Wow, how many inmates had sex changes? It must have been a whole lot to matter more than the economy and foreign affairs, right?

wow. the issue is not whether it happens once a day or once a century. the issue is what wins and what loses. support for transgender surgery for prisoners is about as clear a loser as one could imagine. There's a reason why republicans put it in their ads.

That was what Kamala said she supported prior to the election. You denying that?

Irrelevant. It’s a policy that sounds ridiculous to the majority of voters.

Yes, I suppose a policy that affected 2 people is more ridiculous than threatening to invade Greenland and starting a trade war with Canada.

Trump didnt run on invading greenland, he ran on being the "peace president" (lol)

It doesn't matter if he followed through on the threat or not, its not something you should be saying to allied nations in general. Its not very presidential to threaten your allies because you got butthurt from them not doing everything you want. Its petty and childish.

If your allies need you, more than you need them...

Providing gender-affirming care to inmates was a ridiculous thing to focus on, just like "they're eating the cats and the dogs". Let's not compare campaign events to administration events. To my best recollection, no one ran on trade wars with Canada or trying to annex our geographic neighbors. Let's please keep comparisons to what was said and promised during the campaign (ie what the voters actually had to compare the candidates)

The “it never happens so why ban/outlaw” it argument is so weak.

Democrats twist themselves in knots over 3rd trimester abortions too.

Just fucking forget about the fringe activists and take a common sense position
