGBTQ "Don't Say Gay" bill. His opponent, 37-year-old lawyer Ashley Gantt, ran on a platform focused on affordable housing, public education, and criminal justice reform. Gantt, an attorney and former public school teacher, has criticized Bush for siding with Republicans on the abortion ban and the "Don't Say Gay" bill, which bars "classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity." "As a Black woman, I was offended when he voted to restrict my rights, our right to make decisions over our bodies," she said last week. "As a former teacher, I was insulted that he voted to inject Tallahassee extremism into our classrooms and deny local control over our school systems." Gantt and Bush were the only two candidates vying for District 109. As the winner of the Democratic primary, Gantt is now the representative-elect. Bush was first elected to the Florida state House in 1992. He was elected again in 2008, then in 2018. His penchant for supporting Republican-sponsored bills drew the ire of his fellow Democrats, some of whom publicly voiced their support for Gantt in the election; Democratic state Sen. Jason Pizzo recently accused him of "voting against Democratic values and kissing the Governor’s ass - all day, everyday." Florida voters also ousted Jared Smith, an incumbent circuit judge for Hillsborough County who gained notoriety for rejecting a teenager's request for an abortion because her grades were low. The race between Smith and his opponent, Nancy Jacobs, was relatively contentious for a typically low-key nonpartisan judgeship election, the Tampa Bay Times reported. Smith had denied a 17-year-old seeking an abortion without parental consent in January this year on the basis that her grades were low and that she lacked "intelligence or credibility," and was therefore not mature enough to get an abortion. An appeals court later overturned his ruling. Jacobs did not directly criticize Smith over his decision (Florida bars judicial candidates from making public statements on legal issues), but she has shared posts on Facebook regarding the ruling. In a statement to BuzzFeed News, Jacobs said she looked forward to taking the bench in January and "ensuring that the people of Hillsborough County who enter my courtroom are treated with respect, dignity, and integrity every day." She said that Smith's decision in the abortion case was possibly "one factor among many in voters’ decisions on whom to cast their ballots for in this race" given that it made national headlines. Smith had made his Christian faith central to his reelection campaign. His wife, Suzette Smith, once told supporters that Jacobs, who is Jewish, "needs Jesus." "We pray for her. She needs Jesus," Suzette Smith said. "To deny God and to deny the Bible is a person that’s — the heart is very hard toward God.” Jacobs called the comments "troubling" and accused the couple of "using their religion to insult and disparage the faith of an opposing candidate." Florida is set up for a riveting general election in November, with abortion rights expected to be a central issue in races all the way up to the gubernatorial election. Charlie Crist, a former Republican governor, won the Democratic primary on Tuesday, setting up a challenge against Gov. Ron DeSantis. Crist fended off accusations of being "pro-life" from his primary opponent, Nikki Fried, arguing that he struck down anti-abortion bills during his time in office.

I still think DeSantis is going to win but Crist is taking an interesting and for someone who has been known as fairly mild mannered pretty aggressive strategy.
DeSantis says ‘woke’ 5 times in 19 seconds in culture war laden primary speech https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...ry-speech-b2152132.html?utm_source=reddit.com Brother had a woke seizure, peak wokeness. Sounded like he was singing that Rihanna song
Woke has become a term to describe any idea or anyone you don’t like. DeSantis is going beyond “woke” and has firmly embraced Christian extremism.
What does woke mean to you? I see it as to make people aware. For example, Disney is woke because they included a split second peck on the lips between two women. What's wrong with that? People and entities that support gay rights and speak out against social injustice are called woke in a derogatory manner. Give me something you see and describe as woke.
https://californiaglobe.com/articles/disney-pays-the-price-for-woke-activism/ Disney Pays the Price for Woke Activism The Magic Kingdom should save its transgender agenda for its adult entertainment By Carole Lieberman, July 28, 2022 10:26 am What’s the worst performing stock in the Dow Jones Industrial Average so far this year? Disney. The Mickey Mouse company, headquartered in Burbank, has lost about 35% of its value this year versus a nearly 15% loss for the broader index. As a result, tens of millions of Americans who hold Disney stock either directly or indirectly as part of passive index funds have seen their finances take a hit at the worst possible time as inflation spirals out of control. Disney’s poor financial performance is a product of its own making. In recent months, the company has aggressively waded into controversial cultural issues such as gender identity, making it clear it is putting politics over its shareholders and customers. Disney is a prime example of the threat posed to shareholders and the broader economy of “woke” capitalism. Its story should serve as a cautionary tale for other companies looking to follow in its footsteps. Disney has all but admitted it’s leveraging its prized position as a top children’s content creator to push a divisive cultural agenda. In March, Disney’s president of content told employees the company plans to have at least 50% of its regular characters come from “underrepresented groups.” Another top producer boasted about Disney’s “not-at-all-secret gay agenda,” including “adding queerness” to children’s programming. Yet another senior executive promised that Disney would implement a “tracker” to ensure programs contain enough “canonical trans characters.” We’re getting a look at what this woke agenda looks like in practice. An upcoming episode of Disney’s new children’s show “Baymax!” features a transgender man buying menstrual pads. “I always get the ones with wings,” says the “man” wearing a shirt with the transgender flag. Disney is also abolishing the words “boys” and “girls” at its theme parks. LGBTQ people deserve acceptance by society, including in pop culture. But, children should not have any agenda forced down their throats, especially not when they are too young to understand and be able to evaluate the information Mickey Mouse and his friends are serving them. As a board-certified psychiatrist, I have seen first-hand the psychological toll on children of being bombarded — in classrooms, movie theaters, and amusement parks — by messages telling them they should be some other sex. To the extent that gender identity is discussed with children, it should occur from parents and doctors, not woke media companies, teachers, or other third parties that generally only present one side of the issue. In other words, Disney should save its transgender agenda for its adult entertainment and let kids enjoy age-appropriate content. This spring, Florida’s state government pursued a reasonable compromise on this issue by passing a law forbidding teachers from discussing sexual orientation and gender identity with young children in kindergarten through third grade. The law follows a fundamental principle shared by psychiatrists and ordinary Americans: Let kids be kids. A new national survey from the Democratic polling firm Hart Research finds an overwhelming majority of parents support this position. By a 27-point margin, parents support Florida-style protections. Yet rather than supporting the democratic will of voters and their elected officials, Disney strongly opposed the Florida law. Its CEO Bob Chapek called it a “challenge to basic human rights” and donated $5 million to a transgender activist group. This goofy position generated customer boycotts. Some Americans dumped their Disney+ subscriptions in protest. Grassroots campaigns such as Job Creators Network’s “No Mouse in My House” sprang up. The Florida government revoked Disney’s special governing status that had saved the company tens of millions of dollars a year. The end result of these hits to Disney’s reputation and revenues is a cratering stock price. Disney’s story demonstrates how woke political positions have real consequences for shareholders and customers. Fortunately, other major companies seem to have taken note. As Manhattan Institute Scholar Christopher Rufo has highlighted, companies want to ensure they “avoid becoming the next Walt Disney Co.” Netflix recently fired its woke employees. Shareholders and customers have the power to amplify this backlash against corporate politicking by making it clear there will be consequences for companies that engage in it. We must make our voices heard now before this woke pandemic becomes an endemic part of American capitalism.
To clarify, I am not a follower of a religion, so for me, this is not about some fundamentalist Christian agenda being disrupted by Disney, or whatever. And people with non-traditional gender situations should be fully included and respected. But what I really don't like is how that agenda is forced down children's throats, and therefore I agree with what Governor DeSantis is doing to stop that. He's your party's governor...and funnily enough, his Democratic opponent is really a Republican as well, lol.
Of course that was before Disney + became the leading subscription channel and their stocks took off. Disney surges after earnings and subscriber growth soar past Wall Street's estimates https://markets.businessinsider.com...ck-price-2q-earnings-subscriber-growth-2022-8
First, what do you mean by agenda? Second, how is that being 'forced down our throats'. Third, just because he is 'my party's governor, doesn't mean he isn't an ******* and that I am voting for him.
