It forced me to look up why she was being pardoned and for what

“Anthony, who died in 1906, had been arrested in 1872 for violating laws that had permitted only men to vote.”

Hardly. This is blind pandering, and the media will say as much.

Oh, yes. THIS will surely stop them from calling him a misogynist.

Yeah, why bother defending yourself to assholes who are never going to support you? You think these people have any concept of factual info or hear any opposing viewpoint fairly presented? The left is a cult of brainwashed people and ignorant fools.

We can have the opinion that its a waste of executive power and still love Trump! I don't have to approve of everything he does, I just have to vote for him like my life depends on it.

It's still lame. Why not energize your base with something real like pardoning Assange? That would be news. It would be real.

Instead we get this political bullshit. WE DID NOT ELECT A FUCKING POLITICIAN! Why the fuck is he turning into one?

Congratulations, suffocate any valid criticism of Trump (which is quite timid in this case) and you make this forum appear like a cult. By wanting to make it look good in an authoritarian, censorious way, you contribute to make it look TERRIBLE. And not only from the outside, but also from the inside. And I am at 9k comment points btw, so I ain't born yesterday either.

While I too am not pleased by Trump's action - and we all are merely stating the elephant in the room - also in hopes someone from the Trump staff would read and relay it to pardon Assange/Snowden - what annoys me a multitude more is your insufferable Karen comment.

I am debating and flaming almost every day on 9gag with brainless libtards and mask-faggots, but NOTHING reaches the level of pure cringe you just brought up. Reminds me of my cringe comment in school back when I was 14.

Obozo didn't have to work so hard to pander for support. He had smoothbrains lining up to s-ck him off every day.

And it's not like he really gave a s-it about black people- or anyone other than himself for that matter.

It’s always a good idea to have irrational people who are led by their emotions in every aspect deciding everything for others including a war.

Well looking at where we are since women started to vote I'd say they were just laws.

NotoriousCIC 7 points ago +8 / -1

Yep. 100%. Don’t give a shit if it offends the PC squad. It’s true. All of the bleeding-heart lunacy, identity politics, open borders “OMG! This kid is crying. Let’s flood our country with migrants!” Trans shit- all stuff women are the most responsible for. Ever seen a dad be the one to lead the charge to make his kid trans? Nope.

Except for that the founding fathers had nothing to say on who should vote. The Constitution originally did not address the issue at all, and decisions about voting eligibility were all made at the state level — and it varied tremendously from state to state.

Half the women of the US voted Trump in 2016.

90% of black people voted Hillary.

People vote how they vote based on temperament.

Look at all the leftist men who vote based on emotion.

However, if women are going to vote, they need to be able to be drafted. Just saying. That's not very equal or equitable.

Also, I think we should bring back the property ownership stipulation.

NihilistCaregiver 7 points ago +11 / -4

Women should also work in coal mines and as garbage collectors. Equality doesn't mean "give us only the high paying jobs".

This is not true, unless you can produce some evidence that half of women voted for Trump in 2016. According to this and other sources I recall hearing about since 2016, 39% of women voted for Trump, which is a far cry from half, and demonstrates the imbalance of women voting the wrong way in America.

Keiichi81 10 points ago +14 / -4

The left will say it's transparent pandering, and will largely be correct.

The right will say "meh, should've been someone relevant like Flynn, Assange, or Snowden," and will also largely be correct.

This kinda just felt like a pointless cocktease.

Annnnd the crowd goes mild. I get the timing, it's the 100 year anniversary of the 19th amendment, but it seems silly to pardon a dead person. She was found guilty and charged a fine, which she didn't pay, it's not like she spent time in prison.

Assange won't be pardoned in an election year guys, if it happens at all, it will be 2nd term.

Women should not have the right to vote or run for office. Thier brains ain't made for leadership, they are made nurturing. Stop denial of nature.

With good reason patriot. Biology dictates this. Women can not navigate with out leadership. Period. No successful women have pioneered.ome thing before a man in any race except for like being a royal bitch but I bet a guy even did that first.

I think it's a good move. Wemon were more opressed than black men at one point.

Lol not that I care, but steer the victimhood lenses this way. Throw a wrench in their games.

RuccusRob 8 points ago +9 / -1

That ain’t true. Not being able to vote and not being able to look at someone the wrong way lest you get beaten to a bloody pulp are two different things. A whole lot of people couldn’t vote before the 20th century.

BigBobbyB 6 points ago +7 / -1

I'm fairly sure we can all still get beaten to a bloody pulp for looking at someone the wrong way.

Excuse me. I mean looking at the wrong person at all.

Miztivin -6 points ago +5 / -11

Wemon were force to have kids, couldn't get devorces, couldn't work, couldn't wear certain clothes, couldnt own buisness, couldn't see a doctor on her own accord, and basically, couldn't exsist without a man and couldn't do anything without a man's concent.

But!

I'm not complaining. We're free now. I'm mostly joking.

Edit: I'm not downplaying black suffering either. I'm saying civil rights laws and racial equality laws were passed before wemon rights laws.

Wemon were treated like property for a long time too.

RuccusRob 5 points ago +8 / -3

Forced to have kids? You mean forced to be responsible for something they brought into this world? Couldn’t work? They could, so that isn’t true. Couldn’t see a doctor on their own? What evidence do you have of that? Couldn’t wear certain clothes? Neither could anyone else back in those days. They had different clothes for the time of day for a reason.

And even after all of that it was hard to prosecute women for crimes, they didn’t have to sign up for the draft, they along with children got to be saved first in the event of a disaster. Custody almost always went to women. . .

Meanwhile during all those times black men were getting hanged for stupid crap and a whole town of black people was raided because nearby people were jealous. This happened in Tulsa btw. Not the Deep South.

I’m not down with the oppression olympics, but what you said isn’t true. You’re talking about a time we’re everyone was messed up. Where no one could do exactly what they wanted. But it was also a time where having a black kid as a lead character in a movie was grounds for censorship. Just look at the history of Our Gang.

Frog_Anne 3 points ago +4 / -1

This is not true at all. In terms of having kids, certainly the kinds of birth control we have today had not been invented, but there were still methods of preventing pregnancy - how do you think prostitutes kept themselves from being pregnant all the time? They used some kind of "cleaning" method with a sponge and vinegar or some such thing. There were also various herbs one could purchase on the sly from the local "wise women" that might induce abortion, plus back-ally abortions - some even done by husbands. Women have always had ways of preventing pregnancy or killing their own babies.

Divorce was more difficult for both men and women, it couldn't be done on a whim. But if you read books, it was still possible (for those with financial means) to simply abandon their spouse and live elsewhere with their lover, which might induce the spouse to agree to divorce.

Poor and lower class women have always had to work, as you should know - who do you think housemaids, laundry women, housekeepers, dressmakers were? Women (and children) even worked in coal mines, plus factories of course. There were jobs that either barred women, or they couldn't easily access because they were seldom educated for it, but that also applied to most poor men too. They could also own businesses - the most common were probably dressmaking/milliner's shops, or boarding houses.

Depending on where she lived, there were things a woman couldn't do, or couldn't easily have access to, but these history myths are a gross exaggeration. There is a strange tendency with feminists to keep parroting these myths about downtrodden, enslaved women in comparison to privileged men. They're comparing myths about women to the top ranks of men - the vast majority of men didn't have choices in education or jobs, the majority of them had dangerous low-paying jobs, and no money for education to get a better one, and weren't "in charge" of anyone, just had a supervisor yelling at them for their 8 or 10 or 12 hour shift.

kestral 2 points ago +3 / -1

It's not a bad thing to do, it doesn't hurt and it probably should have been done. People are just disappointed because a pardon for Assange, Flynn or Snowden would have been much more impactful to anything relevant to today

Miztivin 2 points ago +2 / -0

Well I guess it all worked out in the end. Lol

I cant belive they went this route.
