Much like abortion the sides are far apart on key foundational issues, and we have had that wedge issue for decades.

Oh, I agree with that, but probably not the way you're hoping.

Which "foundation" do you think the anti abortion pro death penalty people are building their argument on?

"Why does being transgender bother anyone?"

The same reason being gay in public bothers them.

They're bigots, they're haters, they are no different than Charlie Kirk when he said:

"If I see a Black pilot, I'm gonna be like, Boy, I hope he's qualified"

The baked-in assumption here is that Charlie Kirk never wants to see a black pilot. If it were up to him, black pilots wouldn't exist.

And so it is with gays existing.

And so it is with trans people existing.

And I dare any Republican to refute the narrative.

Any circumstance of risk to the mother should allow one.

If you really believe that, how in the world can you support Republicans?

Only explanation is you don't really care much one way or the other if pregnant mothers die. You have bigger concerns, like lowering taxes on the rich.

If what I said is accurate then what's the issue?

But you said it clearly false. A lie. Alternate Facts.

"Trumpy reminds me of a dog I once had"

Kristi Noem, is that you?

This is always going to cause an impasse in this topic.

The impasse is pretty easily done away with if you'd just read what the judge wrote, though:

"Transgender discrimination is, by its very nature, sex discrimination"

Womp womp.

Matt Drudge is going ham with this story.

I guess that explains why Republicans are ignoring it.

TRUMP: GAS PRICES 'NOT VERY HIGH'
OIL $100
EUROPE: 6 WEEKS LEFT OF JET FUEL
FLIGHT CANCELLATIONS LOOM
LUFTHANSA TO CUT CAPACITY
SPIRIT CRUSHED; RISKS IMMINENT COLLAPSE

How many times have I said mixing religion and politics is not a good idea?

Pretty obvious he was quoting what he wants to be actual Scripture.

JeffJ never runs out of excuses for fascists.

Other famous Bible quotes adapted for the moment include:

"Spread the other cheek."

Ronaldo finally getting his World Cup could be a temping offer to... checks notes... one of the poorest nations in Europe, which in a coincidence Republicans will need to change their shorts over, is also a Social Democracy.

The Russians don't want to fight. They certainly have a better life as Ukranian POWs than Russian conscripts.

I have no idea, but why can't the Sergeant At Arms do that?

I felt like I was a Real Boy when I did a contract gig installing some computers at Maria Cantwell's Seattle office and my IT contact on the customer end was the Sergeant At Arms of the United States Senate.

Whistle blowers have explicit legal protections.

Then again, so did the American Citizen detained by ICE and transported across state lines to be molested by DHS agents.

Judge Blocks Above-ground Construction at White House

Trump should build his ---- underground, and put it on a massive elevator that lifts it to ground level.

As both a grift with a Trump connected construction company, and a ---- You to the taxpayer at large.

"Democrats have always been racist"

We have always been at war with Iran!

I feel slightly less greasy holding Leonardo stock now!

Leonardo stock is up about 35% in a year.
You know what isn't up 35% in a year? My salary.

"Since 1996, dividends and capital gains have grown faster than wages or any other category of after-tax income."

That is the next sentence after the "Since 1975" quote I often cite. A quote that Trump has since removed when he removed the entire CIA World Factbook.

If I was gonna see a World Cup game, which feels like it could be bucket list worthy, I'd probably choose Mexico this go-round.

Perhaps the United States can win as Trump sends all other teams to the camps.

I'm white people. I don't feel like this has happened to me.

But you go on and be the Victim you are.

Isn't it amazing how life dealt you a winning hand, and you wake up every day a Victim of the weak libs and the even weaker blue hair lesbians?

Half conspiracy, half out in the open.

Newt Gingrich was pretty open about his plans to destroy American prosperity.

And Trump was completely transparent abouy his.

"It all traces back to billionaire-backed fearmongering in the 1960s"

They foamed the runway for this with the 1950s Gay Panic. Because of course they were the true predators.

The men who were raised on those values here are the ones CONSTANTLY talking about men's penises an women with penises.

How much money would it take to improve our prison systems to actually successfully rehabilitate people back into society?

Shouldn't focus just on prisons.
Schools. Housing. Jobs.
Prevention is always cheaper than treatment.

Not that we shouldn't do better in prisons, but intervening after they're in prison has a closing the barn doors after the horses have bolted feel to it.
