I remember reading a while back that in Iran, homosexuality is of course a grave sin. But if a gay man transitions to a straight woman, they’re A OK with that. My point being, I can imagine laws making homosexuality illegal…just overturn Lawrence. But I can’t imagine laws making trans people illegal. IOW, to me, gay gun owners are much more at risk, theoretically anyway, than trans people.
Your assertion was that patrol levels and crime levels are unrelated. Nothing here supports that assertion. A whole lotta work for nothing. You get high marks for truthiness, not so much for truth.

He'll get his marks from POCs, not you, lol You're in no position to judge anyone's work. When you can hear the unspoken, I'll be one of the first to say so.
Yes. They're already calling hormone therapy for teenagers child abuse. Con messaging always has to start off somewhere
But a gay man will never transition to be a straight woman. A gay man could be, to those who believe this crap, converted to be a straight man. But he will always be a man. A trans woman was once a man, and therefor always a man. But in the world where heterosexuality is the law, gays and trans people don't exist.
They'll pull the old Trumpy trick of threatening to withhold millions from any hospital that does it thereby making it a tough choice for hospital brass.
Actually... yeah. The NRA represents gun and rifle manufacturers, not the people who own guns. They are culture warriors to the extent it drives gun sales, but not to the extent it curtails the market.
Wonder what the Trvmp clique is going to do now. Threatening didnot work, the fine in fact is laughing right in his face. Google has been hit with a 3 billion fine by the EU, while iirc Hegseth threatened the USA would withdraw from NATO if we wouldnot backdown.
I'm sure it's low-hanging fruit, but to point out the hypocrisy with the religious conservatives who are anti-trans because "It's against God's will", but they'll choose to have their kids circumcised... If one is against God's will because "God gave that to my son..." *Think.gif*
Want to protect yourself from government overreach and stand up for your God-given 2A raights?* Get yourself an American-made firearm, pardner! YEEE-HAA! *Trans people not included
I thought leading you to the river would do it, but let me help you and be more direct: Crime levels are no higher in black neighborhoods than any other, excepting that we (society) choose to document and (more importantly) punish black people.
Funny thing it popped up in another way in a road trip docu by a Dutch young woman travelling in the USA and she in an episode travelled through Michigan and encountered a white catholic woman, who's teenager son was treated differently for the same (minor) offenses than the evangelical bos of his age. Was quite illuminating to see how fokked the American rule of law in fact is, if you diverge from the WASP template.
Here's an update about some of the goings-on in Trump's crypto. As you recall, his original crypto play is called World Liberty Financial. It is a crypto company that supposedly offered financial services (but thousands of crypto companies do that so no one cares) and sold a token that was basically a share of the company but without all the regulations shares have to go through. At the time it launched you could only buy tokens from WLF directly and they could not be resold or transferred. After the guys that made the coin got their cut Trump and family pocket the rest, which was a lot. It was a great way to bribe Trump completely legally. The number one briber was Justin Sun, the king of shady crypto and evil personified. Whenever there was injustice, tyranny, ruthlessness, a blockchain created by Justin Sun was involved. But a few tens of million of dollars spent buying WLFI tokens and the Federal case against him melted away. So recently they started phase two of the World Liberty Financial con. Tokens can now be sold and bought on the market. This helps Trump two ways. First, Trump gets a cut of every trade. Second, he and the people at the top, all of whom have large amounts of tokens freely given to them, can now sell to retail customers. This immediately crashed the market, as while there are a large number of suckers willing to buy it was nothing compared to the insiders cashing out. So here's the funny bit - WLFI started freezing the accounts (272!) of people that paid large bribes to Trump to make sure they couldn't sell and drive down the market even further. And one of them is Justin Sun. And now he's crying on Twitter about it. Funny that someone did to him what he did to so many others.
Yes, we're becoming increasingly irrelevant. GroovyShelly The single biggest thing he's done since 1-20-25 is something that never seemed possible: He's made the United States of America...small. Insignificant. Benched Our allies are banding together happily, without us. Our enemies are banding together happily, laughing at us. Sicker. Weaker. Alone. Sad
murder is the best crime for statistical comparisons for obvious reasons you are wrong https://www.statista.com/statistics/1466623/murder-offenders-in-the-us-by-race/ counts murderers by race in 2023 and this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_United_States#Race_and_ethnicity breaks down population in 2025 Your jihad against numbers is futile. You will be assimilated. I’ve become accustomed to the folks here who don’t accept facts, and I just laugh at yall now. I used to think I could fix yall, but nah, if you prefer truthiness to truth, I can’t fix that for you.
This is the mood Trump has created. Donald Trump is a blessing for Europe. This is according to geopolitical analyst and professor Rob de Wijk. Now that we no longer can rely on the military protection of the Americans, Europe is forced to stand on its own two feet at a rapid pace. De Wijk even argues for a NATO without the US. "We have to get rid of those Americans. We can do it on our own."
I dug out and shined up the source of the reference. For some reason this stuck in my head when I was single digit years old.
Y'all? The y'all who were catatrophizing until Trump won in 2024? That y'all? You're not laughing. You're so angry you can't even post without attacking someone. Yet you desperately ignore the folks who check your pimply White ass at the gate because you can't defend your positions from before Trump was elected. Until you do right by the reality-based posters you slurred before Trump's Christian Revolution, everything you even think about is gonna crumble In fact, it's already happening.
