squistion

It does and it is impractical and unrealistic to try to ban all political discussion (including a straight news story only recounting the facts of a major news event). As some of us are aware, all discussion of Trump's attempted assassination has been shut down on another forum. How can you take any discussion board seriously if the biggest news story of the year can't be mentioned and everyone has to pretend it didn't happen? You can't.

That hasn't been confirmed.

Changing the pronoun a person uses for themselves is now considered a form of mental illness? You can't make this stuff up.

That has not been officially confirmed.

That is what we are discussing per the thread title and that is what the new rule is requiring.

Fun Fact:"dicklips" is not considered a pronoun

A referendum on Trump and also on a Black woman (are we ready to elect one?).

Let's take this with a grain of salt. Whenever I link to Axios I always get a bunch laughing emojis. https://www.axios.com/2024/07/18/president-biden-drop-out-election-democrats Several top Democrats privately tell us the rising pressure of party congressional leaders and close friends will persuade President Biden to decide to drop out of the presidential race, as soon as this weekend.

Photo shopped fake.

Every single one that I saw said that too. In fact I don't recall seeing one saying it was anything else.

No reputable news source I am sure, but it was only a matter of time before that label was attached to him.

JuneJuly? Another new alias. Amazing how they always seem to find this forum.

https://x.com/WhiteHouse/status/1813702044626120798 President Biden is vaccinated, boosted, and he is experiencing mild symptoms following a positive COVID-19 test. He will be returning to Delaware where he will self-isolate and will continue to carry out all of his duties fully during that time. A note from @POTUS' Doctor: The President presented this afternoon with upper respiratory symptoms, to include rhinorhea (runny nose) and non-productive cough, with general mailaise. He felt okay for his first event of the day, but given that he was not feeling better, point of care testing for COVID-19 was conducted, and the results were positive for the COVID-19 virus. Given this, the President will be self-isolating in accordance with CDC guidance for symptomatic individuals. PCR confirmation testing will be pending. His symptoms remain mild, his respiratory rate is normal at 16, his temperature is normal at 97.8 and his pulse oximetry is normal at 97%. The President has received his first dose of Paxlovid. He will be self-isolating at his home in Rehoboth.

Mike should purge, ban the posters who keep ruining every thread on this forum. That is the easy fix or solution, but Joe B. wouldn't do it and maybe MIke won't either.

More likely he will end free range chickens.

Truman and Lyndon Johnson knew they weren't going to win the election anyway, so they saved themselves the humiliation of a loss.

As I suspected. I knew they misstated or misinterpreted these stats because I have yet to see anything that proves that sexual or physical abuse is a cause of being LGBTQ - there are no credible stats or studies to back up that claim.

Does Tim's link show that some sort of abuse is what causes kids to become LGBTQ? (I would seriously doubt that it does).

What kind of abuse do you think causes them to become LGBTQ? It doesn't matter because there are no stats that prove either physical abuse or sexual abuse is related to being or becoming LGBTQ.

And it is not helping Biden any. I am not sure what Schiff's motive is here.

There is no statistical proof to back up that decades old discredited meme that kids become LGBT because they were recruited.

Or so one would think, but perhaps that is too logical. And if the teacher is required to tell the parent, and the child knows that the parent might react negatively, then they probably won't mention this to a teacher (which I can't see as being a good thing as far as the mental health of the child is concerned).

Exactly. Yet despite some really horrible potential consequences, some still want the state to force the teacher to do this.

https://x.com/BidensWins/status/1813628079543402819 BREAKING: The Dow Jones has passed 41,000 for the first time in its history. Inflation is cratering. Costs for groceries, gas, and housing are plummeting. The Biden economy is roaring.

No, what I think is authoritarian would be requiring schools/teachers to give this information to parents (which may cause harm to the child). If the minor wishes to let their parents know their choice of pronouns, they can still do so on their own.
