I did, and I think you’re wrong.
Pointing out hypocrisy is always right.
I didn’t put up a picture of Trump and Putin kissing, I put out a list of people who’d throw other gay people under the bus.

Yes, Obama could have just snapped his fingers and ended america’s involvement in the Middle East. There’s no way he’d have been impeached or voted out.
14·3 days agoIt was ubiquitous post-WW2. Robert Heinlein used ‘Kilroy Was Here’ as the name of the first space ship to reach Mars, and Isaac Asimov did a short story where it was a message from a time traveler who’d been told to make sure he didn’t do anything to change the timeline.
It’s not homophobia to call out hypocrisy.
There have been plenty of cases where pols voted for anti-LGBTQ+ laws, and then been abrubtly outed.
In June 2007, Larry Craig, a Republican U.S. Senator from Idaho, was arrested at the Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport on suspicion of lewd conduct during an undercover police sting in a men’s restroom
.According to the officer’s report, Craig entered a stall adjacent to the undercover officer, tapped his foot several times, moved it so it touched the officer’s foot, and waved his hand under the stall divider — actions the officer interpreted as a coded invitation for sexual activity
Larry gained fame when he blamed the incident on his ‘wide stance.’
From Wikipedia.
Most places want three months rent up front before you can move in.
$1,500.00 is a bit below average for a studio/one bedroom in the USA today.
Or a student could buy a beater car/motorcycle to let them commute.
Or a mobility scooter for a homebound person.

I suggest this book to anyone who is laid off or going through any kind of job change.
“Discover What You Are Best At”
It gives you some self tests to find out what your skill set is, and then shows you jobs that use those skills. Nurses and hair stylists both need to have good people skills and be dexterous. Totally different jobs with a similar skill set.
If nothing else, it’ll give you some ideas about what to look for in your next job.
And start the unemployment process right away!
One thing I’ve noticed is that movies and TV shows don’t use exact amounts of money anymore.
‘The Rockford Files’ always talked about Jim’s $200.00 a day fee, and characters would say things like ‘Hey, this is a fifty dollar jacket’ or ‘That house must have cost $100,000.’
The $5.00 milkshake was a big plot point in ‘Pulp Fiction.’
Prices are going up so fast that what was unreasonably expensive when the script was written will be the norm by the time the show gets aired.
Thanks. Sill me, I should have added the link myself.

The Curtis Mayfield album for the movie ‘Super Fly’ made more money than the actual movie.

In the science fiction novel ‘Double Star’ the author, Robert Heinlein, casually throws out a genius political system.
Voters get to pick their own constituencies. Instead of voting based on where you live, you can choose your own ‘borough.’ You can pick ‘Farmer’ or ‘Gun Owner’ or ‘Soccer Mom’ or '‘Artist’ or ‘LGBTQ+’ or ‘Renter.’
18 minimum.
I am sure that we’re not getting all the story.
Obviously I meant handing it to Fauci before it got too bad.
I remember seeing Fauci rolling his eyes while Trump spoke; that was what doomed any chance of sanity prevailing.
Your clip is from August 2021.
Yup.
Never has any man been given so much, and managed to piss it all away.
Indeed.
I was on a different site, and pointed out that 18 US servicemembers had died so far in the War of Epstein’s Files.
Someone retorted that more americans died in the Afghanistan pullout.
All Trump had to do in Covid was make one speech. “I am not a scientist or a doctor. I am a smart businessman who has hire the best people to cope with this situation. Just do what my friend Dr Fauci says and we’ll be fine.” He’d have been reelected by a landslide.
The sad fact is that there’s nothing you can show them that will change their minds.
Donald Trump had 25 years to tell his story about being rescued by firemen. Suddenly he remembers it and none of his people call him on it.
