Buyers' remorse already??

Even the greediest corporations understand the importance of CORE VALUES to attract and retain good employees who can help their grow their wealth.

Jokers decide to abandon any sort of value system, to embrace a joker (even though its not funny at all) based on some totally debunked, mythical 'effectiveness' all while he incessantly spat in the faces of colored people.

Something about people here who love ignore overwhelming evidence because of inherent biases and agendas. Ludicrous.

So much blame to go around. It is almost like this is fated to happen. Trump shocking the world and himself in 2016, Covid coming around and Biden winning in 2020 only to see the return of Trump but a worse version with no controls in place.

The beginning of the end?

Do you think that Greenland is extremely cold frozen tundra that is mostly unlivable with little or no green grass? smile Someone should teach him some history and suggest he buy Iceland instead.

Regarding Panama. Don't just take back the canal. Take the whole country. I like Panama City a lot.

I hear you bruh...but these billionaires have convinced a whole bunch of people otherwise. Its unreal. They have been totally distracted by much more benign issues. I mean...even if you expose a heterosexual kid to LGBQT tolerance and acceptance...will that make them gay?? The answer is a big fat no. Tolerance, acceptance and giving everyone (including black women) a seat at the table will NOT make your straight child gay. Pure nonsense how supposedly educated people allowed themselves to be distracted like that.

Meanwhile the much more nefarious agenda runs amok.

2. Trump threatened to revoke the visas of pro-Palestinian students
3. Trump said Gaza will have hell to pay

So where exactly has Trump shown any sympathy towards Gaza?

Please bravos give us something to work with. Anything. And while you are at it give the Ukrainians some comfort too that they will get support against an invading force.

You can stop pretending by including this lol

We all know Trump is going to provide Israel with even more weapons of mass genocide.

You know Trump publicly said Caitlyn Jenner can use any bathroom in Trump tower that she wants to.

This is what I do not understand about this Trump phenomenon:

1. We believe all politicians are liars
2. People are not born politicians
3. So liars must be attracted to politics
4. Bravos & Co know Trump tells a lot of lies
5. Trump is now a politician
6. Logic thrown out the window
7. Trump is different he talks straight does what he says I trust him with my life he is Orange Jesus

It is crazy. Trump says whatever he thinks you want to hear. He really does not care one bit about abortions, alphabets or illegals. All he cares about is his money. So if you need him to uphold your values he will only do it once it is of benefit to him. The kind of friend you would quickly part ways.

bravos 2024-12-26 20:12:00 

In reply to Halliwell

Like I said before I only found real interest in the man after I realized he made some promises that go well with me, and then occurred to me this a real opportunity for them to get done.

More so because of the unorthodox approach more akin to a successful fat agressive greedy selfish self-serving opportunistic capitalist businessman pig enthusiastically pursuing and closing a business deal, rather than the same ole same ole long drawn out processsssses,dialougeeeeeee and even positions of no compromise by the cleancut diplomatic tongue twisters who only push one agenda, and this goes for both sides.

I'm not really invested, I just see a rare opportunity and know this is the best chance for some quick results on certain pressing issues .

My position was that the US people voted the man in overwhelmingly and who am I to remain a bitter hateful critic ? Then I went back and started listening to the man's message with an open objective mind and a few things stood out to me like I said, so basically I'm just trying to at least make it work for me .

To me it's embarrassing ,the behavior of big men here simply because I chose to give the.man a chance. His first admin has nothing to do with the next, it's a different world with differnt issues and some are important to me and it just so happened Trump mentioned them and it just so happened that he won .

I tried the hate like nick Cheeks and others but it does nothing for me, but the thought of Trump executing on those promises dear to me is very inspiring, and not on Trump's part but on the objectives I support, this is bigger than Trump for me, it's really sad and uninspiring that all these big men are still stuck up Trump's ass even now, time to get out and make some Trump lemonade with the sour lemon that is Trump, it may dilute/yield/stretch well.


Initially the only plus for me when I found out he won was the fact that he's against US war mongering, and then I delved deeper and realized he specifically mentioned ending the bloodshed, well the icing on the cake was when I saw a vid of him committing to ending the 'woke' joke!


I think people should grow up ,try to be open minded and display a bit more intelligence. I have been basically saying in so many words that I am merely using the defective but useful exclusive tool that is Trump to my benefit, while intelligent men far and wide continue to cry wail and talk bitter repetitive nonsense acting like narcissistic sore loser kids in a playground, well the bell has rung and they still in the f@cking playground and that's the problem, is that productive behavior in your opinion?

So should the US and life stop for the next four years ? Man I fed up with this shit tbh, it's as if you're being terrorized for even acknowledging Trump is a fellow human being, more and more the current left and their sycophantic supporters seems to be the more dangerous side akin to the cultism they accuse others of.

The embarrassing this is what you typed. And you still hit the save button.

I think I will follow Cheeks' advice. This is not remotely an intelligent debate.

You say you are against genocide and gender mutilation. You say you like what Trump is saying and want to give him a chance.

1. He has not given you any reassurance he will help the people in Gaza. He has given you every reassurance he will side with Israel. You know the country committing the genocide.

2. He once said a transgender can use any bathroom she wants. He also said he was going to be a better for the LGBTQ community than Hillary would be. He held up a flag saying Gays for Trump.

And I get you like winners but we are not bitter because we are losers; we are bitter because we thought people would be better than this. That people would not do exactly what you are doing now. Trump will continue to be an embarrassment and you will prefer to say let him do him because people voted for him. What part of people also supported Hitler you do not understand? The winner is not always the better person.

Again Trump is a horrible human being and there are countless examples of that. He threw his own children under the bus.

Abortion rights I would argue for but not pediatric genital mutilation. You really think kids should have such a 'right' ? It's kids we're talking about, they have no clue what they want, I know, I was once one, and don't you think kids could be easily influenced ? Well it's that influence that is being adressed in schools etc and that's what I support, bro the shyte is spreading all over even in our islands !!

What anyone on the sane side of the world is trying to tell you is simple:

Trump is a con man and he only says what the idiots want to hear. The things that he actually does are going to be meaningless and the meaningful things he promises he will never deliver on.

At the core of his 2016 election was "Build A Wall" and Mexico would pay for it. He built no new wall, Mexico never paid and his friends grifted the government.

Bravos the man is a LIAR. So it is useless coming in here and talking about the things he says because he is a LIAR.

And does? He was in office for 4 years and because of him America handled COVID worse than shithole countries. How would you feel if you lost a loved one because he listened to Trump? Regeneron! Ivermectin! This is nothing! Will go from 15 to 0!

I wish people gave me the passes in life that they give to Trump. White Privilege is a heckuva thing.

Let us give bravos the benefit of the doubt to further the conversation.

What is the point of quoting suicide rates when you have a group of people who cannot be happy because society will not let them be happy?

I find it very disappointing that brown and black people would look down on the alphabet people. Everyone who was once persecuted and thought of as lesser than should be able to relate.

Men liking men and women liking women is nothing new. Men dressing like women is nothing new. The only new things are medical advancements and increasing tolerance by state (same sex marriage) and society.

But...

I understand the world we live in. Bravos doesn't like it and even though it does not affect him at all and it is someone's personal choice he has an opinion so strong he would support a lying, cheating, stealing, adulterer because he is on the same side as him on the issue. Steal from a charity. Sleep with a porn star while his wife home with the baby. Care nothing about the safety of his VP when a mob is trying to hang said VP. Brag about sexual assault. Take pleasure in demeaning people. Lazy. Dumb. Immoral. Corrupt.

Yea that guy. Because it is far better in life to be that guy than a person who is struggling with his/her gender.

Humanity really is a piece of work.

Looking at black/ brown people throwing the baby out with the bathwater based on the utterings of a proven lying conman is interesting. The fake outrage re the LGBQT from guys who say there is no god is even more interesting.

I think some fellas want to live a life of lack of accountability vicariously through DJT.

Interesting. But like everything else in life...there will be people who will try to abuse DEI. Its a dynamic situation that will need constant adjustment and research to be honest.

Posts like the one above yours can't bother to deal with nuance and want everything to be dumbed down to black or white, right or wrong etc etc when the real world doesn't work like that. There are multiple views, background, cultures to consider and manage and getting to a point of where everyone feels like that they have won, been heard, to the point where acceptable compromises can be made is a moving target.

Wanna be dictators like Trump appeal to those who can't bothered though.

The constant refrain about the genocide is interesting. These jokers know that Trumps idea to end it is for Israel to 'finish this fast' but they incessantly beat the drum.

Give it time though. The DJT experiment failed spectacularly the first time and hopefully will not fail again...but I am not optimistic.

The "genocide" talk is one of the most ridiculous going around for supporting criminal45. This is the guy who reversed years of US policy as well as tacit international agreements and moved the US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Is it any wonder that the Zionist criminal practiced election interference by continuing to pursue this war against widespread national, US and international opposition and refuse several peace proposals?

In reply to bravos

Bravs, you said:

Are you aware of the suicide rates among individuals who have undergone such transformations? It's the highest rate in the entire world for any group.


Then what you submitted dealt only with a single US study, and spoke about transgender folks and not persons after they undertake ‘transformation’. The article doesn’t rank its numbers against those of ‘other groups’. I’ll continue to look into it myself and report back.

Transgender is not mainstream, and these folks would deal with a lot of personal issues and societal pressures, having to operate in a group they don’t think they belong to and having to actively try and move to one they do, so from a research point of view they are already predisposed to be in the categories cited (thought and attempted suicide and self harm).

These kinds of people need support, not further oppression.

I wish the decision makers would use the expertise of endocrinologists in their think tanks.
