OOTB's Political Thread . ..

Pretty funny. I have never been a registered Democrat. Am a registered republican (just not a psychotic cultist like you) probably more if a libertarian. I live in a fully restored, 150 year old 5000 sq/ft brownstone in a city (do the math in your head). My business generates roughly $1 million per year passively. So when I'm not traveling, I have a lot of time read about how do many ignorant poor folk can be taken so easily by such a low IQ buffoon, like trump. It's actually quite sad but here we are.

And none if this meant as a brag; just pointing out how idiotic your posts are..

Different reasons and different issues.

I think we're on the wrong track on a number of issues. I suspect you do too. But do we agree on those issues? And, maybe even more important, can we agree on how to address them?

Just to take one example that I care a lot about, Trump and the Rs want to drill more and roll back emission controls. Trump and Biden both want to make it hard for ordinary people to buy inexpensive Chinese electric vehicles. Those are terrible values, imo. To the extent possible, fossil energy deposits should stay in the ground and we should be aggressively switching to greener sources, greener businesses, greener homes, greener vehicles, etc.

Make green as convenient to me as fossil is. Make it cost the exact same. Make it look the same. Make it so I don’t even know it’s “green” and I’m on board.

Libs have to stop being afraid to answer questions like this.

I'm not in favor of making special provisions to pay for those sorts of treatments. BUT, I do approve of providing top notch medical care for all in our jurisdiction who need it. So if those treatments are covered by existing provisions, I have no problem with them.

Since I answered your question, maybe you'll answer one for me on this same topic.

Is this issue really important enough to be a big focus in a presidential election? Immigration, sure. Climate change, sure. Inflation, sure. Ukraine, sure. The expanding war in the Middle East, sure. But transgender surgeries for a tiny number of people? Seriously?

I just don't care. Why do you?

The conversations revolving around this would stop immediately if 100% of politicians would simply state:

“Gender dysphoria is a mental illness. We as a society have subscribed to the same rules of being man or woman since time began. Every civilization has agreed to these principles. We will not promote discussions around gender dysphoria. We do not hate these people and we do not wish them harm. However, instead of affirming their dysfunctional mental state and promoting measures that help change their bodies, we seek to help these folks with psychological treatment for them to become comfortable in their own bodies.

Say that and then we can move on to these “more important” discussions you are citing.

Where I differ is that I favor giving care to those who need care, based on need, not status. If they don't belong here, you can ship them out after they've received the care. They're people, regardless of their legal status.
I'm good with giving care to those who need it, even those here illegally, provided they are last in line and not jumping ahead of any legal resident for care. This is provided they pay for said care on their own, not on the taxpayer's dime.
As for whether trans surgeries should be supported with public funds, my answer is the same as for any other course of treatment: if it's justified, then yes. Just because I don't think an alcoholic deserves a liver transplant that a less complicit sick person could use doesn't mean I want to withhold payment for that service if the medical folks decide it should go forward. Same with trans surgeries.
I don't think public funds should be used for either the liver transplant or the trans surgery. Although medical care isn't the worst use for public funds that I can think of - if we halved the amount we shipped off to Ukraine, Israel, Iran, etc. we could likely fund a lot of life saving surgeries here at home.

“Mitch McConnell said after the 2020 election that then-President Donald Trump was ‘stupid as well as being ill-tempered,’ a ‘despicable human being’ and a ‘narcissist,’ according to excerpts from a new biography of the Senate Republican leader that will be released this month.”


But, that's what is so awesome about American politics. The so-called GOP leaders said all of that, and yet the party has nominated him three times for president. Trump could have been a democrat plant to show just how gullible, spineless, and hypocritical the high-rank Republicans CAN BE... to let them exhibit just how blatantly it can be done... and, the public eats it up and supports him unconditionally.

Lol at George Conway, he's a member of the same diet club Michael Moore belongs to.

The head shift... perfect.


Trump has been great for this country. He's helped to prove that there's no objective truth or reality when it comes to American politics. I don't even think he planned for it. He was just taught to attack and deny. But, it's been amazing to see it happen in real time.

The reaction of the normal people when they are forced to listen to this delusional old fool is great.

I thought this was the "the worst interview ever"? Lol.

Welcome back to reality as even people on Fox are acknowledging that she did well and that she has much bigger balls than whiney little bitch trump.

LMAO. This was pathetic. Be happy with having convinced us of you supporting Cackling Kamala so desperately that you posted this, because that's all it has convinced anyone of. As a matter of fact, the desperation you display in this lame attempt to vindicate has the opposite effect.

You obviously don't understand that everyone is not as dumb as you.
