Boycotting All TV Networks

Permanent network boycott if Trump is removed.
Disagreeing with Communists is NOT an impeachable offense.

I boycott the host if they say Anti-Abortion instead of Pro-Life. Of course in the same sentence they will say Pro-Choice (the unborn do not have a choice, nor does the father!!!).

genuine question here... why would you literally be boycotting the messenger if Trump gets removed from office? I'm pretty sure Fox News or CBS or whatever are NOT sending armed goons in there to drag him out of the white house themselves...

Trump has screwed himself. Clearly. Nobody to blame but himself.

I suspect the armed goons doing the dragging will be a couple of Marines in full dress blues. (hopefully one will be Hispanic and the other African-American. A woman escort would also be acceptable)

Trump will be leaving the White House of his own volition when his terms are up. He just announced he's moving to Florida when he leaves the WH.
This is a pro-Harris/Walz account

Unlike Nixon, Trump will not leave office in disgrace. He's incapable of feeling disgrace.

A few years ago a movie reviewer in the L.A. Times wrote a really enthusiastic review of a movie (I don't recall which one.) It was one of those feel good, life affirming movies. The reviewer described it as "pro life."

An editor at the Times changed "pro life" to "anti abortion." The movie had absolutely nothing to do with abortion.

Should be pro-choice and anti-choice.

Can’t be pro-life because many who are against choosing abortion are pro-capitol-punishment. And those same voters are against their tax dollars supporting various social programs which save lives. So pro-life is a misnomer.

That editor obviously had some sort of agenda or was going by some "capital J" Journalistic edict. Dumb. Thanks for sharing that TT.

That would be incorrect. I do not support capital punishment, which is rare as hen's teeth compared to the 40+ million abortions since Roe v Wade.

If Pro-Life is a misnomer then Pro-Choice is a flat-out lie. They don't even give the father any choice, nor the unborn.

Choice is the choice of the person who is pregnant. Period. Nobody else is carrying or giving birth.

All pregnant females make that choice to carry and deliver, or not. Every pregnant female must choose.

Plenty of pro-lifers are pro capital punishment. AND - do not adopt orphans nor become foster parents. Nor do anything to care for unwanted children or children living in poverty. And many are not active in opposing Trump’s “kids in cages” and family separations, and no tracking of the traumatized separated refugee children.

They’re not pro-life. They’re anti-choice to abort a pregnancy.
