My idea of free speech does not include my children or grandchildren entering a crouch of a cartoon woman. Just say'n.
No I know - it involves you having the right to sue the guys that did that - aswell as Trumps right as an elected leader to silence people that don’t agree with him - because it offended you rather than you changing based on others having free speech - that was the entire point (that is American free speech at its finest - free speech unless I disagree and sue you) - you guys are actually more pathetic than North Korea and Russia in that regard at least they own up to the fact they don’t have it

I almost feel that in America, freedom of speech is subjective. A lot of people quote the first amendment in cases where it is not applicable and will die on that hill. I do sometimes wonder if we as Americans were as educated as they claim to be, if there would be more civility. A lot of these fights are due to the fact that Americans do not know how to communicate or listen effectively.

how is this cheating?? the current map has San Antonio with a razor thin line to connect to Austin, these places are 75 miles apart at least
who was it that said there are no referees in this game and win at no cost?
explain how the republicans are cheating here!!
it doesn't have to be Third to explain this either, anyone of you gerrymandering crybabies can chime in here
draw the line in the sand and explain
the old map has Waco going like 9 hours east if you are driving 80mph, has anyone here even driven thru Texas?

I think what you have to consider is that while there are cities/parts of districts in Texas are spread wide, they are sparsely populated. No one lives in a lot of Texas. In Oregon, we have six congressional districts. Four of the six have atleast some portion in the Portland metro. One is district has both Eugene (U.of O) and Corvallis (OSU), and most of the coast. Then one district, district 2, encompasses all of central and eastern Oregon. It looks wild on a map. No one lives there though, with the exception of the Bend area. Wyoming has one congressional seat. The entire state. It's not about geography. It's about population.

Again, it's crazy what some people get away with in this forum when compared to what others are boxed for. To be clear, I don't think you should be boxed or even warned for calling my dude Trece an asshole. It's just that in the past week, i've been led to believe using thevword Democrats is somehow inflammatory. Double standards, you know? Nice attempt to try and distract from the topic at issue - the remainder of 2025, including the holidays, are going to be horribly expensive. Start saving a few months early so you aren’t hurting in November/December. Ya boy wished that I die - with a F-bomb I might add - for bringing this critical issue to people’s attention. Talk about thin-skinned. Save up early, and you won’t be hurting when December comes. I don’t wish anyone to die - except Putin and Netanyahu - I wouldn’t cry over those two - I just found it funny that the “world” is on the verge of world war 3 versus the biggest atomic nation on earth - a conflict Trump is a part of as he moves his nuclear submarines closer over here - in such a world I find it funny to talk Christmas presents - I am sorry - but yeah mostly because it is just so American as I said - it is like a school girl discussing with her girlfriends what makeup to wear the next day while a school shooting is happening But of course I know it is also a problem with expensive presents - and of course you can discuss that as well - I don’t know why it just came across funny to me - maybe it is just because it confirmed my presumption of a typical American
Some of us spend four figures on Christmas presents. So accounting for a 40% price increase due to the Braindead Dotard’s Tariffs and other economic mismanagement is something reasonable adults would need to account for early.
And it’s not like everything is cheap right now either. The cost of fresh vegetables rose 39% last month per the BLS, and beef is about 30-50% more than last year depending on the cut and the quality. That Tri tip I paid $24 for the last few years is now suddenly $33. So yeah, saving money for the year’s bigger spending events is even harder because of President Dementia J Chump, who still is unaware that Alaska is an American state.

I sure hope karma catches up with this disgusting criminal family.
Magas are huge blame for this being able to take place. I really think a caveman vs a maga on an IQ test. The caveman would totally blowout the maga morons. Hope they enjoy eating those tariffs

And it will only get worse - how many countries goods have been hit by tariffs yet ? Canada, China and Mexico ? There are 194 countries in the world apart from you - all of which in a few months will have tariffs on their items as well - not only will you not be able to import from them instead of those three mentioned countries trying to “cheat” around paying the tariffs - you will also be tariffed on pretty much everything from cars to pharmaceuticals and everything in between - and China is basically just cheap crap ! Try pay 15% on advanced machinery (that your industry and healthcare needs - so not that you have a choice but to pay) or an expensive car from EU - that can easily amount to 100k - 1 million difference in price

That’s most certainly the point of this thread, you nailed it. Just mind-boggling stupidity from a party who is now taxing the living hell out of everyone and everything. All because President “I TAEK DEMENTIA TESTS ON THE REG” thinks tariffs are a wise economic policy.
