Controversial question. In language terms is faggot used as a synonym for homosexual any different from using gay as a synonym for homosexual?

@elonmusk He could start by not using X as a personal mouthpiece. Ruining the concept. My first big argument against big tech

Why not face the fact the harness Messenger is past the use by date. Top 4yo now open class pacers not what the concept envisaged

My man of the week is the amazing Italian Alex Zenardi who has died aged 59. Formula 1 driver, multiple Indycar champion then multiple Paralympic gold medallist in hand cycling after losing both legs and almost his life in a race smash after which he just said "it was my chance to start again" .Truly remarkable,athlete and person.

If Michael Jackson were alive today, he'd be a Trump supporter, just like the majority of America is.
Trump stood up for Michael when the fake news weaponized lies against him.
The success of the Michael movie, like the success of the Melania movie, is enraging Democrats.

@OneBadDude_ Except by 8 million votes in 2020.Half if what he would lose by tomorrow

President Trump doesn’t drink alcohol.
President Trump doesn’t do drugs.
President Trump doesn’t smoke.
President Trump tells hard truths rather than easy lies.
President Trump puts America first.
President Trump doesn’t play games.
President Trump doesn’t lose.
President Trump is a man of God.
President Trump knows what a woman is.
Is there any wonder why the democrats don’t like him?

@stylist_que_2 Try reading the news. You may become better at writing it.

The first president that was not in it for political gain he knows he’s not running again The first president that isn’t taking the salary afforded him the first president that actually wants our country to be number one in the world and is doing everything he can to get it there the first president to stop Iran from terrorizing the world and getting nuclear weapons I could go on and on but I don’t have room on this platform.

Might have had to run down his brother but brilliant Ortiz ride to win the Derby. Followed the outstanding favourite everywhere even tho seeming out of the race and got the last say. Award winning stuff

NZ media at its best over Sherman story
"TVNZ declined to comment when approached by Stuff" That was at the end of the article. Would have been the intro if not for the buddy buddy system we have.

Police after years of complaining about assistance to Phillips family now quickly end investigations about it. What a surprise.

World Cup and wars.I am trying to imagine a soccer international between England and Germany at Wembley in 1942

@GaryPayinda Struggle to afford the basics? Or still spending on the nice to haves?
English
The land of the Haves and Have-nots, the wealthy and sorted, where property investors and the highest earners get taxpayer assistance and move ahead while the rest sink.
Where the average worker now struggles to afford the basics.
Even if you voted for National, you did not vote for this.
As a nation, we can do better. We must do better.
If govt isn't there to help the regular, average NZer, what good is it?

You and I go into overdraft with the bank for a few hours, immediate cost. Christchurch firm is $10m in the red before any action taken. How does that work?

WAS OBAMA CAUGHT STEALING A DEAD MAN’S SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER?
Was Obama using the SSN of a Connecticut Man who died in Hawaii?
It appears that he ILLEGALLY did so to occupy the White House.
Fake name.
Fake papers.
Fake presidency.
EXPOSED…the ULTIMATE Manchurian Candidate

Nobody seems to want to explain how Charles "agrees with me more than me" with Trump that Iran must not have nuclear weapons, when his own Government refuses to support the war alleged to have that as its aim

@Honey00327 @liz_churchill10 HE LOST IN 2020. By 8 million votes. Being self taught not the same as self delusion
English
@dvdmacca @liz_churchill10 Correction. He won 3 elections and he might get his 3 term. We use the Electoral College in my country because be are a Republic. My education taught me how the government works. Being self taught saves a lot of money. There're a lot of educated fools who wasted money.
