    This is wrong but does violent rhetoric from the Left exist:

    I don't make use of religion myself. I understand how and why it exists. I do support it however. It does far more good than harm. Those who attack religion are basically haters for some reason. They say religion is attacking them but that isn't true. Sticks and stones, remember?

    It has been banished from politics in general. One group engages in bad manners and then gets bad manners in return. Just common human weakness on both sides.

    Completely disagree. Religion has done far more harm than good.

    Just from the standpoint of religion requiring people to throw away the main thing that separates us from animals, reason...is enough to say that it has done more harm than good.

    Flailing the victim card and mewling one is "persecuted" whenever substantive evidence and sworn testimony (mostly by Republicans) compels grand juries to recommend indictments is pathetic. If the perp can contrive valid defenses, the proper venue for doing so is in court where a jury of one's peers assesses credibility.

    The President did not "convert Easter into a celebrate trans day" as you falsely state. Lying about Easter to further a partisan agenda is shameful


    TDoV was created in 2009 to "celebrate the lives and contributions of trans people, while also drawing attention to the poverty, discrimination, and violence the community faces," according to LGBTQ+ media advocacy group, GLAAD.

    It was first celebrated on March 31, which has remained the date of commemoration for the past 15 years.

    https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-did-joe-biden-create-transgender-day-visibility-easter-1885518

    The President issued an Easter (that fell on March 31 in 2024) message to Christians, regardless of their sexual identity or orientation:

    Jill and I send our warmest wishes to Christians around the world celebrating Easter Sunday. Easter reminds us of the power of hope and the promise of Christ’s Resurrection.
    As we gather with loved ones, we remember Jesus’ sacrifice. We pray for one another and cherish the blessing of the dawn of new possibilities. And with wars and conflict taking a toll on innocent lives around the world, we renew our commitment to work for peace, security, and dignity for all people.

    From our family to yours, happy Easter and may God bless you.

    99% of all persecutions have substantive "evidence" and witnesses.

    Even if that were true, we shall not abandon America's system of justice under which evidence and testimony is presented to a jury of a defendant's peers, as well as attempts by the defense to discredit it, and that jury of one's peers deliberates and agrees on a verdict.

    One is currently underway in Manhattan.

    ("Peers", under America's legal system, are not limited to defeated presidents in denial, if that is what you wish for.)

    You are aware that the day of visibility has been on the same day for a very long time right? And this year it just happened to co-incide.


    What is your problem with recognizing ALL Americans?

    This is a multi cultural democracy. Not a christian theocracy.

    The DP has always embraced hateful speech and violence so long as it is only directed against their opposition.

    “In a conversation with another individual on Discord, Roske claimed that he was going to prevent the Supreme Court from overturning Roe v. Wade. When asked what he was going to do, Roske said he planned to "remove some people" from the court.
    "I could get at least one, which would change the votes for decades to come, and I am shooting for 3," he added, per the affidavit.
    More details:
    Prior to the attempted attack, Roske had also sought advice online.”

    Can you point me to the "Straight/hetero pride march?" Which street has painted the straight flag on it? (whatever the hell that is for all the visibility it gets...)
