Bird flu is a different issue like covid is. Biden doesn't get any credit for covid because he spent his way out of it and caused 9% inflation and we are living with the effects of that still. He caused the current economic issues by spending another huge amount on covid spending then a huge amount on the green new deal/inflation reduction act. mspart

https://komonews.com/news/local/city-attorney-charges-brought-in-8-out-of-261-protest-related-arrests-in-seattle City Attorney: charges brought in 8 out of 261 protest related arrests in Seattle That is 3% of those arrested in Seattle. The next question is why were only 261 arrested? I don't think that constitutes many many. Maybe other jurisdictions persecuted more. But I think this was fairly typical around the country. mspart

WKN - Just asking when was this opinion made? Is it possible for it to be amended? It certainly is compelling. mspart

Yes that did happen. But before that happened, we had a lot of economic activity that was positive. Plus you live in FL where the restrictions were lifted quickly and didn't feel the full weight of the lock downs. Here in WA we lived in lock down mode for over a year and a half. mspart

Ouch!!! Stinking tax dodger! mspart

You did not address my question. It would seem you only hold this position on laws to restrict constitutional rights to the second amendment. That is inconsistent to say the least. mspart

Better investigate. mspart

This is a good question. There will always be folks that come through. They used to be folks looking for work. Now they are looking for benefits. or easy criminal activity. That has dried up. So a guy has to ask himself, Do I feel lucky? mspart

Trump won because people were better off 4 years ago than they were under Biden. Trump won in 2016 because the people were tired of Obama and his version of "this is as good as it is gonna get" and wanted better. Trump gave better. Better economy, better tax structure, better business environment. That is what MAGA was about. It was a repudiation of Obama and his economic thinking. You might argue this and that is fair. But that is what happened. mspart

Trip - In other words you are in favor of laws that restrict a constitutional right like owning guns. Do you feel the same about other rights and provisions in the constitution? mspart

I don't think I'll invest in any of these. mspart

In general I support these pardons. The exception is the pardons for those that were actually violent to the Capitol Police and those that destroyed property. The rest that were non violent, I am not against those pardons. Just saying. mspart

So the question is that language in the XIV amendment. Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. So the question falls on this clause, bolded an underlined. mspart

One of the reasons the left lost was because they continually called Trump Hitler and a Nazi. It is clear they have learned nothing from their experience. Keep doing the same thing, continue becoming more and more irrelevant. mspart

FIFY mspart

So now you have ditched the argument for an intersex argument, like that is what you are really concerned with. It doesn't matter what you think has happened, women don't want men in their bathrooms, locker rooms, jail cells, etc. Having a man in there makes them feel threatened and unsafe. They don't count in your calculation apparently. This is about boys/men playing against girls/women in girls/womens sports. This is about protecting opportunities for women. You are apparently against protecting opportunities for women, making safe spaces for women. These are things that were taken for granted until the trans thing happened. This has to do with people without mutation trying to be the other sex. This has nothing to do with people who have a mutation. You are now arguing a different thing than you stated with and that is what this always devolves to. If you honestly are for trans rights, you should make your daughters (if you have any) and your wife (if you have one) and your mother accept men in their spaces. Ask them if they mind a man being in the womens bathroom. Ask them if they mind men being in their locker room? See how that goes for you. It might go fine. But probably not. They are probably just not as enlightened as you are. mspart

Now you are conflating the issue. The issue is protecting women from men who claim to be women. The whole trans movement was never about intersex individuals. It was about fully male men saying they are women and expecting to all the rights and privileges of such. And vice versa. Your latest is the go to when this line of argument fails and this is the last gasp. XO happens to girls 0.05% or 1 in 2000 times. XXY happens to boys about 0.13% of the time or 1 in 750. These are not the people being targeted in the EO. mspart

Obviously I do and accurately described it. The fact you want to continue on this track says more about your understanding of the subject than mine Said one more time, at conception, you have one of two pairing of chromosomes, XX or XY. That is at conception. What you are talking about is after conception and along the development path. At conception, there is no development, only a sperm entering an egg. The language of the EO does not say anything about the development, it says conception. And at conception, the sex of the child is determined by the chromosomes. The twisting and driving yourself into a corner is interesting for sure. Care to try again? mspart

Only in response to the gaslighting from the left. All they can do is complain when their hypocrisy is put in their face. mspart

I'm reading the EO now and don't see where it says everyone is a female: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/defending-women-from-gender-ideology-extremism-and-restoring-biological-truth-to-the-federal-government/ Sec. 2. Policy and Definitions. It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female. These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality. Under my direction, the Executive Branch will enforce all sex-protective laws to promote this reality, and the following definitions shall govern all Executive interpretation of and application of Federal law and administration policy: (a) “Sex” shall refer to an individual’s immutable biological classification as either male or female. “Sex” is not a synonym for and does not include the concept of “gender identity.” (b) “Women” or “woman” and “girls” or “girl” shall mean adult and juvenile human females, respectively. (c) “Men” or “man” and “boys” or “boy” shall mean adult and juvenile human males, respectively. (d) “Female” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell. (e) “Male” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell. I am not seeing where men are women. If you are talking about the development of a child in the womb, most of you that are on this side of the argument don't consider that a human at all, but just a clump of cells. It helps to be consistent in your thought process. If you are trying to say that items d) and e) above mean that for the first six weeks all are female because of the development process, that is patently not true. The roadmap for development is held in the genes within the chromosomes. With regard to the chromosomes, you belong to either the female sex or the male sex at conception. Period. There is no ambiguity here. You might as well say that everyone has no arms, or has no legs because the development of the body hasn't gotten to that stage yet. It is a supercilious argument to make. The issue here is not intersex which is a mutation that appears in a very small minority of individuals. The issue here is of males saying they are females and should be treated as such and they have the rights that all other females have with regard to sports, locker rooms, rest rooms, jail cells, etc. And the opposite is true as well regarding females who say they are male etc. I don't think the interpretation being put forth here holds any water. mspart

But are they beautiful chromosomes, the best in the world? mspart

With the context of the whole thing now made plain to see for everyone, It is interesting that we are still on about this. What has Elon done in his life that makes you think he would be a nazi sympathizer? mspart

Vak - You have mostly been reasonable when making comment on legal type things. This is not a good start of the year for that record. mspart

Thank you mspart
