You have to wonder, is Trump's base finally ready to admit Trump incited the sacking of the Capitol to try to stop the certification of the 2020 election forcibly? Or will they continue to back and defend the worst President the US has ever had? It sure seems like the 1/6 committee will bring the receipts, and we don't know who leaked this audio, but apparently, they have lots more. Someone sure doesn't want to see Trump return to the spotlight in 2024. If we have learned one thing, though, never underestimate Trump's ability to survive an outrage cycle and rewrite history.

The highlighted sentence pretty much says it all.......and no, despite all the ridiculous posturing, lies and hyperbole both here and in the media Trump's base isnt going anywhere IMO.

You only posted 12 copies of the above so I am guessing you are probably doing wrong on the account info too.....what that is though I have no idea

How bout you fuck off RodOUS.....lol Mel explained what happened and you want to make threats about running to the principal anyway. You really are a worthless, sniveling little sack of shit.

Jim,  there's no problem with what you've provided in your example because you didn't change any of the words in any manner of the original post. The problem arises when you alter the actual text of the original post that you are responding to but that's not what you've done in your example. If you altered the original post by changing words then it's no longer the original post of the poster, it's a bogus post altered by you, the responder. Changing the name of the initial poster, in any manner, for example, is an alteration of the original post and constitutes a bogus post. Changing a name of the original poster, for example, "OUSJim Brown", constitutes a bogus post by the responder by altering the name of the original poster.

Yep....you are an idiot. LOL

Always a loaded discussion...... I tend to take a much simpler line of thought on the topic.

Is there any point in your life where you would be ok with someone else deciding you need to die and killing you?

Not withstanding assisted suicide which is another debate. My answer is NO, I prefer my time of death to be in fate's hands or my own, no one elses. So if you are not ok with someone killing you on a whim after you are born, are you ok with them killing you before you are born? I am NOT and I dont believe any of you are either.

The fact is life begins at conception....that really isnt debatable. 

Leaving morality, religion etc etc out of it the above remains.....No one has the right to arbitrarily determine when someone else dies. That is basic humanity.

Once conceived life has a right to live if it has nothing else.....again basic humanity. If my life is to be respected then I must in turn respect other life. That is what reinforces my stance on abortion which is I think it is wrong period and the only thing I need to arrive at that conclusion is the above. 

Now that said, I have no right to make decisions for others on the issue whether its just me or a collective of same thinkers. I certainly dont support abortion for the above reason but nor will I participate in enacting and enforcing laws that force the issue either way. The decisions made by others on the issue are just that, their decisions and their responsibility, not mine.

I will say my position is an evolved position.....I did not always have this perspective.

Mrs Clinton believes in it, Stacey Abrams believes in it as well along with a host of others over the years......I guess they are idiots too LOL

Are you pretending the liberals have been playing it straight?

Of course they arent.....neither side plays it straight and that is the problem. When someone does come along who plays it straight on pretty much any given issue they get attacked from both sides. Thus politics is little more than a huge circle jerk.
