POLITICAL THREAD

What? They are real.

Okay just in case you are being honest and not trolling (I think your trolling).

First if you're trying to be progressive, you failed automatically by using the word shemale. Even I know that word has been viewed as highly offensive for a long time.

The PC word you're either looking for is intersex or transgender. Intersex effects about .05% of people. Transgender are the ones that transition during their life. The changing your sex on your driver's license is talking about transgender people, not intersex

You can't even PC correctly bro.

National Institutes of Health does a good job of explaining it simply. Sex is based on biology, gender is a social/cultural concept.

That's how it was taught in college and the way I understand it.

This just makes the bathroom controversy even more ridiculous. Because I take on some traditional female roles (baking, sewing, etc) should I be able to enter a female locker room?

Of course not. It should be determined by biology not psychology

I love the Onion. They make fun of everyone, and that's a solid joke even if you love Trump.

Missed out on a really good tweet. They should've added Nathan Phillips and the Connecticut senator. All 3 together would've been funny.

Liberals are the ones who keep moving further and further to left at an astronomical pace yet claim conservatives are moving further to the right by simply standing still? That is liberal logic in a nutshell. That and batshit crazy

So, just did my taxes. They are not overly complicated so I do them myself. I used last year's software using the same exact info as I am using this year. Would have owed the IRS almost $5k more last year than I do this year. State taxes were about the same both years.

Thanks for doing that. My circumstances changed so much since last year that I can't begin to tell what the impact is & I'm not doing them a second time with 2017 software as ours are pretty complicated.

The federal government shouldn't be involved in marriage. Period.

I was/am opposed to gay marriage simply because the federal government needs to get out of that business, not expand it.

The loony toon lefties have already eliminated genders, and promote pedophilia, so I dont want to know what next frontier they'll be fighting on for marriage expansion.

I think doing away with marriage as a legal construct is the way to go.

And Da Nang Dick Blumenthal.

Both parties are leaving moderates behind these days. It's a shame. Nothing good is gained in the long run by being 100% left or right.

Just how are Conservatives moving away from the middle?

I don't know what's more hilarious. Boston's fake intelligence about science or the people trying to talk sense about science to an asst division 3 gym teacher

You can facepalm it all you want, but it's the reality and it is the science, despite how they take advantage of your naivete.

What these agenda driven ideologues have convinced you and them of and what they are actually doing in practice to these people is borderline criminal... thankfully, serious and good willed scientists are beginning to take note. Here's a direct quote from one such doctor of psychology "“The vast majority of people who have a biological sex also claim that they are psychologically … the same as that biological sex,” the psychologist continued. “So the idea that they are independent is completely insane.” "

I love how you leftists with no scientific background just automatically assume you know the science and it must agree with what they spoonfed you.

You don't konw what you think you know. And don't know what you don't know, don't know your blind spots.

I am surprised you don't remember that site. That's where Trump bitch slapped the left and you lost your "manhood" if you ever had it. He is paying respect to those real men who were taken with you pansies because they trusted you. Clown.

The best thing is though, he lives rent free in that little brain of yours.

False, and you can find research to that effect. It’s just that researchers risk career suicide to say so.

TRANSCRIPT <-Full transcript

Excerpts:

"This is the canary in the coalmine of the scientific crisis in general because it tells us that a surprising percentage of scientific studies, even ones published in top-tier academic journals that are often thought of as the gold standard for experimental research, cannot be reliably reproduced. This is a symptom of a larger crisis because reproducibility is considered to be a bedrock of the scientific process.


In a nutshell, an experiment is reproducible if independent researchers can run the same experiment and get the same results at a later date. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand why this is important. If an experiment is truly revealing some fundamental truth about the world then that experiment should yield the same results under the same conditions anywhere and at any time (all other things being equal)."

So, in short: Yes, there is a Replication Crisis in science. And yes, it is caused by a Crisis of Fraud. And yes, the fraud is motivated by a Crisis of Publication. And yes, those crises are further compounded by a Crisis of Peer Review.

Perhaps they laid wreaths at Bunker Hill, Gettysburg or Ground Zero.

-gender is a property of nouns...nothing to do with sex other than in a grammatical sense. A perfect example of changing the meaning of a word as espoused by materialist dialectic philosophy.

-fwiw i am a believer in a wide spectrum of sexuality. Trans people are real and should be treated with kindness(as should all people other than islamists/communists). That said the amount of public dialogue devoted to a tiny percentage of the population is a calculated move by the far left. Anything that can be seen as an assault on western values( christianity/capitalism/et al) is embraced for its effect rather than its virtue.

Boston reminds me of a guy who moved away from Kentucky and now feels he’s enlightened and has this resentment for the state.

Seriously, how is black face abortion governor still governor? It wasn't even respectful defensible black face, it was actual racist black face. It wasn't even late term abortion, it was literally infanticide. What the ****?

Wow.

Most revealing that none of the comments I've read on this page are about Cohen's testimony today. Yeah I know he is a liar but then so is Trump. It almost like that subject is being avoided. Very remindful of the times just before Nixon's resignation. Of course then there were still some conservatives that put the country ahead of their party. No evidence of that integrity here that I've seen.

Probably one of Trump's best moments happened today. Rocket boy was being asked questions he didn't like and told Trump he wanted the reporters to leave. Trump kept goading him with his stupid smile and saying it was a legitimate question. Kim finally gave in with his usual bullshit generic answer. It was interesting to see. Though I think it really pissed off Kim and that is why it's being reported now that the talks have ended early and all other planned events are now canceled. It's also the exact same kind of whining Trump likes to always do.

 

[Platinumdrgn]

Yup looks like another summit of zero substance. Trump and Kim have left and everything has been called off. Did anyone really expect anything from this? NK is never changing without a lot of bodies.

“No agreement was reached at this time, but their respective teams look forward to meeting in the future,” press secretary Sarah Sanders wrote in a statement.
