The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships.

The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, “beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.”

There are great Brits. I have been friends with a few and they normally are the first ones to tell you they don't understand why Brits will defend the way the UK and more specifically England works. The biggest running joke of all time is "do you have a license for that?"

The actual verdict on the specific issue is genuinely incoherent.

How would anyone know that they hadn't appointed 50% women when you can't legally ask if people are trans?

"Biologically female". I just....can't. The conservatives can't even define that term in any way that is scientifically correct or meaningful. And we're basing law on this nonsense. Brain biology? Chromosomes? Superficial characteristics, that's what *they* mean.

it sounds more like she never transitioned but is using a "I transitioned and then detransitioned" narrative to gain cred with credulous rubes looking for justification for their bigotry

basically she seems to have been raised with so much hatred that she's made it her personal identity to hate

This isn't The Art of the Deal.
It's insider trading with a bad comb-over.

Step 1: Tank the Market, Scare the Non-Millionaires
Step 2: Let the Aristocrats Feast
Step 3: Flip, but say ‘Winning’
Step 4: Pretend None of This Ever Happened & Get Your Media Dregs To Do The Same

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

The stock market is so bad that Fox News removed the stock ticker that they’ve been showing for 28 years for the first time because they didn’t want their viewers to see the truth of what was happening in real time.

This LNP Government promised no cuts to our hospital projects or health system.

Now that’s just another broken promise.

David Crisafulli needs to step up and reverse his decision, so the community can get the expansion that they were promised and they need.

Since David Crisafulli became Premier, ambulance ramping has increased month on month.

It’s now at 40.5%.

That’s after they promised that they’d drive down ramping wait times.

And his solution is to gut Labor’s hospital expansion program.

Donald Trump has released a new EO to "eradicate anti-Christian bias."

What is one of the examples of "anti-Christian bias" cited in his order? The recognition by Biden of Transgender Day of Visibility, which fell on the same day as Easter Sunday last year.

1. Yesterday, Representative Nancy Mace shouted an anti-trans slur into the microphone at a congressional hearing three times in a row.

When pointed out that she was egregiously breaking decorum, the chair ruled she was not.

The real truth about the right wingers on Twitter is that they don't actually care about science, evidence etc. They will cite a random scant few reports, here and there, but they're not actually interested in it. They don't believe the scientists. They just want an excuse to hate trans people.
