Again, how is reversing what Biden reversed on day one considered an abuse of office? When Biden decided to invite the world to our border and open it, was that done in the spirit of "democracy"? If Trump gets elected and closes the border so we can get a better grasp on who is trying to break into the country, how is that a bad thing?koobookie wrote: So you're fine with a presidential candidate that openly states that he will abuse the office of the president on day one.

I don't think you understand. Trump said he would abuse the powers of the president on day one. That should concern you, no matter what he intends to reverse. It's clear to pretty much everyone in the nation, except you and the other MAGA's, that he wants absolute power.Rick wrote: Again, how is reversing what Biden reversed on day one considered an abuse of office?

Is it your contention that Trump did not break any laws, that he is being indicted and prosecuted as a political retribution? Because the evidence against him, in the 91 indictments and four trials, is pretty damning.Rick wrote: If you want to know what dictators do, look at history. Dictators ALWAYS attempt to jail or kill their political enemies. Trump could have done that to Hillary for her blatant crimes of destroying classified documents and destroying all the devices and hard drives.
www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/11/...interview-univision/Donald Trump gave his first interview to Univision on Thursday and reminded the nation that should he resume the presidency, he could very well embark on a revenge tour against his political enemies. The next morning his son, Don Jr., floated installing an acting attorney general who wants to unleash a “reign of terror” against those responsible for Trump’s indictments, as well as a pro-white nationalist press secretary.
You and I both know that he is insecure and petty enough to do that.In an interview that aired Thursday night on Univision, former president Donald Trump indicated that if he’s elected in 2024, he may use the federal government to punish his critics and he defended his administration’s separation of migrant families at the U.S.-Mexico border.
You really need to step back and reconsider what you believe. I know that you have a strong hatred for what you call "leftists", but geeez, Rick, demonizing half the American population is not a healthy activity. You're gonna blow a gasket with all that hatred.Rick wrote: BUT, we know that the government hid Hunter Biden's crimes for years and tried to take out Trump since his first day as president. It's not hard to see what side is using dictator tactics, you just have to be honest and look at the facts.

Please don't put words in my mouth, I never said "I hate leftists"... I hate leftist politicians who are destroying the country. Big difference there.koobookie wrote: Wow. I hardly know where to start.

Do you consider an executive order to be an abuse of power? Because that is all Trump can do, just like Biden has done far more than Trump. Everything you fear is what Biden has already done.

Trump didn't have the system behind him like Joe does so he couldn't take her down like the Democrats and the system are doing to Trump. She even said Trump stole the election, but the system Dictators need all parts of the government to follow orders... Trump never had any of that advantage like Biden has.
Remember, it is Trump who has publicly stated that he will weaponize the DOJ against his political enemies and the media.

Do you remember the chant of "Lock her up" during his 2016 campaign? How is that not a threat of political revenge against her? Then remember that Hillary was investigated, during the Trump administration, and was not charged with any crime, despite what you might think.
Hill;ay is a corrupt piece of trash that destroyed classified documents and got a hand slap for it, while Trump is being charged for much less, and he was the President who has more authority the the Secretary of State. She should have been locked up but Trump did nothing to her. Also remember she said Trump stole the election... election deniers are ok in you are a Democrat.

I still don't know where you get your "facts."

If Trump is elected, he will have the executive branch and the supreme court on his side. He will probably also have the legislative branch, thanks to all the gerrymandering and voter suppression by the Republicans. He will pretty much be able to do what he wants, since all the chips will be on his side.Rick wrote: Do you consider an executive order to be an abuse of power?

Again, she was investigated by Trump's DOJ and not charged with any crimes. Also, she didn't encourage her supporters to storm the Capitol to try to subvert an election. She conceded, something Donald can never seem to do.Rick wrote: Hill;ay is a corrupt piece of trash that destroyed classified documents and got a hand slap for it, while Trump is being charged for much less, and he was the President who has more authority the the Secretary of State.

BTW, it was Obama's FBI that gave Hillary a pass for hiding and destroying classified documents. The same FBI was there when Trump was elected, so why would anything change?koobookie wrote: Again, she was investigated by Trump's DOJ and not charged with any crimes.

Rick wrote: The Democrat party can only get and keep power by creating victims and villains. The problem they never see is that there is no such thing as "equality". Nobody is equal to anyone else, everybody is different and everyone has different abilities. They want to pretend that male and female bodies/minds are interchangeable... they are not. God or nature made us differently for a reason, just like in the animal kingdom.
It used to be normal for the men to provide a home, food, and everything else a family needs while the women took care of the family. Both are equally important for a society to survive and thrive. The fact that that "norm" has drastically changed and the results of that change are not always good, tells me that humans are not very good at changing natural order for the better. That may make you angry, but it doesn't mean that I'm wrong. The destruction of the nuclear will be the death of this country imo, along with the willful surrender of our freedoms to a centralized world government.
There are many reasons for differences in pay and you can't make blanket statements without looking at the individual careers and individual circumstances. That goes for everything else on HA's list... circumstances matter a lot.

There's a reason why the military lowers standards for women and men over a certain age (I believe it's around 45). The biological differences don't make men "better" than women, it just makes the average man more capable than the average woman in situations where physical strength is an important qualification.Rick wrote: SORRY, PARITY is a problem...if I am doing the exact same job and doing it exceptionally well,my pay should not be based upon my gender.

Looking at all life forms on this planet, there is no doubt the males and females are almost always universally different in their natural roles. It's only the human species that has decided to go against those natural abilities and roles, even to the point of pretending to change genders to fit a confused mind. But that is a topic for another thread , not this one.

www.britannica.com/animal/sea-horse
The reproductive behaviour of seahorses is notable in that the male carries the fertilized eggs. After an elaborate courtship, the female uses an ovipositor (egg duct) to place her eggs into a brood pouch located at the base of the male’s tail where the eggs are later fertilized. Depending on the species, the eggs remain in the pouch between 10 days and six weeks. During this time the male nurtures the developing young by regulating the chemistry of the fluid inside the pouch, slowly transforming it from that of his internal body fluids to that of salt water as pregnancy progresses. To nourish the growing young, the male also produces inorganic compounds and releases the hormone prolactin, which helps break down the proteins contributed by the female. Once the eggs hatch, the male convulses his body and expels the young through a single opening in the pouch. The young are miniature versions of their parents that receive no further care. The male can receive another brood of eggs almost immediately after giving birth
There r MANY other species that have sex traits that r not "normal"(according to your definition) Please
understand that other species r just like humans.......one size does not fit all and sex diversity is quite common in other creatures here on earth.
You did not speak to the issue of WHY previous "normal" is obsolete.. I agree that military standards r different,I am not speaking of that sector....I am speaking of civilian life. PARITY IS POOR.
