I’m agree with you here; if companies paid men more for the same job with the same experience and training, the women wouldn’t work there because they would find a company that paid them more (or they would bring it to the attention of management and they would get a raise).
Me, I get paid $15 an hour. If I got a $5 an hour raise, I wouldn’t care if someone made $25 an hour for doing a different job; I’m making $20 an hour.
There is a huge wage gap between the typical American worker and the typical European worker. American workers earn twice as much on average. It’s why people want to move here more than Europe which has easier immigration requirements. The people should be welcomed in without a nanny state government permit and their high salaries should benefit the American economy rather than the social democrat European economy.
American free markets >European social democracy. Freedom lives in America. America is where woke and tyranny goes to die.

The title of your page is:
Why didn’t Trump get tanks sent to Ukraine?
You then talk about the Ukraine war and something involving Jan 6. I would recommend just staying on topic and not supporting multiple current things at once. Focus on one issue at a time unless you’re being bipartisan. You can hate Trump and not want to send tanks to Ukraine (or vice versa). I for example hate Trump; I think he is an authoritarian election denier who I would never want to have power. But I also don’t want the US spending $100 billion of the military budget on a foreign country. The US should be one giant buisiness; not starting wars, welcoming customers from all over the world to make us rich, and not giving them government benefits when they come here.
Here is my approach to the Ukraine war: Ukraine should ABSOLUTELY get protection from Russia. I agree. Now how do we get to that point? My solution is the following:
Ukraine’s GDP is about $200 billion. Russia’s military spending is about $100 billion. Meaning, if Ukraine spent half of its GDP on the military, it CAN defend its self against Russia.
You may think 50% of its GDP is too much, but America spent about 43% of our GDP towards the military when WWII was going on, and that war didn’t even affect us. Ukraine can easily pay 50% towards the military. America then sells them tanks instead of giving them to Ukraine for free.
That would be MY idea; not to give random countries $100 billion worth of supplies.
Thoughts on this idea?

I’ve seen skid rows in Salt Lake City, Memphis, Nashville, Cincinnati, and plenty of other red states and cities.
The cities are blue, the rural states are red.
Poor voters vote for democrats 52 to 42. Rich voters vote Republican 52 to 42 according to Wiki (the only vote I found that said something about it). This isn’t a big correlation between wealth and voting patterns though, but poor republicans almost certainly vote on non economic issues (abortion, CRT, vaccine mandates, 2nd amendment). Many poor voters are poor because they had a kid they couldn’t afford to raise, so they are going to be more pro life than the rich liberal that aborted their unwanted kid (I’m not saying ALL rich people abort, but they are more likely to because unwanted pregnancies make you poor). The poor are more willing to be unvaccinated. Even right wing billionaires like Musk have had 2 boosters. Vaccine mandates have made poor people more republican.
If people voted solely on taxes, republicans would win every national election. The poor would vote democrat, but middle class families (who are more common) don’t want to pay for the welfare of the poor, so they would vote Republican. The middle class also have positive feelings about the 1%. They own stock in companies managed by the 1%. The middle class like good schools, but no politician is advocating banning public school. That’s about the only left wing economic policies the middle class support, and the right doesn’t want to ban public school.

If you don’t like it, don’t watch it. Just like people say bad stuff about the undocumented. I don’t AGREE with it, but you have the right to say it without fear of government prosecution. I instead ADDRESS what they say with facts and logic.
But it is bullying. Calling your local transwoman a man on estrogen hormones isn’t.

That was hate speech (not a term I use lightly, if Biden called transwomen men, I wouldn’t call it hate speech, but this is genuine hate speech). But it still should be legal and if your trans and offended, you don’t have to watch it; but others have the right too.

My opinions changed on abortion. Now I’m pro choice. It’s not because of you, but it’s stuff that I realized (basically what I say afterwards is why I became pro choice).
With a car, you know the risks once you start driving. You could get into a crash and die, or just injured. Of course it's very unlikely that will happen, but when you enter a car, you are consenting to the risks of crashing, whether or not you have the intent to crash. It might not even be your fault, but it can still happen.
If someone commits a car accident (whether sober or not) and someone gets injured from the car crash and they need your kindey to survive, you aren’t legally obligated to give your kidney (and Lila Rose and other prominent pro lifers have never contested this. They have contested suicide, but not organ donation laws). So how would abortion be any different?
That's like saying murderers are being punished to harshly for what they did.
Murderers are extremely rare. In a world where 1/6 people committed murder, you can’t prosecute it harshly without backlash. When murderers make up .3% of the population, prosecution becomes easier.
Getting drunk isn't against the law.......And if your conflating it with abortions', then doing stupid illegal stuff while drunk is against the law. So when the prosecutors ask why they did it, they will have two options:1. They got drunk and did it, (which is against the law)2. They were not drunk when they did it (which is also against the law).
Alcohol consumption kills the fetus. You would have to figure out how to prevent those seeking to abort from getting drunk to kill their unwanted fetus.
I mean, you have literal ticktockers who are saying on camera, that they like killing baby's. We are punishing those people too harshly?
There is a difference between SAYING they love aborting and acting on it. They are probably trolling to get a reaction from pro lifers.
She consented to it. She was willing. Your saying that it's his fault that she's pregnant, even though she let him do it?
It takes 2 people to make a pregnancy. They both consented. Any penalty imposed for abortion should impact both parents of the aborted baby equally. Since you know and respect closeted parents of aborted babies, once they come out of the closet, if enough of them come out of the closet, you may be able to hate one person or 2 people, but hating 1/6 of the country is not going to reduce the abortion rate.

Most muslims were born into the religion
It doesn’t matter; they could convert to Christianity if they want too. The trans women athletes could decide to play with the guys.
So even though it was a failed comparison, I think you forgot the hate to them has gone down, not up.
When trans people and Muslims had high levels of “hate” (I don’t think misgendering is hateful. I think beating up a trans person is hateful, but there is a huge difference between beating someone up and calling Caitlyn Jenner a man that the mainstream media and academia doesn’t think is the case), they still didn’t religiously assimilate or become cis presenting.

Well that’s the most important characteristic that Trumpers are looking for - bigotry
You would have to ask trump supporters you meet personally and not strawmans the media gives of Trump supporters to see why they vote for Trump. Personally, I think Trump supporters love his personality. But can you make one good thing Trump did? If not, you’re an anti Trump hack. I can name one good thing Hitler did while still despising Hitler (he was vegetarian). If you can’t name one good thing Trump did, you’re a hack. Even from the left wing perspective, Trump did good things. He is pro LGBT, he is pro vaccine, he deported less people than Obama. From the right wing perspective, he’s done a lot of good too.

Educators don't get paid well, according to many. Is that a useless major?
I don’t believe you should need a college degree to teach high school algebra. In order to teach algebra in my book, you just need to know algebra. So I think if you want to be a teacher, you shouldn’t need college for it.
My main reason for possibly supporting free college is so that poor students that are smart can go to college.

But oh no! That means tax!
Free college costs the typical American 50 cents a day in taxes. But I’m courious as to how far does that argument go? Would we ban public school because taxes fund it? Would we not make COVID vaccines free? I don’t want to fund gender studies majors, but STEM might be okay.

According to Kyle Kulinski, Matt Walsh wants to execute the homeless.
He’s basically the “What is a woman?” guy. If you agree with him on this issue, I have no issue with that. But strongly criticize someone who advocates killing the homeless people. If you’re pro life for the fetus, that fetus grows up to be homeless, and you want them killed over it, you’re not pro life. You don’t have to adopt the homeless, but wanting to kill the homeless is barberic.

I forgot to tag you.
A woman will be devastated if she miscarries at all. You think a woman won't be devastated if she miscarries a zygote/human? How can you make that assumption?
I’d have to ask my pro life mom how she reacted when she inevitably miscarried zygotes. The mayo link isn’t working.
Created:
No, it's because women put themselves around bad people in bad situations.
Anyone who is having sex with her without the intent to conceive is doing a bad thing in a bad situation. That probably includes you if you have had vaginal sex with women.
The amount of women who get abortions because of rape, is very low.
I’m not contesting this, but your position is you would ban abortion even for rape victims, so you have to defend this no matter how rare abortions from rape were.
So the rest are a cause of just pure convenience. You are using peer pressure as the reason for abortions being ok?
I’m using peer pressure to relieze that you can’t punish abortion too harshly, certainly not with the death penalty.
Peer pressure is something that high schoolers have to deal with.
If highschoolers dealt with peer pressure well, they wouldn’t have sex at that age. I deal with peer pressure well because of my autism. I don’t have sex and I am very vocal about that. I try and influence other people to not have sex without conception intent, but there are way more pro sex people than anti sex people, so my influence is limited.
I am against having sex willingly and aborting a baby just for convenience.
There is a good chance your going to deal with an unwanted pregnancy if you engage in recreational vaginal sex.
You really think women are going to get the same amount if not more abortions, even when life in prison, or the death penalty is on the line. Not even that, just the thought of even 20 years in prison would stop a woman from doing it.
They will do it illegally (and there are ways they can do this, like getting drunk). The state doesn’t know who is getting drunk.
If the father paid for the abortion, then yes he should be punished too, but if he didn't then he didn't do anything wrong.
It’s his fault the women got the abortion since his sex made her get the abortion. If the guy just kept it in his pants, there would be no abortion.
Paying off debt even in history has not always worked out the best.
It’s not paying off debt; it’s significantly reducing poverty and it’s paid for not by taxpayer money, but the money coming from the females and males responsible for abortion.

@YouFound_Lxam
This is considering that women are willing to risk the death penalty for having unprotected sex, and or getting abortions.
The women that have sex tend to do so because of male peer pressure. You probably have had sex with females; they have sex because of men like you. If you don’t want females having sex, lead by example and don’t have sex with them.
Even in countries where abortion is banned, women still have sex without the desire to produce a kid (and they are much more likely to abort than western women).
Unfortunately, people are pro recreational sex.
And also it’s possible that females continue to have sex regardless of the penalty for abortion. If many females are doing this, you are going to have to execute a lot of females. It would make arguably more sense to execute both the female that got the abortion and the man who had sex with her.
That’s why I think whatever the penalty for abortion is should effect both parents of the aborted baby equally, so my ideal penalty is $1.3 a day for a decade (paid for by both parents of the aborted baby). 90% of the revenue goes to sponsor a starving child, getting that child out of poverty, and the remaining 10% pays for the abortion. If you take a life from abortion, you should be legally required to save a life by some other method (and child sponsorship is a cheap way to save a life).
And the claim that a zygote is a human being doesn’t make sense because of the following rationale: 30 to 70 percent of zygotes fail to attach to the uterine wall, so they miscarry basically. If a pregnant female miscarries a 12 week fetus, she will be devestated. If she miscarried a zygote, she won’t be the slightest bit upset. If she was and she gave birth to 3 kids, she would probably be upset about losing about 3 kids due to zygotes miscarrying. No female I met is sad about the zygotes she miscarried. If it was a 12 week fetus that they miscarried, then she would be upset. But this leads me to believe the zygote and the 12 week fetus aren’t equal.

How can an abortion not be premeditated?
It’s premeditated, but it’s very common, way more common than all other forms of homicide combined. Killing 25 million females for abortion is a nonstarter. If you know 60 females, 10 of them would have to be put to death for abortion (or life imprisonment if you oppose the death penalty for murder). In a world where .001% of females get abortions in their lifetime, you can get away with the death penalty for abortion. But when it’s 1/6 females, it’s not good to kill THAT many people.
Created:

@YouFound_Lxam
Not all murder cases go strait to the death penalty. And some have varied sentences, but taking into consideration it was the murder of a baby I would say it would most likely be death or life in prison.
I oppose life in jail for ANY crime because I don’t want tax dollars feeding murderers and rapists.
I've come to the conclusion of the mother being prosecuted on manslaughter charges, rather than murder, because they didn't actually kill the child. But then again, they did pay for the crime to be done. It would have to be either manslaughter or murder, one of the two.
Charging for manslaughter doesn’t make sense; if abortion was banned, abortionists wouldn’t perform abortions which means the female is going to have to perform her own abortion.
No, it would have to be first degree, because it was a premeditated murder. The mother planned it in advance. Also would be infanticide.
All abortions are premeditated. 1 in 6 women have gotten a premeditated abortion. If you know 60 women, 10 of them about got a premeditated abortion. But I don’t support making the penalty for abortion life in jail or the death penalty because it’s not pragmatic.
Again, not telling women not to have sex, I am just saying be smart about it and not be reckless with it.
It is possible (and happens a lot) where you follow every rule for consensual sex and still end up pregnant. Birth control reduces abortions; it doesn’t eliminate them. YOU shouldn’t be having recreational sex.
Created:
-->
@YouFound_Lxam
That should be motivation for women to stop being reckless with their body's.
I have no issue with telling women (and men) that they shouldn’t have vaginal sex unless they want a kid. But I also think if you tell women to not have sex and you have sex with women, it’s hypocritical. So I hope your a virgin because if not, women have sex because of YOU.
I am a virgin and proud of it. I encourage people to wait until they want a kid to have sex, and I try and not watch porn. But when 97% of America has recreational sex, pro lifers need to come to terms with that.

@YouFound_Lxam
Well for starters, all abortion cases would have to go to court. Just the same as if a cop shoots someone. It may be justified, but we need to make sure it was. Abortion would be classified as murder, so it would be the same as first degree murder.Both the mother and the doctor should be prosecuted.
If it was an abortion derived from a pregnancy made from consensual sex, the penalty for first degree murder is life in jail or the death penalty. It’s a nonstarter to put 1/6 females to death for abortion.
If you know 60 women (you probably know more), then 10 of them would be put to death. Abortion should be tried as 5th degree murder, so the penalty can be light but proportional.
If a woman gets an abortion, she and the man who impregnated her should both be subject to wage garnishments of $1.3 a day for 10 years. 90% of that revenue goes to sponsor a starving American kid, getting that kid out of poverty. The remaining 10% pays for the abortion and taxes associated with the abortion.
If you take a life from abortion, you should be legally required to save a life by some other method. But under no pretext should abortion merit the death penalty!
