“Like various countries in the world, Brazil is suffering a conservative wave.”

 

Brazilian judge approves 'gay conversion therapy', sparking national outrage

 

A Brazilian judge has approved gay “conversion therapy” in a ruling which prompted widespread outrage and raised fears of a conservative backlash.

 

Waldemar de Carvalho, a federal judge in the capital of Brasília, overruled a 1999 decision by the Federal Council of Psychology that forbade psychologists from offering widely discredited treatments which claims to “cure” gay people.

 

Coming a week after a bank cancelled an exhibition of gay art after protests from rightwing and evangelical Christian groups, the ruling has raised fears that progressive policies could be overturned.

 

Brazil has a growing population of evangelical Christians who have protested vociferously at plotlines in television soap operas featuring gay or transgender characters, and increasingly ally themselves with burgeoning rightwing groups.

 

“This decision is a big regression to the progressive conquests that the LBGT community had in recent decades,” David Miranda, a leftist councillor in Rio de Janeiro and one of the country’s few openly gay politicians, told the Guardian. “Like various countries in the world, Brazil is suffering a conservative wave.”

 

Ivete Sangolo, one of Brazil’s most celebrated singers, wrote: “The sick ones are those who believe in this grand absurdity,” in an Instagram post commenting on the ruling.

Could you crazy dumb shits keeps the posts to a few sentences with proper spacing.  
 

I dont read the long posts, but often wonder if I am missing out on something entertaining within them.

 

It would be beneficial to my mental health.

 

Thanks.

Don't go to Brazil if you are LBGT or they may cure you of it.

 

Short enough???

Pretty sure I'm the one being trolled here. Only staunch Trump support articles don't parallel my position on this. Even those articles typically say that tapping Manaforts phone was a way to listen to Trump and Manaforts conversations. Key to that being "Tapping Manaforts phone". Not Trumps. The legal system sees it the same way. There isn't even a lawyer that I see having the bells to make a case for Trump here. Manaforts line was tapped, not Trumps. Speculate all you want on the intent. There was enough for a court ordered wiretap. We don't know what that was based on. None of us do. All I'm defending is that Trump can't walk on air that he was right based on this.

 

For all I know, maybe he was tapped. But I don't see any evidence actually suggesting that online. Again, if you have anything, show.

Colin Kaepernick, unsigned, wins NFL Players Association MVP

 

The out-of-work quarterback was honored by the NFL Players Association for his philanthropy and grassroots activism

 

Colin Kaepernick is still not on an NFL roster, but that isn't stopping the NFL Players Association from recognizing him for his community engagement. Friday, the unsigned quarterback was awarded the Week 1 NFLPA Community MVP for his philanthropy and grassroots activism in support of marginalized communities.

 

On September 7, the first official day of the NFL season, Kaepernick announced a $100,000 donation to be split evenly between four charities: DREAM, which aids after-school programs for New York City youth; Coalition for the Homeless; The Gathering for Justice’s War on Children, which is a new program that will fight against child incarceration; and United We Dream, which focuses on immigrant youth. Days later, Kaepernick hosted a Back to School Backpack Giveaway at the Lower Eastside Girls Club of New York.

Red Scare: Dem Senator Suggests Russians Behind Pelosi Protest

 

Jeanne Shaheen claims Moscow may have recruited dreamers to shout down House Democratic leader

 

Did Russian operatives recruit the Latino activists who crashed House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi’s press conference on Monday?

 

New Hampshire Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen apparently thinks they may have.

 

“Who knows who’s stirred up this kind of animosity. What we know about the Russians and their interference in the 2016 elections is that they tried to increase divisions within this country,” Shaheen said Tuesday on CNN.

What were the players thinking?

This was going to fill the ever growing number empty seats? Or boost the sliding TV ratings.

Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.

Man i can't help you.I'm under the impression the FBI could tell us why phones were tapped and who they wanted to listen to and you still wouldn't believe it.Oh wait,they already did.

BTW this is the legal definition for wiretapping in NY:

 

New York Consolidated Laws, Penal Law - PEN § 250.00 Eavesdropping;  definitions of terms

 

1. “Wiretapping” means the intentional overhearing or recording of a telephonic or telegraphic communication by a person other than a sender or receiver thereof, without the consent of either the sender or receiver, by means of any instrument, device or equipment.  The normal operation of a telephone or telegraph corporation and the normal use of the services and facilities furnished by such corporation pursuant to its tariffs or necessary to protect the rights or property of said corporation shall not be deemed “wiretapping.”

 

Notice it says "sender or receiver" in the definition of the law in the location this took place. 

 

Lets reiterate: BY New York Law: Wiretapping involves the "sender and receiver", therefore when Manafort talked to Trump on a wiretapped line, the Receiver "Trump" was being wiretapped.

                      Yet they blackballed Pete Rose.....

[datzenmike]

Well fuck, if you're having a phone call there would have to be sender and receiver. If the tapee is not aware of the fact he is being tapped the receiver sure as fuck won't know. You can't tap one side of a conversation or what's the point?

 

Now the Donald isn't as stupid as he looks. Surely he would have some surveillance savvy and have his communications checked regularly for 'bugs'. Also I doubt he would really believe that anything he said on the phone is actually private... what fucking IDIOT would???? So maybe he was informed that there was something fishy going on with his or his property phones by his communications security team, and this prompted him to say he was tapped to stir the pot?  

 

Frankly I could give a shit who tapped who, or why or when. Presumably it was legal, but if there was, lets hear all the juicy bits.

[datzenmike]

                      Yet the blackballed Pete Rose.....

 

Pete Rose is like a corked bat. Nothing wrong with it, it's expected, somethings wrong if you don't try..... until you are found out. Then you are a dick.

The point is we come here day after fucking day trying to change the other guy's mind.  People are not having any of it.  People believe in things in spite of any proof to the contrary you could possibly provide.  So why do it?  Because we like hearing ourselves talk. 

[Jesse C.]

California slipping further and further into the Liberal Abyss. Suing on an environmental facade, this just reeks of hypocrisy. if the environment was such an issue, then why have they not fixed all the shit flowing in from Mexico via the Tijuana river? But yet, the Wall is going to create more environmental hazards. 

 

What a bunch of fuckheads!

or because we think our opinions is the truth and we think the world will be a better place if our opinions are utilized. But a lot of times we look for information that backs up our values or opinions, hence confirmation bias. Perhaps better we like to ruffle others views and we feel safe venting our frustration here at Ratsun. Carry on.

oh, I think tr8er just sees things a bit different :rofl:

 

No matter how clear the evidence is, people can always find an interpretation that will allow them to cling to what they want to believe. This is well illustrated by the story of the priest and the rabbi who were driving along the road, the rabbi in front and the priest behind. As they approached the intersection, the rabbi gently stood on the brakes and brought his car to a halt. The priest, however, had been gazing all round the countryside. Noticing at last that he was right on top of the rabbi's car, he jammed on the brakes, but to no avail. He crashed into the rear of the rabbi's car.

 

The priest and the rabbi were surveying the damage when along came an Irish policeman. After he had examined the wreck and had ascertained the respective owners of the two cars, he was clearly a man in great mental and emotional distress. He found himself in the grip of two simultaneous, conflicting duties, his duty to the Church and his duty to the law. He began to tremble and stammer. Suddenly the answer to his prayer came. The wrinkles left his brow, and a look of confidence and serenity came over his face. He looked sternly at the rabbi, and then, turning to the priest, he asked, "Father, what speed was this man going when he backed into you?"
