Speaker Johnson giving a press conference outside of Trumps trial today. America the land with a judiciary separate from politics is a thing of the past. Never mind the Supreme courts political actions of late. From Fox News “It’s a remarkable, if not unprecedented, moment in modern American politics to have the powerful House speaker, a constitutional officer, turn his political party against the U.S. system and rule of law by declaring a trial illegitimate” I’m not sure the US will ever regain its moral high ground after the Trump era ends. I don’t know if Trump broke the system, or simply exposed a broken system. Regardless, he appears to have done a great job of it. I never thought a first world country would have a diaper wearing lunatic as a serious contender for President.

If it's a whim? No. If it just might save their life, or solve a serious problem? Yes. When Hanne Gaby Odiele was 10, her parents took her for surgery to remove her testes - with her support. That officially transitioned her to female. She's now a supermodel. Genetically male, but phenotypically female. Cases like that are very rare. Countrywide there are fewer than 20 bottom surgeries on kids aged 13-17 a year, and most are like the above - dealing with someone who was born intersex, or repairing a serious Prader-scale problem. Puberty blockers are much more common, and allow the kid to wait until they are 18 to make the decision. 99.9% of the time they are a much better option.

Ahhh I forgot it was you Jakee.....keep moving the goal posts to get the last word in my friend. I know you'll have a hard time sleeping otherwise and I would not want to be responsible for a deterioration of your mental health.

When the foxes vote to allow themselves to kill chickens, the chickens still end up just as dead.

Yep. In fact there are about 80,000 cosmetic surgeries a year performed on kids aged 13-19. Top ones were breast augmentation, breast reduction, nose and ear reshaping and liposuction. Most irreversible. But one surgery to remove testes in a (phenotypical) woman and everyone loses their minds.

Coincidentally, Jon Stewart just did a decent bit about the amount of rampant profiteering that occurs throughout Congress which Congress themselves have ensured, through legislation and internal rules, is legally not corruption. Even though it sure as hell sounds like it.

Which is a good example from above. Aluminum casting is so new, people think it's molded plastic.

If an 18 year old wants to go to the bar and drink why should the government get involved? Apparently people mature very slowly in America compared to the rest of the world.

WordPerfect 5.1 hotkey master here. :)

Well, the opposite is true here. Trump, a billionaire and a well connected politican who elevates other politicians and the wealthy, is campaigning that he is for "the little guy." And perhaps that's just an indication of how dumb the average voter is that they would fall for that.

They always fit great when they're empty.

Hahah, My Grammy use to say if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all. She was the silent type.
