Noah Knigga's last name is pronounced "Ka-nay-guh" (kə-NAY-guh), with the emphasis on the second syllable, a pronunciation clarified by the athlete himself in interviews with Robert Griffin III, despite its spelling.

It’s like the ‘Emperor’s New Clothes’ in reverse. He’s telling us we’re the ones who are naked while they do their best to cover everything up.” As Kimmel went on, he ripped into Trump’s Tuesday morning rant, in which the president asked if the people of Minnesota wanted to live in a “community in which there are thousands of already convicted murderers, drug dealers and addicts, rapists, violent released and escape prisoners, dangerous people from foreign mental institutions and insane asylums, and other deadly criminals too dangerous to even mention.” The late night host was noticeably baffled by Trump’s social media post, as he compared the president to “the Undertaker at Wrestlemania.” He added: “I mean, seriously, would somebody get this hypoglycemic 5-year-old a fidget spinner? He needs something to do with his hands. I really don’t know what this old nut is rambling about, but the protests in Minneapolis are real enough for the MAGA-verse media to descend upon them.”

No, saying "That's what I voted for" meaning a vulgar gesture from Trump in public is not a violation of forum rules.

And in the Father Trump thread, Hell Toupee said "This is what I voted for!" (this being giving the finger in public).

Folks, this our President, who made history today being the first POTUS ever to give anyone the finger in public.

Wait. Aren't you the same guy who started at least 5 threads about me in this forum and for a period of time mentioned me in a post almost on a daily basis and who also @'d me probably a couple dozen times? You even referenced me specifically in the thread title of your Father Trump thread and then kept it there for over a month. And now, you, of all people are complaining about being quoted or tagged? You can't make this stuff up. If being quoted or tagged by me bothers you so much, why don't you utilize the ignore feature? If you did, then you wouldn't see any time that I quoted you or happened to @ you. Just sayin'.

After last night's impressive win, I think he deserves his own thread as I am sure he will be making a lot of news duing the next four years. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/new-york-city-election-results-9.6966833 New York City's new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, calls out Trump in victory speech Voter turnout was highest the city has seen in decades The Associated Press · Posted: Nov 04, 2025 6:42 PM PST | Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor of New York on Tuesday, capping a stunning ascent for the 34-year-old democratic socialist, who promised to transform city government to restore power to the working class and fight back against a hostile Trump administration. In a victory for the Democratic party’s progressive wing, Mamdani defeated former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa. Mamdani must now navigate the unending demands of America’s biggest city and deliver on ambitious — skeptics say unrealistic — campaign promises. With his commanding win, the democratic socialist will etch his place in history as the city’s first Muslim mayor, the first of South Asian heritage and the first born in Africa. He will also become New York’s youngest mayor in more than a century when he takes office on Jan. 1. “The conventional wisdom would tell you that I am far from the perfect candidate. I am young, despite my best efforts to grow older. I am Muslim. I am a democratic socialist. And most damning of all, I refuse to apologize for any of this,” Mamdani declared to a roaring crowd at his victory party. He cast his win as a boon for blue-collar workers struggling to get by. “New York, tonight you have delivered a mandate for change,” he said, vowing to ”wake up each morning with a singular purpose: To make this city better for you than it was the day before.” He also addressed U.S. President Donald Trump head on. “New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and as of tonight, led by an immigrant,” he said, adding that, “If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him.” Trump appeared to acknowledge Mamdani’s challenges, posting ”…AND SO IT BEGINS!” on his Truth Social site. A commanding win More than 2 million New Yorkers cast ballots in the contest, the largest turnout in a mayoral race in more than 50 years, according to the city’s Board of Elections. With roughly 90 per cent of the votes counted, Mamdani held an approximately 9 percentage point lead over Cuomo. [...]

Users it?

You are right. That is you. Any mention of a gay man or a lesbian is irresistible bait for you to make an anti-LGBTQ slur. You hate LGBTQ folks as you have proven once again.

https://x.com/NYCMayor/status/2010862811073675276 I am outraged to hear a New York City Council employee was detained in Nassau County by federal immigration officials at a routine immigration appointment. This is an assault on our democracy, on our city, and our values. I am calling for his immediate release and will continue to monitor the situation.

So what 85% want doesn't matter. Got it.

85% of Greenlanders don't want to be annexed or to be any part of the US.

The aircraft also carried its munitions inside the fuselage, rather than visibly under its wings, they said. The nonmilitary appearance is significant, according to legal specialists, because the administration has argued its lethal boat attacks are lawful — not murders — because President Trump “determined” the United States is in an armed conflict with drug cartels. But the laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status to fool adversaries into dropping their guard, then attacking and killing them. That is a war crime called “perfidy.” Retired Maj. Gen. Steven J. Lepper, a former deputy judge advocate general for the United States Air Force, said that if the aircraft had been painted in a way that disguised its military nature and got close enough for the people on the boat to see it — tricking them into failing to realize they should take evasive action or surrender to survive — that was a war crime under armed-conflict standards. “Shielding your identity is an element of perfidy,” he said. “If the aircraft flying above is not identifiable as a combatant aircraft, it should not be engaged in combatant activity.” [...]

You claim your not anti-LGBTQ, but you keep posting pejorative terms like this, showing everyone your bigotry.

As I suspected, if passed, the bill would not be mandatory. https://spectrumnews1.com/ma/worcester/news/2026/01/12/massachusetts-climate-driving-emissions-robyn-kennedy "Goals, not mandates." Massachusetts State Senator says driving limits not part of legislation BY Spectrum News Staff Worcester PUBLISHED 8:21 AM ET Jan. 12, 2026 In the Massachusetts State Senate bill S.2246 is currently moving through the legislative process. The bill, presented by Cynthia Stone Creem (D) - Norfolk and Middlesex, is titled "An Act aligning the commonwealth's transportation plans with its mandates and goals for reducing emissions and vehicle miles traveled." One of the petitioners of the legislation is State Senator Robyn Kennedy (D) - First Worcester. State Senator Kennedy told Spectrum News 1 that the bill addresses two important items. Kennedy, "One, it acknowledges that we're facing a climate crisis and car emissions are one of the leading factors driving the crisis that we're in. And so what it does is seeks to bring experts together to say, what are the goals we should be looking at to reduce driving. And I want to be clear on that goals, not mandates." Kennedy continued by saying the second item of importance is the bill addresses the imbalance of public transportation funding for Greater Boston. "The other really important thing that this bill does is it pulls together a commission to talk about outside of Boston, which has the privilege of having reliable public transportation. Central and Western Mass, which may look very different than what's happening in Boston, to make sure that our drivers have alternative, feasible, reliable public transportation, other modes of transportation, so that they can choose to reduce the time that they spend in their vehicles." Kennedy stressed that this bill will aim to set goals, not limit the citizens of the Commonwealth's driving miles. "That's the purpose of this bill, is to bring together and to set what is feasible, what are feasible goals, looking at things like vehicle miles traveled, which is a litmus that's used all over the country to determine how much time people spend behind the wheel of their cars. And so it does not right now prescribe, it does not set to prescribe any specific goals. It's about bringing together experts to say, you know, what should those goals look like But by first saying, what do we need to make sure that it's feasible to achieve those goals?" [...]

Obviously Hell Toupee is cheering it (as evidenced by the emoji). No matter what Trump's ICE agents do his stock answer is "That's what I voted for!" He wants US citizens and non-citizens to be terrorized and or live in terror by these thugs.

An ethnic or racial stereotype is not the truth, just a misconception of the truth and creates a distorted view of reality,

Of course it isn't. It's about meeting their weekly deportation quota.
