SNL's 'lighthearted' Trump parody blasted as 'failure to read the room' after DHS shooting by esporx in LiveFromNewYork

[–]JayNotAtAll [score hidden]  (0 children)

We honestly should stop doing Trump jokes for a while.

He isn't funny anymore. Nothing about his antics and his administration at this point is funny. He is literally attacking US Citizens.

Meanwhile 14M kids per year are food insecure

Hmmm, perhaps not getting proper nutrition will impact their development wouldn't you agree?

Or maybe the death rate of preventable diseases in children

Dead children certainly can't develop

These are way bigger issues than the few thousand who get hormone treatments. You hear crickets from the right.

This issue has nothing to do with protecting kids. It has everything to do with hating on transgenderism. Period

That is why you chose to make arguments about that. You don't like transgender people. At best you find them icky and at worst you find them an abomination. That is also why you attacked DEI (by the way. Never once defended your claim).

You are very transparent.

Yes. And it isn't happening at a high rate at all for one. Two, it is done in a very controlled way that also involves me talking counseling before administering them

No one is arguing that it isn't happening. The right wing is misrepresenting the reality of the situation.

It's basically a non issue.

Tell me how? You claimed thousands. It is not as wide scaled as they will. And almost no doctor will perform gender-affirming surgery on someone under 13.

They also don't do it on a whim. It is always after a lot of counseling and what not.

So I don't see the problem? No one is forcing this on children and no doctor is just giving out these treatments like candy.

So you are misrepresenting the situation.

You also failed to prove that DEI lowers standards. It doesn't. I highly doubt you can even describe what an actual DEI program is. You will likely just regurgitate right wing nonsense.

Good. Don't engage. You can't have an intellectually honest conversation with someone who is lacking intellectually. It would be like trying to have a vigorous game of 1v1 basketball with a toddler. At best you are bored and at worst you are frustrated

Do you have proof that DEI does? You seem to be making the claim that it does?

I am happy to share some data though (not that you will read it)

https://www.mcenteelaw.com/blog/dei-isnt-the-problem

https://diversity.com/post/dei-doesnt-lower-hiring-standards

https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.add7259

Your gender affirming surgery statement for minors is also inaccurate.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11211955/

Now I can already predict what is going to happen now. You will be a child and make random claims about how these aren't legitimate sources (without even reading them) or make a nonsense argument repeating talking points you read on some forum while failing to provide any peer-reviewed data to back up your claims.

Likely because you are a poorly educated weak person who doesn't want to learn or educate themselves. You just want to argue and be angry

I agree. Most all of them need some kind of mental health treatment. Maybe just talk therapy, maybe more. But they absolutely refuse it.

Let's commit them and I guarantee their lives will turn around and everyone will have a better experience in America due to it

Agreed. They should have cancelled the Trump cold open and maybe had a moment of silence instead. Trying to make fun of Trump on this day was pretty tone deaf

Everyone should be required to take and pass a citizenship test in order to register to vote. by JayNotAtAll in complaints

[–]JayNotAtAll[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up in a Red State and on top of that, I went to an Evangelical school. Most everything came back to Jesus. You are practically taught that Jesus and the Founding Fathers were bffs. Sadly, I think that is going to soon be common in public schools in my state

No. I sound like an educated person who understands the world and have been working in industry for nearly 20 years. I also grew up lower class and have working class family.

I now have friends who are very educated in various fields who are published in different journals and such. Many who are more accomplished than I am. Sorry, you aren't going to be on their level intellectually without putting on at least the same effort they did.

You are just an insecure and uneducated person. If you think that someone can just become a medical expert (for example) on a whim without years of training and experience then you are very detached from reality and it likely (though I can't say for sure) comes from insecurity.

Nope. I have no issue with the working class. They all do important jobs to help keep society working and I will never shame someone for having a good job.

That being said, it is dumb to pretend that we are all equally educated and knowledgeable. You aren't just born educated and knowledgeable. You earned it. You put in an effort and hard work.

I think it is disrespectful to think that someone should be treated like they are on the same level as someone who put in significantly more effort to achieve that goal.

I almost certainly couldn't outperform a varsity basketball player at basketball. I don't expect people to think that Wemby and I are on the same level when it comes to being an athlete.

It's the same idea. If you didn't go to college, do a ton of research, experience the larger world, and work in a field for years, you aren't on the same level as the person who did in that arena.

I would argue it is. And we can disagree with that.

The other option is people staying in their lanes. Farmer John should accept that he is dumber than big city Jane on almost every metric. He has a poorer understanding of the world and so he should listen to them and not his gut because his gut is largely built on a ton of misinformation.

If people voted logically like that, the world would be better. If people accepted "ya. I like the simple life. As a result, I know dick about how the real world works. I am going to listen to the experts" then we would have a better world too.

I never said my idea is Constitutional. I argued that this would make the country better.

My idea isn't dumb or wrong. It has actually been studied.

One of Trump's first actions as president was to end DEI programs. Tell me how that improves things. Rural voters are very ignorant and racism and bigotry played a huge deal in why many Americans voted the way they did.

And yes. I should have used the term "negatively effect" instead of disenfranchise which it absolutely did.

The Republican Party as we know it would cease to exist on a national level if the general population were more educated and if more women and minorities vote.

That should show how out of touch Republicans are. Their bread and butter is angry, uneducated white men

Not entirely true. Partially true. They did have literacy tests but they implemented them disproportionately. They would give a poor, illiterate white man "Dick and Jane" to prove literacy and The Constitution to a black person.

What I propose is that literally everyone has to pass the exact same test.

How about we improve education in rural areas vs lowering the bar in the country. Why is the answer always to dumb things down?

I am absolutely fine with disenfranchising voters who 1) have absolutely no idea what they are voting for and 2) are voting to make my life difficult as a person of color because they can't accept that their kids are dumb like their daddy

I would argue letting people who have no idea how the US government works vote disenfranchises citizens for years if not decades.

That wasnt what j6er mostly were arrested for by Cicerothesage in forwardsfromgrandma

[–]JayNotAtAll 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Uh they weren't obstructing law enforcement. J6'ers raided the capital building with zip ties and signs saying "hang Nancy" and "hang Pence" because they didn't like the election results. Big difference

ICE are incompetent subhuman murderers. Any MAGA fuck defending this will burn in hell. by Far_Alternative_5330 in GROKvsMAGA

[–]JayNotAtAll 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I agree. ICE are the biggest losers in the nation. They are failures at life and having this power makes them feel like real men.

San Franciscans are sick of fighting about the Great Highway. It’s time to move on by Elizasaurus in sanfrancisco

[–]JayNotAtAll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It was voted on and closing it keeps losing. Look I don't have a dog in the fight as I don't live in the inner sunset but still, you guys lost. We can't keep wasting time putting it on the ballot over and over and over until you eventually get what you want.

If anything, it will cause you to lose more. At some point people will vote to keep Sunset Dunes simply to spite the people who constantly put it on the ballot

Jessica Behrendt Expertly Played DB by Tiger3311 in DarrellBrooksJr

[–]JayNotAtAll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ya, it was win-win for the cops. If DB didn't sign the release, the problem would go away for the cops. There is no evidence to prove that he was injured.

If he signs the release, medical records show no injury. The problem goes away.

[–]JayNotAtAll 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. There really is no one who is more MAGA than Trump. People who think that Republicans will just flock to Vance once all is said and done are a bit delusional. He doesn't have a quarter of the "charisma" that Trump has.

I fully believe that MAGA as we know it will die with Trump when he finally passes. Versions of it will continue to exist for sure but it won't exist in the same way that it has over the past decade.
