You must be the bigot. Nobody else is deriving that from anything he said

Do you understand what the phrase "involuntary commitment" means?

And you are aware of the long history of police officers inaccurately reporting that someone was "violent" so that they could treat them with disregard and arrest them without true cause? And how it has been used over and over to detain and arrest people who should not have been, thus violating their precious rights as citizens that Republicans claim are so dear to them?

But they’re not separate, man! Not in Vivek’s own words!

Again, Vivek is very very very good with words. If he did not want to link trans issues to crime issues, he wouldn’t put them under the same mental health umbrella.

He knows what he’s doing, and you’re too distracted by shiny objects to see the play.

Nobody's locking trans people up you fucking moron. Unlessss, they commit violent crimes

Being trans is not a crime

All you have to do to be guilty of a "violent crime" is to pull your arm away from a police officer who unjustly takes hold of it, even if you had your back turned and didn't recognize that it was a police officer. If you bump them in the process, you are now also guilty of assaulting an officer.

Right. Will there be a stated policy that trans = insane asylum? No.

But when you establish that trans is a mental illness, and you establish that what you do with some mentally ill people is stick them in insane asylums, you're leaving a TON of room for itchy prosecutors/officials to, with a given set of facts, do some very evil shit.

This is why words matter.

Lump trans in with other "mental illnesses", and pursue "involuntary commitment"* as something you do with some people who are mentally ill, and bad things will happen to trans people and/or people who provide services to them.

* That this "involuntary commitment" would include "faith-based" programming is a screeching, blaring, wailing red siren.

i thought it was well-known that conversion therapy was a hoax (and most often has done more harm than good)

Why would you question the ulterior motives Republican officials? And by the way Roe v Wade is settled law.

It is. You will also lose your license if you engage in it. Completely without scientific merit and totally unethical.

Tucker has requested an interview with putin. That would be pretty epic for the American people to get an unfiltered interview of putin and his views on this whole ukraine/russia/us situation

The American people are. They don't know shit about putin or Russia. Just "Russia bad/stand with ukraine" as the mainstream media has dictated

When in reality there is a ton of corrupt shit going on between the US/Ukraine and has been for awhile. Especially when you get into bribe money given to biden, foreign aid, Cia interference in ukrainian government, and us biolabs in Ukraine

I would expect every national reporter on every network to have "requested an interview with Putin" and I think they should be fired and blackballed from the profession if they have not.

And for the record, if Tucker Carlson did interview Putin, that would be great. I'd obviously rather have the interview be done by a competent reporter than such a cheesy huckster with zero integrity or talent for the true profession of news reporting but any time the US government and intelligence agencies get an opportunity like that, you'd be foolish not to take it. Those who would be fooled have already been fooled. There is a lot to be learned by what lies he is willing to say on such a stage. I don't care who gets the interview, I'd be interested in seeing it.

Again, spreading disinformation. Putin has thousands of people. His time is nearly over. Tucker's already is. He is a dead-eyed sycophant of evil. Hell of a resume.

You're an American. You don't know shit about Putin or Russia. If you don't think/know "Russia bad" then you are even dumber than I thought.

There has been and probably still is corrupt shit going on between the USA and Russia too.
Ukraine BLAH BLAH BLAH. Yes, the USA/Biden is in bed with Ukraine/Zelenskyy. Yes, there is probably some bullshit and scummy things going on. It's not wrong to be outraged if true but of all people, you want PUTIN to chime in on it and you trust him to be truthful? VGR! WTF is the matter with you?

"UNFILTERD"!!!

You really are an ignoramus.
