posted by CenterBHSFanI just read through that whole article.
I'm wondering why the writer didn't quote the particular lines of the bill that specifically says that "all it will take is for somebody to be accused of being transgender and that person will immediately have to strip their clothes off so somebody can look at the dick or vag".
I also would like to know why a simple copy of a birth certificate can't be used.
One last thing. Certain words and phrases used by the writer are clearly ideological and not factual. For example, "CIS". I don't think the article can be taken seriously when such wording is used that is not a direct quote from a lawmaker or part of the bill's language.
Agreed. “Cis” isn’t a real thing.

I’m not very smart when it comes to economics, so be nice…
How did the present housing crisis happen? I tend to look at the supply/demand graph. Those two, pre Covid, were balance in a certain way that the market was where it was. Now it’s like the demand has way outstripped supply. I get that the cost of borrowing has changed. But from a simple supply/demand perspective, why is it now like there’s not nearly enough housing for the demand?
posted by iclfan2Will anything actually come of supposedly declassifying JFK, RFK, and MLK jr? Or a big redacted nothing burger?
I’m guessing nothing will come.
I don’t know much about the RFK case. But I absolutely believe JFK was killed by a single nut job who perfectly fits the profile of someone who’d do this (Oswald). I think it’s human nature to want to believe one person could cause so much havoc

posted by BR1986FBTrump's kid (Barron) went out of his way to approach Biden & Harris at the inauguration to shake their hands. Pretty classy gesture considering his father was supposedly the devil in their eyes.
Good for him. That kid's in a tough spot in life - trying to go about his days as a college kid when your dad's the POTUS and polarizing. Seems like a nice enough young man.
The Russians sent this by way of Siberia. Screw them.

Great first half. Took a huge punch out of the gate and came back fighting.
posted by ptown_trojans_1No, your whole trans racial thing is stupid lol.
It's not real life.
People are not solely one thing,they are a whole mix of things. I'm sure you are not just one race or identity. You , like me, are a mix of different cultures and races.
I completely disagree with your entire rational and as I said, it's a stupid line of thinking.
It's real life. The dems decided to go all in on a topic that affects probably less than 1% of the population and probably has a lot to do with mental illness. They pushed it onto everyone and made people who legitimately disagree with it feel like they were hateful or bigotted. They were the ones who made it a major issue. People rejected it (and her) not because it is a main subject for them, but because it represents a forcing of values on people when those values are absolutely repugnant to millions of citizens.
posted by gutOK, the swearing in of the POTUS is important, I guess (certainly questionable after the last 3-4 people to occupy the office).
But the rest of this inauguration ceremony is just useless and wasteful pomp.
We should not have the equivalent of a coronation for a public servant.
I think people like it. It's not really about the person being sworn in, but for the feeling of patriotism of another peaceful transfer of power.
posted by iclfan2Biden’s handlers pardoning Fauci this morning, as well as members of the January 6 committee. Hope this makes Trump’s administration investigate them even more.
Biden is the worst president of my lifetime. He has handlers - no doubt. But he knows what he's doing here. He is a failed, failed leader.

Don't read any of her nonsense. She's a hysterical attention seeker - nothing more. She's not nuts...she just wants attention.

posted by gutAt some point we need to start re-thinking about the futility and wisdom of continually rebuilding in disaster zones.
I agree with this. If someone’s willing to pay for it - have at it. But asking other citizens to pay for it through government relief or insurance premiums needs to be revisited.

I don’t see the U as a long term major NIL player. There is some flashy money associated with it, but unless a Natty happens in the next couple of years, I think they will fall back to a very mediocre program.

I was reading something a year or two ago that there was a neighborhood built in the greater Phoenix area that was built on land that doesn't sit in any jurisdiction. It required them to actually truck in drinking water because there was no water source available in the areas where the homes were built.
Very much a first world problem.
Isn’t that the universe’s way of saying “don’t fucking live here -you’re not designed for it”?
I think there are more people living in areas that aren’t meant to have that level of development. Mother Nature makes it very clear to not live:
- on a flood plain
-on a hurricane prone beach
-next to a volcano
- in the middle of a desert
-in an area that replenishes itself with wildfires
Etc.
I know my home (Cleveland) ain’t sexy. But there’s ample water and no major disaster risk nearby. These “boom” cities in the sunbelt make no sense as they are not sustainable.

posted by CenterBHSFanYeah, some of it is just raw dogging his words. But I can also sense some of it is just Biden being sick of everyone's shit and being aware that it doesn't matter. Whatever amount of him that's aware recognizes that he has a freedom cloak to say what he thinks and how he feels. That arrogance is classic Biden and not old/demented Biden.
You’re right - some of both. Bitter old man.

Good to hear. That’ll leave some scars - not just physical.
posted by CenterBHSFanPeople in Twitter pretending to be all upset at Biden for saying this, but I find it pretty funny lol
I think it represents the agitation that naturally accompanies his level of dementia. Very common symptom.
