Nevermind that the only hormones prepubescent trans kids get are puberty blockers, which spares those kids the torture that is the wrong puberty for them

Shit, the right puberty was enough of a bitch for me.

Better golfing then napping. All the meanwhile doing exactly what he said he would do. Clear up the gender fiasco, begin to secure the southern border, expose government misappropriation of funds. Not saying I agree with any one thing more than the other but he’s done what his voters elected him for.

You voted for him. Just admit that you are gullible human scum - and then make your bad points.

Cool. So who should decide what treatment if any someone with Gender dysphoria should receive? You are really telling us that we shouldn’t trust the government but we should allow them to dictate personal medical decisions?

I think he did fine, not super in depth to it admittedly. Real estate was shit. Interest rates were shit. Inflation was high. Some inherited. 

Didn’t you just say the president doesn’t have impact on that?

so acknowledging that misinformation is a problem and that the solution is to win elections is taking your personal right away how?

i gave @Texasborn91 one posrep bc even though he clearly fell for the fear-mongering and bullshit lies spewed by Trump and doesn't have a clue when it comes to trans issues, there are slight glimpses of more reality-based thought and he's stuck around for actual discussion as opposed to running off like a little bitch-baby whining about the meany cabal. yay?

So, this is a free link to a 9-minute video of a German satirist talking about Nazism and the rise of the AfD in Germany. I feel like the obvious links to Trump's fascist regime warrant it being included in the discussion. Give it a watch when you've got a free 10 minutes. It's worth it.

It’s worse than that. The Trump team has elevated radicals who are actively trying to permanently destroy the federal government into cabinet positions. These aren’t Karens angry about COVID safety measures- they are think tankers and Ayn Rand acolytes who were pulled from the fringes and given an opportunity to fuck up all regulatory oversight in every industry. And they’re doing without a single vote from Congress or any new laws actually signed

Wow 1300 Kids across this entire country opted to use puberty blockers in 2021.  

And here I thought kids were lining up for  surgery as commonly as cars at Jiffy Lube.

Also note that that data was gathered from insurance statistics.

Does anyone think that insurance pays out on claims for treatment that's not medically necessary?  Or, stated differently, if they could reject those claims because elective or not medically necessary that they would not?

And, that's relative to ~72 million Americans under age 18.  And an even tinier fraction of that is ever going to attempt to participate in a sport that doesn't match their birth certificate.

Is this "gender fiasco" really something that should be driving national politics?  Really?  I mean like, for real?

Since it does, ask yourself why?

Just wanted to toss out there a PERFECT encapsulation of Trumpism/MAGA.

- There is a relatively prominent attorney.

- He is super-Republican: pictures all over his social media with lots of GQP heavy-hitters.

- The bulk of posts on his social media are images of various bible quotes, so he's obviously SUPER-"Christian."

So, we've checked the key boxes -- GQP, very outwardly and show-y "Christian."

 

He just got a "show cause" order from a Federal Court.  That order tells him to show up in court, and give the court a reason not to cut his dingus clean off, because.....in response to a motion to dismiss one of his lawsuits as frivolous, he said (paraphrasing) oh yeah?  Well, I have an EXPERT who examined my case and says it has meritorious facts.  Here's an affidavit from him saying so!  Problem: the affidavit was signed, and states as much, on a certain date.  The expert?  Well...he's been DEAD....for a year before that date....and the lawyer knew it.  There is, literally, no way the expert signed that affidavit.

So, this is how GQP MAGA Christian world operates -- just shamelessly lie and commit fraud on the court.

The pathological dishonesty is a FEATURE, not a bug.

The NCAA stated less than 10 of 530,000 in college sports, 0.00188679245% .

We as citizens can agree or disagree with that number, we don't need the government deciding it for us. Sports in not that serious, for one.

We certainly don't need the government to run on that as issue. We don't need them using it to try and start a civil war. We do not need the government to push the unethical treatment of American citizens and setting them at increased risk of hate crimes with innuendo. 

One has to remember, you may not be targeted now. But, if you allow it now, you might be next. Republicans continue to operate under the conceited assumption the shoe will never be on the other foot.

Quote

James Madison wrote in Federalist Paper No. 45:

"The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite."

 

Thomas Jefferson, in his 1801 inaugural address, he expressed:

A wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement...

In a letter to Gideon Granger in 1800, Jefferson also warned: "Our country is too large to have all its affairs directed by a single government."

 

Patrick Henry, cautioned during the Virginia Ratifying Convention in 1788:

"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government—lest it come to dominate our lives and interests."

What does voting or driving have to do with personal healthcare choices?

What other medicines and treatments should we ban for people under 18?

Since we are banning certain treatments for whatever reasons, shouldn’t we also be able to mandate certain treatments?
