    The Tarriff Hype.

    He talks a lot. Not much follow-through. Trump doesn't have policies, he has applause lines. All along the theme of "You've been cheated/hurt/robbed, and I'm gonna get vengeance for you!" He'll probably impose some tariffs and claim victory, but it'll be a small fraction of what he's...

    Trans Rights

    When I was in West Berlin, we used to say. . . "The Germans are demonstrating again." "Oh? What are they protesting?" "Their inability to win a war." Meh, maybe I'm just jaded. Washington DC has protests and demos all the damn time. I can't be bothered, except to look up the effects on...

    Trans Rights

    Prax's point seems to be "Any action other than official actions through a Hurt Feels Tribunal or the courts is WRONG!" Which kinda flies in the face of what we would call First Amendment freedoms, and I'm sure shows up someplace in the Charter.

    Trans Rights

    I'm neither deflecting nor avoiding. You said, quote, I'm pointing out that taking action through the legal system was not the only action they took. I have no doubt there are complaints of discrimination against trans people working their way through the system right now. But that's not the...

    Trans Rights

    So. . . Canada had no demonstrations or other non-legal (as opposed to illegal) actions for racial, sex, or other rights? No Suffragettes? No FN demos? No gay rights parades?

    Pacific Palisades Fire

    Little known fact, just for you. . . Contrary to popular belief, a vacuum cleaner is widely called a "hoover," not because "Hoover" is a popular and widespread brand of suck brooms, but named for Herbert Hoover, President of the United States from 1929-1933. Cuz he sucked.

    Trans Rights

    Nope, they're ineffective because some people feel they're ineffective. So those people work in other ways to bring about change. Which seems to upset you terribly.
