Perhaps Hillary will be indited. But if she picks Elizabeth Warren as VP they will be hard to beat. Most people here can't stand her. Trump could could get a lot of Bernie's votes. Trump has more votes than Reagan did. The establishment is reeling.

Seems reasonable.

I agree with Trump. This does not constitute an endorsement, but there it is.

Good answer, other than "why the [redacted] are we talking about this these days, and whose idea was it?"

The answer is that the guidelines from the Office of Civil Rights of the Department of Justice, and their guidance to any facility that receives federal funds, specifies that a sixteen year old male can demand to enter a high school girls locker room and shower as a matter of course if he simply self-identifies as female. The non-specific gender bathroom has been offered and rejected, much like the subject of civil unions for gays some years ago. I'm sure that no enterprising attention-seeking sixteen year old male would abuse this, and I'm also sure that no teacher or administrator would not look forward to adding this issue as one more thing to the pile of things that keep us from learning our maths. This would also be true of the dodgy guy hanging out in the back of the mall bathroom, btw. I know it is uncomfortable to bring this up, but there it is.



If we get a new executive, the Department of Justice may provide different guidance. If not, this is the legal reality on the ground today. If you have a problem with this, according to many (including many on this forum) then the impression is that you basically are seen as the equivalent of any random cracker firing up a cross in some Georgia peanut field in 1947. I'm just explaining this the way the recipients of the DoJ order see it in the institutions it affects.

There are those that would posit that the point of allowing persons who look like males to enter female bathrooms, which is the crux of this, as transsexuals who look like males or females have been entering those corresponding bathrooms forever with little if any issue to this date, is to allow the state to convince the public that they must say that 2 + 2 = 5, no matter what they actually believe.

This is classic Frankfurt School stuff. They are bear baiting the rubes to watch them stand up and look threatening before they ask someone to shoot the bear for safety and put us all out of our misery because we can't find a safe space away from that bad ol' bear.

In short, this is popcorning from the DoJ on the very highest level. They've never had so much fun and created so many billable hours.

Never thought I would hear Marco Rubio now becoming a Trump disciple but there you are.

Republican presumptive nominee Donald Trump is making peace with former rival and presidential candidate Marco Rubio, encouraging him to run for re-election for his Florida senate seat.

Trump expressed his support on Twitter yesterday, saying: “Poll data shows that @marcorubio does by far the best in holding onto his Senate seat in Florida. Important to keep the MAJORITY. Run Marco!"

edit - if this stuff keeps up, I could become jaded and cynical over this whole politics business...

Bro, high school was a confusing enough experience to begin, but if you'd given me the option to use the girl's women's female-identifying locker room, I'd have been Bruce Jennering all day and night
 

I think Frank's got it in the bag to be honest. If Claire continues to gain traction amongst the masses then it's a hell of a ticket they've got there.

I actually voted for him early in the process. But I have since wondered about his stability when he and the very likeable Cruz started their vendettas against Trump. I still feel at the moment Trump is a much better solution than Hillary. She just lies through her teeth and smiles. Are her fans completely oblivious to all this or are they sucked into the party line?

They're just, nothing to see here, it doesn't matter. Trump? Ew.

Me, I'm Trump, ew - but Hillary is the most entitled individual to ever run for the office of president that isn't already President. It matters that she lies with such absolute impunity.

Any study of History (that capital H is no mistake) would indicate that this works until all of a sudden it doesn't any more. If she is already President when that happens, it will make a big ol' mess. The rudder of the ship of state is already a bit dodgy.

I'll vote for Hillary - to my (little) mind, she's clearly the lesser of two evils. For all her weaknesses (and they are legion), the fact is that she will be less of a disruption to our economy, our relations with other countries and to our society than will Donald. His lack of awareness (or lack of caring about same) of so much is truly disturbing. From fiscal/monetary policy to diplomatic relations to constitutional law, his ignorance is glaring, and more disturbing to me than Hillary's weaknesses.

Regardless, I see either one being a one-term president. Oh what I would have given for Jon Huntsman to come back and gain some traction.
