I love the stupid shite whitey comes out with sometimes hahahahha


Lol-Elizabeth Warren actually has a position on this matter and if you disagree with it her supporters will jump all over you and call you a transphobe

You've been jumped on and called a transphobe by her supporters?

If so, for objecting to which part of her position?

J70-do you think the taxpayers should be on the hook for prisoners gender reassignment surgery?

Do you think males athletes be able to self identify as female and then apply for college scholarships?

If you answered no to either question, then you are a homo/trans phobe according to many on the left?
Should tax payers be on the hook for plutocrats, Whitey ?
That is the bigger question.

Top 10% already pay 70% of all income taxes

How much more would you like them to pay?

What is the level of income of those 10^?

Given the top 10% have over 99% of the wealth, I'd be expecting them to pay more than 70% of taxes. [note - not income taxes alone]

This is probably worth a read:

No news or google available to you?

Abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

Median wages have been stagnant for 40 years. It's only a matter of time before the rich get soaked and payrises restart. That is how the game works.

$100 billion of taxpayers' money spent per year on corporate welfare and the right wants us to worry about the health bills of a handful of transgender inmates.

My. Good. God.

I'm not worried about it in the least......but I think it's fantastic that it has actually become a real issue in the Democratic Primary

Sanders is pretty good at keeping the conversation focused on the "handful of billionayas," Warren is pretty good at it too.

Its a "real issue" in the primary, or a candidate has expressed their support? Maybe I haven't been paying enough attention, but the issue of convicted criminals receiving gender reassignment surgey is not one I remember hearing about this year.

I remember a few years back, Jon Huntsman coming out in support of action to combat climate change.

Did that make the GOP the party of reason and scientific understanding back then?

Well it's relevant enough that Bill Maher has taken to the airwaves to tell her to STFU about it

(Maybe it's gotten more airplay in Boston because it's a 180 to her position on the matter in her Senate race against Scott Brown in 2012)

Society in general has changed on trans people in the past decade. Warren is hardly alone in changing her positions on it. Fact is most people had probably given it little thought at all before then.
The GOP is still struggling with gay marriage while the rest of the western world has accepted it and moved on.

Fantastic. That settles it then.

Nancy stalling on sending articles of impeachment to senate , I wonder why?
Hopefully she has a nice walk around her home town over the holidays and is able to avoid the thousands of homeless and the shit and piss everywhere in the streets of sf not to mention the rampant rise in thieves who actually walk into stores with calculators so they can steal just below the $950 limit that makes the crime a felony , welcome to San Francisco California a one party state
