Redefine words and terms; a favorite pastime of leftists.
As though we didn’t have to deal with redefined words and terms from our presidents long before this? Your buddy was a pro.
We have record inflation and store shelves are empty where products we would like to buy even at the higher prices should be. The economy is shit, Mr. President. Call it anything you want, but it's excrement.

We currently live in a glorious time where a combination of partisanship and general stupidity among people in general has led politicians to realize they can say virtually anything and their base will swallow every bit of it due to either not wanting to concede ANYTHING to the other side (partisanship) or they actually legit believe it (stupidity).
"The election was stolen" "The economy is not in a recession and we just got them gas prices lowered to only about $1.50 or so more than they were a couple years ago instead of $2.50 more".
But, hey, it keeps all the useful (and useless) idiots on both sides occupied, so they don't have to do anything resembling critical thinking to realize minor details such as how the only winners of these pissing matches are the politicians in charge and the big money donors who have them in their pockets. After all, if there's something wrong in your life, it's the OTHER SIDE causing it, while YOUR SIDE is doing its best, but just can't quite get over the hump due to obstructionists!!

Pretty sure the leftists have the market cornered on new terms/meanings:
woman - no such thing
birthing person - female or male
her/she/they/it
trans ______________fill-in-the-blank
recession - faux recession
abortion - reproductive right
Marxist - progressive
and on and on and on ....
You forgot one....
The Choco Taco just got cancelled.
Immeasurable....

I’m not denying all of those examples. I just don’t understand why people like you are so intent on seeing one side of this as a problem but not the other. The “elite” you refer to is the political class, not a left or right. That BS is what the elite pushes.
Kill tens of thousands of Iraqis = they hated us for our freedom
Covid vaccine = population control device
Working with allies = new world order
Criticize Israel = antisemitism
Separate church and state = war on Christians
It plays both ways.
That's easy. People like to cheerlead.

I guess so. I’m just very cynical about any of these people. They all have an agenda. Collectively the have a huge agenda and it ain’t in any of our interests. I also think the hypothesis is true that most of these people are psychopaths - not in the figurative “oh that guy’s kind of crazy” kind of way, but in actual able-to-be-diagnosed psychopaths. If they weren’t from privilege, they’d probably be selling dope and murdering sorority girls.
Lol if y’all don’t think the left is absolutely ridiculous, please educate me. The gender shit is never going to fly. Parents care way too much about their kids to let these clowns tell their kids they can be whatever they want and they should learn sexual shit at age 6. It’s never gonna work, but please try to prove me otherwise. The left is too woke for their own good
I also repeatedly said Trump was a dipshit and hope he doesn’t run in 2024. But go put your pronouns in your bio. And I hope you get monkeypox.

I agree the far left is nuts. The far right is nuts too. The problem is that these people represent a fraction of our country. However they are the ones who command the attention because one provokes the outrage of the other and vice versa.
Saying they’re both bad but one’s worse than the other is like complementing one turd for not stinking quite as bad as the other turd. You’re still just giving all your attention to shit.

No, we are good to go because the WH changed the definition of a recession 2 days ago…

The gaslighting is never ending with these nuts.
But I thought they weren’t “coming for your guns”?!
They are literally talking about an Australian like forced buy back of all semi-automatic rifles.

In our culture, this won’t happen I don’t believe. However, that’s not what this guy says in this video. He says current assault weapons owners would be allowed to keep theirs. That’s not what happened in Australia.

If you watched the video and the longer version he says he wants that part to change, that there would be no “grandfatbering” of current gun owners.
They can try but they will fail. I’m not turning in shit regardless of potential penalty.

They never would. No cop is going to straight sacrifice their life for such a stupid thing. But I hope they try.

I don't think the SCOTUS is going to allow them to take guns. They'd need to replace 2 Cons with Liberals on the court for it to be allowed.
Saw a WaPo article saying how AR makers "made millions marketing the guns as "manly". So they seem to be trying to say they're responsible for these shootings. In other words, a "manliness" campaign is somehow responsible for these suicidal cowards committing mass murder.

Yeah, the way I look at it is that if they try, it'll be a Civil War they can't win because instead of "one half the country against the other half", it'll be pure "people vs. people". And living in a rural area, I think I'd put my faith in the locals.
Don't know who the "he" is that made the video being talked about due to not caring enough to waste my time clicking on the link (even if I care enough to post on it!), but from the tone here, he's like the 20 House Pubs (many, if not all, being of the crazy-ass Trump disciple clan) who voted against the bill to help out human trafficking victims, or the ACO brand of Dems and their "fake handcuff" shit. The trash groups that need chopped out of politics, but instead seem to be getting more prevalent because our country gets more moronic by the day.
In reality, we can debate the Constitution on this Amendment or that, but we're an embarrassment to the dudes that did the thing, because they'd have trashed the current system we have and any party apologist for either one would be a Tory.
So many words
In case you weren't aware—the Biden Regime is attempting to swap Viktor Bout, a Russian prisoner convicted of “conspiracy to kill U.S. citizens and officials, delivery of anti-aircraft missiles, and providing aid to a terrorist organization” for a WNBA Player who hates America.

I don't think that is fully correct. I believe there is also a capture American Marine involved in the swap as well. Also, Charlie Kirk is a dork and should be shoved in a locker.
I'm not saying I agree or disagree with the swap, but Kirk isn't telling the whole story.
