    Haha. The man makes jokes, but doesn't defend his position.

    But, hey your favorite magazine editor outed Kevin Spacey as gay in a cover article, and that didn't stop you from working for him, so why would you have a problem defending Caleb Hannan in the face of criticism from the trans community?

    It's getting to be like it was about 10 years ago. Before the split.

    By the way, I know this doesn't normally move the needle with you, but how old are these transgressions you're bringing up?

    LOL. The truth wasn't THAT important before.

    If his opinion hasn't changed, and he's part of the group painting Trump as an enemy of trans people, despite his own history, why should this not be brought up?

    Trans activists tried to reason with him. They gave him examples. Yet, he persisted.

    So, he's either dumb, or against the rights of people, the very things he's accused Trump of.

    What does wishing you were a member of the opposite sex have to do with being gay? Why are they politically aligned?

    If you pretend to be a different sex by the way you dress, taking hormones or surgery why would you expect me to go along with this pretense? How would you enforce this?

    The vast majority of women do not welcome men pretending to be woman in their bathrooms. What about their rights? Wouldn't having unisex single stall bathrooms accommodate these concerns?

    Drug policy shouldn't be a national thing, but the president should determine bathroom policy nationwide. Is that it?

    When did these two things flip?

    Should we abolish the FDA, and let states decide?

    Could be a good idea, right? Some states will approve new and/or experimental drugs faster than others.

    Because smoking a bowl is more dangerous than where you, uh, put things in a bowl.

    I'm just looking for consistency. I mean, I'm watching Bannon talking about states rights at CPAC and see states rights cited repeatedly by the administration on various topics. But, then they decide to usurp and overreach in recreational marijuana issue.
