Excellent thread. Thank you.

Or “two weeks” was more misdirection. Ya think?

Again your math sucks. Latest polling from Harvard. You like Harvard. https://www.morningstar.com/news/pr-newswire/20250616ny10989/june-harvard-caps-harris-poll-trump-approval-strongest-on-immigration-and-56-of-voters-support-bringing-in-the-national-guard-to-stave-off-riots

This is the sober, rational, quality analysis we have come to expect from you. Thank you for making us all think. sigh/yikes

I’ve acknowledged it wasn’t helpful in answer to your original question. It’s the trotting out of the Nazi routine in any way, shape, or form that I find absurd. Lefties here have been seeing nazis around every corner for years. It’s tiresome.

That’s like me saying the “small minority of extreme leftists that will be very pleased with the murder of ICE agents” because the pinheaded Roundybout espouses such. There’s no “small minority” of right-leaning people waving Nazi flags. A handful of dbags does not equate to anything approaching a “small minority”. It’s a dumb thing to say.

It’s not an excuse. It’s just what he is. No one is surprised by it. The bit about waving Nazi flags is garbage. Give us all a break with that nonsense.

No, not helpful. I also don’t believe he is a racist. That’s such an easy word for people, mostly liberals, to throw around. The pinheaded Roundybout believes that a full 50% of the people he encounters on a daily basis are racists. What I believe Trump is, is a provocateur with no self control. If there’s a pot to stir, he’s the first one on it. I will leave the accusations of racism to those that are so comfortable making them.

You spend most of your time here clutching your pearls over one thing or another. NOTHING you have foretold has come into being. When I see you railing on about the latest maga outrage I get a warm fuzzy.

Incorrect, kid. It’s on the people that tell confused youngsters their problems can be solved by chopping their bodies up. It’s this sort of thinking that has people like you and your political party becoming more irrelevant every day.

The question you won’t answer is why you are a proponent of subjecting children around the age of 12 to procedures that have such horrific outcomes associated with them. Bizarre and disturbing. They’re not monsters. They need psychiatric help and steady adults in their lives. You throw out such a ridiculous strawman because your position is indefensible. Childish.

How many of these articles have been written in the Trump era? Meanwhile 1M+ people gathered across the country last weekend worried about a “king”. See you at the ballot box in 2026. Good lord.

Why do you advocate for subjecting mentally compromised young people to procedures that result in, to quote you, “increased social stigma and isolation after the surgery”? Particularly when it leads to a 12 fold increase in suicidal tendencies? I advocate for getting these young people the mental help they need and then letting them make a life-altering decision as an adult. What age is too young for these procedures in your mind?

Before 18? Have you, in these pages, ever supported an age limit? I do not believe you have. Meanwhile, you have attempted to turn an incredibly brief passage from an NIH paper that talks about stigma and psychiatric care for trans identifying people into it being the central issue. The paper is about an unacceptable increase in suicidal tendencies for people that have undergone these surgeries. You can’t be more disingenuous. Why you are fine with promoting these procedures that have such horrible outcomes is anyone’s guess. Maybe it’s just your twisted ideology that you regularly put on display.

“Hey kid, I know you are struggling but instead of just getting you the psychiatric support you need, you should chop your body up and permanently sterilize yourself first and then get the psychiatric care you need. The data suggests a suicide attempt is 12x more likely if you take that route but I think it’s overblown. Let’s get you under the knife. Another option could be to make the decision when you are an adult but where’s the virtue signaling in that?” -roundy

You said trump.

You’ve always been very, very bad at math. A 5 digit number is just a wee bit off 26M don’t you think? https://www.brookings.edu/articles/americans-continue-to-protest-for-racial-justice-60-years-after-the-march-on-washington/ superspreaders!!

If only people followed the science and did their part by staying six feet apart! It didn’t get any more science-y than 6’. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻🤦🏻‍♀️

Another W for our betters in Washington. We just need to keep trusting them.

I’m aware. The paper I linked to has many other papers referenced. That’s generally how it goes. Obviously the authors felt the need to show another side to the story. Are you impressed with the study of FIFTEEN subjects? As it is remarkably small, I am not. You advocate for an abomination that hurts young people gravely. Someday you will probably ask yourself why. Hopefully.

What you quote comes from a study of FIFTEEN people. Now that’s significant! There’s no gotcha involved. The data, not feelings, reveals outcomes associated with these surgeries on young people are horrific. The paper spells them out. Thankfully people like you that see them as appropriate and even moral, are dwindling by the day. Soon your thinking will be anachronistic.

Do you know what makes “transgender” kids consider offing themselves by a factor of 12-13x? Surgeries that permanently change their bodies. Surgeries that sick bastards like you advocate for. Hopefully a regular suicide hotline is adequate for these young people suffering from mental illness. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11063965/ Individuals who underwent gender-affirming surgery had a 12.12-fold higher suicide attempt risk than those who did not Any issues you have with this published data should be directed to the NIH.

You help your preferred political party appear more reasoned and sane with a take like this. Kudos to you.

Where do you think the Democratic Party went wrong? What do they need to get in order?

Here’s how one “fiercely independent” person that declared Biden mentally fit for the job AFTER the debate sees it:
