Pretty generous calling whomever asked that question a "reporter"

Trump has no idea how Liberia came to be. Probably thinks its capital Monrovia was surely named after some Congolese monkey

A) - Does he really believe whales can't navigate around a stationary object? I suppose there could be strikes as boats move parts to the construction sites, but those are typically very slow moving barges.

B) - I think there are only 6-8 towers operational at the moment.

The willful ignorance of that man is astounding.

If people care about the whales there are other causes of death that present a far greater risk than wind turbines.

You mean like schizophrenia? Bipolar? Then, yes, those are tracked.

I've never seen schezophia in FBI crime statistics, whether committed BY or AGAINST people with mental disorders like schizophrenia.

From Google AI:

Data collected by the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program does not specifically track crime data in relation to individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia.
However, other research has explored the link between schizophrenia and criminal behavior:

I believe these all have 5 yr statutes of limitation. What Comey and Brennan statements/actions violated these statutes and when did they occur?

With Brennan:

1. There's an August 21, 2020 interview with Special Counsel John Durham; and

2. His sworn testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on May 11, 2023.

This is a strange situation. Gender dysphoria is a psychological condition or disorder. Do we track crime data by any other psychological disorder?

Trans is to gender dysphoria like wheelchairs are to polio or ALS. We definitely track statistics on people in wheelchairs and other disabilities. Any other claims you'd like debunked with three seconds thought?

Maybe it has happened somewhere else and you just quoted the wrong post, because in that comment he's not comparing gender dysphoria to polio or ALS.

 

[UNCatTech]

Zen's just 30 years behind the science on this issue and he's so stubborn he won't acknowledge it yet.

It's because that fits his worldview and hatred of Trans people that he continues to demonstrate.

Translation: it's tracked.

Man, does it give you a woody to post shit that falls apart upon even cursory inspection? You're like pulled pork. I'm saying that as generously as I can.

 

[UNCatTech]

Any opinions I share with Trump are a coincidence. I would never change an opinion to align with Trump.

No one said you changed an opinion to align with trump. The change wasn't necessary for you to align. What i said is that you align with trump quite often.

Trump: Probably within 2 weeks.
Reporter: Is that a firm 2 weeks?
Trump: Yes, that is firm, maybe, probably, mostly firm.

I didn’t see where you said tracked by FBI, just tracked.

 

[ZenMode]

I didn’t see where you said tracked by FBI, just tracked.

We were talking about what Trump did with crime surveys at a federal level. If we don't track crimes against schizophrenics, bipolar, etc at a federal level, it's understandable, or at least not horribly offensive, to not track gender dysphoria crimes.

It was really that simple.

 

[ChileG]

With all of the economic indicators being very good, it would take a special kind of idiot to fuck it all up.
And along comes Trump. Thanks, MAGA.

Damn....

Zen's like the 11th player at the court for a pickup basketball game.

Yeah, my misunderstanding from a cursory reading.
But the FBI does track hate crimes, including those motivated by bias against gender and also gender identity.
Also pretty simple.

One last thing, why didn't you respond to the belief that we shouldn't allow fellons to run for office, since NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!!!?

It's public record whether a candidate for office has been convicted of a felony. Let the voters educate themselves as to the nature and circumstanced of the felony conviction of the candidate and make a decision. Leave it up to the voters. That's what happened in November. "Convicted felon" was the battle cry of the Dems/media in the last election. The public considered the charge and decided to elect him anyway.

Like the sonar experiments that the Navy conducts.

ETA: this is that political cartoon from a tweet someone posted the other day, but with the image extracted for convenience. Still pretty spot-on.
