President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

That the numbers are small is irrelevant. Schools should be able to handle it, but that hasn't always been done correctly. I understand the states' rights argument here, but to say it is relatively few kids is a terrible argument.

 

I agree.

 

Damn ...

As Dorothy Thompson demonstrated 75 years ago with National Socialism, gauging sympathy for Trump is less a matter of class or ideology (for Trump doesn’t really have one) than it is one of individual character. The best way to understand the Trump phenomenon isn’t by reading Hillbilly Elegy, the widely praised memoir about the Appalachian underclass, but through something more prosaic: personal integrity.

I must say, your stamina is incredible. In football, defenses at least get part of the game on the sideline. You have to play defense 24/7.

 

Be much easier if he just started his own site and forbid disagreements.

 

I'm not endorsing separate but equal. I've been saying that there is not a good valid reason to distinguish for transexuals. The only thing we're hearing is fear, which is not a good valid reason. Just like fear was often used as a reason why there was racial discrimination.

 

I hear they got an operation in Sweden for that ...

The whole speech to CPAC was just warmed-over campaign speech: Crooked media, build a wall, radical Islamic terrorism must end and yadda yadda yadda. No plans on how he's going to do it of course. Oh, and he's going to announce a new travel ban in a few days, and didn't he say a few days ago he was going to announce something in a few days?

CPAC eats this BS up, of course, but let's face it: The emperor has no clothes. He has no plans to do anything but kick the can forward.

 

Except if trans are forced to use unisex bathrooms, they're not necessarily using the ones they want, are they?

Women, many times, such as in a bar, frequently go to the bathroom with one or more of their female friends, both for social and safety reasons. What if a trans wants to go in the same bathroom with a few of their heterosexual female friends? You're telling them they can't, even though they feel they are women and just like their friends, and are living like them in every way except for the biological part.

There's so much fear that some guy is going to dress as a woman to go in and molest little girls. Ever stop to think how a little boy is going to feel in a bathroom and seeing a person dressed as a woman walking in as they're standing next to a urinal because that transsexual is being ordered to use that bathroom rather,than one that they fit in best?

 

So let me see if I've got this ... If I go to a concert at an outdoors pavilion, and somewhere on the grounds there's a row of non-gendered (single-person) porta-potties ... and that's the only bathroom option for anyone ... it doesn't matter whether I'm in San Francisco or Selma, I've stepped back into the Jim Crow era. Do I have that right?

 

Trump branding!

I'd buy one of those.

I'm going to check Trump's merch on his site, maybe I can snag one.

"Trump" on the old Soviet Union flag with the hammer, sickle and star would look cool.

 

Nope, because everyone is being treated the same. It's the only option for everyone.
