I was very encouraged by his speech. The Democrats reacted like sulky children.

Doodledog Wed 05-Mar-25 05:47:56

What have you been inspired to do?

Arto1s Wed 05-Mar-25 05:55:00

Save America from the useless Democrats maybe?

Aveline Wed 05-Mar-25 05:58:22

I can only laugh. Otherwise I'd cry. It's a very bad time to be American

Arto1s Wed 05-Mar-25 06:02:08

You really think it’s OK to have transgender men in women’s sport? How can you possibly support this? We need the Republicans to bring back COMMENCE SENSE

Aveline Wed 05-Mar-25 06:04:04

Indeed. And spelling

Arto1s Wed 05-Mar-25 06:07:25

COMMON

Arto1s Wed 05-Mar-25 06:08:57

Aveline being condescending means nothing to me

Arto1s Wed 05-Mar-25 06:11:17

So, Aveline you agree with men being in women’s sport? Really?

Arto1s Wed 05-Mar-25 06:18:55

There’s my answer. No answer.

BlueBelle Wed 05-Mar-25 06:23:25

Artols if your support for a very crazy dangerous old criminal is built on the fact that he is against a man or some men cheating in sport then I feel very sorry for you
The world holds its breath
Perhaps this is just a provoking thread and I should have stayed in bed 🤣

Arto1s Wed 05-Mar-25 06:35:20

BlueBelle maybe you should. Under Biden, nothing was done, under for us, the Americans.

Galaxy Wed 05-Mar-25 06:37:04

If you think the Democrats will ever win whilst they support men in womens spaces then it might be worth thinking about who might feel sorry for you.
If people reject one level of insanity to simply embrace another I have very little hope.

Parsley3 Wed 05-Mar-25 06:38:56

What's being done for Americans now?

BlueBelle Wed 05-Mar-25 06:47:55

Artols I find it difficult talking to someone with a totally closed mind
nothing was done, under for us, the Americans as I ve no idea what this is meant to say I ll hand it back to you
I don’t care what happens in your country, your business, not mine, but I do care what this dangerous old man and his puppets are doing to the world

Aveline

Making a joke out of someone’s spelling is very low. Some people are dyslexic, or maybe just not great at spelling? Picking someone apart for that is horrible.
And often it’s a typo which I’m sure you know.

I agree with you Arto1s about men in women’s sport. Something needs to be done but our politicians are too scared to do anything. You’ll get little support on this board though, because despite it being mostly women, they don’t care that their very existence is slowly being destroyed. Too busy shouting ‘boo hiss’ at right wingers.

Kandinsky Wed 05-Mar-25 06:54:34

dangerous old man

And here we have ageism.

No need to add ‘old’ in that sentence. hmm

Parsley3 Wed 05-Mar-25 07:06:39

Hasn't the price of American eggs doubled in the last year? What is the president saying about that?

Kandinsky Wed 05-Mar-25 07:10:59

You think the price of eggs is as important as eradicating women’s rights?

Actually, you probably do, if you’re representing the views of the majority on this board.

ronib Wed 05-Mar-25 07:21:09

Bird flu resulted in culling of birds and high prices under Biden. Don’t see how that could have been avoided?
Food prices become important.

Parsley3 Wed 05-Mar-25 07:23:58

Food prices are important.

fancythat Wed 05-Mar-25 07:29:00

I dont normally comment on spelling grammar etc.
But when posters put in capital letters, I tend to walk away. No matter what they say.

BlueBelle Wed 05-Mar-25 07:33:35

Kadinski it’s a factual remark ……I m old too
I could say ‘young man’ about someone it’s a descriptive word not derogative unless you want to make it so
I could say ugly orange old man but chose to not be so cruel and just use a neutral description

Galaxy Wed 05-Mar-25 07:35:55

Food prices are important. It seems to be one of the reasons Trump was successful.

Babs03 Wed 05-Mar-25 07:39:55

US stock market in free fall due to crippling tariffs issued to China, Mexico, and Canada, that will come right back to bite ordinary Americans.
Hundreds of thousands of federal workers without jobs.
The POTUS cosying up to Putin in order to grab a deal over minerals whilst throwing Ukraine under the bus, thereby threatening the security of Europe.
Plans to make Gaza into a Trump themed resort.
Plans to take over Canada and Greenland.

And the OP cites men not being in women’s sports. Pretty soon I think that will be the very least of our worries.
