President Donald Trump - J.D. Vance Administration

[RockyTop85]

Mine are not emotional appeals, but logical and based in individual rights. That extends to firearm rights. I don't think the state or Fed have the constitutional power to deprive the first or unduly encumber the second.

I didn't say or imply anything remotely similar to 'locking up the kids', that was you. The dog-beater is the state in this case. I can attempt to intervene in the abuse I see occurring. If the dog is saved and the guy takes it out on the kids, he (the state) is making the choice to remain abusive; then he should be locked up, not the kids.

Whether one likes it or not, federal funding is strings-attached regardless of state law. I think Federal court is the proper place to sort it. In the meantime, I'm glad that it is being publicized as the wrong it is, win or lose in court. And since these things slide under the radar often, perhaps Maine residents need that awareness, and petition their legislature.

If Maine had a state law against hunting children that the Fed wanted to strike because Fed $ were allocated, I'd side with Maine in federal court.

Lol. ‘Women getting abused’ is logical? In track meets? Swim meets? Trans runners clubbing the other girls like baby seals before the race? That is about as emotional as I would expect from the party of aspiring Democrats. 0-1.

Your plan is to punish all the kids to keep them safe from abuse. The analogy fits. It’s discrediting that you don’t see it. 0-2.

“iM nOt mAKiNG eMoTioNal ApPeaLs…” compares it to hunting children. 0-3.

Will put a pin in the federal funding/strings attached argument until you at least read the very first factor articulated in SD v. Dole. But you’re headed for 0-4 on that one.

If there were an actual individual right at stake, you’d have legitimate options that don’t punish every kid in the state. As it is, you have the option of convincing the court that it falls under an actual right. Or, if you think women’s sports should be an individual right, you have the option of a constitutional amendment. And you have less cumbersome legitimate legislative options for revising Title IX or expressly tying strings to the funding (but perhaps a less compelling government interest in the latter while trying to disband the department of education because of states rights).

At present, it’s not an individual right any more than abortion is. That’s just more aspiring Democrat rhetoric. It’s purely a prudential determination. And you apparently think you and yours should be able to make those determinations and the people of Maine and their self-determinative government be damned if they don’t do what you think is best. In that situation, you’re seemingly fine with the executive blowing past the more targeted responses and ignoring the restrictions and directives put in place by the other two branches of the federal government and lawlessly punishing the entire state for it.

But as long as you claim it’s for iNdIvIDuAl RIgHts I guess your conservative bonafides remain unsullied.

And she had no business being on that team at that point in her career....

Can you explain how this is relevant? I’m not seeing it.

You brought her up, not me...

People were upset she was put on the team for politics and not playing ability.

I assume you didn’t read the rest of the conversation?

Not trying to be a dick, I do that too, it’s just kind of a non-sequitur.

People gloated because everyone knew they put identity politics over winning....

It was a giant ITYS for those

Great week….Trump keeps on winning, Basketball won today, and now on to game 2 of baseball.

 

[Buddy’s Bandit]

YES YES YES !!!!!

 

[Buddy’s Bandit]

If Suge Knight was quoted in a tweet, then surely it must be true.

Report conning out soon….and what will you say if this is true?

 

[RockyTop85]

Long way of saying “no.”

The conversation involved several people saying it’s never okay to cheer against Team USA.

Her last World Cup was an example of it happening on this forum. I’m sure you’re partially right about why. Less right as it pertains to this forum full of people who hate anybody who talks **** about Trump.

 

[CagleMtnVol]

The fake outrage we have seen the last several weeks from the dimocrats& the left in Washington and on this board is comical to me!

President Trump campaigned on everything he was going to do if he got back in office and that includes Elon Musk and DOGE! On November 5th he won overwhelmingly taking the Popular vote as well. He won all the "blue wall" states and every supposed "tossup" state. His approval rating is as high as any President in recent times and polls say the majority of the people agree with DOGE and what they are doing.

We are 4 weeks into what's going to be a long 4 years fir you. I think it's time for dimocrats to sit down and shut up!

We had 4 years of chaos from a vegetable and an idiot as VP. We don't really know who was running the country as millions of illegal thugs entered the country and telling America's enemies "Don't" without any threat of consequences behind the words.

Since Trump took office he has been going at a lightspeed pace to try and return some form of sanity to our country.

Huge difference between rooting against USA because of who our POTUS is and rooting against country because we put less talented players on a national team for political reasons....

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Wait, did we lose our baseball coach??

Tony LaRussa has been seen at the Knoxville airport.

Soon

 

[RockyTop85]

Huge difference betwern rooting against US because of who our POTUS is and rooting against country because we put less talented players on a national team for political reasons....

I think it’s been hashed and rehashed about 5 times that nobody said they cheered for Canada because of Trump.

I’m sure you’re partially right about why. Less right as it pertains to this forum full of people who hate anybody who talks **** about Trump.

Also a huge difference between “it’s never okay” and “yeah it’s okay sometimes.”

I root against team USA basketball because I think pros have no business in the Olympics.

Fire away

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Really?

I'm here to help.

Scenario 1: US basketball team is made up of NBA players who have been constant and vocal critics of trump. Their practice shirts say "Impeach Trump" and they refuse to stand for the anthem as long as trump is president.

They are playing a team from Laos that has never won an international game and has a starting center who is 5'11".

First off, **** the NBA in general, and it is for what I presume is your second scenario that I root against them.

Im ok with our best vs their best....

Its how it should be.

Amything that deviates from our best is un-American..

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

The very foundation of MAGA is race.

Wow. As a MAGA supporter, I never knew that. Thank you so very much for setting the record straight

 

[Majors]

There you go. That's the spirit!

trumpism at its finest.......maga

Way to represent.

Honestly, you're forcing me to conclude that you are actually incapable of having a legitimate conversation.

cosmos at work with your zig zagging of post.

 

[DinkinFlicka]

Report conning out soon….and what will you say if this is true?

"Oh no!"

 

[RockyTop85]

Most of the women's soccer team area anti-American dog**** just like you and Luther. You guys are easy to root against.

@BigOrangeMojo

I’m sure what he and all the people who gave him likes meant to say was “I follow the sport closely and Rapinoe was well past her prime. She took a roster spot and playing time away from more deserving players.”

 

[RockyTop85]

Oh goodness now you’ve done it.

Yep. I’ll probably still be raging about that one 5 years later.

She wasn't the only pos on the team.
