The thought occurred to me that it might be a good idea to consider letting Brazil join the G7, or an appendage body of the G7, and thereby allow Brazil to be the only country in both the G7 and BRICS.
This would make them a functional bridge or intermediary between the two economic alliances, and make them an extremely important country, with a lot of economic soft power.
American conservatives are constantly bemoaning the decline of aesthetic standards and calling for a return to tailored suits and classical Roman architecture, but are now forced to defend the Cheesecake Factory. A constant tension between the Brooks Brothers patrician and the Kid Rock populist.

You know Trump obviously was never actually in the Mafia, because the Mafia would have killed him by now. Hands down. No question about it. The vote to wack him would have been unanimous, and have happened long ago, by now. Even the Mafia has higher standards than this.
Just to clarify the absurdity of this: This would be like thinking you’re a “real” gay person who has absolutely zero desire to ever have any actual gay sex. That’s not a thing. If you think that’s a thing, then you fundamentally don’t understand what “gay” actually means.
This seems very simple to me: If you have a very strong desire to transition, then you should, and you are indeed a real trans person. I’ve never heard of a supposedly “real” trans person who didn’t actually want to transition. I don’t think that’s a thing. That’s a contradiction in terms.
Look, trans friends, I support you; but you really do have to vote Democrat, no matter what. Some Dems might not let you play sports, true. Republicans are literally going to murder you. Those might be the only two options you have: Get murdered or don’t play sports.
BTW This is the same answer Gov. Andy Beshear made in the 2023 race when facing these attacks, and he won by 5% in R+30 Kentucky
Its not that complicated, yall

I may enjoy pretending to be a woman, every other Tuesday or so; but I am not a woman, and I very much enjoy being a man. I’m just “girl modding,” as they say, but I’m fundamentally a man.
But, on the other hand; if the idea of actually living permanently as the opposite gender, 24/7, is really deeply appealing to you; well, congratulations, once again, you ARE trans, and you deserve happiness. Go get that HRT.

If you really don’t want to transition, then congratulations: You’re not trans, and you can live your much simpler and less complicated life. But if you really want to transition; that, in and of itself, is the evidence of you being a real trans person, and you should.
Plenty of people, such as myself, enjoy playing around with gender expression, without having any desire to actually transition. Transitioning would actually really upset me. Deeply, deeply upset me.
Vladimir Putin is the one leader who has access to the most money with the least amount of monitoring, regulation, or tracking.
Any time you hear someone ask why Trump praises Putin more than anyone else in the world, refer them to the paragraph above.
You can’t raise your kids in such a way that deeply infantilizes them, and stunts their maturity, and then turn around and be shocked that it takes them until 30, or even older, to start acting like a real adult, if they ever even make it to that stage. That’s entirely your own fault, older parents.
The USA trying to underhandedly dominate Brazil, through religious and cultural destruction, is nauseatingly deplorable and wrong. We can exert influence over the entire Western Hemisphere, in a way that appropriately advances our interests, without doing THAT.

Bernie Sanders: "I know conservative parents want to raise their kids to be honest, not to be bullies, not to lie and cheat all of the time. If we want to raise our kids to be honest, not to be narcissists who think the world revolves around them, then we need to hold Donald Trump accountable."
I keep trying to tell The Onion people that they need to buy out national review and turn into a parody site, but just don't tell Armond White, and keep publishing his reviews.
That's the root of fascism, to be perfectly frank.
If you can look at a person and due to disability, or appearance, or weight, or the thought of them having sex makes you go EWWWWW, you are dancing right up next to "that is an incorrect human".
Have you ever noticed the people most worried about Muslims pushing their ideology on us are the Christians who are pushing their ideology on us? Plus, no Muslims go around knocking on your door proselytizing.
Supporting Israel without calling out people like Itamar Ben Gvir, is not truly supporting Israel at all. Israel does not need that kind of support. Israel needs supporters willing to remind Israel what the “Israeli Dream,” was supposed to be. Same goes for America.

The Air Force is holding a major in SOLITARY for calling for Trump's impeachment. He's been there 24 hrs a day for over TWO MONTHS.
Maj. Jason Watson stood on the Capitol steps in uniform, holding a sign that read "Impeach. Convict. Remove." What happened to freedom of speech?
People do not emphasize enough how American education became so horrible. The ONLY reason anyone started schooling their kids outside of the regular public school system, was because of the end of racial segregation. That was the only reason shady private schools and homeschooling became a thing.
Those are FACTS! Individual people might have had a wide variety of motives for taking their kids out of public school, once the system of private schools and homeschooling was firmly established, and the public school system had been completely gutted of funding and severely damaged…
Tommy Tuberville pledged in 2020 to donate his Senate salary to Alabama veterans & families. An investigation found no evidence he did. The pledge is worth roughly $1 million.
Asked about it, he had staff remove him, then called the media socialists and communists.
