No I did not, and I have no idea how I missed it. Sorry about that.

That didn’t take long.

Edit: this was posted about above and I stupidly missed it.

I wonder if Ferris now has any regrets with how he voted in the last election.

Apparently the only other option in town is just as bad.

I would suggest finding someone outside of town.

Bad news: This counselor thinks that anxiety/social anxiety are entirely caused by not knowing Jesus enough.

yeah, that is not a good sign. I hope you can find someone better.

I plead guilty to that.

This is terrible for the country etc, but all I could think about in the last line was

They really need to impeach this bastard. I can’t take 4 years of this sh**.

The Presidency is in turmoil and meanwhile N. Korea is launching missiles. Just great.

Thank You to the Republicans and Democrats that voted against the various bills last night.

Fuck You to the Republicans that voted for the various bills last night.

huh? please explain.

I would love to know why the Dems aren’t filibustering this health bill.

Klinger’s plan would work now. 😉

Everyone has an opinion on this transgender/military issue, when I suspect that .01% of people actually know anything about it. I certainly don’t know anything about it. I’ve never known a transgender soldier. I don’t know how successful or unsuccessful they have been in the military compared to other enlistees. I don’t know how much they have cost the military compared to other soldiers. I don’t know how much they request medical care related to their status. I don’t know their rate of mental stability compared with other military personnel, etc. etc. Such numbers might reveal that it’s an issue, or they might reveal that it isn’t. So whereas everyone (including, I suspect, Trump) has formed and stated their final opinion with utter conviction, I prefer to wait until some informative data is made available. As it is, I think most people have made their decision already, along party or religious lines.

If there are sound logical military reasons(and not prejudice and bigotry) why Transgenders shouldn’t serve I will listen to them. But I am willing to bet that transgenders can aim and fire a rifle accurately.

It’s been the same for years. You don’t seem to see the unequal treatment of whites and non-whites in these situations, and I don’t know why it would be different this time.

Maybe it won’t be different, I don’t know. But I am going to try my best to make the next time different.

I regret the middle finger pic, and I hope for more fruitful discussion next time.

It’s just that there’s two wildly incompatible viewpoints. Eventually somebody is going to get angry and threaten to post the middle finger.

This is how it goes every time.

I wish to do my best to avoid that next time. Again, that is why I don’t want the have this discussion now. I need distance from our last blow up.

*sigh*

TV’s Frink said:

No need, it will just be the same as all the other times.

I hope not. That is why I am waiting.

In this latest incident, even without video and before any witnesses have come forward, Justine Damond’s death has already resulted in the firing of the Minneapolis police chief. There are calls for better training of police officers. When the Black Lives Matter movement has sought such responses in situations where blacks have been killed, they have often been castigated as too-racially-sensitive troublemakers.

To people who ask me why everything always comes down to race, I respond: Because it does. That has been this nation’s truth since American European colonies were established on this continent in the 17th century.

Look at what is happening with the opioid crisis. So long as black and brown people were the faces of addiction and drug-related crime, lawmakers were perfectly fine with the tough law-and-order approach. But now that white people in New England and in the Rust Belt are opioid victims, there is a sudden interest in public health solutions rather than punitive measures. To persuade reluctant senators to sign onto a stalled Trumpcare bill that would replace the Affordable Care Act, there was talk of making more money available to address the effects of opioid abuse. They could care less about addiction on Greenmount Avenue in Baltimore. It’s all about white addicts in “Red State” America.

I do not know the full story, but I find it difficult to believe they just fired the chief before having any evidence as to what occurred. I doubt they fired him before witnesses came forward.

I think you’ve missed the point, which is that the cases aren’t treated the same when it’s a black man vs. a white woman.

*sigh*

I’m serious.

I am not going to get into this with you right now. Perhaps at a later date.

transgender people show more courage when they leave their fucking houses in the morning than donald trump has shown his entire life

Is husezni secretly Mike Pence?

While I totally disagree with Pence’s last statement “women in the military bad idea”, I don’t think it wise to house them together during basic training.

I liked McCain’s speech, I did not like how he voted.

Does anyone wish to disagree with when I say that Capaldi was the “depressed doctor”?

That would’ve been a pretty funny reference had you not preemptively apologized for it.

Sorry.
