    LBGTQ

    In Kansas, as a Gen Xer to play sports in high school required a physical, including the good old "turn your head and cough" mass physical that F250 experienced. Middle school did not, at least when I was in it. I assume it is the same now. In my town, lucky students got their parents to take them to their family doctor and the rest of us, who were poor or had cheap parents, went to the locker room for the free sports physical and lined up completely naked to go through processing. Basically a bunch of doctors and coaches. Coaches did shit like weighing and height that anyone could do and the doctors were spread around the room. One checked for hernias, one blood pressure, heart beat, etc. The worst is for some reason they inspected our fucking assholes. No finger, but the whole bend over and spread your cheeks prison style. That was the most degrading, since you had a bunch of other dudes standing in line behind you. No idea what girls had to go through for their free physical day. After that fun experience as a freshman, I figured out that if I waited to decide to play sports until after the mass free physical day, that happened a week or two before HS football practice started, my parents would pay for the family doctor to do the physical. So my freshman year was the only time I had to do the free group physical. In the immortal words of that simpleton GWB, "That was some weird shit." What is most fucked up about this new KS law (besides the genital thing), if I remember correctly, is that when I was in school cis males could play in female sports, if there was not a men's team in the same sport. Like males could not play on a female basketball team since there was a male team; however, for sports like volleyball and gymnastics you could compete on those teams since in Kansas, at that time, there were no male teams in those sports. The reason I remember is that I was a fantastic volleyball player so I was told I could play on the female team since there was no male volleyball team, if I wanted, by some coach. I declined, but the option was there. Cis females could do the same for male sports with no female version like wrestling or football. Funny that cis men could have played on some female teams in the past (not sure of the current rules as I left that state a couple decades ago), but now with Republicans on a trans witch hunt the last few years, it is suddenly important to keep trans females off female teams. The good news is that the KS Supreme Court is much more liberal than the legislature (5 D and 2 R and 1 of those R is a moderate who voted pro-abortion in the past ), so hopefully they block it or at least get rid of the most heinous parts of it. Forced genital inspections is fucking dumb, since you can just require the original birth certificate or another non intrusive proof of sex at birth, if this law is allowed to stand. I can't see forced inspections being allowed to stand by the KS Supreme Court. Now the US Supreme Court on appeal is an entirely different animal. I hope they find some kind of fair solution to this as competing in sports is a mostly positive experience at a time in teens lives where they are going through some shit, especially teens who are LBGTQ.
  3. Has to be Manchin and Sinema. Those 2 are most likely to cross lines on votes among Dems.
  4. Meidas Touch has a nice video summarizing it all. Thomas is so stupid he did not report anything at all, for years, as required by law (see video thumbnail). He is like the waiter or waitress who reports no tips. Not sure how much teeth the penalty for not reporting has. Knowing our government they will just let him amend the previous reports. There is no way the Republicans will impeach him and reduce their advantage in the court to 5-4, and dude has no shame, so he will not resign. Be interesting so see what the other justices report each year.
  5. You know it is Fake Melania because she is holding his hand.
  6. Nothing like waking up in Asia to a Trump indictment and MAGA tears in my cup. This was seen as the weakest of the cases, 34 counts probably means they got more serious dirt than just the Stormy pay off not to talk about Trump's micro phallus. Going to be funny to see the idiots he scrounges up to represent him in all these court rooms he will be inhabiting soon.
  7. If the Russians really want to learn a deadly skill from Steven Seagal they should have him teach their soldiers how to run. The Ukrainians will die of laughter.
  8. Looks like we need a bunch of unarmed, AARP-eligible bouncers and doormen to protect our schools. They seem to be doing a better job of dealing with mass shootings lately than the police or good guys with guns.
  9. The first rule of Dunning-Kruger club, is you do not know you are in Dunning-Kruger club.
  10. I mean I really dislike Trump, but it seems pretty extreme to crucify him; however, if his followers want him crucified so he can rise again in 3 days, who am I to stand in the way of this science experiment.
  11. He makes Trump's "whacking two dudes off" dance move look like Michael Jackson's moonwalk compared to whatever this is.
  12. This person is Trump supporting, right leaning trans youtuber and if she no longer has a bulge it is because she had gender affirming surgery that the side she supports rails against. So many former left leaning or moderate youtube hypocrites grifting the right now. Many I remember watching when they were getting started. Then they saw they made more money and got more views when they posted videos agreeing with the right so they sold out totally to make that sweet cash. Dave Rubin, Candice Owens, and this chick are the worst since they basically shit on their own marginalized communities for money.
  13. To be honest the point escapes me. Could you please elaborate on the hookers and trampolines?
  14. He is being unmasked as a dishonest person since he knows the truth and chooses to disseminate the lie. Faux News slogan should be "Biased and slanted."
  15. A couple weeks ago they revived the investigation and were supposed to present information to a grand jury sometime soon.
  16. A lot of countries have investment visas where if you keep a set amount of money in a country, or invest it in a business there, they will give you a special visa and some you can even get citizenship after a time. The amounts vary from country to country with wealthier countries usually requiring more investment. Here is South Korea's for example. If you have a stable monthly cash flow from social security, pension, etc. you can get retirement visas in many countries.
