Taught some kids and young adults ballet, which lifts their self-esteem, assurance, physical strength and agility, and breeds a sense of purpose and responsibility. πŸ’ͺπŸ’•

This is why it’s near impossible to get someone to change their mind about who to vote for.

It’s media, entertainment and news silos, as well as confirmation bias. Most people don’t want to hear information that conflicts with what they already believe to be true, and when they do hear it, they will brush it aside as fake or propaganda.

Since when does the interest of the federal come before the interest of the citizens?

Everything he says and does is a reaction to and reflection of his paranoia and insecurity.

I speculate that it’s because underneath the β€œpro life” movement is the much stronger β€œpro-natalism” agenda. It’s not so much that they don’t want abortions to happen, it’s that they want more babies born. So advocating for vasectomies would go against their goal of increasing the human population.

This blatantly shows where this administration is lying left and right: they clearly do NOT care a whit about saving money or cutting out waste or fraud. Just pulling tough guy stunt maneuvers.

And for what? Some nebulous, vague promises of β€œAmerican Greatness β€œ that is undefined. Greatness is moving forward, not back.
