If they are trying to identify transgender girls because they don’t have menses, they are on the wrong track. Various physical ailments can cause stoppage of periods. With the normal variation of when girls start, some girls might not have periods when the dip wads think they should. What next? Official panty sniffing? Jfc, this is sick. 37 minutes ago, Tywin et al. said: Yeah, my first thought was that it sounded like an ineffective way to go about enforcing the new law while also being as invasive as possible. Parents should be way more freaked out by this invasion of privacy than the potential of trans girls playing with cis girls. And on that note, the intergoogles says there are next to no trans athletes in FL, so every girl is being forced to do this if they want to play sports despite it not being an issue, at all. Iirc the governor of Utah vetoed similar legislation because he was only aware of four trans athletes in the state. The primary incentive for such laws is discouraging girls from participating in group based athletic events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongRider Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 @Tywin et al. After reading your post it seems that the trans panic is being used to attempt to control and humiliate teenage girls. I hope their parents don’t stand for this harassment and cruelty and stomp this very bad idea into the ground. But Florida—who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems more likely, along with it being a test case to see just how far they can push it. The thing I always find confusing though is the number of women who are happy to go along with prepressing themselves. Also, @Gorn: I promise you >95% of Republicans agree with this, and setting the bar at 95% seems low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Anti-Targ Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 I wonder if accusing Oz of quackery is a negative or a positive for the Oz campaign. Given the apparent disdain that has built up since 2020 for big pharma and big med, accusations of being outside of the mainstream of medicine might be a point in Oz's favour, among those who are open to being convinced to vote for him. Its somewhat akin to Steve Bannon proclaiming that if the left wants to call him racist he welcomes it and wears it as a badge of honour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martell Spy Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 A GOP insider on the Republicans who knew Trump was dangerous — and went MAGA anyway A conversation with ex-GOP operative Tim Miller about how Trumpism swallowed the Republican Party whole. https://www.vox.com/2022/10/4/23386159/tim-miller-trump-maga-republicans-stefanik Quote It’s really depressing. The characters in the book, almost all of them, with one or two exceptions, in the second half about the Trump era, go along with it anyway. So the question is, why? This is gross in a different way, but you almost want it to be because they’ve really bought the bullshit about how we need to have a secure border to help wages. Or they just are so hard line on protecting fetuses or so hard line on whatever. And some of those people exist in real America. But in the DC class? None of ’em, and that includes the named people in the book. I also interviewed a bunch of people I didn’t name and nobody — nobody — got passionate talking about any policy issue. That’s all a feint, it’s all bullshit. The only time I would sense any emotion in their voice when they were explaining why they went along with Trump, besides the banal careerist reasons, was that they’ve really started to really not like you, Sean. I mean, not you, but, like, your people, right? The liberal media elites — they’ve developed a very deep well of hatred and resentment and jealousy of them.

The Anti-Targ Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 I imagine everyone came to that conclusion about fair weather Trumpists the day after Trump became President and every Republican critic of Trump suddenly became his #1 fan. They never drank the Kool Aid, but they sure as hell knew they needed to start serving it up and behave like they have guzzled more of it than anyone else.

Mindwalker Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Justice Clarence Thomas on Tuesday gave the Justice Department until Oct. 11 to respond to a petition filed by former President Donald Trump's lawyers for an emergency Supreme Court order restoring a special master's authority over classified documents seized from Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in August. The request escalates the dispute over the powers of the independent arbiter appointed to inspect the records, potentially making it easier for Trump to pursue his claim the documents shouldn't be used by the Justice Department to prepare a criminal case against him because they're subject to executive privilege, because he declassified them before leaving office and for other reasons. https://patch.com/district-columbia/washingtondc/justice-thomas-gives-doj-deadline-after-trump-asks-court-intervene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IheartIheartTesla Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 In other supreme court case news, here's the Onion: https://www.theguardian.com/law/2022/oct/04/the-onion-defends-right-to-parody-in-very-real-supreme-court-brief-supporting-local-satirist Quote The outlet is concerned about the outcome of a case it describes in a headline: “Ohio Police Officers Arrest, Prosecute Man Who Made Fun of Them on Facebook”. It sounds like an Onion headline, the filing points out, but it’s not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMC Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 On 10/4/2022 at 11:21 AM, IheartIheartTesla said: My theory is that the strengths/weaknesses of the candidates for Governor will push Fetterman and Walker over the finish line. Split ticket voting doesnt occur all that much (although in GA 1% can make a huge difference) and Kemp's strength will play a big part (along with whatever voting shenanigans they pull) I dunno 2020 saw a surprising amount of ticket splitting between the presidential and congressional races. I agree that Wisconsin looks more and more like a long shot, but Warnock has actually performed quite well in recent polls - much more so than the polling in August - and remember Georgia is not a state that overestimated Dem performance, even underestimated it in the 2020 runoffs.
