God help us if any of us ran for public office and they dug around we had said on random message boards.

That being said, reading his posts, I'm like WTF?  I've never seen anything like that on here or Hornfans.

I'm not judging trans porn. I watch trans porn. I'm judging your use of an ugly slur that is thrown at trans people on the reg.

"tranny?"

Well there it is:

Quote

“Tranny” was originally a term used by transgender people to refer to themselves.

However, over time it started to be used differently - by people who did not consider themselves transgender, to refer to transgender people pejoratively.

As a result, it is now normally considered a slur and to be offensive, but some people who adopted the “tranny” identity in the past still use it. Others have also attempted to reappropriate the term by using it to describe themselves positively.

That's the one, I presume, though defer to those that know better.  I'll be honest, while I've known plenty of gay people, though I've never personally know someone that is trans, and I didn't know that "tranny" was considered a slur, I honestly thought it was just short of hand for transvestite, until it was pointed out here.  I feel bad because in the past I might have unintentionally offended someone in the real world (and obviously here, again apologies) by making that comment off-hand with no consideration that it would be taken as a slur.  After it was pointed out to me here, I've tried to completely leave the word behind.   

I don't think anyone that posts here is out to offend, be mean, or certainly use a slur, I think in this case there is an issue of ignorance on all our parts.  Personally, I accept people for who they are and want to be, and support them in exercising their liberty.  Sometimes I don't understand it, and sometimes I don't get all the language right with it.

Re: a deal for Trump. This is all fantasy but I'll play along:

Instead of pardons for the federal crimes, you offer a non-prosecution agreement based on DJT fulfilling a number of conditions. Admissions of guilt. Never running for any office again. But way beyond that. He has to publicly admit that almost everything he's said to the American people have been intentional lies. It would be an enumerated list, including the admission that Biden and dems didn't steal the 2020 election; rather he attempted to defraud the American people in a number of ways, including fake electors, march on the capitol, bogus lawsuits, etc. And, he has to out an enumerated list of GOP pols as liars who are only serving billionaires and big corporations, explain all the rhetoric from the GOP and Fox/right wing media about things like immigration are lies designed to dupe the public to vote for a party actively trying to shit on the average American. He has to expose how GOP's get bought by the mega rich, corporations, and malicious foreign enemies. The list could go on, but the gist is something that would finally annihilate the GOP.

He fails to fulfill any of that, you prosecute. 

So my wife and I watched the STOPPING THE STEAL documentary movie on HBO this evening. Even though there was nothing really new, it is still infuriating and I want to Trump get everything bad that's coming to that orange shit-stain. No deals, no pardons!

There were some deeper conversations with several of the people who were in charge of the election in Maricopa County in 2020, mostly the Republicans. They also spoke with Rusty Stowers, the then-Speaker of the House in Arizona. I'll give them credit -- they held the line under terrible pressure from Trump and his shit-head goof squad. There were interviews with Raffensperger and another then-Trump/GOP'er who was handling the daily press briefings -- his name and title escapes me. They did their jobs too.

My wife was wondering if she can convince her parents to watch STOPPING THE STEAL and see what they say. If they would, it might make a difference in how they vote. Might. But I doubt they'd last more than 10-15 mins before turning it off. They're pretty much lost at this point.

Same here. In fact, like that site I linked to said, it used to be a term transsexuals used for themselves. Though since I do know a couple of transgender people, I probably don't get to use the "I haven't paid attention to anything since 2000" excuse.

Just now, Nice Guy Eddie said:

If the Robinson story leak was really an attempt by some in the state GOP to get him to quit, they obviously waited too late to get the story out. Resigning  takes days if not a week. He wasn’t going to quit within hours.

He had a peep show to get to.
