The man's nearly everything I expect from an ethical billionaire and an example of capitalism at its finest. A hero really.

You're doing great, comrades. Now let's get Built Back Better passed, pass a wealth tax, and make tax payers foot the bill for middle and upper class student loan dept. Let's get this economy really singing. 🤑

US economy unexpectedly shrinks 1.4% in first quarter of 2022: Is a recession looming?

 

Real gross domestic product (GDP) decreased at an annual rate of 1.4%, according to the BEA's advance estimate. This is down significantly from the 6.9% GDP growth rate seen in the fourth quarter of 2021, marking the steepest drop since the spring of 2020. The drop was led by a fall in private inventory investments, exports, federal government spending and state and local government spending. Simultaneously, imports — which are a subtraction from the GDP — increased.

On October 20, 2020, the AP interviewed Jankowicz who insisted the laptop was a non-story:

 

"The actual origins of the emails are unclear. And disinformation experts say there are multiple red flags that raise doubts about [the email authenticity, including questions about whether the laptop actually belongs to Hunter Biden," said Nina Jankowicz, a fellow at the nonpartisan Wilson Center in Washington. [The Wilson Center is named after famous racist Progressive Democrat Woodrow Wilson and is a leftwing NGO. - Ed.]

 

“We should view it as a Trump campaign product,” Jankowicz said.

 

[...]

 

Back to October 2020. Jankowicz linked to a news article that cast “yet more doubt on the provenance of the NY Post’s Hunter Biden story.” She added, “Not to mention that the emails don’t need to be altered to be part of an influence campaign. Voters deserve that context, not a [fairy] tale about a laptop repair shop.”

 

She gushed over Christopher Steele, the man who pushed the debunked “Steele dossier” alleging Russian/Trump collusion. “Listened to this last night – Chris Steele (yes THAT Chris Steele) provides some great historical context about the evolution of disinfo,” Jankowicz tweeted in August 2020.

 

In other words, the DHS anti-disinformation group will be led by a leading purveyor of disinformation.

 

You're doing great, comrades.

You're literally a virgin in his late-30s who lives in his mom's house, has no job, and your favorite porno is one where a guy slaps around a women and tells her to suck his dick LOL

At this point Remy's been fully radicalized into the Woke cult. He's so programmed now he can't even define what a woman is anymore without using circular logic.

And LOL at this thread. It's been a running joke for years that Woke male feminists constantly turn out to be sexual predators. But then again this is the same cult that wants to use public schools to sexually indoctrinate kindergarteners into queer theory.

Aside from waning to give children experimental puberty blocking drugs while having little data on their side effects, the groomers on here are studiously avoiding talking about cross-sex hormones, which often do render children sterile among other pleasant side-effects like micropenises, and gender reassignment surgery, which literally involves amputation and mutilation of body parts.

Medical consensus is that hormone therapy does not cause physical injury or substantial harm, or ANY harm, to a child.

You're lying again. I've cited numerous major sources. 

Here's St. Louise Children's Hospital: 

What Are the Side Effects of Puberty Blockers?
 

Possible long-term side effects of puberty blockers:

- Lower bone density. To protect against this, we work to make sure every patient gets enough exercise, calcium and vitamin D, which can help keep bones healthy and strong. We also closely monitor patients’ bone density.
- Delayed growth plate closure, leading to slightly taller adult height.  
- Less development of genital tissue, which may limit options for gender affirming surgery (bottom surgery) later in life.
- Other possible long-term side effects that are not yet known.

They are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

You're lying again.

New Atlantis:

In the United States, the treatment of gender dysphoria is not yet an FDA-approved use for GnRH analogue drugs (although treatments for precocious puberty, prostate cancer, and other conditions are approved).[94] This means that puberty suppression relies on the “off-label” prescription of GnRH analogue treatments; doctors are permitted to use these drugs in treating children with gender dysphoria, but the lack of FDA approval means that pharmaceutical companies selling the drugs cannot market them for treating gender dysphoria. Off-label status reflects that the use has not been proven in clinical trials to be safe and effective.

Your use of that Mayo Clinic quote is misleading.

No it's not. They're referring to giving puberty blockers to young children with early onset puberty and then taking them off the blockers once they reach the normal age of puberty, which studies have shown rarely affects their fertility. The issue is giving blockers to older children when they reach the normal age of puberty. We have little data on how that affects their fertility.

And I caught you. Not to mention that the Mayo Clinic actually concludes the very opposite of what you were trying to say.

You're lying again. They're simply saying puberty will resume. They aren't saying it will resume without any damage having been done.

All you do is lie, groomer.

Greg Abbott has Ken Paxton issue a legal OPINION on interpreting that state's vague laws regarding child abuse, to determine that "sex reassignment surgery" and "hormone therapy" , according to Ken Paxton, falls under those laws

Paxton's legal opinion is absolutely correct. The procedures do cause substantial harm to children who would otherwise outgrow gender dysphoria, which is the vast majority of them. Under Texas family law, that clearly constitutes child abuse:

Texas Family Code § 261.001(1)

Physical Abuse: Failing to take reasonable action to prevent another person from causing physical injury and substantial harm to the child.

And big surprise, the activist judge who blocked the policy is a Democrat women with a JD from UATX and serves in Travis County. I'm shocked there's gambling in Casablanca.

And he's also lying there, because hormone blockers do not cause anything permanent

That's a lie.

NHS: "Little is known about the long-term side effects of hormone or puberty blockers in children with gender dysphoria...It's also not known whether hormone blockers affect the development of the teenage brain or children's bones. Side effects may also include hot flushes, fatigue and mood alterations."

Mayo Clinic: "Use of GnRH analogues might also have long-term effects on: Growth spurts, bone growth and density, future fertility."

American Association of Pediatrics: "Research on long-term risks, particularly in terms of bone metabolism and fertility, is currently limited and provides varied results."

And the most common blocker used, Lupron, is known to cause bone problems and other issues because we've been giving it adults to treat cancer for decades. 

You're advocating giving an experimental drug treatment with very little longitudinal data to children for a mental health issue the vast majority grow out of normally. You're disgusting.

And it's really telling that you avoided the harm caused by cross-sex hormones and gender reassignment surgery because even your dumbass knows they cause significant harm to children with gender dysphoria who would otherwise outgrow it, which again, is the vast majority. Yet you still advocate it.

You and your political cult have gone from being ridiculous to becoming plain vile.

There're about ten things wrong with this argument but you claiming Republicans have gerrymandered the Senate actually made me laugh out loud. 

The progs are avoiding this thread like the plague. 

Biden takes office: 

US vs. Eurozone:

Inflation vs. Wage Growth:

The Carter Malaise is back. Great job, progs.

By the way my favorite argument from you three lately is Jerry claiming Republicans win Senate seats so often because of gerrymandering. That one was a giant chef's kiss.

There's so much bullshit on this board from you three but I only have a few minutes so I guess I'll go with this one.

Texas law prohibits performing sex reassignment surgery on children or providing them with hormone blockers and cross-sex hormones. Abbott simply ordered CPS to investigate reports of people violating those laws. That's it.

Further, the Texas Tribune article states the total number of CPS investigators who've either quit or are seeking new jobs because of the governor's order is "more than half a dozen." That's it. That's what the reporter is falsely calling a "mass exodus."

Meanwhile:

- 90% of children with gender dysphoria outgrow it.

- 80% of children who ID as trans have two or more mental disorders besides gender dysphoria. When a non-trans group has as many mental health disorders as a trans group, the suicide risks are almost identical.

- Foster children ID as trans at 15X the rate of children in general. Do you begin to see the pattern?

- Puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones cause children to become sterile, boys to have micropenises, and often other pleasant side-effects like loss of bone density and an inability to orgasm. And sex reassignment surgery requires amputations that can't be reversed. 

So which part do you disagree with? Prohibiting people from giving children puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, or amputating and/or mutilating their body parts in the hope that they'll look more like the opposite sex? (Which Queer Theory claims is  merely a social construct based on harmful binary stereotypes that should be abolished -- that's how batshit confused it is about it's own "theories".)

Tell us so we can accurate determine if you're pro-groomer or not.

So both in California and Florida voters passed a law to make Daylight savings time permanent. But we live a in fake democracy and we don't actually get to choose our laws.  The legislature in both states then have to approve it.  Unfortunately in California every single Republican legislator voted against it so they could never get the 66% needed to be sent to the Governor to sign it. 

Dems have a super-majority in both chamber of the CA legislature. They don't need a single Republican vote to pass legislation. It's a true one-party state. The bill was never put up for a vote in the legislature because the public is split on whether to make DST or ST permanent (and making DST permanent would require federal approval due to a quirk of federal law).
