Yeah, ain’t no damn body with a lick of sense buying that bullshit that those dudes “ don’t care” lololol. They’re here every day like the rest of us. Nothing wrong with that- this shit is fun. I love it. I want more people posting here more often- all ideological bents welcome. But, yeah, go on and get on outta here with this “we’re too busy doing other things…

Every day? Check my posting history, I posted way less ever since the immediate aftermath of the election until literally the last few days. The plane crash sucked me back in (so sad), not some goofy executive order by Trump or something.

A week or two ago I finally logged in here after a couple weeks away and there was a thread of people asking if you were ok because I think you were taking a similar break from politics! A good thing, btw. Nothing wrong with that and something we should all do.

But just odd for you to make this post above coming fresh off the heels of your own extended break from the noise here.

Similarly to what you posted upon your return, lots going on at home since the election. Busy season at work, 3 month old, 3 year old, etc. Have had way more going on this January than feuding with a board full of liberals about politics when we are 22 months until the next significant election, ha!

Lol. I ain't checking anyone's posting history, man. I literally could not care less about how often someone does or doesn't post. My point was in responding to another poster who was laughing at y'all for acting like you "don't care" or are somehow above the fray of caring about politics.

Oh, and I didn't "take a break from politics" or "from the noise here." The end of the calendar year is the busiest time of the year for me professionally. Coupled with working to put a house on the market in one city, looking to buy or build in another city, and just generally spending time with family over the holidays, I just didn't have the inclination to post. I still read most every day. It's not like Donald Trump winning an election was somehow some impetus for my not posting here on the ZZLP for a month in December. You must not know me well enough if you think that the outcome of an election in either direction negatively impacts my mental or emotional well-being, or if you think that a friggin' internet message board is something that I take seriously enough to "need a break from the noise."

No. The Persistence and others are doing a great job registering new Republican voters in Penn and NJ. Cali may get red pilled.

I guess they are using the trump plan of just lying and telling everyone what they want to hear.

When they see the results of his policies...

I mean, to this point he basically only decreased the efficiency of government and increased unemployment. And he has shown the mob boss / dictator approach that he wants to use.
 
i enjoy the drama queens and the holier than thou attitudes on messageboards. its the same ole pissing contests that are absolutely meaningless....no diff than life.

Have you looked up the stats on how many tax payer funded sex changes there have been in the prison system?

There's something to be said for not being able to disavow such a ridiculous premise at face value., regardless if not one illegal, incarcerated transgender prisoner ever gets a taxpayer-funded sex change operation.

I think his accountants are still compiling the data that shows the 2020 election was stolen.

It's a very serious post. What is the policy? What things are actually being advanced in a way that won't be enjoined immediately by courts? What things are being done for substance rather than theater?

I, too, would be interested in calla's opinion regarding the positive things Trump has done since taking office. Earlier he asked us liberals if we thought Trump had done anything that is positive since taking office. I can't think of anything positive that he has done, but I'm open to hearing Calla list the positives since Trump took office.

Hard to debate when most of the comments are geared to how bad trump is vs actually talking about policy. I can’t do it from an iPad but someone should start a thread topic on “Good Moves By Trump”. Would highlight who the “serious” and objective posters are vs those that have terminal TDS. If you can’t identify a single positive action then you are just a board simp.

We are still awaiting for you to name one on the other thread.

Two things. It's a Trump era law and the courts forced compliance in the two cases that had happened through last year after numerous challenges. Iow, it's not unconstitutional and it's hardly a drain on the system.

Fair enough. I still maintain that taking a break from posting like the one you took after the election is healthy for all of us from time to time, no matter what causes it in each specific case (busy life in your case, Trump fatigue or paranoia for others, or whatever else). Politics is a fun hobby and some here like it far more than I do even, but it’s also super toxic. Of all times to take a break, I bet there are many more who took a break from reading and/or posting right after the election just like you and I both did. There’s a void of political stuff to talk about when elections are over.

Point being, there are plenty of people here who don’t read the board every day or even close to it, especially now that it isn’t attached to IC (which I admittedly do legitimately read every day). So just because me or callatoroy or other conservatives don’t come on here to condemn Trump every time Trump farts in church or something, it might be true that we just don’t know or care about the fart.

It's quite literally the thread that holds my greatest interest. So far, we've essentially seen some mild cheering for the revanchist and grift intending DOGE disaster.

Yeah, I’m not going to let these guys claim non-existent victories like they did during Trump 1.0.
Remember the “China agreed to buy hundreds of billions of soy beans from us because of Trump!!!” That it never happened (as predicted by anyone with a brain) didn’t stop them from claiming a victory. No more giving Trump credit just because he claims something will happen in the future.
Likewise, I won’t give him an L for things I think will result in disaster until the disaster actually happens.

What other medical rights do we strip from prisoners? If someone goes to jail are they no longer human and should they no longer have their medical needs addressed?

The bigger picture is we should stop targeting LBGTQ people to marginllize and deny rights. This needs to be looked at from an equality and medical stand point. When a person becomes a prisioner they do lose some rights as a condition of their incarceration. The question here is which medical rights should they lose?

People who are clearly against LBGTQ rights want to focus on a specific case or procedure, but this shouldn't be that granular. It should encompass all medical rights of prisoners. Do the maintain or lose medical rights as a condition of their incarceration.
