Another go-nowhere lawsuit. A right-wing specialty nowadays.

If there's one thing polls show repeatedly, it's that there's broad support for raising taxes on the rich. Even from Republicans. It's a testimony to how powerful the rich are that they are mostly very successful in fighting tax rises. Of course it helped that the right wing Supreme Court green lit unlimited contributions. So the more money the have, the more they can contribute to get politicians elected. A vicious circle. The Republicans modus operandi for thwarting tax rises is to use trivial but highly emotional issues like transgenderism to distract their attention from issues that are actually important to their welfare while delivering the goods to their wealthy patrons.

I think his M.O. is focus on the small picture.

Great. The US can have another Iraq war right on its border. Except in this case it would be easy to put an end to. The narcotraficantess aren't fanatics. They're just greedy violent criminals. If you want to kill the drug trade and impoverish the narcotraficantes, just decriminalize drugs. Take the profit out of it.

We have seen numerous videos of violent crowds storming the Capitol and the police defending it. I'm sure there are many more thousands of hours also of nothing violent happening. So what?

Poor record of getting things done? He had a huge record of major accomplishments in the first 2 years. You may not approve of them, but that's not relevant to the question of getting things done.

And I noted that because it's clear yours is an opinion that has nothing to do with any kind of systematic evaluation of the situation or any familiarity with the actual science. Your opinion seems to be based entirely on belief.

In none of these studies had the trans participants undergone hormone therapy. This parameter was established so as to preclude any effects on the structure of the brain. In this one they started with a normalizing process that was 305 women and 242 men. A normalizing process is one in which norms are established. In this case the norm for cisgender men and cisgender women. Once that was established 24 cisgender men 24 cisgender women and 24 transgender women had their brains scanned. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8955456/ this one used 40 transgender adolescents and 39 cisgender adolescents https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0306453017305590?via%3Dihub This one had 29 trans men and 17 trans women https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/hbm.25905

And you have proof of its rarity? Although the fact that you used "may" indicates that you've got nothing. Whereas scienitist who actually imaged the brains of people who said they were transgender, found significant discrepancies between their biological sex and the gender they felt they really belonged to.

In other words you haven't a clue.

The invocation of Marxism is a strictly Pavlovian conditioned reflex amongst right wingers. It has no connection to the higher centers of thought. Which is why there's no explanation forthcoming.

So you were replying to johnnyinbangkok's post by replying to my post? Really?

From the World Forum landing page: " Any alleged factual claims must be supported by a valid link to an approved credible source." On the off chance that you don't have a link to a credible source to back up your claim, maybe you should consider posting to the Fiction Forum.

Thank you for your opinion and may the science be damned! Transgender brains are more like their desired gender from an early age https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/05/180524112351.htm

Actually most Americans believed that. Like the Vietnam war, the main exception at first was a few lefties. At Fox, they all stuck American flag pins onto their lapels.

And Trump clearly has no consciousness that he has done anything wrong. That's why he lied about his activities on the day of the riot. He claimed that he was in meeting and didn't follow it on TV. Multiple Republican eyewitnesses said otherwise. Bunch of <deleted>' RINOs if you ask me.

It looks like at least one weaponization committee is falling on its sword. Jim Jordan's Credibility Questioned Over Whistleblowers' Testimony https://www.newsweek.com/jim-jordan-fbi-whistleblowers-weaponization-committee-1785259

Whether or not they believe the lawyers case is a deflection is utterly irrelevant to the fact your latest response is another attempt at deflection.

I did get it wrong that you claimed 18 years. I believe it was only 12. That said your contention that has served 18 years more than the total of sentence is false. All this other stuff about the merits of his case is a deflection.

People blame what agenda all on men? This is just more dishonest B.S.

Try not to drag out tired old cliched tropes. And you just can't help revealing your true stance on womens' issues. What does this topic have to do with how a female politician looks except insofar as how it's used against women. So I guess it's instructive in a way to watch prejudice in action.

Another case of white male self-pity.

Can you offer some examples of recent Marxist legislation in the USA? Exactly how is green legislation Marxist? Is climatology part of the Marxist agenda? I know that Stephen Colbert once playing that reality has a literal bias. Apparently, now it has a Marxist one?

And this opinion from a columnist at the website of arch-conservative The National Review: Who Won the ‘Obamacare Wars’? So, yes, Obamacare was a key part of the GOP midterm landslides in 2010 and 2014, but it didn’t sink Obama’s reelection bid, and Republicans couldn’t repeal it when they had the chance. And now even Republican legislatures are acquiescing to the expansion of Medicaid. I think the Democrats got the better end of the deal. https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/who-won-the-obamacare-wars/

Not much of a political platform to run on.
