Well, that’s just not natural.

Do you really think a three or four year old is capable of deciding they want to live life as the opposite gender? There is a big difference between “figuring out gender stuff” as you put it and deciding you are in the wrong type of body.

Yeah, I have no doubt that at at certain age kids have a pretty good idea if they are trans or not. But I’ve seen stories about kids who are 3-6 years old being identified as trans. Maybe they are. But I have an almost 3 year old who sometimes identifies as Cookie Monster or dinosaurs. I’m pretty sure that’s just a…

Community policing is great. Unfortunately, it does not work retroactively...

You understand that the cops *did* investigate and reached a dead end, yes? And that they likely have other crimes to investigate and can’t put a special task force in place to spend months looking into a single case of vandalism?

Why would you assume anyone besides the actual vandal knows? People don’t generally make a point to stare at their neighbor’s houses all night long to make sure nothing happens.

We have gas, but also in our city, all the lines are underground. We don’t lose power from weather — just from the occasional transformer blowing. I realize that makes us part of a fortunate minority. 

Eggs and milk are also things you can go through pretty fast if you do lose power without making the same thing over and over. If I make french toast for breakfast, egg salad for lunch, chocolate milk for a snack and any number of milk- or egg-involved dinner entrees I can go through a dozen eggs, most of a carton of…

Aw, that’s sweet. Thanks. I’m just doing my thing, trying to avoid doing actual work. ;)

I don’t think its unreasonable to say that American blacks overall (and probably other minorities as well) might be less likely to take something from certain institutions at face value, since historically they’ve been lied to an awful fucking lot.

This.

So... wait, flat earthers think it’s sorta like a planet pizza? Still round, but definitely flat? I ... wow.

And PA! Pennsylvania was the most solidly blue of all of them! Trump won by like, 40k votes. How many otherwise Democrat voters in PA stayed home I wonder?

No, no it does not. And you are backtracking your original argument at a terrific pace. You said the party chooses the VP which is blatantly false. The presidential nominee selects the VP. The candidate may take advice on that choice from any number of other people including his/her own staff, party insiders, etc.,…

I run a one-person business and I’m about to incorporate and I have this same issue. I’m leaning toward “principal.” But yeah, we need a better term for us little guys.

Someone else pointed out that it’s possible he will just declare America Great Again and that all the problems have been fixed, and so now he can step down. I could totally see it going down like that as well.

I hate those people. And I’m a self-employed person as well, so I understand the appeal/need of making your business look legit so its taken seriously. But just ... no.

He may not quit -- let’s be honest, trying to predict what Trump will do is a fool’s game. He doesn’t even know! Which is why I think any option is possible aside from him becoming sane and miraculously starting to do a good job. That def. seems off the table.

Right. He’s horrible and I don’t want it to sound like I’m defending him. But he’s a completely different kind of horrible from Trump & Co.

He’s where the mainstream Repub. power in the WH rests. I think he has very little pull with Trump. Which should make for some interesting dynamics.
