The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever

I normally try to stay away from the transgenderism discussions as it's no where near the top of the list of what I find important when discussing politics. I am of the belief that there are only men and women. Typically this thought gets assigned as a Christian/conservative thought (and often in a negative light). Just found this article interesting because obviously Dawkins is neither of those things. People can share this thought across the spectrum, but people in some groups just might be hesitant to state that opinion out loud as much.

And, our balls are smaller? WTF? Didn't know that stat.

The bold part will be my final take on the issue for today.

Happy hump day everyone.

Every single long term study of teens with gender dysphoria have rates of 70- 91% grow out of it by adulthood. people who support children under 18 having sex changes, chemical castration, etc are just crazy imo

I have hopes for Ivan Bates as the new Baltimore State's Attorney

He has attended daily roll calls to hear directly from police and has a good working relationship with Commissioner Harrison.

He has reversed some of Mosby's stance such as not punishing lower level crimes and looking at it on a more case to case basis, but maintaining some of her policies like the police "do not call" list where he refuses to work with police on prosecutions that have known integrity issues.

I know nothing about this guy other than what you said - but it sounds good.

I keep saying it, no doubt there are aspects of criminal justice reform that need to be examined and improved - but not for violent offenders. Nobody wants to see violent offenders back on the streets so quickly.

They have found election fraud!

More than 300 signatures in a petition to recall Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. George Gascón last year belonged to dead people, according to the county's Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk's office.
According to the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk's office, a review of the petition found 367 signatures of people who had died before the recall effort was launched.

The findings were similar to a review of another petition, statewide Initiative 1935, in which county officials found 344 signatures of dead petitioners. The initiative was meant to limit local and state government from expanding, enacting or modifying taxes and fees.
The changes put Gascón not just at odds with many of his own prosecutors and local law enforcement officials, but made him a target of Republican and conservative figures on the national stage who suggested that progressive, or derisively dubbed "woke," prosecutors were to blame for increases in crime.

56% of liberal white women aged 18-29 have been diagnosed with a mental health condition.

Probably because trumptards revel in the hate and chaos.

Anyway what is the point of this? What 18 year old kid even knows anything about politics? Weren’t you a democrat at age 18? Maybe the hard right hides their childrens mental illness the same way they would if they were gay? It is a sign of weakness to them, unlike the decent parent that would seek help if their child were suffering with depression. There are so many things wrong with this study and the fact that you would post it as if being a liberal leads to mental illness. Jesus are these the things you latch onto in order to make yourself comfortable in your own head?

You are so obsessed with transgenders that im beginning to wonder if you have a battle going on in your own head about it? Either that or you were bullied by one. Something though.

When you take a step back, it's amazing the trivial bullshit we waste our time and energy on. Skin color, sexual orientation, religion, who someone wants to marry, etc.

Life is too short, live your life. Stop worrying about what everyone else is up to especially when it comes to things that have zero impact on your day to day life.


Preach Matty! Chico might get some yardwork done.

This story makes me fucking sick:

Marine veteran who survived three tours in Iraq, Afghanistan killed driving an Uber in California

https://www.foxnews.com/us/marine-vet-survived-3-tours-iraq-killed-driving-uber

The story in of itself is not political, but my thoughts about it likely are.

We need more prisons, not less. Probably won't get a lot of agreement with democrats here.

On the other front, I'm usually pro privatization, but I don't think it's a good thing for prisons. I don't want people to profit off of keeping people in jail who don't need to be there. Greed is a human condition and fucking with people's time on Earth is too risky to allow non-violent offenders to be there 1-day longer than absolutely warranted. But I'm in total support of using tax money to keep evil, violent, fucking scumbags in prison for absolutely no less than what is 100% warranted. For people like whoever did this, they belong in prison until they die.

Trump promises to end war in Ukraine in 24 hours

Do you think he can? As much as I think he is scum I don't think trump would take part in a BS war just to get re-elected . If he could end it now he would be re-elected overwhelmingly, so why wait?
