Johnson85, I agree with a lot of what you're saying. However, the federal government doesn't favor the single left-wing nut job asking for crazy gender policies. A local California school board may. A local county government may. But the federal government does not. What the federal government favors is the large corporations that have paved the way for today's politicians to remain in power. The healthcare, pharmaceutical, firearms, tobacco and alcohol lobbyists dictate policy in this country. They control the representatives we elected to represent us. That's the problem. All this "liter box in the bathroom" bullshit is a distraction to keep all of you focused on the wrong things. They take one instance of insanity and spew it all over the social media and get people in Mississippi worked up about some lunatic BS happening in San Francisco. Who cares!?!?!
The 24-hour news cycle doesn't report the news. They decide the news.
When the grand old party gave up on states rights after winning the White House, House, and Senate during W's term and ballooned the federal government's spending to levels that had never been seen before (yes, you read that correctly... GOP outspent the Dem who actually balanced the budget), the political landscape was set. Big corporations took over the Fed. It hasn't changed since.
Blaming the strange lady-man/man-lady political distraction for America's current problems is like blaming a fart for climate change.
This is dumb. Nobody is complaining about transgenders existing. They want their daughters and wives to be able to have bathrooms and dressing rooms to themselves and they want their daughters to be able to play women's sports without having to complete against boys/men.
The sex abuse certainly was not limited to the catholic church, which probably has a lower rate of sexual abuse per capita than public school employees. That said, much of the catholic sex abuse scandals did involve homosexual priests and post pubescent boys. People like to just avoid the question of whether an abuser was homosexual, I assume because they are concerned the rates of offense would not be the same for straight people and homosexual people or people that are transgendered.
This is also dumb. Even relatively ridiculous rape claims get treated as credible. Obviously there was a lot of identity politics going on, but the Duke Lacrosse Case for example.
3 out of our last 5 presidents were accused of sexual assault that involved penetration or rape. I would say one of those was a very credible accusation and involved somebody that had to give up their law license for perjury, so the he said she said doesn't exactly cut in his favor. Biden and Trump may lie a lot, but that doesn't exactly mean they're rapists. Trump's accuser is not particularly credible. I don't know enough about Biden's. That's about all you can go off of though when you are talking about a he said/she said accusation from decades earlier.
An impressive amount of actual errors here. He didn't sue Carroll. She sued him. The jury found that he was not liable for rape. That's not a criminal trial where maybe they thought he raped her but couldn't get over the high burden of proof. They found by a preponderance of the evidence that he did not rape her. But regardless, that wouldn't prove or disprove the claim. In a he said she said account from 30 years prior, a majority vote by a civil jury just doesn't tell you much about what actually happened. It tells you some combination of how much they liked or disliked the accuser and defendant and how credible or not they found the accuser and defendant.
So glad you have figured out what Christianity dictates people should vote for. You should definitely let all the christian religious leaders know so they can tell their congregants how to vote.
The Biden administration claimed that Title IX, which was supposedly enacted to ensure educational opportunities were not denied to women, prohibited schools receiving federal funding from having female only bathrooms, locker rooms, dorms, or sports. That's a massive deal that affects basically everybody with a female relative or friend that attends or works at an educational institution subject to Title IX (which is the vast majority of them)
One, it's not a political distraction to the women affected. If you give me the choice between my daughter being able to have a girls only bathroom at school or my preferred tax policy, I'm going to go with what is better for my daughter. Two, if sane people can't win on the really obvious issue of "Should the federal government allow single sex bathrooms and female only sports", then there's no need for a distraction. The government can do whatever they want regardless. It's not like people are going to rebel over tax policy but not over their wives and daughters being able to have a bathroom to themselves.
All this bathroom hyperbole is why my wife has this sign at her business:

Hey, don't break my concentration... I'm busy marinating your deer meat.

I wouldn't say they are the biggest threat to democracy. I would say that men and definitely including white men have issues and we shouldn't hide from them. This entire post started because of the comments of a CEO or CFO of Allstate. When I heard their address before the delayed Sugar Bowl, it was actually sobering that I was hearing something that the country needed to hear.
The threat to democracy, well that is definitely a political discussion that I will not enter on this site. As it has nothing to do with Sports or Mississippi State and I don't feel like getting shadow banned for a month like last year during the baseball run.
If I get what I deserve, woe is me.
If the Christ of the Bible, keeps his promises (there lies my faith), PRAISE GOD!!
(1) the decision allowed states and individual school districts to implement those policies, which as I noted in my post, we're made by some local authorities.
(2) I'm still not sure how a California school district affects people in Mississippi? I'm pretty sure school bathrooms are still labeled boy/girl in Georgia.
What happened to the old state's rights conservatives? Now we're trying to implement social laws and regulations in other states? Your way is your way. And your way is fine. But your way doesn't have to be everybody's way. Isn't that what we're fighting for? Individual liberty? Why should someone in Mississippi be able to tell someone in California how to label their bathrooms?
That in part is why so many are leaving the culture of Cali for a more normal setting to live, work, worship and raise kids.
I made myself wealthy by other means and I entertain myself watching others tell others how to supposedly be smart.
California population 2006 - 36,021,202
California population 2015 - 38,904,296
California population 2024 - 39,198,693
Mississippi population 2006 - 2,904,978
Mississippi population 2015 - 2,990,231
Mississippi population 2024 - 2,943,045
Cali has gained a Mississippi worth of population in the timeframe that Mississippi has gained 40k people.

and now this latest fire just shines a light on their incompetence leading their people. Gonna see more people move away and it has probably ended Pretty Boy's presidential aspirations. What gross mismanagement resulting in millions of loss plus a few lives
Tater knows. It's all part of his scheme on ED.
