  1. You want to know what our military is under Biden? It’s a military that’s not at war… for the first time in 22 years. THAT’S the U.S. military under Biden.
  2. The issue is that you are not being honest by accepting only this man’s quoted words exactly, and ignoring their meaning. Sure, of course raising children is more satisfying than working. We work so that we can raise children. It’s all great that NFL kickers make enough money to afford a full time at home mom, but not all families today can afford that, not by a long shot. And he clearly implied that it’s women who should stay at home to raise kids and not men, which is sexist.
  3. So? You don’t think it’s insulting to tell an audience of women who just got their degrees that they just wasted four years and all they’re good for is staying at home to make and raise babies? You’re a sexist. Men can raise children just as well as women. Many have done it. Millions of women have raised successful families while holding down careers.
  4. You didn’t answer my question. Why do you think it’s the women who should stay home and not men?
  5. Isn’t that what Israel is doing? Your answer is vague.
  6. Now hold on… Here we have a guy giving a commencement speech, telling women to stay at home and not have careers. That doesn’t mean the only alternative is that no woman should have children. WTF ever happened to freedom and liberty? If a woman and her husband choose for her to stay and home and raise kids, great! If a woman chooses not to have kids, great! If a woman chooses kids and career, great! Freedom! Liberty! Live your life!
  7. Any woman can make a good sandwich, But it takes two women to make an excellent sandwich!
  8. Can you name one Trump cabinet official who said that Trump did a great job? Cause there’s a HUGE list of his own cabinet secretaries who said he was terrible.
  9. Q: How can you tell a manager is bad? A: He drives his business into bankruptcy.
  10. Maybe Butker wants women to stay home cause, when women play on men’s football teams, it’s his position they play.
  11. George Bush got a briefing that said, “bin Laden Determined to Attack.” But could he have really stopped the 9/11 attacks? Very difficult to say. It’s always easy to piece together the clues after the fact. You are defending terrorists. The terrorists attacked Israel and declared war and said they will keep fighting. There is only one way to stop this: You wage war until your enemy surrenders or is destroyed. You think like an umpire. Israel does not have that luxury. They have Israeli citizens — Muslim and Jew — to defend. That is their responsibility, not the children in the schools that are build above Hamas’ tunnels. Hamas is responsible for protecting Gaza’s children, and they aren’t doing that. You care more about the children of Gaza than Hamas does. I think it’s better for the children of Gaza to destroy Hamas. Since their own parents are too cowardly to do it, then the IDF has to. And they will.
  12. Is Gaza wealthier than Egypt and Libya? That's news! Is their per capita GNP larger than those other nations? No. The difference is Jews. What's really going on is that ultra-liberal people of all stripes see this as some sort of "White People Colonizing the Dark-Skinned people" situation. But that's not the situation. Over half of Israeli Jews are Sephardic. That means they are ethnically Arabs, no different from Palestinians. And they're in Israel because they or their families were forcibly expelled from their ancestral Arab nations, including Libya, Ethiopia, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Tunisia, Morocco, etc... and, once again... NOBODY GIVES A SH1T! Right? Cause it's OK to kick a Jew out. Right? Have you ever heard anyone ever protest the Jews getting expelled from the Arab countries? Nope. Crickets.
  13. Let me ask you the World's Simplest Question: If tomorrow you became Prime Minister of Israel, and Hamas has: Attacked your country Declared War Murdered 1,400 civilians Kidnapped 250 additional civilians Refused to step down from power Refused to stop fighting against you Would you honestly just withdraw from Gaza and keep Hamas in power? The government of Israel, liberal or conservative, has an obligation to defend its citizens. If Israel withdraws from Gaza, Hamas will remain in power and they will continue to attack Israel. That would be unacceptable to: Israel, and Any other nation on Earth in similar circumstances Hamas is a terrorist organization. They seized power in Gaza by pulling the elected Fatah leaders from their homes and murdering them in the streets. You are literally and actually defending terrorists. You have already acknowledged that there is no way for Israel to defeat Hamas without incurring civilian casualties, especially because all Hamas combatant deaths are being classified as "civilian." If Israel kills a 16 year-old Hamas fighter armed with an AK-47, then "Israel has murdered a civilian child."
  14. Some facts from the United Nations about the War in Sudan: Estimated that over 2.5 million killed -- more than the entire population of Gaza! Current conflict ongoing since April 15, 2023 -- more than 2x as long as War in Gaza! Has displaced over 8.6 million people -- more than 4x the population of Gaza! Healthcare facilities, equipment and workers repeatedly attacked -- but it's ok, cause it's not Jews doing it! 2.7 million children face acute malnutrition -- more than 5x the amount in Gaza! Anti-semitism is alive and well in the United States of America. The anti-Israel protests are fueled by hatred of Jews. Has any campus protested: War in Sudan? NO War in Ukraine? NO Rwandan Genocide? NO War in Haiti? NO War in Nigeria? NO War in Burkina Faso? NO War in Somalia? NO Anti-semitism is alive and well in the United States of America. The anti-Israel protests are fueled by hatred of Jews.
  15. The backwards CNN logo looked very suspicious and untrustworthy.
  16. I do understand that if Israel denied the money, you’d criticize them for blocking food and medicine from coming into Gaza… wouldn’t you? The terrorist group Hamas invaded Israel AND DECLARED WAR. When, in all of human history, was a nation criticized for responding to an invasion by a foreign nation? Why is it that ONLY JEWS ARE’T ALLOWED TO DEFEND THEMSELVES? If Israel stops fighting today and leaves Gaza, Hamas will DEFINITELY murder more Israeli civilians. You may think that Israel should sacrifice Israeli lives to save Palestinian lives, but I do not. Can you even name any historical accomplishments of Palestinians besides inventing modern terrorism?
  17. No, it is clear that Trump will try another rebellion if he loses in November.
  18. The lie about inflation is that it’s additive; we haven’t had deflation for a very long time. If your rent is $1,000 a month, and inflation makes it $1,100… then inflation will make it $1,200 after that. Prices just go up and up. If you buy a house, you manage to flatten the biggest monthly expense you have, and if interest rates go down, you can actually reduce your monthly expenses, and if you put solar panels on your roof, your electric bill becomes near-zero after you’ve amortized the panels, which takes about seven years. Learn how to fix and maintain your car, and keep it fifteen years instead of three, and you’ll vastly reduce your second biggest expense. Cook your food at home instead of eating out, and you’ll slash your third biggest expense. These are the paths to financial success and it’s how you’ll beat inflation, whether the rate is 3% or 10%.
  19. Your argument: As tax rates decreased, female workforce participation increased. So you’re arguing that if we raise taxes, fewer women will work? To be honest, I don’t understand your point at all. People have kids. Kids can be raised best when there’s a parent at home to care for them, whether that person is a mom or dad. But, most families these days cannot afford to have a single working parent, and with our nation’s near-50% divorce rate, it’s clear that half of families wind up needing two working parents. In any event, no matter how you slice it, his speech is clearly sexist. If a woman has a remarkable career, why shouldn’t Dad stay at home?
  20. You’re just playing word games to avoid addressing the point. The Republicans have spent the last four years complaining that the economy is terrible, and that people cannot make ends meet, so not surprising that many families need two sources of income, right? And, yeah, the super-genius football kicker figured out that it’s more fun and rewarding to stay at home and raise your kids. But not all families can get by on a single income.
  21. I see. So only you are able to understand what he said. Why don’t you enlighten us?
  22. First, oil gets billions of dollars in tax breaks of all kinds. Second, the U.S. went to war in Iraq TWICE to protect our oil interests. Third… how is oil “winning” against alternative energy? Wind and solar are BOOMING these days; the growth of them for US electricity generation has been exploding. And electric car sales keep growing. You’re just a typical Trumper. You make up whatever BS you want and declare victory. When someone shows you facts you call them fake. But you don’t know what you’re talking about at all. You are foolishly gambling the future of the world on make believe ideas that aren’t based on fact.
  23. You’re the one who’s being dishonest here. The person who wrote the article said “kitchen.” Kitchen/Home… same intent. This is what he actually said: “I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolic lies told to you. Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world.” So… what is he actually saying? I’m a man, and I’ve had a career, and my children are way more exciting than my job. But it sure as heck seems that he’s saying that women shouldn’t have careers at all, and that they should be religious stay at home moms.
