President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

But, but... who will Republicans have to complain about?

Cuba's Raul Castro steps down as head of its Communist Party

 

What is the play here? I mean, why vote against this? Being assholes just to prove they can be assholes? News tip, girls: We already knew you were assholes.

 

He’s making way for AOC. Duh.

 

Performance art.

Show their supporters they are fighting for them! Fuck the libs!

These people could care less about governing.

 

I didn’t figure a bone marrow registry was just a Democratic priority.

 

Now you know!

 

This is it exactly. And if I've read the intent of the bill correctly, and it's actually a short bill only five pages, if someone has been challenged they will not be allowed back on the field until the issue is resolved because all the legal protection goes to the people who think they're playing against the transgender athlete. The abuses of this bill are obvious, just on top of the general hatred that it foments toward transgender.

 

At a very basic level, they didn’t understand what the program is and what it does.

That’s the best I can come up with.

 

Which, given what we know about them, would not surprise me one bit.

 

Given their whackadooism, I wouldn't be shocked if they were against it because they think a DNA registry is a way for Big Brother to track you.

 

I know no one's going to do this to male athletes. The TBT quote says as much. You're smart enough to know what Dan was wrong about - teachers "violating all of your daughters" - so I won't belabor it.

I don't. I think that's a fever dream, super-slippery slope kind of take. But...in theory, a despicable coach could do that under the bill.

At any rate, the bill is hurtful and truly unnecessary. I posted what I posted because a bill can be hurtful and unnecessary while not being a violation of "all of your daughters."
