The last Morrell served as head of CIA was 2012-2013.

Why do I feel like any rube’s favorite documentary is The Da Vinci Code.

That is some funny stuff. The future Secretary of State used his potential office to interfere in an election with a truthful denunciation of a real Russian election interference op. It sounds like good statecraft. But not the same as a sitting president holding military aid up in an extortion attempt for "favors."

Maybe a dumb question time.
Unless I am mistaken (I very well may be) I believe randy is a Libertarian. Or at least "sides" with the Libertarian party.
So...... Based on what randy posts on here, right or wrong, I assume Libertarians are closer to Republicans than Democrats. Is that true?

Do you really think that is funny? Maybe you do but you have been posting "lol" at lot recently and I don't believe you are "literally" "lol" when you post it.
I have an ex girlfriend who would "literally" laugh out loud at things that she didn't think were funny.
At times it was terribly embarrassing for me when she would do it. One time she laughed out loud when someone was giving a very solemn eulogy.
I comprehend it's often a defense mechanism when people do that because they are uncomfortable but my guess is she is (or at least was) also clinically insane.
What's your excuse?

I think there is a reasonable debate to be had regarding trans men competing against women. The problem here is the reasonable part of it. This is meant to further marginalize a group of people for political show. The motivation is malice towards a small group of relatively powerless people for political gain.

as with most culture war issues, reasonable debate and nuance has gone completely out the window
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

Biden doesn't need to veto it because like many other corny things coming out of this current House of Reps, it won't make it out of the Senate.

It's not grandpa's Libertarian Party any more. Your should read the links on the libertarian thread if you want a better insight into how the party has morphed and who is now taking over the party. You can judge for yourself if you see any common threads in their new direction.

There is a lot of debate but zero of it is reasonable

Women shouldn't work their whole life just so some dude pretending to be a woman can beat them

Just make a separate competition for trans athletes to compete against eachother if they can't handle competing against their biological gender

And trans individuals participating in sporting events makes up about .001% of sports participants so you can see why this is such an important issue, maybe one of the most important issues in our country today. It effects every facet of our lives from inflation, to access to medical care, to national security and economic growth. KUDOs to the trumpertarian party for realizing this and taking it so seriously and spending the monumental effort to properly legislate it. lol
