I'd like to have a serious discussion on legitimate concerns regarding the upcoming Trump presidency. I've got some friends and family who aren't handling this well, much like the 4B and other sky screamers on Tik Tok and the MSDNC. I would like to have a rational discussion with them, and with you. Doing so IMO involves acknowledging legitimate concerns they may have. To that end, please state on an actual concern that the Left might have which is potentially valid. I'd like to acknowledge these in such discussions. Here, I'll start, for @The Real timschochet 's benefit: If Trump institutes the tariffs in the way he's described, it would likely cause a significant increase in prices for a lot of everyday goods. I've argued that this is part of his "art of the deal" to get China to negotiate, but that is my opinion only, so this is a valid concern. I don't want to limit discussion, but I'll say right now that "he said he'd be a dictator on day one" is dumb and not going to make the cut, since this is childish and has been debunked. I'll collect rational concerns in the following post. TIA!

I hope the Waymo's get revenge tomorrow...

"My military parade" could mean, I dunno, "my parade for the military." Probably not Kyle Griffin's take tho, I'm guessing.

You can do it. Let me know if you need help with the color red.

It works. Will do. Let me know if you have some special easy way of importing, or if you just manually enter them as they come in.

I'm happy to do it. Only thing is that I've got to head out by 5:15 (8:15 your time) at the latest for some plans, so I might not be able to finish the final few groups, depending on tee times. I'll send you my email.

Shane Lowry 100 Did you see him pick up his ball off the green without marking it? He took a 1 stroke penalty, and his caddy gave him a "yer a tard" look.

Lefties don't get this. They predict the behavior of other cultures based on what our culture would do. Then when the other culture, in this case a terrorist Islamic state, inevitably acts contrary to that, they fall back on the oppressed/oppressor card. Basically, "their life sucks so it must be our fault, we should have helped them more." They suck at empathy regarding other cultures.

and if calling a trans woman "he" automatically makes you bigoted.

Well, it must be a day that ends in Y: You've tagged me in a thread I haven't read let alone commented in. I did read the rest of the posts from here, and it seems you are off your meds again. You seem like basically a good guy; please seek help.

Authoritarian? It was to protect federal assets and people, not take over the city like you sky screamers were saying. Also, their presence helped deter larger escalation. I present as evidence: every other riot in LA in our lifetime. You don't understand peace through strength. You are one of those scared liberals who is afraid Iran might do something mean, so we should let them develop nuclear capabilities so they don't get mad.

Killed? You are sad.

This guy. Last few days: Trump is an authoritarian taking over Cali and instigating riots$#@! Today: Trump didn't do nuthin$#@!

Yep. Once again, Trump's "peace through strength" strategy is a big winner.

@BiffTannenthat has to be the worst combined score by the 4 guys taken at the 1-2 turn in the history of this league!

I've never said one way or another. But it's good we could settle the "he" thing.

Do you think it is reasonable for her to think it helps her point? Here, I'll end this. The answer is "yes," and that means she isn't a bigot for using it. I'm glad we cleared this up.

Will you STFU. I'm making a point with Tim, and your blathering is in the way.

Do you agree that a reasonable person could think using "he" helps her point?

She doesn't have to, but using "he" helps make her point. Tell me if you see this or not.

No it's not. Her entire argument is that the competitor is a man. To call him "she" is to validate him as a woman. So she should say, "it's unfair for her to compete with women"? Dumb You are wrong on this, just stop.

Her objective is to emphasize that he is a he. Again, why would she not do this?

Her entire point is about biological men competing in women's sports. Why would she NOT call them "he"? Does it help her cause to obfuscate their biology?
