Reports coming out of the White House are that Trump is favoring Amy Coney Barrett.
If so, the left goes NUTS!!
She is hard core social conservative and anti-abortion.
If the Republicans try to do the vote b4 the election day, the left goes NUTS!!!!! NUTS!!!!!Are you anti abortion Frank?
Yes.
any change for Rape or Incest?
There was a whole thread about abortion. Of interest is that studies have found women are more against it than men.

Biden was just asked about his son without a teleprompter
At least he didn't get angry this time. But he diverts to Trumps family. I wish the interviewer had asked like what. Give one example where Trumps sons or daughters (or larger family) have received money in this way since Trump has become President.
Exact same way or another form of nepotistic earning favours. There are plenty on that list.
The key is how much are Trumps family members paid. And do they have the skills for the job they are doing and is the pay justified.
In comparison to Biden's son
So it's more the amount than the act?
You have both of his daughter-in-laws earning big off his campaign funding under job titles that barely match their skills and experience.
You have his daughter and son-in-law being handed well paid 'advisory' roles for which they have no experience.
You have the coincidental rapid issuing of trademarks in China to both Ivanka's company and Trump Inc. after they had been previously declined and just after a trade meeting.
It's not a pissing contest here. Both have used their position to further their families.
Trying to focus on Biden and ignoring Trump is incredibly one-eyed.One thing you mention is the trademark for her rubbish products. This is massively different to millions a year for jobs Hunter had no skills for. If she had received the trademark and a billion $ loan then yes. Or a 1 million feee as well. Then it needs to be looked at for sure
The other are areas that need to be looked at. But if its a fair fee for work done etc I don't have an issue. As I wouldn't with Biden's children (or extended family)
getting a trademark that had previously been declined directly after a trade meeting doesn't look bad? definitely looks like using their roles to further themselves personally
I understand (without bothering to look up numbers) that the monetary payoff for her business in gaining those trademarks was worth a lot.
The business has been closed down. But a fair trademark in any country surely is fair enough.

According to recently released documents, in their application for FISA warrants and probing of Trump, FBI KNEW they were relying on information that came from a suspected Russian spy.
This suspected Russian spy was the primary sub-source of the Steele dossier.I think it almost certain Durham will indict someone.

I saw this and assumed initially the video was fake. I still have my doubts as its such an odd thing to say. Even as a joke
(Ryan Saavedra) A video emerged on Friday of Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden calling soldiers “stupid bastards” and a “dull bunch” during a speech overseas to U.S. soldiers while he was serving as vice president in the Obama administration.
The Biden campaign confirmed to The Daily Beast that the video was real, but claimed that Biden made the comments “jokingly.”

I think Trump has taken a political risk here because most undecided won't want Roe vs Wade touched.
The mistake the Dems might make is that they overreach in their attacks and make her a sympathetic figure.
It's going to be hard for the emotional tantrum part of the protestors not to go a little nutty here.
It's fair to say this move locks up the Evangelicals' vote, but might lose with some others. -

I guess my point was an attempt is still more respectful than “alphabet people” if that was indeed what they meant

@Kiwiwomble fair enough mate. It's nearly impossible to keep up. I think there are 58 genders now, which basically renders the word 'gender' completely meaningless. I also think grouping together a large number of individuals under this umbrella term and then making assumptions on what their experiences are is completely the wrong way to go about it. Treating people as actual individuals is a far more effective way to overcome any discrimination.

I asked a couple of my gay friends, because I got a bit lost, and generally they all said none would be offended if you missed “their” letter, the thought that counts kind of deal, I’m sure there are people out there that would be but they seem to be a minority
I agree people should be treated as individuals, 100%, but then I also don’t want to tell someone how they want to be treated is wrong if it doesn’t actually effect me at all

And you're missing a QIP2SA & a +.
By alphabet people I mean the extremist members of this group and their supporters who work tirelessly to undo the progress made in gay rights and tolerant attitudes in society.

@Rembrandt he's a nasty nasty man that fellow. Incredibly smart too.
He's a black supremacist that has openly advocated for racism against white people to "right past wrongs". Jack (Twitter CEO) also donated him $10M to fund his "studies". He is everything that is wrong with Twitter and the far left.
