    It's the same with racists too.

    Just hope it doesn't happen to your family. It is Hell on Earth. And nothing anyone should make light of. Rather an alive happy daughter than a depressed son that commits suicide because he has feelings and thoughts he feels he can't share because most refuse to even acknowledge they are even possible. Close mindedness to the simple fact all things are possible is a bad thing.

    I haven't lost anything. I will admit four is young for that particular case. But still, if you haven't lived with gender dysphoria or with someone that has it, then respectfully you have no clue what you are talking about.

    Shouldn't we treat it like a mental illness then, instead of feeding into it?

    The suicide rate for transgendered people is estimated to be at least 9 times higher than the national average. And even the rate for people that get gender reassignment surgery isn't substantially different. Before you try to blame it on society, these rates are similar even in areas that are very accepting of this lifestyle. You find similar results in other countries as well.

    Just my informed opinion, but it is more the cruelest of birth defects than illness. Either way it is not a matter of choice for the patient. As I said, four is young that is extreme but pre-teen and puberty it is best to not discourage it.

    Is it politically advantageous for Trump to announce new tariffs on China on Friday and send the stock market tumbling? Now he gets a whole weekend of bad press and talk of economic mismanagement.

    I'm actually in support on his confrontation with China but it seems like he could play good cop and let trade advisors in back rooms be bad cop, creating a much better and stabler situation.

    Every single issue brings rage and ludicrous comments from the Oval Office. It's not a good recipe for leadership.

    Bouncing back from the disappointment of not being able to buy Greenland, President of America, King of Israel, Chosen one, and very stable genius Donald Trump has announced a plan to buy the magical land of Narnia from Middle Earth.

    “It’s something we’re looking into, you know,” explained the ‘President’ in a completely not mad kind of way.

    “I know they’ve had some problems there with an almighty battle between Aslan and the wicked Snow Queen, but the thing you’ve got to remember is there were very fine people on both sides there.”

    It is thought that Trump is possibly concerned about America’s lack of presence in any magical realms, and having Narnia as a 51st state could give the US a foothold in the region leading to trading opportunities for magic beans, unicorns and glassware infused with the souls of enemies.

    “I like Narnia, it’s a fine place. Lots of fauns,” continued the President.

    “And fauns love me, they do. They love me over there. You know I met with Mr Tumnus and he said ‘gee Mr Trump, Aslan’s okay. But, if you were leader then it would really make Narnia great again’.

    “That’s what I want to do, folks. Make Narnia great again.”

    Middle-Earth has yet to respond to Mr Trump’s plans because it is fictional and doesn’t exist. Narnia, on the other hand, told the President to ‘**** off’.

    We will be hearing from Middle-Earth soon enough. The Grey Host is being summoned.

    Personally I'd try to annex Numenor.

    President Donald J. Trump has asserted that he has the authority to force all U.S. businesses to leave China. The 1977 law he cites was passed to define and restrain presidential assertions of power, not to enable a president to cut off economic ties with a trading partner.

    and the republicans and the party of trump are silent on this gross power grab

    i'm starting to be curious if they believe they will succeed in their hope for a dictatorship before democrats can get back in power

    i mean, all they are doing is allowing the likes of the other side to show that this is allowed

    when republican leadership start not only mocking him but doing something about him

    i will stay say republicans

    cause as i have shared Amash and Walsh and Conway and other conservatives , they don't hold real power but maybe they are just in my echo chamber lol

    and unlike you i don't view twitter accounts like them as the right, i view people in power as the right and they are silent
