@MicroWave He served his country then betrayed his country. Now I have regrets and don't care about his.

@MicroWave Conservatives have repeatedly said that government should not be picking winners and losers. What changed?

@MicroWave Ponzi schemes by their nature are short-lived; According to Wikipedia, Charles Ponzi's original scheme ran just over a year before collapsing. All pyramid schemes require a pool of investors that is constantly expanding, which is not the situation with Social Security.

@MicroWave I'm rather impressed with the UK on this. I had expected them to cave immediately.

@LillyPip Also, they were just foot soldiers. We know how he feels about soldiers.

@Dagwood222 @MicroWave I think many of the J6 terrorists weren't caught until after Trump left office Jan 20. And those few who were caught early would have been sentenced too late for Trump to pardon them.

@partial_accumen I would suspect that a lot of transphobes are more hostile to MtF than FtM, if you could get inside their heads.

Note that the nightmare scenario most commonly invoked to promote laws concerning bathrooms is men in women's bathrooms, rarely the opposite.

Also, modern fashion has given women a lot of freedom to wear men's-style clothing, but men don't get the same. People seem to expect men to look like men and some get very set off when they don't.
