Maybe we should tell people that kids are getting vaccinated by guns. Then we'd probably see something done. Vaccines that turn people trans and kill them.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

"Guns don't kill people.:
"Yes, I've heard that. People kill people."
"No, bullets do."
Have all the guns you want. Slap a $1,000 tax on each bullet.
Preserves the second amendment and adds greatly to the tax intake.

It's not the bullet that kills you. It's the hole.

Quote:The Justice Department seized 32 websites and charged two Russian state media employees Wednesday in a Kremlin-backed campaign to influence voters in the U.S. presidential election by exploiting societal and political divisions — and by criticizing the competency of the U.S. military.
The Russian government used the websites to spread propaganda in an effort to bolster its interests, reduce international support for Ukraine and influence voters in the upcoming U.S. presidential election, as well as in other foreign elections, the Justice Department alleged in an affidavit. Russian actors tried to stir anti-military sentiments, among other tactics, the affidavit says.
Some of the websites were designed to mimic authentic news outlets, such as The Washington Post and Fox News, by publishing fake articles under copied logos and the names of real journalists, the Justice Department said. In other instances, the perpetrators created unique media brands to push propaganda.
[...]
The Justice Department did not identify which candidate Russia sought to boost, and it redacted the names of political parties in the Russian planning documents released Wednesday, labeling them as “U.S. Political Party A” and “U.S. Political Party B.” However, the Russian documents make clear that the Kremlin favors former President Donald Trump, seeing him as skeptical of U.S. support for Ukraine. For instance, the documents describe “Political Party B” as being “left-wing” and currently holding power, and “Political Party A” as conservative.
“It makes sense for Russia to put a maximum effort to ensure that the ‘U.S. Political Party A’ point of view (first and foremost, the opinion of ‘Candidate A’ supporters) wins over the U.S. public opinion,” one Kremlin planning document states. “This includes provisions on peace in Ukraine in exchange for territories, the need to focus on the problems of the U.S. economy, returning troops home from all over the world, etc.”

How to spot a Russian 101
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Setting aside your obnoxious sexism, he did so because he wants Trump to win and reckons that his endorsement will play against Harris.
The more I read your posts, the less-informed you appear. You should read more and post less, especially when you comment on American politics ... because it's clear you don't know your ass from third-base about the topic.
