Inflation has increased 17.9 percent since President Biden took office. Real wages have decreased 4.5 percent since President Biden took office. The average mortgage payment is 15 percent higher than one year ago...BEFORE the rate increase today. Interest rates in the last year have increased more than in the previous 15 years combined.

Yes...hang your hat on the economy. Please. Do. It.

It works for Progs if reality isn’t real.

Conversion therapy is not "counselling homosexuals who may be seeking a way out"

I just read that too Liney, don't quite understand it, but I wouldn't debate CGVT. I'm sure he's an expert on it.

Pray the Ghey away will be illegal in Michigan. The same as it is in 22 other states in the union and should be in all of the rest.

The longer that woman and her pals are in charge around here, the more I agree with CGVT's tagline.

"I feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it on"

Slowly but surely, we're losing our freedoms.

What Is Conversion Therapy?

• What Does Conversion Therapy Look Like?
• What Harm Can Conversion Therapy Cause?
• Which Places Have Banned Conversion Therapy?

Conversion therapy is any emotional or physical therapy used to “cure” or “repair” a person’s attraction to the same sex, or their gender identity and expression. Providers claim these therapies can make someone heterosexual or “straight.” But there’s no evidence to support this.

Medical and mental health experts have rejected conversion therapy practices as dangerous and discriminatory for decades. It not only doesn’t work, but could also lead to:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Drug use
• Homelessness
• Suicide

In extreme cases, the practices may be violent or torturous. Conversion therapy is sometimes called “reparative therapy” or “ex-gay therapy.”

Nobody here cares that you are gay CGVT...just like we don't care that DSL is a cross dresser...

Consumer confidence hits highest level since July 2021. Voters are increasingly pleased with the economy.

Don't tell that to the wildly out of touch conservatives of this forum though. Shocking that consuming nothing but conservative media could warp your sense of reality. It’s the Great Depression out there folks, don’t let actual data fool you.

If high 30s is a good number for The Chairman on the economy then DSL is right.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Hunter Biden is extremely important to swing voters and Independents.

Just kidding, they don’t give a shit. They want to hear about policy. And Republicans (most of them) are too fucking stupid to give them that.

[Dr. Strangelove]

If high 30s is a good number for The Chairman on the economy then DSL is right.

I think the Chairman’s senility is more of a drag on his numbers than the economy at this point.

Again consumer confidence keeps going up. Your fellow cons here keep insisting we’re in a depression, things have never been worse. Guess who I think is more in touch with reality and who is just wishcasting?

[CGVT]

BTW, I think Mitch McConnell is a piece of shit and has done unspeakable harm to this country but I hope he is ok.

Time to retire Mitch, and take Feinstein with you.

[Dr. Strangelove]

I think Mitch definitely won’t finish his term.

Feel pretty good about Andy Beshear’s re-election chances but the legislature neutered any ability for him to really choose a replacement.

-Gay Conversion Therapy is idiotic, ridiculous, and complete horseshit, but I’m not sure idiotic and ridiculous horseshit should be illegal. But whatever.

-The economy tanked so much under Biden, it’s good to see it rebound some even if the improvement is wildly unimpressive considering where it was when he took office, but I’ll take whatever goodish news I can get. Hopefully Biden’s handlers rewarded him with an extra helping of puréed carrots and let him watch Paw Patrol before bedtime.

-Biden’s handlers have spent the last month denying that there even is a border, let alone a massive border crisis - and until we shore that up and stop sending money as fast as we can print it (sorry, Jeff) to Ukraine we’re only gonna have peaks and valleys (and the longer we wait, the more valleys we’ll have).

You are all picayunes. Insufferable windbag picayunes.
