    We've had other threads about so called 'groomers'. I guess from this piece they don't exist. But wasn't Phyllis Schlafly laughed at and made fun of for suggesting we were moving in the direction of 'unisex toilets':

    QAnon is alive and well, it seems. This poor old country mouse continues to be amused by what nonsense some are willing to believe as long as it fits with their fears and prejudices.

    Regards, stay safe 'n well.

    'The Leader of the JFK-QAnon Cult Is Dead. His Followers Think It's All Part of the Plan.'

    'Members of Michael Protzman’s conspiracy cult abandoned their families and spent their life savings to follow him to Trump rallies around the country.

    July 6, 2023, 9:21am


    'The leader of a QAnon cult who convinced thousands of people that former president John F. Kennedy and his son JFK, Jr. are still alive has died, VICE News can exclusively report.

    Michael Protzman, 60, died last Friday in the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota a week after an accident at the Meadow Valley Motocross track in Millville, Minnesota. Protzman’s death was confirmed to VICE News in a phone call with the Minnesota Department of Health.

    Protzman died as a result of “multiple blunt force injuries” after he “lost control of his dirt bike” according to a report from the Southern Minnesota Regional Medical Examiner’s Office, which was obtained by VICE News'.

    As the poor old country mouse as you so frequently like to call yourself, why do you suppose that you only see leftists start threads about QANON and David Duke on here?

    If one didnt know better and just listened to the left on the subject, it would be easy to think that these are popular movements on the right, but I literally do not recall even one person on this board ever being their supporter. Maybe it exists somewhere, but I have yet to see it.

    Groomers exist despite persons on the left wanting to ignore it. Why do you think Disney now finds it necessary to include lesbian characters in their animated movies?

    Hi, FAW.

    I'm not privy to the reasons of leftists behind specific types of posts. I can suggest, though, that one possibility might be that they have well-developed senses of humor.

    I'll not ask you the same question because:

    - If you're a leftist, you already know and you wouldn't be asking me, and

    - if you're not a leftist and you've asked me, you don't know either.

    Regards, stay safe 'n well.

    My belief is that the left takes great pains to keep these obscure things alive solely because they want to give the impression that these wackjobs represent far more on the right then is reality.

    I do not believe that humor is their motivating factor in any way. I think it is obvious that their motivation is deception.

    the "conservate" war vs "democrat" pedophiles probably began with the "day care satanists" of the reagan era. (or perhaps with socrates)

    the only way that i can explain the hysteria is that "conservatives" HATE public educationm working mothers, and the teachers (as a unionized work force.)

    Yeah yeah, we have all seen this curated nonsense before where you try to pretend like anyone that questions election integrity is automatically a member of this bizarre group that none of us know anything about. The only people you ever see discussing the concept are leftists. It seems the only people that even know what they supposedly espouse are also leftists.

    You dont think you just proved something do you? You haven't refuted anything I said. If anything, you have perfectly illustrated my point.

    This board is filled with all manner of political junkies. Who on this board is a member of QANON?



    ....and yes, the word is definitely DECEPTION, and the left does everything they can to act as if this bizarre irrelevant whatever is somehow widespread. The notion is patently absurd, but it looks like they at least fooled you.

    You must be terrifyingly sexually insecure to think that someone could talk you out of your sexuality.

    Maybe you should find a friend, so if someone talks you out of your sexuality, your friend can talk you back in.

    Sure thing cupcake. :roflol:

    Trump begins openly embracing and amplifying false fringe QAnon conspiracy theory
    Politics Sep 16, 2022 12:02 PM EDT

    snips"

    'On Tuesday, using his Truth Social platform, the Republican former president reposted an image of himself wearing a Q lapel pin overlaid with the words “The Storm is Coming.” In QAnon lore, the “storm” refers to Trump’s final victory, when supposedly he will regain power and his opponents will be tried, and potentially executed, on live television.'

    'Earlier this month, Trump chose a QAnon song to close out a rally in Pennsylvania. The same song appears in one of his recent campaign videos and is titled “WWG1WGA,” an acronym used as a rallying cry for Q adherents that stands for “Where we go one, we go all.”

    Online, Q adherents basked in Trump’s attention.'

    Ahh the laughing emoji!

    That's how you can tell someone has won a debate (sarcasm)

    Apparently you are right. The Republican congressional caucus is filled with people that think the deep state is running a satanic sex trafficking and cannibal ring. Good thing we have YOU to uncover the truth (sarcasm)

    Yeesh. This is truly stupid.

    I think the far more interesting answer to that question, will come from you. I don't generally watch Disney animated movies-- except Tangled was good-- but I wouldn't think they "find it necessary," to include lesbian characters. Assuming that they do include them, I can find many reasons why this would occur, starting with simply being able to "read the room," as far as society's acceptance of groups that were formerly marginalized, so it would be good PR, if nothing else, to be on the right side of history, rather than be seen as the film company that was out of touch, promoting a vision from out of the middle of the last century. Disney does try to keep the long view, in mind. You know, image is important to Disney (and any media company), right? And that Disney wants to stay "current," right? So there's two reasons. Also, this allows for new wrinkles in their plots, which they must be happy, at this point, to be so easily handed. I could go on, if you like-- but first, how 'bout if you tell me, why you think that Disney now finds lesbian characters "necessary." Are they secretly run by a "grooming" cult? Or are the groomers all in government, with Disney feeling pressured to please them? But are lesbian groomers part of the same cult as heterosexual, pedophile groomers? They would seem to have conflicting objectives.

    David Duke threads tend to show up in relatively small numbers at election time, and QANON threads and comments pop up periodically, always from leftists. There were a whole lot of them relating to 1/6 which were quite prevalent up until the point the Democrats lost the house and had to disband their committee which I guess would date back to January of this year. It was brought up in a comment on this thread which is why I made that statement.

    Even after all of this, as a Republican, I still could not tell you what it is that they supposedly stand for. Something about a satanic cult in the deep state running a sex trafficking ring perhaps? I am not sure. I know they claim there are many Republican Congresspeople that are supposedly adherents. I guess I need to talk to one of the bombastic leftists on here to find out what is going so prevalently in the Republican party (sarcasm). I know they can provide all sorts of links making this claim, and to them, this serves as proof positive.

    The left groom young children to believe that deviant behavior is normal and also groom young children to believe they can identify as any gender they want.

    Nobody can choose their sexuality. And, NOBODY can convince you that you are gay if you are actually hetero. That's unbelievably ridiculous.

    If you are gay, you are gay. If you are hetero, you are hetero. Period. End of story.

    NOBODY is teaching anything contrary to that - EXCEPT THE CRAZY RIGHT WING, which is in deep denial.

    What we CAN do is recognize that humans are not all hetero, that having two mommies or two daddies or one parent or adopted parents, or whatever is just fine.
