What has Biden done to protect abortion rights?

Also, the average American does not consider Arabs human.

With the margins we're talking about, enough do to matter. Also there are more eligible Arab American voters in Michigan than Biden's 2020 margin. They turned out for Biden in 2020, they likely won't now, they even loudly said so in the primary. I did the math for the other swing states a while ago, and the number of Arab Americans in each state is enough to make a big dent in his margins, with non-Arab Palestine supporters and otherwise disappointed voters most likely making up the rest.

lmao betting markets.

Biden is going to lose, it’s that simple. The genocide alone is enough to make him lose Michigan, Georgia was a razor thin margin that won’t happen again, and Trump leads in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Arizona.

The first two plus any one of the last three is enough for Trump to win.

He’s done next to nothing to actually help people while instead sending hundreds of billions to Ukraine and Israel. We are closer to WW3 now than at any other point this century, and he bears much of the blame.

They’re arguably the reason he decided to run for President.

tbf it’s a sequel to a pretty different interpretation of Joker that just kind of stands on its own.

But I absolutely want to see a Harlivy movie. Birds of Prey was pretty decent and could easily be followed up with Harlivy.

said tomboy chaser

How does being attracted to tomboys automatically make someone a “chaser”? Who is allowed to be attracted to them without being a “chaser”?

Obviously there’s no difference between euthanizing an elderly horse and shotgunning a puppy in a ditch. Both tough decisions of course.

It’s definitely sad that the puppy killed some chickens (although I have a feeling she didn’t actually care all that much besides lost revenue), but that absolutely does not mean she deserves death. She’s a puppy, she doesn’t know yet that she needs to be gentle with certain animals. It’s Noem’s responsibility as owner to keep Cricket away from those animals until she can teach her how to behave with them.

a male goat that was "disgusting, musky, rancid", "nasty and mean", who "loved to chase" Noem's children and knock them down

wtf was she expecting from a goat? He probably didn’t even hurt the children (she would have said if he did). He legitimately might have just been playing with them.

Also it sounds like she just got a rush out of murdering the puppy and wanted to murder something else.

“Male” and “female” aren’t single points at the extreme ends, they’re spectrums themselves. Most straight (and exclusively gay) people’s attraction lies well within one of those, usually not even the entirety of them.

Like think about a straight guy attracted to the most stereotypically feminine women vs a straight guy attracted to tomboys. They’re both just straight. Or a straight woman attracted to buff manly guys vs a straight woman attracted to soft nerdy guys. Still both just straight. (Obviously I’m going on stereotypes here, but those kind of people absolutely exist.)

I just learned that Kristi Noem is (or maybe was) a contender for Trump’s VP.

She might have fucked herself out of being VP by admitting, completely unprompted, that she murdered a puppy.

“I want to be VP because I have what it takes to make the hard decisions, like murdering a puppy.”

(I’m mainly thinking about posting one’s self online, since that’s the only sex work I’ve interacted with. But these can probably apply to prostitution too, maybe to a lesser extent.)

One thing to consider that that some people like doing it. I know I’d love to post stuff if I was a cute femboy. They can both express themselves and receive admiration for it. And if they can also make money from it, cool. There’s a blurry line between sex work and sexual liberation when the sex worker enjoys what they do. But by strict definitions, it’s both.

doing it sells so much dignity

For many maybe, but for others that’s not a problem. The idea of sexual privacy and/or selectiveness being part of one’s “dignity” is entirely cultural. For anyone who doesn’t tie such things to their dignity, sex work could just be a job like any other.

I believe that sex work is inherently misogynistic

While sex workers are probably a vast majority female, and they likely feel negative effects (abuse, exploitation, sex trafficking, etc, when they’re present) to a greater extent, all of your reasoning can easily apply to male sex workers too. There’s nothing inherently misogynistic about sex work, but misogynistic society can make everything misogynistic.
