It's because it was from Davis. He interrupted her constantly, including times when she was about to tell him it was his turn to talk. He didn't interrupt Muir almost at all.

I'll leave the reason why he interrupted one and not the other as an exercise for the reader.

They're offended by being called out. Doesn't matter what it's about, it's just the being called out that's the problem.

I think it's ok for them to have stocks, they just should be put into a blind trust to manage, and they shouldn't be able to make any transactions outside of that for the duration of their term in office.

Or, you know, the lead that we put into the air for decades burning leaded gasoline...

Even though we've (mostly) stopped doing that, the effects are cumulative, and there are still plenty of people alive who were around when that was still a thing.

Small note for the summary: "probationary" in terms of government employees does not necessarily mean new, it means new in that role.

So, someone who has been working for the government for 20 years and was just promoted to a senior position is a probationary employee.

No, that's the point of a dog whistle. Those in the know understand, and they don't want outsiders to notice. One of the best ways to combat these people is to let everyone in on their "secret" codes, so we can see exactly who is putting their hat in with the Nazis.

The rationale for this actually makes some sense. You wouldn't want an incumbent to be able to remove an opponent by railroading them into a minor felony conviction. With the way Trump ran things, if all it took was a minor felony to make sure Biden was ineligible, he absolutely would have pressured the DOJ to find something.

Propaganda. People have been told their whole lives that socialism is pure evil, nevermind what socialism actually is. Public healthcare is socialism, therefore it's evil.

It's Zelensky, but they were confused because "Z" has become a symbol of the Russian forces invading Ukraine.

Yes! Anyone in the custody of the state should be treated with a minimum level of human decency, regardless of their crime.

It does fly in the face of the constitution, and multiple SCOTUS' have affirmed exactly that several times.

Are you really asking what Nazis have to do with killing? A group famous for committing possibly the most heinous genocide in the history of humanity?

We have pretty good evidence that this is due to historic under diagnosis, expanding the definition of Autism, and improved and increased testing parameters. In other words, the actual rate hasn't increased, we just detect it more often than we used to.

There is no trans woman in this case. A female boxer, born and raised as a woman, is being attacked and called a man. What OP is saying is that it's basically because they don't see her as attractive, and that's definitely a major component of it.

What it comes down to is that they're so obsessed with the idea of trans women that they start seeing them everywhere, and it usually comes down to someone not being quite feminine enough in some way, though there have been cases of people trying to claim some of the most conventionally attractive women in the world were secretly trans.

They want to be David vs Goliath. Being the ones persecuted means that they can go on the offensive without feeling bad about it. It means whatever they do is justified as being a means of survival. It gives them an excuse.
