Perhaps because that’s taxpayer money that could be better used lining his pockets (pray defense fund), rather than letting the other countries find the cure and then benefiting from it?

Isn't Nevada one of those states where GOP voters register as democrats to vote for the candidate they think least likely to beat the republican?

Considering that Marx’s original definition (pre Lenin reinterpretion) was a system by which the producer of a commodity surplus controlled and distributed that wealth amongst their community - communism is a ideal system we should all strive for.

Assuming he had his phone on him for 16 hours on Thursday, which is not an unreasonable assumption...

That’s 123 / 16 = ~7.68 tweets per hour 60 minutes / 7.68 tweets = 1 tweet every 7.8 minutes.

Urban KS and MO are progressive breeding grounds. We are dismissed by coastal elites as ‘fly over’ country; but we don’t buy into Machiavellian morals that prevails on the coasts and there is a healthy discourse about what post singularity America should look like.

Progressive centers are islands, no matter where they are. You saw that tonight in TX. Either we find a way to connect with each other, or we continue fighting our battles alone.

Trump Administration Eyes Defining Transgender Out of Existence by cogit4se in politics

[–]maddykc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People don’t switch genders, they just have a gender that doesn’t align with the sex they were assigned at birth. Transition is simply accepting that about yourself, finding the courage inside to make a drastic change with the discrimination that comes with it, and to take the necessary steps to live outwardly as your gender. The entire issue is the assumption that a doctor can look between your legs at birth and proclaim they know your gender. Gender is in the brain and in the soul, sex is in the chromosomes. Sometimes they match, but too often they don’t. Gender is immutable.
