    This seems a crazy take. A kid can't have a cigarette, a beer, or go to a strip club, but somehow it's "GPO's moral committee" that keeps a kid from castrating themselves.

    Fake news.

    World-traveler DeSantis won't have to resign to run ... and he never did

    [​IMG]

    'Resign-to-run didn’t apply to candidates for president or vice president. Under our law, the timeline for resigning is entirely based on qualifying. Presidential and vice presidential candidates do not have to qualify. Presidential and vice presidential nominees are decided by their respective political parties at national conventions. Currently, they do not have to complete a candidate’s oath, pay a qualifying fee, fill out a financial disclosure, or turn in any of the other qualifying documentation and paperwork required of candidates for other offices.”

    A kid can go to strip club, go to a bar and have a drink and cigarette if he/s accompanied by his/her parent.

    You are changing the bar again, every single state require parental consent for sex change. Do you respect parental consent or not? That is the question. Do you want the Government has more right over children then their parents?

    DeSantis is ok with the law. Only person must resign is Kari Lake. In AZ you can’t be GOV and Vice President of USA. I didn’t know but Kari Lake’s spokesperson told media and I read it.

    Question is which one Kari lake wants to be, Gov of AZ or VP of POTUS? think she likes being Gov of AZ.

    Are you sure she lost? She said she won the election and she can prove it.

    What state lets a kid go into a bar and get a drink if they are accompanied by their parent?

    Or go into a strip club if with a parent?

    Huh, I did not know that. So this means you think it's OK to castrate and sterilize children as long as there is parental consent?

    Well please keep that in your state.

    The key word is “consent”. Children are not “castrate and sterilize” against their will. Children are not “castrate and sterilize” only with their consent but along with parental consent. More importantly these teens and their family go thru psychological therapy, counseling, other non-evasive medical treatment long time before any kind of surgery.

    I have a co-worker whose 15 years old grandson decided to change his gender. The kid is going through counseling, his twin brother is going through counseling, his parents are going through counseling. He changed his name, dress like a girl, act like a girl. But there is no guarantee he will ever have surgery. My co-worker is in his 60s and he and his wife are struggling with this. The entire family is concerned. The twin brother is struggling with the change.

    This is not a small thing. I am with you. this is bad, Kids shouldn’t make this kind of decision.

    But problem is , you conservative talk like a 13-year-old boy wants to be a girl and next day a teacher from school taking him to a dark room behind a garbage dump and chopping off his privet parts against his will and without parents knowing about it.

    It's only a minority that go as far as the surgery, but for those who do, the results are irreversible. That's why I think it just shouldn't be based on a child's "reasoning" or emotional sense of what they are or are not during adolescence; a time of great changes and of kids trying things. The decision of surgery, AND hormones, is an adult decision that should be held off until the person is an adult. Progressive Munchausen by proxy moms shouldn't have the final decision on that.

    It's possible. At this point, I would put Trump's chances of winning the nomination at about 43.5%.

    As long as he draws money away from the Lincoln Project, he is serving his party's needs even if it isn't as much as the democrats donate to it.

    Because his ego and the yes men/women around him tell him he can King......he won't, but he can hope Crooked Donnie has to actually pay the piper for his corruption in the legal system hamstringing him. IMO, Despot Wannabee DeSanctimonious would be worse than Mangolini in the long run since he will have better people behind the scenes.

    The natter-ninnies are obsessed with the "liberals" that fester in their noggins, but DeDoRunRon DeSantis allowing Trump's various legal waterlooloos to ravage him may be a shrewd calculus.

    The authoritarian has shown no capacity for loud-mouth brawling, and Chris Christy can hold his own with the whining loser in that realm.

    What the book-burning swamp thing should be concerned about is being manhandled by a mouse before he tries moving up in his weight categoty.

    I personally think that your assessment of this whole situation is very accurate.

    Yes.. the battle is for who will serve as V. P. along with President Trump.

    DuhSantis is now said to be announcing his presidential run next week.
    Sarah Three Names?

    [​IMG]



    'Sarah Huckabee Sanders 'Frontrunner' Being Considered by Ron DeSantis For VP Pick'

    Source: msn.com


    ".Insiders claim that DeSantis has set his sights on the former Trump press secretary to be his VP pick after she won the race to become the state's first female governor in November, succeeding Gov. Asa Hutchinson who served in the role since 2015.

    "He really only has one strong choice: Sarah," the source told RadarOnline.com exclusively. "He is desperate to lock up his running mate before he makes his formal announcement. He would announce his VP candidate very soon afterward."

    "He thinks it will be a one-two punch and Republicans will be hard-pressed to look past a united front, especially if it is him and Sarah," spilled the campaign insider.'

    I take it you are discussing the issue with someone I have on ignore. No matter. It seems that the goal is for the parents not to know that their kid has declared themselves to be transsexual, before their 10 birthday, and get them started on drugs. Maybe on the day before THE OPERATION, the parents will learn that their kid who has stopped growing and does not have a beard will be going in for their castration.

    Oh, now that's really cool for a progressive. You compare a woman, with whom you disagree, who happens to be a little hefty, like her father, with a pig. No funny.

    Very funny considering she was a lying pig for Trump, having nothing to do with being hefty or not.
    btw: Miss Piggy is considered a sexy diva...lol

    You are right. It’s not fair to compare Miss Piggy, an iconic, courageous, and timeless hero for young girls to the awful, no good, lying liar Sarah Sanders. I’m sorry and I will do better.

    We will take that response as evidence that you are no longer a feminist unless the woman agrees with you politics. It’s okay. The Democrats who support trans males in female sports are on the same page.

    After a while, the women, who follow the issues, will abandon your party, and their votes will be up for grabs.

    When addressing Sarah Three Names what is relevant is calling her out for being a faux hypocritical Christian and a Trump-humping blatant liar.
