    Conservatives spent at least two decades saying that queer acceptance is a slippery slope would lead to the normalization of incest, then bestiality, then pedophila, in that order. And then it turns out that being conservative was the thing that led to pedophila all along. So I’m left feeling like every accusation is a confession, and that homophobia is their way of covering their tracks.

        Nah bro. I’m not stupid enough to vote 3rd party when a 3rd party candidate stands exactly 0% chance of winning.

        In 2024 the 3rd party candidate with the most votes got a whopping half of a single percent of the total votes cast. Confirming that 3rd party candidates stand a snowball’s chance in hell of winning.

        You’d know that if you weren’t stupid.

        It boggles my mind that less than a year ago fools like you found out exactly what happens when you vote 3rd party when no 3rd party has worked to become viable and yet your hamster brain is ready to go for it again. Zero lessons learned.

        Nah, unlike you I’ll be smart and live in reality where the safest bet for our nation is voting for the viable non-fascist party that we can then work to reform once we’re sure the fascist party is out of the picture.

        P.S. Your link is fucking stupid because none of the fools that voted 3rd party knew whether their choice was going to make the difference or not when they voted. So they’re still fucking idiots who just happened to be inconsequential idiots this time around.

          Nah bro. I’m not stupid enough to vote 3rd party when a 3rd party candidate stands exactly 0% chance of winning.

          As opposed to the diet-Republican candidates who also have a 0% chance at winning as demonstrated by Donald Trump getting elected a second time and the Republicans controlling every branch of government? Sound logic there.

          In 2024 the 3rd party candidate with the most votes got a whopping half of a single percent of the total votes cast. Confirming that 3rd party candidates stand a snowball’s chance in hell of winning.

          That’s because people like yourself decided to throw their votes away voting for the people colluding with Republicans to wipe our democracy out.

          It boggles my mind that less than a year ago fools like you found out exactly what happens when you vote Democratic party when no Democratic candidate has worked to become viable and yet your hamster brain is ready to go for it again. Zero lessons learned.

          Nah, unlike you I’ll be smart and live in reality where the safest bet for our nation is voting for the viable non-fascist party that we can then work to reform once we’re sure the fascist party is out of the picture.

          So then you do support third parties? They’re the only non-fascist parties we have in this country, but I’m sure a smart guy like yourself knows that. Please describe this scenario where “the fascist party is out of the picture” because I’d love to hear it. It’s quite comical to see you write this immediately after talking about how you “live in reality.”

          P.S. Your link is fucking stupid because none of the fools that voted 3rd party knew whether their choice was going to make the difference or not when they voted. So they’re still fucking idiots who just happened to be inconsequential idiots this time around.

          It’s quite telling when someone, on numerous occasions, has to include in their argument how smart they are and how much of an idiot everyone else is. That’s the cornerstone of a well reasoned argument.

      First, ban gay sex. Tell people how gross it is and how gross gay people are. Then tell people that real men only have sex with women. Make the argument that young women are obviously better than old women. You know what’s even better? Really young women. Sometimes they are called girls, or underaged or whatever, but man we have a crazy list where it says who raped had sex with the most really young women. And velieve it or not, it’s the smartest, greatest american who ever lived, your president. Wanna be like him?

      Not (just) “idiot”, but evil. The “advantage,” besides populist wank, is creating a new law that is enforced extremely selectively when you want to prosecute people for other, unconstitutional reasons. E.g. “We didn’t infringe on their free speech, they were imprisoned for engaging in gay sex.”

    The woman who accused then-Fox News host Pete Hegseth of sexual assault in 2017 said that while she did not have a complete recollection of the night in question, she “remembered saying ‘no’ a lot” and alleged that he prevented her from leaving his hotel room, according to a police report from the Monterey, Calif., police department.

    The student newspaper he ran in college suggested that you can’t rape someone who is unconscious.

    Furthermore, the leadership’s will to indoctrinate is demonstrated by such fiascoes as the aforementioned “Reflections on Diversity” and also “Sex on a Saturday Night.” The latter, a bemusing yet mandatory orientation program, revolved entirely around whether an instance of sexual intercourse constituted “rape.” The actual instance portrayed in the skit was in fact not a clear case of rape – at least not in my home state. (In short, though intercourse was not consented to, there was no duress because the girl drank herself into unconsciousness. Both criteria must be satisfied for rape. Unfortunately, the panelists never cited any legal definition of rape.) Yet the panel – all females in the session I attended – claimed that rape it was. Regardless of technicalities, this esoteric incident was the sole focus of the presentation. The panel ignored the mundane yet profound moral issues surrounding sexuality with which the student is confronted on a daily basis. The administration does the student body a great moral disservice when it implements a program covering the logistics of the one-night-stand, in a very permissive manner, while ignoring the metaphysics.

    He’s been married three times and is a serial adulterer.

    “Pete said he no longer believed in God and family values,” a source with knowledge of the call told Vanity Fair. “He claimed he no longer wanted to seek the limelight. He said, and this quote is as clear as day, ‘I’m a f***** up individual.’”

    I don’t think he’s a secretly gay or bi man. I think he’s the type that’s more worried that men will treat him the way that he thinks women deserve to be treated.

        If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.

      Our whole continent collectively stopped analyzing fiction as warnings or analogies for what’s real.

      Or more accurately, the line between absurd fantasy and reality was slowly eroded as politicians and officials continued to push the line into the realm of the unbelievable, that people stopped caring about the line.
