"My worst fears have been realized"-Chris Hayes

Haha.  This dude is scared of Twitter?   Are you kidding me?   Worst fears?

Mr Hayes looks like he's scared of a fart too.   

It's funny watching a bunch of adults act like Elon Musk is killing babies (abortion is cool) with Twitter.   They have lost a propaganda tool.  That's it.  Now they have to listen to other people's opinions.   Why can't people have different opinions than you Chris Hayes?   If you don't like Twitter make your own social media platform.  🙄 

BTW I've never used Twitter.  It seems like something for children and people with vanity issues.  It's not real life.  It's the God damn internet.  Get over yourself Chris Hayes.  

Ask people in Ukraine what their worst fears are?

"The idea we still allow semi-automatic weapons to be purchased is sick. Just sick," Biden said during a press event in Nantucket, Massachusetts, on Thanksgiving Day

lol.  Now it's the semi-automatic weapons' fault?   

They'll never take my long rifle!!!

You know what else is sick, just sick?  Leading an 80 yo senile man around and telling Americans he's the "President".  Who's really pulling the strings?

I’m pretty sure some libs think semi-automatic equals belt fed machine gun. 
 

They should see my uncle operate his bolt action scout rifle. Who needs semi-auto?

Well, you know, they do have the capability of going FULL semi-automatic.

Lol.   I wonder the real reason why businesses keep leaving SF?    Couldn't be because you ran it into the ground with your policies?  No, let's ignore all of the dumb things we've enacted and blame it on the workers "refusing" to return to the office.   Your city was dying well before Covid and the work from home revolution.   How does it feel to run your city into decline?   I hope it turns into Oakland or better yet, Detroit.  You deserve this you smug bastards!!!

I thought they love illegal immigrants.   Why the sudden change of heart?   If I was the Mayor of NYC, I'd welcome them with open arms.  Afterall, how can we call a human illegal?   

CA is the same.   We can't accommodate the illegals but the Dems have historically been pushing for more.  Now it's a problem?  Newsom is crying as well.  Saying we're not prepared.   Lol.   

They need to own this.   It's their mess to clean up.   LET THEM ALL IN.  Humans aren't and can't be illegal.  Lol.  More clown leadership.  

Hey Mr. President, tear down those walls!!!  (Imagine the Reagan speech to Gorbachev when saying this)

I cant have an abortion for convenience so I want to move to another country.  

It's a lot cheaper to wear a condom.  

Why is the USA so infatuated with getting abortions?   Did George Washington fight for abortions?  

If I fry up an endangered sea turtle egg and put it into my breakfast burrito, I'll go to federal prison.  Most of the people fighting to remove defenseless humans from a  woman's body will be the same people lynching me for eating that burrito.   Are they too stupid to see the irony in this?

Leftists: “We should be more like Europe!”

Leftists when they learn about most European country’s abortion laws: “….”

Leftists: “We should be more like Japan, no one is allowed to own guns!”

Leftists when they learn about Japan’s strict immigration laws: “….”

Valid.  Not sure how tasty endangered sea turtle eggs are, not sure we should fry them up.  But the analogy stands.

"Fatphobic".  Lol

Eat yourself into an oppressed group of people.   

Don't get mad at what you see in the mirror and blame others for laughing at you when you order six big macs for yourself.   

[Smokin]

Finally the left is actually correct for once in labeling something as a "phobia".  I actually am scared of fat people.  Scared that they might sit next to me on an airplane and take up half my seat.  Or scared that they will get the window exit row seat and we all burn to death while they try to unhook their seatbelt extender, extract themselves from the seat, only to have them get stuck halfway out the door.

I think obesity is the worst problem facing the citizenry of this country and while a lot of that has to do with personal choice, this country is not set up to make meaningful change to curb it. Subsidies to farmers that are still in effect from the Great Depression to incentivize them to grow crops that exclusively end up making food crazy unhealthy (high fructose corn syrup, soybean oil, etc) will never be repealed thanks to lobbying and big agriculture. 
 

What actually made me officially leave the Republican Party to become a registered independent was the furor surrounding Michele Obama’s “Let’s Move” initiative and wanting to make school lunch healthier. The Republican response to that was purely political and proved nobody wants to actually make a difference. I’ll admit that school lunch and breakfast are just a piece of it, but JFC look at the average group of kids and how many are overweight. It’s terrible.

Facts.  There isn't another issues that will even come close to the money and lives lost due to obesity.   It'll affect everything and everyone.

Nah - not a "phobia". A Phobia is generally an irrational fear. Your fear is completely rational.

Sort of agree -- totally hate it when I see a fat chick who would actually be hot if she weren't fat. Complete shame that a 1 turns into a 0 just because of what she puts into her mouth (sts).

No military groomers in high school!!!

However, let us groom your 7 year old child to become a transgender.  

The difference is nobody is forced into Jr ROTC or ROTC.  As it stands, they want to force you to change your children's sex.

I agree it’s f****d that people are able to push the agenda of allowing kids to choose what sex they want to be and then allowing them to seek those changes without parental consent. 
 

But the data on the MiG is incorrect. The Fox News article you quoted actually referenced an article I saw a few weeks ago (One headline from Dec. 11 portrayed the JROTC as ensnaring teenagers, "Thousands of Teens Are Being Pushed Into Military’s Junior R.O.T.C." ). 
 

In multiple low income areas across the US, school administration officials are in fact forcing kids into JROTC programs without either the kids’ or parents consent. 
(https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/11/us/jrotc-schools-mandatory-automatic-enrollment.html)

Not advocating for the abolishment of JROTC, and half of the crap in the article I think, is overt sensationalizing. Just giving more context.

It was about the online debate and what some folks thought it was doing to the kids

Agreed. Saw a large flight attendant in corporate refresher training get stuck in the hatch, pulled through by two other FAs.

OMG!!! I'm a victim of grooming!  I feel so used. Lured me in and convinced me to throw high explosives all over the planet while drinking heavily and singing rude songs with my fellow Hawg drivers. I'm going to need a whole lot of counseling by a hot blonde, an emotional support puppy, and a case of good Irish whisky to fix this.

Quick question. Why is it that if a dad chooses not to be in a child’s life he is labeled a dead beat dad but when a woman, who’s the only one who can make the choice, chooses to abort a child she’s glorified under her body her choice? She’s so brave for not bringing a child into this world when she wasn’t “ready.”

Can anyone answer that?
