    The 1890s, you say? I guess the practice stopped in the 130 years since then, and Biden only just now resurrected it.

    Insufferable.

    See? Just performative nonsense. You can't tell me your justification is a quote from more than a century ago.

    I'm not going to entertain your bad-faith questions. No child's rights were infringed. Her mother was giving consent on her child's behalf. Hygiene's not a consideration and you had to dig back to the 19th century in a desperate attempt to find SOMETHING to support your bullshit take.

    Bringing up the year that Elizabeth Stanton said this, as reason for why it should be ignored, is what you call, “performative”. You’re ignoring what she’s saying, and her history, so you can redirect away from the bad behavior.
    No "redirection". It isn't "bad behaviour", you're just engaging in wildly partisan slander over nothing because you have a personal political agenda to push, and that's it. There's nothing else to your position.

    Literally collapsing down into "but think of the children" hand-wringing malarkey that's so fuckin' corny the Simpsons were making fun of it more than 25years ago.

    "Strain a mussel" was right there, dude.

    On topic: RKF Jr claims Biden is preparing for a ground war with Russia.

    "Biden's going to invade Russia with three thousand...reserviists?"

    Of course not. That's just stupid. But things are going pretty well, FOX News and such are desperate. Hence "old man kisses baby" is turned into faux outrage and "operation existing since 2014" is somehow proof of WW3.

    It must be just the worst to intentionally back people who have no plan and only deplorable values, and to attack people actually making the world a better place, and it must be even the worster to have nothing to attack them with.

    And their main go-to guy to support is a crazed loon that has landed them in hundreds of millions of dollars of legal troubles, yet they can't wholly break from him because if they do they risk alienating a substantial part of their viewership. And the next best guy to support is currently fighting a losing battle against mickey mouse, all while catching flak from the first guy.

    I do. I don't know why you think she's relevant. To you, she's just a useful tool in your performative hand-wringing. You don't actually care about this, you're just absolutely desperate to find anything you can misrepresent to make Biden look bad.

    You must lose your everlovin' mind when you see grandparents meet their grandkids as toddlers for the first time. Because it looks pretty much exactly like that.

    The only people who give a fuck about Biden doing what most old people do and certainly most old politicians when it comes to tiny children presented to them by their parents are people who were already pushing the whole "omg child-sniffing Biden!" bullshit to begin with. Everyone with an ounce of sense just shrugged their shoulders and moved on because there's literally nothing there. This is just Winter Soldier just following orders from the GOP talking heads again.

    She’s well-known, especially with women.
    And? That doesn't mean she was correct about everything she ever said. You're back to an appeal to authority to try and defend your meritless hand-wringing.

    Stanton would also have been horrified by things like two-piece bathing suits for women. Doesn't mean she's right about it. Your hero-worshipin no way supports you here.

    I feel exactly as she did on the subject and she was an amazing woman.
    What she isn't is a weapon, no matter how you try to beat us over the head with her.

    Can you link to you attacking Trump for 2 pages? Cause I'm willing to bet at best it's 1 post and you dropped it.

    It's Europe, then it's New England, then it's Kentucky, then it's Minnesota. Fuck, for a human who doesn't understand fuckall about reality, you've supposedly been damn near all over the place.

    Of course I'm sure all those "places" if they're even true, are all nicely isolated in little army bubbles with a bunch of like-minded dipshits.

It’s not because it’s fun. God knows it’s not because it’s easy. It’s not even because it works because it hardly ever does.. I DO WHAT I DO BECAUSE IT’S RIGHT! Because it’s decent! And above all, it’s kind! It’s just that.. Just kind."

    Let's not lump in other military families with whatever the fuck the Shrew is. My sister's husband is in the military and so they've had to travel all over the place as well. The difference is they're both great parents raising two awesome kids (who both never had any complaints or negative side effects about wearing masks or remaining isolated because it was clearly explained to them why it was important). I related some of what Winter Soldier here keeps going on about back to my sis and she basically responded "sounds like a sheltered, ignorant cunt" so I defer to the expert here.

    Did you say anything when Trump did this?

    Or how bout when he raped Katie Johnson? When she was 13 and was provided to him by Epstein? She tried to sue him, the first time it was dropped for a technicality, the 2nd time it was because she was threatened by MAGA terrorists. Or, how about Trump being friends with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell for over 20 years?

    Considering what he said about Covid not attacking Chinese people and Ashkenazi Jews, yes, he literally said that. He really is that stupid. Which is why all of his supporters are basically Republicans. I don't know a single Democrat supporting him.

    It's like with the "Drag queens/gays are groomers!" shit; if you see that and immediately think something untoward or sexual is going on, you're expressing your own personal issues, not describing the scene in front of you.
