During his commencement address, Butker didn't convey an understanding that :

1) The majority of women who earn college degrees today, aren't just looking for a husband and becoming a housewife while they are in college, as may have been the case 50 years ago. They have ambitions of pursuing a career in a particular field once they have graduated. In the year 2024, it is odd to be talking to female college graduates about the virtues of being a "homemaker." Not that there is anything wrong with being a homemaker, mind you.

AND

2) That for a majority of young women, simply being a "homemaker," will not be a viable financial option for her household.

In my estimation, his perspective is a narrow one, limited to his own life's experience. Now, I have already spent more time on this, than I wanted to. It's really not that important to me.

We disagree. I'm not passing judgment on your differing opinion. This happens sometimes.

Perhaps he is conveying that it is ok that they would choose that route. I am curious why you appear to be more outraged by a positive speech where it was a message of hope Springs eternal versus Joe Biden going to a historically black college and telling them they are outcasts according to society.

It sounded stronger than that to me. Butker wasn't merely saying that becoming a homemaker was okay. He was advocating for it. I'm not outraged by what Butker said, but I do I think it was archaic.

However, you don't have to be "triggered" or "outraged" by something in order to take exception to it or to find it strange.

“The election could change the medium-term fiscal outlook, though potentially less than one might imagine,” Goldman Sachs economists Alec Phillips and Tim Krupa said in a note.

A GOP sweep could lead to an extension of the expiring corporate tax cuts Trump pushed through in 2017 — corporate tax receipts have about doubled since then — while a Democratic win might see tax increases, though “much of this would likely go toward new spending,” the Goldman economists said.

Heaven forbid they pay down the debt. Either side.

If you are echoing the leftist media (news, daytime and night time shows) talking points you are attempting to slide in your outrage but you understand the slippery slope of buffoonery.

You in turn skipped the 2nd part of my question. Good job.

One could certainly argue that, but I am really just saying that Biden is a narcissist, and he will be nearly impossible to get rid of.

The funny thing is it is generally acknowledged they told Joe he was a one term POTUS. He thinks he pulled out victory in 2020 on his own. That is the definition of a narcissist. The guy was a dead man walking in the same scope of his 1988 and 2008 POTUS runs.

Are you arguing the Trump administration did a good job of preventing illegal protests while in office? Did a good job of stopping protests?

Was he remiss? Were there that many under his purview? The Portland Federal buildings come to mind, but I don't know that he could have done much more than he did there.

Oddly similar to win Trumpers try to tell us we are all going to be murdered and raped by illegals
