    I question that. The Democrats I know are ready to believe absolutely anything negative about Trump.

    Some horses ass claims that Trump stole $400 million from the government and it is repeated without question aster Trump just flew to UAE and got them to agree to stop fending terrorists. He is on the verge of a historic agreement of Syria tob recognize
    the nation of Israel. He has suggested that the US move into the west bank and rebuilding the wreckage caused by the PLO. This would deny the PLO aq home base, protect Palastinians from the PLO and Israel.

    This would return peace to the middle east.

    Why do you suppose they would rather lie about him than recognize his accomplishments?

    I am well aware of that but the Babylon Bee has had to greatly increase the satire to the point that it cannot be used because the Democrats were taking the satiris articles as fact.

    And you have the right to your opinion. What do you want to bet that next election J.D. Vance doesn't win in a landslide?


    You're welcome to your opinion but between now and November
    2028 are a long series of issues, events, conflicts, memes,
    crises, data, theory and personalities. You have no idea who
    his opponent might be or why. You don't even know if Mr
    Vance will run.

    3-1/2 years is an eternity in politics, and any betting at
    this point is emotional not an analysis of odds.

    We have laws about public pornogrqaphy. We don't need a change of the Constitution. We simply need to redefine what PUBLIC is and certainly the internet is public. Disney is advertising a new movie "The Need for Sex" and they are advertising it on a
    children's channel. Are you giggling and getting on with it as your 5 year old sees that? Some of the advertisements are very graphic.

    If he is indeed a doctor, and at times I have strong doubts, it would be professionally correct hiding from his patients his comments which often reach the level of gratuitousness. I suppose that doctors are just humans too but when you've been sticking
    your finger up someone's asshole in search of a cancerous lesion. It seems hard for me to "giggle and get on with it". I worked on instruments to identify or treat some very serious diseases and giggling wasn't a part of it.

    Nice abrupt change of topic.

    Are you adverse to admitting that you didn't bother reading the
    Disney+ story before you posted your wrong information? Or, does
    watching Disney+ somehow offend your fragile sensibilities?

    What does your question have to do with your incorrect accusation that
    Disney is advertising pornography to minors? You owe Disney and
    everyone in rec.bicycles.tech an apology for starting a rumor.

    For your information, I have a Roku Ultra 5850X screaming media
    player.
    <https://www.roku.com/products/players/roku-ultra>
    I recently subscribed to Disney+ (without ads) for 1 month and
    cancelled. That cost me about $20. Disney doesn't currently offer a
    free trial. The Roku Channel is a better deal. <https://therokuchannel.roku.com>
    Free and minimal advertising. I've been watching various free British detective/crime/mystery channels.

    Frank has a real problem dealing with the fact that engineers, engineer, and teachers, teach, and that never the twain shall meet. so he compensates by showing contempt for those who successfully engineered products. I guess he actually thinks that if he
    weren't involved in far more important work, he could have produced those products in a wink. Actually it is sad that he never learned his place in the world.
