Nah. Just a guy who voted for Trump who, didn’t spend a grand on bumper stickers. 😉

1K/Bumper stickers? Don't drink and post.

Around here, prius's and subaru's have the entire back end covered in coexist, obama, harris stickers.

And P.U. truck tailgates are covered in Trump  maga, and even old bush/cheney stickers.

(Sometimes you figure that's the only thing holding them together)

 

Somebody's making money off of these fools.

Ok fine. But should it decide who you vote for?  Is it the biggest issue in your life? Or does it just make you uncomfortable?

If it has a major impact on you or someone you know, then maybe so.

Pawns in the game. 

1% of 1% of the worlds richest people are definitely the biggest problem and hinderance towards a free society for the rest of the 99.9% of the world’s population. So there’s that… It does matter. Its optics and it sets a precedent. 

However I do agree with you that it’s completely blown out of proportion and its really just used as a selling point to keep people from coming together. The whole system is absurd and completely irrational. Only the .01% could rationalize and benefit from this nonsense 

But even that is a bad argument and i dont ultimately agree with my own self. The fact is is that social issues like trans crap is merely a symptom of the bigger problem which is the way our society is structured. Without the government giving away free hormone replacement treatments and sex changes (thanks to our tax dollars), this problem doesn’t exist. It’s a social engineering tactic used by our government. 

Also even if we removed the .01% of the richest people in the world from the face of the earth, it matters not. It’s the system, and the way we have allowed or society to be organized that allows individuals to gain such wealth in the first place that is the problem. This system works for them! It does not work for us!

I understand your post had nothing to do with the rich. I was simply making a comparison that 1% of 1% does make a difference no matter what it is applied to. 

You were talking about how trans people in women’s sports is only like 1% of 1% and is blown way out of proportion by the media. Which I agree with. 

I was making the comparison to say that although it is such small numbers of individuals, and that it hardly affects anyone directly. And that the media blows it way out of proportion. It does set a precedent, and a bad one I believe. 

Sorry you did not comprehend my post. Maybe I did not articulate my thoughts well enough.

I’m not sure why they’re even trying to look like a woman, which they don’t. It’s hard dealing with the decision makers in this, because they’re crazy. How do you deal with a person that’s crazy?

Did a food tour in Mexico yesterday and passed through a small tortilla factory. According to them they’re (Mexican gov) no longer buying yellow corn from the US as of very recent due to the current situation and have decided to go all in on locally grown white corn

It's being reported that there are over 200 trans athletes in women's fencing.

Now, I don't know how many total women are in the catagory, but I'd bet that 200 is more than .01%.

Notice “no response” from the crowd that wants to tell us there’s nothing to it.

Here’s what there is to it: Dudes taking away NATIONAL TITLES from Women who’ve dedicated their entire lives to the pursuit of the top step in their sport…even Olympic opportunities.

Then there’s the simple fact that these men, most all of whom SUCKED when they competed as such…well…THEY ARE NOT WOMEN.

But, I digress.

I'd guess that's probably closer to 50%.

I mean how many people can possibly be participating in fencing? 🤣

I would venture a guess that’s the ENTIRE reason men get involved in women’s sports because they suck balls at men’s sports, no pun intended. 

Disgraceful.

And there’s people that go out of their way to defend this insanity.

A separate category for -both- trans-situations is required if you truly want to keep things fair and legitimate.

I heard Trump again worked his incredible, the best ever really, negotiating skills to get an American appointed as Pope today. He will be the best Pope ever, I have no doubt about that.

As a result president Trump is now lifting all trade tariffs on Vatican City.

Communion Wafer stocks were up 5% mid day.
