    Yet most of you support religious organizations that exist only to groom children not to mention the thousands of children they openly raped and y’all called for zero new policy to prevent it going forward.

    I really like this quote from one of your side, it seems to apply perfectly:

    Your untruths reflect only on you.

    Please stick to the topic and quit trying to make your fellow poster the topic.

    You isn’t necessarily singular, you are the one that brought up children — if you don’t want to introduce a subject into a topic then don’t.

    This isn't the first time that you have claimed that I support the rape of children. Stick to the topic and quite trying to make me the topic.

    I realize that this discussion isn't going well for you or the Left, but that does not justify personal attacks on your fellow posters.

    WILL DEMOCRATS DIE ON THE TRANS HILL?
    [​IMG]
    'We are all being bombarded with propaganda on behalf of the trans movement, in which carving up children’s genitals is described as “gender affirming,” perhaps the most Orwellian turn of phrase of our time. But so far, at least, the people are not on board. In a widely reported poll, the Washington Post found, to its dismay, that an overwhelming majority oppose men competing in women’s sports: 62 percent opposed.'

    I predict that more and more Dems will simply come to their senses on this issue. I'm hopeful for a massive step by the Dems back to true Freedom, Liberty, and Liberalism.

    The true heir.

    'In a widely reported poll, the Washington Post found, to its dismay, that an overwhelming majority oppose men competing in women’s sports:'

    '62 percent opposed allowing trans athletes in youth sports, 66 percent opposed trans inclusion in high school sports, and 65 percent opposed trans inclusion in college and professional sports.'

    And that poll included an oversampling of trans by nearly 64 TIMES!

    'The question, really, is whether women’s sports should be allowed to exist. If men could compete in the Women’s National Basketball Association, there wouldn’t be any women in the Women’s NBA.'

    There is much about the trans ideology movement that is a vicious and wholesale attack on women. Trans is not dissimilar to Patriarchy in that regard.

    'The Washington Post poll also found broad opposition to gender-negating “health care.”'

    'Nearly 7 in 10 adults said they oppose allowing children ages 10 to 14 access to medication that stops the body from going through puberty, and nearly 6 in 10 oppose giving 15- to 17-year-olds access to hormone treatments.'

    You can personally attack me all you want and it does nothing to change the fact that the folks on the Left pusing this vicious attack on Americans, are being increasingly rejected, and the rejection is approaching overwhelming margins.

    I said “most of you support religious organizations”. How you came to the conclusion you support rape is… strange.

    Very few democrats and moderates support surgery on very young children. And few support trans individuals from being in highly competitive physical sports. Poll after poll shows this. That you are having to keep saying it after being shown this says a ton about the narrative.

    And yes, trans people are people and deserve equal rights like everyone else and that includes making personal decisions in consultation with their medical team.

    Small government team red believe politicians should make these choices.

    that was about guns. where my comments apply is to some of the hard core abortion banners who oppose abortion in cases of rape and claim it is "for the children"

    It might have been about gun but it applies to a host of issues from trans rights, to medical accessibility, to bodily autonomy.

    Everyone seem to be ok with violating the issues of others under the guise of “the children” as long as they disagree with it. The moment it’s reversed suddenly “the children” suddenly don’t really matter all that much.

    The difference is when there is a valid current cause, and when it's pure guano. The left prefers guano over reality.

    So what religions "exist only to groom children?" Back up your claim with facts. That statements goes way beyond even the extreme hyperbole one often sees here.

    Fratty? At any frat party I ever attended the drink of choice was grain alcohol and grape juice. What sort of frat drinks light beer? I guess times have changed.

    Their Market Cap is now down $11B. Seems like a story.

    THE DAILY CHART: BEER BUBBLES BURST TOO
    [​IMG]
    'Trannheuser-Busch may have committed the single largest brand-killing move in the history of marketing with their Dylan Mulvaney stunt. Not only are real beer drinkers mad and avoiding the brand, but the identity politics faction is mad and avoiding the brand, too, because they are mad at Trannheuser-Busch for trying to rectify their blunder.'

    Down a $11B now. Doesn't look like they are "fine".

    https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/BUD?p=BUD&.tsrc=fin-srch

    GREAT MOMENTS IN TOLERANCE FOR A DIVERSITY OF IDEAS: Video shows liberals heckle, violently storm out of comedy show after comedian makes Dylan Mulvaney jokes: ‘F*** you, transphobe!’

    'During [Chrissie] Mayr’s comedy set, the comedian delved into the hot-button topic of Dylan Mulvaney – the TikTok star of the controversial “Days of Girlhood” series and center figure of the Bud Light debacle.'

    'Mayr mocked Mulvaney for identifying as a female, yet never committing to undergoing gender reassignment surgery despite declaring to be a girl for more than a year. When Mayr questioned Mulvaney for not getting a sex change operation, someone in the audience shouted: “Because he’s a man!”'

    'An irritated woman disagreed and then yelled, “No. She’s a woman!”'

    Mayr reacted by saying, “Uh oh, uh oh, we have one of those.”

    'Mayr then lampooned the heckler with a misdirection joke, “No, it’s all good. We can all have different beliefs, it’s okay. Some of us can believe in reality and some of us can’t. This is America, we should have different beliefs, it’s all good.”'

    'The woman and her friends were outraged and stormed out of the comedy show. One of the women shrieked while exiting, “F*** you, transphobe!”'

    'The crowd applauded that the offended liberal women were leaving the show.'

    NICE!

    'Mayr claimed that the women violently stormed out of the venue, knocking over her merchandise table. She also said that the women “went straight to management to complain.”'

    NATURALLY THIS TRANS NAZI WANTS HIM DEPLATFORMED FOR WRONG THINK/WRONG SPEAK

    Mayr came to the conclusion, “This is the conflict when it comes to comedy and Leftists. It’s just not compatible.”

    'Why, it’s as if all comedy is conservative or something.'

    Bud Light Sales Crash "Getting Much Worse" In Latest Week Since Dylan Mulvaney Fiasco
    [​IMG]
    Whoops!
    .
    'The latest industry figures show that Bud Light’s sales slump deepened into May as the fallout from the brand’s engagement with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney continues to hammer Bud Light’s bottom line.'

    'Sales volumes of Bud Light fell by 23.6 percent in the week ended on May 6, according to retail scanner numbers cited by Beer Business Daily that are based on Nielsen IQ data.'

    'That’s a drop from the 23.3 percent slide Bud Light suffered in the final week of April.'

    'Meanwhile, sales volumes for Anheuser-Busch, the company that makes Bud Light, fell 9.7 percent in the first week of May.'

    Now Market Cap is down $16 Billion.

    They didn't like their existing customers, too fratty, and wanted new ones. Their existing customers were more than happy to get out of the way of them attacking the customers they actually wanted.

    FALLOUT: Panic at Anheuser-Busch: One Beer Vendor Is PAYING People to Drink Bud Light.

    Now down $15B. Seems like a story.

    https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/BUD?p=BUD&.tsrc=fin-srch

    'Tranheuser-Busch is panicking. Sales of Bud Light have been in the gutter ever since it presented the ubiquitous fingernails-on-chalkboard fake woman Dylan Mulvaney as the new face of the brand, and there is no sign that the alleged beer will break out of its nosedive anytime soon. And so now, Anheuser-Busch’s obediently woke but desperate marketing wonks are giving the stuff away, offering a $20 rebate on a $19.98 case of Bud Light. Can patriots be bought for two cents and some watery beer? We shall see.'

    '“Tranny fluid's” familiar blue bottles will soon give way to camouflage packaging. The cynical millennial marketing team figures, “That’ll bring those redneck rubes back. They love the military and war.” Bud Light might as well put up billboards nationwide saying, “Please, patriots, don’t be angry, even though we haven’t apologized, and buy our beer again!” But the beer baron’s cynicism and desperation are palpable.'

    '“nationwide retail sales of the brand were down 23.6% versus a year ago in the week ending May 6 — its fifth straight week of declines, according to Bump Williams Consulting and NielsenIQ data.” And it’s not only Bud Light. Budweiser is “down 9.7% versus an 11.4% drop a week earlier; Michelob Ultra, down 2.9% versus 4.3%; and Natural Light, down 2.5% versus 5.2% the previous week.”'

    'panicked Anheuser-Busch top dogs last week “held a meeting at its US headquarters in St. Louis with distributors to discuss its strategy for dealing with the backlash.” One plan these geniuses came up with was “a temporary redesign of its Budweiser and Bud Light aluminum bottles.” This will involve producing bottles “with a camouflage print and images of the ‘Folds of Honor’ program, which provides educational scholarships for children and spouses of fallen and disabled American military service members and first responders.”

    'This is designed to demonstrate that Bud Light is not the Drag Queen of Beers and that the brand is just as supportive of patriots as it is of deluded men pretending to be women such as Dylan Mulvaney. But as the Anheuser-Busch executives came up on this, they must have had an uneasy feeling: it’s unlikely to work.'

    THE REASSERTION OF REASON:

    'Not only are customers fleeing the brand, but it has become the veritable poster child of the adage “Go woke, go broke,” and walking around with a Bud Light has become a public endorsement of the transgender madness and the Left’s relentless efforts to force us all to accept their fantasies and delusions.'

    Now down $18B. You may not want to become and investor.

    EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY: Bud Light to buy back unsold beer following Dylan Mulvaney crisis.

    'Nationwide retail sales of Bud Light sales dropped 23.6% versus a year ago during the week of May 6 — which was slightly down from the 23.3% decline for the week that ended April 29, according to data from Bump Williams Consulting and NielsenIQ data.'

    'Sales of other Anheuser-Busch brands also continued to drop.'

    'Those included Budweiser, down 9.7% versus an 11.4% drop a week earlier; Michelob Ultra, down 2.9% versus 4.3%; and Natural Light, down 2.5% versus 5.2% the previous week.'

    Actually, they are still crashing, seems like a story.

    Beer industry "in shock" from Bud Light boycott

    'The beer industry is peeing in their pants like a drunk who waited too long to go to the men’s room.'

    “This particular promotion just really struck a chord. It was just a bridge too far, apparently, for consumers… we’re in week six and it doesn’t look like it’s getting any better,” he continued. “In fact, the numbers just keep getting a little worse every week… down in the 25% area. And their competitors are up almost just as much, and that’s continuing through today.”

    'Do they keep promoting the Human Rights Campaign pro-trans agenda, meeting their ESG goals, or do they cater to their customers once again and risk the wrath of the WEF and the alphabet crowd?'

    'That shouldn’t be a tough choice if they focus on their business interests, but jeopardizing their relationship with the Elite is a frightening prospect. Right now the people in the government have sided with the ESG crowd, and a lot of states actually have ESG goals in their state investment funds, and various subsidies and incentives may be at stake.'

    'Corporate America assumed that average people would remain supine in the face of multiple insults and outrages. There is indeed a limit to the number of crap sandwiches we will eat.'

    'Target is feeling the wrath as well, and they don’t like it at all. Not that they have understood the message. In an email to their employees they lamented the backlash against the company for their efforts to trans the kids, but then reminded them that Thursday was George Floyd day.'

    'BREAKING: Target is holding an "emergency" meeting over its woke LGBTQ merchandise and tuck friendly bathing suits in the kids section, trying to avoid a "Bud Light Situation"'

    And now Target is bashing their customers, so, stop shopping there.

    'Executives don’t get bonuses for crashing sales and stock prices, and the value of those options they hold are dependent upon stock prices. They feel the pain when the customers walk away.'

    'These companies richly deserve their comeuppance.'

    'Every other corporation is fearing that they are next, and by maximizing the pain that Target and Bud Light feel (and soon The North Face) we can remind other companies that they could be next.'

    'Ordinary Americans outnumber the alphabet mob. If these companies have to choose between them and us, I have a decent idea of whose side they will eventually choose. You have power. Use it.'
