    I think more of the noise comes from your side, not theirs. But maybe it’s because I don’t listen to it when they bring it up, and I try and tune it out when your people scream bloody fire over it. Either way, the fact (or better stated, my opinion) remains that the attention it receives is grossly disproportionate to the societal impact.

    Elections are multiple choice tests, not craft your own wet dream solutions.

    So yeah, yay, that my party that is seeking to shake things up, won, and double/triple/ quadruple yay squared, that the one realistic opposition party--the America hating, Chicom puppet, take care of (only) their own, corrupt AF, establishment, committed to status quo party--that's been in power for 8 of last 12 years--finally got a clean sweep boot.

    People just love drama. 99% of folks are thinking "ok, that makes sense, let's hope we can move onto more important matters, now."

    Go GATORS!

    Sure. You got your plate full.

    Take care yourself.

    (Sincere, not sparky, fwiw).

    policies are not MC.

    'wet dream solutions"? Please, tell us how New Nafta is not more regulatory than old Nafta. Not making things worse is hardly a WDS. Being opposed to the government having taxpayers pony up $820,000 per washing machine job is favoring a WDS?

    Also, I am pretty sure elections don't require you to become a commie cheerleader.

    Well you won’t explain yourself. So you have created your own perception.

    Protecting female sports is a big deal. It's common sense. Only the mentally ill believe it's okay for a man to compete in women's sports because that woman says it's a man.

    Meh, it's about as important as changing names on an Army base or removing a statue. And before you spout off with "it's only 10 trans people vs. millions of insulted AA's" guess what, the vast majority don't GAS one way or the other and it could also be seen as a distraction to avoid discussing the real problems with race or immigration in this country.

    It's not my thing, but it doesn't bother me too much. Not as much as, say, men who rape women.

    What's the need for this? I'm certain docspor has zero shits to give you and your foul attitude. I, otoh, view it as low class trash. Now go celebrate your achievement medals for [mental] gymnastics.

    Danny Wuerffel hosts a pickleball tourney. It's probably a fundraiser, knowing Danny. But guys like 92 have to bluster and make fun of people doing physically active things they enjoy.

    It is unfortunate the noise is even necessary for this. So while I can see how you view it this way. I also think…reality is 99% of people agree it is ridiculous. But here we are with males competing against females.

    Crazy this even has to be discussed.

    ***To our previous posts with each other…that is why I think we just differ a little on the severity of the impact. As one child whose parents fall for the idea it is okay attempt and change whether they are male or female is causing some of the greatest harm imaginable. And I think this is part of what leads to those also rare cases. But cases that should never happen. When your of age and want to make certain decisions. That is different.***

    Does not work. That is part of how the agenda works.

    I concur with your sentiments. But then the trans are just playing on Saturdays with friends. Which is totally fine. But not for the people with an agenda.
