Annnnd yet again, my state embarrasses the hell out of me. If you were to come here, look around, see what the state has to offer, and NOT TALK TO 60% OF THE PEOPLE, it's actually very nice. Fucktards.
What hypocrites! One of the noncommenters here has written extensively about Missouri's court system so I'm not at all surprised. Trans rights are human rights, and if the show me state wants to show us teen suicides, they won't care.
My triggered rant, 15 years ago, I personally investigated actual misuse of hormone blockers completely unrelated to transgender care that led to doctor losing his license. The wording of the law would specifically not cover the actual abuse.
“The Constitution does not prohibit legislatures from enacting stupid laws.”
That certainly describes what Republican legislators are doing around the country - the passage of laws that are not only stupid but obviously written from boilerplate provided by extremist organizations ( I'm thinking here of ALEC, which is still around, altho' they were once the subject of much loud controversy but are now flying under the radar )
If ALEC creates some stupid bill text, Republican legislators will still attempt to use that text and claim credit for it
'Wonkette confidently predicts that 50 years from now bans on trans healthcare will be widely and legally acknowledged to be equal protection violations.'
They generally are. But in the US? Apparently 'equality' is determined by geography, and unless all y'all work a miracle, I doubt it'll ever change. Your short period of sanity appears to be over for good.
OT: I’m so fucking done with our MSM. These people want to feign outrage at Biden pardoning his son after helping re-elect the 34 count convicted felon, adjudicated rapist who is filling his cabinet with ex convincts and sex offenders?

What Changed?!’ Reporters Shout Questions at Biden About Hunter Pardon as He Departs for Africa — And Again as He Lands
Joe Biden is too nice to do it but sometimes I wish he'd just do a "Fuck all y'all" for them covering for President Klan Robe and dumping on him and Kamala Harris.
"Wonkette confidently predicts that 50 years from now bans on trans healthcare will be widely and legally acknowledged to be equal protection violations."
This assumes, of course, that the US still exists fifty years from now and hasn't broken up into a loose federation of regional states controlled at a distance by oligarchs living in domed gated communities protected by private armies.
My money is still on our country, I would hope that 50 years from now people would be as ashamed to admit they have MAGA relatives in their family tree as people are to admit they have Nazi's and slave holders.
I'm not so sure. I really look at 2024 as the "last chance" election.
If we could have elected Harris and taken at least the House or Senate, there would be a chance to rebuild and move on. But now, we're going to be dealing with unfolding self-made economic and political crisis on a daily basis. And, to top it off, climate change will get worse.
I think all this may prove just too much for the system to self-correct.
Only really excellent systems can self correct major things. Most systems need the interaction of their interested parties. And while our interested parties often get it wrong, in the long run they more often get it right.
My favorite rich people delusion is the idea that, if they ever needed to flee to their doomsday bunker, their armed guards and staffs would stay loyal to them once the value of their wealth fucking evaporates.
I'm just glad I'm an old man. 68 years old and knowing that thanks to being immunocompromised Cuckoo For Cocoa Puffs RFK is signing my death warrant when he stops vaccines and medical research. I'm diabetic too. Just waiting for Kennedy to tell us we don't need insulin--just follow a healthy diet and take supplements to lower blood sugar...

They don’t call it “The Puke State” (and its inhabitants “Pukes”) for nothing.

There's already a huge influx of young, queer refugees from states south of Illinois into Chicago, and this is just going to make all of this worse.
This is what "protecting the youth" looks like when Nazis are doing it.

There's nothing right-wingers love more than their grievances about oppression by the minority.
Fifty years ago, a lot of things that are being undone now were considered settled law.
Hell with these dumb-asses.
Heterosexual youth are prescribed puberty blockers all the time.
What is the excuse of these mean little shits?
Hate. Just hate.
IKR? And things like hormones for severe acne are totally common, for example.

"What changed" LOL wowwwwwwwwwww.
Joe Biden is too nice to do it but sometimes I wish he'd just do a "Fuck all y'all" for them covering for President Klan Robe and dumping on him and Kamala Harris.
To call what the MSM is doing yellow journalism would be flattery.
What changed is that the Democrats lost the election and Smelvis has declared retribution to be his main goal.
The Press can’t be bothered to do the bare minimum research.
MSM - Mostly Shite Media
Trump has reversed course on project 2025 but you won’t hear the Press shouting “what’s changed” at him.
When did THAT happen?
I do think that Kamala Harris should have dug into equal rights for gays and trans instead of just ignoring them.
Not everyone celebrated with large winged bipeds, my waspy sister in law served lasagna.
Our brilliant series of gratitude filled meals included no animal or animal-adjacent product. It was great.
Good for you, death never struck me as very thankful

James Bond movies are not documentaries.
Nor are the villains meant to be heroes. I think.
This is why I hired a credible architectural firm to design my hollowed out volcano lair.
It never hurts to be proactive.
That is literally Peter Thiel's goal. He wants a fiefdom to rule, and he is willing to destroy the US to do it. He has not been secretive about this.
There are plenty of uninhabited islands. Pick one and leave us alone.
No no no, he wants *people* to rule over. What is even the point otherwise?

I wouldn't be surprised if the Republicans tried to stop covering it b/c "it's your choice to be that way." *bashes head into desk*
But he considers himself to be a medical expert because he injected heroin for fourteen years.
If there is anything humane or related to science or the betterment of mankind, Missouri politicians are against it, like Barnes Jewish Hospital.
