You don’t understand how poor you are in relation to the rich. There is a reason you only see the rich BUYING surrogates and not BECOMING surrogates. Because they are rich. And they are buying the poor mothers.

This may be controversial but neglectful parenting and raping a baby to death aren’t remotely comparable forms of abuse.

I’m going to say something controversial. May get hate for this. The pendulum has swung too far in the other direction regarding marijuana. Cannabis use disorder is real and many people are addicted, including kids. But anytime I bring that up “oh it’s just weed it’s harmless.”

If women aren’t allowed to want men for their money, their security, their looks, their height, their protection or their provision then that only leaves their personality and for a lot of men it would be easier to just make more money and go to the gym.

If someone works full-time and receives SNAP, that means your taxpayer dollars are subsidizing the company's profits bc it refuses to pay them a livable wage. This can only be said so many ways; it isn’t difficult to grasp.

The most grotesque and hypocritical thing about this is the case is being brought by Kim Davis, who herself has been divorced three times. So I don't want to hear anything about the sanctity of straight marriage.

Anyone who engages in broad comparisons like this fundamentally misunderstands the nature of intelligence and is likely less intelligent than the average graduate of either major
there are ppl that believes history majors are more intelligent than engineers.

I genuinely never wanna hear "False accusations ruin men's lives" ever again when true allegations can't even do so much as to hold men accountable
Neil Gaiman’s sexual assault case is dismissed D4vd is still not a suspect to the police Diddy only gets 4 years in prison What the actual fuck is going on man

Last thing I'll say before I move on for the sake of my sanity. If you don't think people accused of sex crimes should have competent legal defense, I better not ever, EVER, see you post anything about hating ICE

A hearty Fuck You to @TheBabylonBee for posting on your website a picture of my kids that was stolen from a private Facebook page. You will have so much more to answer for before God than I will.

Selling my family heirlooms to pay for my crack habit
Suppose that you personally owe others $37 trillion. Suppose you own millions of acres of land you’re not using, have never used and never plan to use. Now assume others offer to buy your land. Can you think of one reason you would not sell it? Asking for a friend.

If you believe they’re going to build affordable housing in the rural Rockies… I have an iceberg in Arizona to sell you, or a Nigerian Prince who wants to meet you.

Also—these very same people can’t afford Disneyland, they can’t afford the nearest theme park, but by the grace of God and Theodore Roosevelt they can afford to take their kids camping and fishing. Public lands allow poor children to experience vacation and as such are priceless.

When I was a kid I did a lot of camping with my Boy Scout troop. One of my favorite places was located on Forest Service land, a short drive from town. We camped there every year and usually practiced land navigation through the forest. Until we showed up one year to find the area closed off. No trespassing signs. The road gated. Hundreds of acres had been sold to a corporation that then logged the entire thing and just left it dead, and it has sat that way for decades. All gated off. All inaccessible. No housing, no development. Just dead unusable acres. Don't sell the land. @realDonaldTrump @SenMikeLee @BasedMikeLee
“We have so much land. We want to put it to use. We’re going to have land release, and on that land we’re going to build housing.” -@POTUS
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This video is from August 2024. President Trump spoke about development of land in southern Nevada, and his comments were not regarding Senator Lee's current proposal. ktnv.com/news/channel-1…
