US republicans have essentially became below average trolls these days. The Ohio republican Senate battle is essentially people just trying to prove who can be the most deplorable. Some 4 Chan poster could come in there and run the show if they had any in person charisma.

Yikes. Texas appears to be declaring transgender surgeries for kids as 'child abuse'.

Trump sides with Putin as Biden tries to stop a war

https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/23/polit...den/index.html

"I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, 'This is genius.' Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine, of Ukraine, Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that's wonderful," Trump said in an interview on "The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show."

The ex-President added: "So Putin is now saying, 'It's independent,' a large section of Ukraine. I said, 'How smart is that?' And he's going to go in and be a peacekeeper. That's the strongest peace force," Trump said. "We could use that on our southern border. That's the strongest peace force I've ever seen. ... Here's a guy who's very savvy. ... I know him very well. Very, very well."

Trump was referring to Putin's declaration on Monday that he would regard two rebel regions of eastern Ukraine, where he has been fostering separatism, as independent and his order for Russian troops, which Putin misleadingly called "peacekeeping" forces, to reinforce the enclaves. The move was a flagrant violation of international law, was resonant of the tyrannical territorial aggrandizement of the 1930s that led to World War II and was, as Biden said on Tuesday, tantamount to "the beginning of a Russian invasion."

Trump is a ####ing madman, and that was before these comments. How any American can support his undemocratic / fully authoritarian ass is still beyond me.

^^ in the same breath during that interview, he basically says 'this would never have happened if I were in power'. I don't know how he can justify those two statements at once.. what a disgrace

Wow, that is shocking, even for Texas. History is not going to look kindly on this authorization. Maybe I'm naive and optimistic, but I think society will accept transgender people and issues the way we now generally accept and understand homosexuality. There will always be the #######s and the religious extremists, but as a general matter, society accepts and understands homosexuality in the sense that gay people can live openly, marry and not have to live in hiding the way they did a couple generations ago. We can have gay characters in shows and movies who aren't just "the gay guy," but are fully developed characters who happen to be gay.

It's going to take time, but I see it in my kids' schools, where trans kids can come out and are generally accepted. I have no doubt they get teased or bullied by some kids, but kids learned about transgendered issues and just accepted. It's going to take older generations some time, but as the olds lose power in the cultural zeitgeist and die off, we'll get there. Then again, a lot of older people come to realize they don't have to understand and can let people be happy expressing their true selves and not care. Seriously, why the #### do people care?

Did anyone doubt that Trump wouldn't back Putin here?

Please, let them go. The cost of gasoline right now will make these mouth breathing idiots regret their decision half-way to Washington, and then have to pay for the return trip. Trump supporters really are just shy of suffering from a neurological or cognitive problem.

took me about 2 seconds to realise if you make parents allowing 'unnecessary' surgery a form of child abuse you have just outlawed circumcision, wonder if they've thought about that?

Man this place is actually the worst. Allowing children to get reasignment surgery is absolutely abuse and the parents should be jailed.

This place has turned into a far leftist echo chamber and it just keeps getting worse.

"Religious exemption" is a pretty standard catch-all for the things they still want to allow.
