“(With) today’s Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity, that fundamentally changed. For all practical purposes, there are virtually no limits on what the president can do. It’s a fundamentally new principle and it’s a dangerous precedent because the power of the office will no longer be constrained by the law even including the supreme court of the United States.”
Throughout his address, Biden underscored the gravity of the moment, emphasizing that the only barrier to the president’s authority now lies in the personal restraint of the officeholder. He warned vehemently against the prospect of Trump returning to power, painting a stark picture of the dangers such an outcome could pose.

Calls you out on the word pussy but doesn’t call you out on the word cunt lmao
That would be xenophobic, because the word is used everywhere in the UK constantly. (/s of course)
Edit: The removed comment above was mine, and I told Bolex that using the word pussy isn’t misogynistic, just like calling someone a dick isn’t misandrist… World News mods didn’t like that though because people were agreeing with me…and we can’t have anyone calling out the victim-olympics, wouldn’t want that!
How dare you? Haven’t you seen the World News logo? This is a criticism-free zone.
Geez, how fragile.

You do you pal. I replied because you keep doubling down. I don’t care much to fit some homogeneous mindset so I’m fine being wrong. The fake internet point blackhole you got going does got you riled up evident by this engagement

Now I need to look up the origin of that word. I thought it came up separately from the body part reference.
It did. It’s an abbreviation of the word pusillanimous.
However, almost everybody thinks it’s referring to vagina, so it doesn’t really matter anymore. Even most people who use it think that.

You’ll notice that I said that in my post.

And what’s the problem? If it were sexist they would be using “stop being a woman” compared to “stop being a pussy”. One is sexist the other is just an insult. Grow some skin. This is the internet, after all.

Because pussies tend to be soft and delicate and theyre saying he should be hard and strong instead of soft and delicate.

Have you ever touched a hard, rigid, strong pussy?

Lol and what makes having a low temperature desirable, because those people are cool. You really are digging for something to be offended by.
deleted by creator
You could, but you’d be wrong. You take a word with a literal meaning and use it as slang, giving it another making. Do I really need to point out how slang works?
You sound like a real dick

Ey, you’re catching on

Lol, look at how many convos you have, how bored must you be? Somehow I’m worse because I’m talking with one person, not 10? But ya, silly me engaging in conversation on a forum.
Lol, this “have the last word” line is basically a meme at this point. I’ve called out your issues and hypocrisy in other to threads you don’t respond to, but you respond to this with a weak attempt to save face. You had a bad take, got called out, and now you’re running away, tail between your legs.
You’ve been done, when half a dozen people wrecked your bad stance, at least you recognize it now.

I am fairly certain “pussy” is slang for pusillanimous. Can it be used misogynisticly, yes. Was that the intent here, I don’t think so based off the context.

From the link:
And the f slur means “a bundle of sticks”. That doesn’t make it not a slur.

So based off of that comment alone and the context surrounding it, do you truly believe their intent was to be misogynistic or were they using slang to emphisize their frustration while calling Biden a coward?
deleted by creator
Yeah, I guess I can see your point. I was under the impression that a lot more people were aware of the root of that word. I grew up reading a lot of books, so I guess that factored into my view. Thanks for the perspective, I am all for phasing out legitimately problematic language.

Christ, can you fuck off?
These are the fucking hand wringing “liberals” that I can’t stand.
Feelings over Freedom!
I don’t know where I fall because whereas I believe in equity for all and protecting the children and planet and all that shit, I also strongly lean towards swift and immediate retribution and don’t care whose feelings get hurt.

Imagine thinking that being offended is going to stop someone from using speech for the specific purpose of offending.
Shut up wuss.
