Pedophilia is literally excusable for Republicans if it has that magical R next to the name (Roy Moore anyone?) But as soon as it's two consenting black people having a consensual affair, with no obvious reason to believe involves any conflict of interest, somehow that requires an investigation?

This is more racist misogynistic (double standards that powerful women can't enjoy sex) "rules for thee but not for me" BS.

They don't want trans people to exist as anything but a porn category, so they treat us as just that, a profanity. It'd be funny because of how pathetic it is, but real people are dying because of this.

And yet we persisted. There's nothing like having your existence legislated, debated, and lied about. This countries march towards facism has to be stopped at the polls, please vote.

I mean I get it, but Biden promised a one term deal for democrats. And it would be a hell of a comfort to see someone young enough to still have the mental flexibility to understand how new situations call for new solutions.

Fuck him for tanking any ability of Obama's to have a legislative majority. Fuck him for tanking the public option or anything better than Romney care and selling his soul to the health insurance industry. May his soul rest with who he sold us out to.

Just sad with the lack of support. Just tired of fighting for existence. Stochastic terrorists win again should not be in another headline I have to read again in my life. Hugs to all of you out there fighting through headlines like these.

It's not even originally in the Bible's earliest translations to prohibit gay sex, originally it just condemned pedophilic sex and attraction and it was changed to target gay people instead of the church's own clergy.

They died because they were trans. They died just for existing and because they were different and people are afraid of that difference. I don't care what the exact biological mechanism was that killed them. I care that they died as a result of a beating (or because of the emotional trauma of that beating). That should never happen in America for anyone be they black, a woman, or an innocent gender nonconforming child like this.

We are headed to a dark place in American history if we don't fight for trans people and every minority right now.

I hope it's more due to the fact that he had a stroke rather than he's doing it intentionally. Either way he has had a complete shift in personality and its disappointing to no end that he's not who he was when elected.

I'm not worried about Biden's age mostly because I think this comes from the racist fear that Kamala Harris isn't capable of running this country.

Own one and I keep trying to justify the upgrade but without ray tracing it can still crank out a lot of games on ultra. And quite realistically ray tracing quality in games hasn't justified the cost.

Any vote that does not prevent Trump from being president is a vote for a Trump/Putin collaborator.

"He openly admits the punchlines of a joke? No way."

Nice of you to admit that you think being trans is the punchline of a joke.

He turned right around and put many of the same bans in an executive order, and his veto was overturned. he's not in any way an ally. He was just trying to look more moderate than he is. https://www.acluohio.org/...

Other examples have been given, but bottom line she supports trans erasure just like the nazis. She finds herself in the company of nazis. She makes nazi arguments. It's the "walks like a duck, talks like a duck, acts like a duck" argument.

To think sustainability in agriculture is not about climate change is rather a narrow definition of climate change.

For those in the back, a right to free speech does not include the right to incite others to acts of terrorism.

This government official and his partner are being harassed because he supports the rights of trans individuals to make a private medical decision.

Describe a punchline then that's funny of his now?

(I haven't watched him since he occasionally got a laugh out of me when I would skip through the Chapelle show. But usually even back then, he was only funny because it was playing off racist tropes and the uncomfortability added to the humor. He threaded the needle a bit back then, but even he admitted his comedy did more harm than good. Right now he's doing way more harm to my people, just to grab cash because apparently his Chapelle show money wasn't enough)
