They say it is ok to perform an abortion all the way up to full term. You know, a viable baby. An actual human being....
Umm no <blah blah> rape.

I'm not certain I understand your second to last paragraph:
The problem is that (both sides) need to pander to the extreme views or they will become enemies amongst themselves. Trump dares not criticise the right wing, no democrat would argue that a man can't also be a woman if he wants to.
Trump doesn't hold his tongue on any matter, even if it is self incriminating. He simply can't keep his pie hole shut. You clearly haven't been keeping up with his daily rantings.

As far as arguing that a man can't be a woman (or the converse), I personally don't give a flying fuck.
I should explain then since you went off on a tangent.

Because no one (to my knowledge) will put a time limit on precisely when you can have an abortion, in theory, you would be able to terminate any pregnancy at any time up until the instant before birth.

Whether anyone does or does not typically have an abortion "at the last minute" is immaterial to my point which is that neither side can stray from "the party line" - whatever that narrative may be. Hence nobody from the left "pro choice (??)" would dare say "up to 26 weeks". I merely give an example relevant to the the previous comment.

I don't "follow" Trump other than the incessant bombardment of court cases sponsored by the current administration. This weaponisation of state administration for political purposes is incredibly dangerous and no longer representative of a healthy democracy. The Biden admin keep trying to convince everyone that the biggest danger to democracy is anyone who doesn't vote for Biden. Oh and they're also domestic terrorists and racists.

They must think half of America are stupid. Problem is, half of America actually is.

I don't really care about the transgender "what is a woman bollocks" either. I can happily ignore it. What worries me is the overt grooming of children by deliberately targeting them for exposure to these niche adult sexual fetishes which seems to be one of the primary goals within that movement.

I could well stand to be corrected here, but YouTube doesn't have anything like the same legal hurdles to clear WRT press standards?

Doesn't mean it's automatically bollox on YouTube. Just more likely to be.


Trump is evil, Ukraine politics are a paragon of virtue, Joe Biden isn't a crook. everybody is gay, all whites are racist. I'm sick of it tbh so I don't bother watching legacy news channels any more. And now we are supposed to "celebrate" being gay for "gay pride month". Seriously. Why? Who gives a fuck what anyone gets up to in the privacy of their own homes.
Are we? I must have missed the memo :eh:

You haven't missed it yet. Pride month from tomorrow. It will probably get an occasional mention or two in the mainstream media.

A whole fucking month.

I'll have a pint of London pride every day for a month. Happy with that.

Lolz. Poor old gays, caught in the crossfire, bored of the transgendered? ;) Gay pride celebrations have been in the mainstream for simply decades. They even welcome you straights into their fun parades n shit.

It's not for me obviously as I'm a boring old twat, nobody's forcing you to acknowledge it, let alone participate - it's a poor example of "world's gone mad".

The only reason I'm not down at the pride march is that there's no such thing as gay cuisine :(

All it takes to get me at these things is the promise of some different food.

I don't know why you feel the need to butt into someone else's conversation with your ignorant comments.

Why don't you just fuck off?

Apparently all is not well in the LGBTQ community. For some reason the G's absolutely hate the T's. I couldn't muster up enough enthusiasm to find out why.
Apparently the L's are non too chuffed about discovering the gal they picked up at a bar has a dick either.

I heard about this on the radio. The thing which has come to light is that the gay community in general aren't happy with their pride days being hijacked by the identity politics which is dominating the trans debate, where someone can simply identify as whatever they like, for what ever reason they like.

It's pretty much non-stop news coverage here regarding the Hollywood pride parade. I turned on the *news* this morning & they had a 5 minute segment about buying rainbow clothing at one of the stores. It was complete with models mincing about all over the stage. It may have been longer than 5 minutes, I changed the channel to find actual news.

In the olden days, if more than one person were involved, 'they' would have been the correct pronoun whatever sex or gender they were or identified as. I don't know what pronouns are used for plurals these days.

I've wanted to for years, but can't do it myself. I think it's called "unicorn colours" but not sure. Need to find a hairdresser in the uk to do it for me when I visit sometime!! LOL :D :D
