Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

What is the dual mandate you speak of?

 

The Federal Reserve's Dual Mandate - Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago

 

Go ahead. Defend this fucking pervert pig.
Not only shouldn't he be elected president, he shouldn't be allowed to run around loose in public among civilized people.

 

A certificate of deposit is an investment in the barest sense of the word. If you want to make an actual return, you have to take an actual risk.

 

I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you! I'm completely shocked that the NYT couldn't find these anecdotes while Trump could have been defeated for the GOP nomination but suddenly has been able to find them now that he's the presumptive nominee.

Quite possibly the least shocking news development of the year.

 

Defend him against what? Your imagination?

 

In addition to the liberal media, I would also note that the big money GOP donors -- Adelson, Koch brothers -- tanked when they had the chance to shape the nomination. Shame on all of them for conspiring to keep Ted Cruz from his rightful term in the Oval Office.

 

Policies do not have to be uniform from district to district. They have to be effective. And there are many ways to be effective.

You think parochial schools will adhere to this? Sure as shit not!

What's next? Mandated words you can use with gender confused teens? Exceptions for searching the lockers of gender confused teens for drugs because the locker is a safe space, and searching it may violate their gender privacy?

I'm not a wedding cake/wedding photographer guy. You want to make money, deal with what's presented to you.

But this is a slippery slope. Now we're messing with a basic scientific declaration to satisfy current culture's idea of what a gender confused teen imagines men and women are supposed to be like. I don't care how a person with a sexual organ wants to dress, act, talk, date, eat, etc. I'm not even opposed to unisex bathrooms, Though I wouldn't use them. But let these things evolve in local governments. Or not evolve. But give it time to adjust

 

Wait until Hillary takes office.
She'll outlaw urinals, just so everyone has to sit.

 

Sharia compliant!

Would have thought our first Muslim president would have been the one to do that.

 

No pissing into the wind, either. Better get that bail fund going.

 

Policies certainly don't need to be uniform, but when you've got District A implementing a policy that protects a discrete minority and District B implementing a policy that clearly discriminates against the same discrete minority, you have a serious problem. And that's what's happening all across the country as we've entered a point in society where some transgender students are, gasp, comfortable asserting themselves and districts are faced with the question for the first time.

I don't want to assume what "basic scientific declaration" you're presuming that "we're messing with," but if it's the idea that gender is binary you may need to brush up on biology 101. The idea that transgender teens are "gender confused teens" indicates to me that you don't have a strong grasp of who this very small, particularly vulnerable class of people are.

Since much of your understanding of sexuality - and perhaps gender identity - appears to be deeply informed by your understanding of Christian faith, Alma, I'd ask you to give this thoughtful essay from a Baptist minister a read:

Seven things I’m learning about transgender persons
