...which means what, exactly? Gay people are perhaps 3-4% of the population. Trans something like 0.1%. Given that, how much of the classroom and the curriculum need be devoted to them? Young kids in early elementary school, like the ones mentioned in the law, should focus on the basics. No need to get into socially conscious or political themes at that age.

It is a proposal. It will fail. If by some chance it gets past the state legislature then it will fail in appeal at the Supreme Court level. This is a non starter as an issue. BTW I think he did answer your question about the girl. He answered it the same way I would- "yes she should". Also give her father 10 minutes alone in a room with the rapist and a ball peen hammer.

It is strange, I actually HEARD Governor DeSantis say "gay". On more than one occasion. I even saw him (gasp) converse with an openly gay man. Who has a gay husband. And (horrors) is about to be the father of two babies! Even worse, the governor actually gave gifts to the gays. How dare he flout his own law! So let's leave the hyperbole out of it. Nothing wrong with family photos in the classroom. Anything political, leave it at home. No rainbow flags, no Blue Lives Matter flags.... nothing

...which is fine in normal conversation, but not acceptable in a hearing like this. This testimony was obviously prepared in advance, Cassidy had time to get her thoughts together and still couldnt remember what was said. That says something. Especially when no form of cross examination or questioning was allowed.

You may be right. THis may be "the bombshell". Perhaps "the walls are closing in". Is it "the beginning of the end" for the Bad Orange Man? Forgive me for being skeptical but we have been hearing that kind of hyperbole for years now. Can't blame the Democrats for trying, especially considering how deeply unpopular the current occupant of the White House is. They have nothing to run on in the fall, no accomplishments to speak of, so the best they can hope for is to drag the corpse of the 2020 campaign back out and keep beating on it.

It is a pity that young Ms. Hutchinson can't actually remember what was actually said. Her testimony was riddled with "he said something to the effect of...." or that she overheard "something to the effect of...". IF there were any genuine cross examination of her testimony she would be torn apart in short order. Her memory of fairly recent and major events is rather vague and spotty. She was "in the vicinity of conversations" that she never took part in. She offers indirect, overhear paraphrases, not direct eyewitness testimony. Not to mention that the whole incident, Trump muscling his protective detail and trying to choke one of them, is comical. This is the same guy the Democrats said needed two hands to hold a glass of water. Now he can drive with one hand while fending off a trained federal agent with the other? It defies credibility.

So why not just answer and make Senator Blackburn look stupid? It was an easy lay-up. Yet she balked. And it is also VERY relevant to SCOTUS. Many decisions by the Court are based on gender and gender rights. If she cannot even define what a gender is, then how can she rule on issues relating to it?

More to the point, does the Justice think that she herself is a woman? And if so, what does that mean? It was just an exercise to show how stupidly Woke people feel they have to behave in certain situations and when answering certain questions. Justice Jackson is not a stupid person. She knows very well what a woman is, and that she is one. But she also knew that there was a potential political price to be paid by answering the question, so she dodged. It was a touch cowardly, but not unexpected.

But...so what? No native American has ever been nominated either. Nor has a Cuban American, male or female. Nor an Asian American, male or female. Black people have ascended the ladders of power in the USA, from President to cabinet to the military. This was no groundbreaking, daring act. It was just political pandering at its most crass.

I would venture to say that an expat without 75k in cash should have never left home in the first place, unless they were on a VERY generous pension. But you are right, it would work for some. As would the nomadic life. Not sure what you are looking for- the mythical $400 a month apartment in an area well served by public transport, yet not crime ridden or infested?
