The WaPo editorial board on trans participation in women’s sports:

Calling the “debate inherently transphobic…is not how a healthy democracy makes decisions.”

“Trans people deserve to be treated with dignity, and the law should protect them from discrimination in areas such as employment and housing. But the realities of human biology raise legitimate questions about any notion that trans women should always and everywhere be treated exactly like c*sgender women.”

“The country will also need a frank and open debate about the trade-offs between inclusion on the one hand and safety and fairness on the other. And yet too often, efforts have been made to avoid or prevent discussion of those trade-offs by labeling debate inherently transphobic. This is not how a healthy democracy makes decisions.”

They also recognize that calling the debate transphobic isn’t working:

“A 2023 Gallup poll showed that almost 70 percent of Americans think sports participation should follow birth sex, not gender identity.”

Would have been cool to see this published by WaPo months ago. Or even a few weeks ago. It makes some good and obvious points. I wonder what the reaction would have been :roll:

The article is probably worth its own thread. I just feel like there's no way it would have been published during the US election.

Which was in response to the hard moral shift of the late 60s that saw the 70s become a decade of really bad shit happening to a lot of people, including a lot of middle teenaged girls and boys

Don't look the up history of this shit kids, not even if you think you're hard for watching drug cartels being the only retards on Earth to fuck up the operation of a chainsaw, while beheading people.
Just log it as "bad shit" and move on, you don't need to understand what soul pain feels like.

I'm way late on this but I do not exaggerate when I say this would be an act of global good, more so than any act by any philanthropist that has ever lived.

McDonalds is in 115 countries worldwide with over 40,000 locations, and as a corporate entity is obsessive about consistency. Their fries, that go with everything on the menu, would have to be the same everywhere, driving the demand for beef tallow up everywhere. Replacing seed oil with beef tallow is a healthier, tastier alternative for not just Americans but for citizens of nearly every country that exists. On a global scale, it means that all the beef tallow that is simply thrown out now for not having a use overnight becomes an economic keystone for those farmers, and that additional revenue stream is protection against economic downturn, worldwide. McDonalds is recession-proof moreso than any food establishment.

At home, we have farmers that are paid by the government to grow corn for high-fructose corn syrup. These men are shackled, and with their labor poison their own countrymen. Imagine if all those subsidies could go towards something useful, or even to remove the burden from the taxpayer in the first place. Imagine if we could free them to grow something that would make the people around them happy. Happy! There's nothing like a good, warm meal, and nothing worse than a soggy, tasteless potato string that in a civilized world couldn't even be called a "fry" (shut up England, I'm not talking to you!)

A rising tide lifts all boats, and we all gotta eat. God bless America and God bless Mickey D's.

*Monkey paw curls*
Baked Alaska's "We love our mickey D's" becomes the new jingle for McDonalds around the world turning him into a worldwide celebrity.

Has Trump chosen his press secretary yet? Does it have to be a single person or can it be a duo? Does it have to be a US citizen? If not then I have to say, Mr. President, the choice is obvious.

"What is the administrations statement on the recent death of Nancy Pelosi?"

"WOOAHHH BUDDY FELTED!"
"FAWK YEAH"

I'll fight you. California is the jewel of the Western Hemisphere.

Exterminate the wrongthinkers instead and make California red.

If California goes red in my lifetime I'll eat my words and have a nice vacation there.

I will also accept the NE/ME thing where they split EC votes to make Jefferson a thing without all the messy national flag redesigns.

You know I was thinking about this. Shouldn't leftist and socialists be happy that Trump won? Think about it, if he destroys an already dying economy then he'll accelerate the collapse. When that happens it'll show more people how horrible capitalism is and thus they can start a socialist revolution. Companies like BlackRock will be burnt to the ground because they are responsible for this. Kamala would just be putting a band aid on an already sinking ship and delude people into thinking that the economy can be saved still. Communism/Socialism will be seen as the only alternative that'll save america and thus liberals and leftists should be happy because then we'll be living in a socialist utopia soon after.
