Clinton should have picked her as a running mate. It would have taken some of the heat off her.

I think it is quite a good idea that these idiots reveal themselves before normal people have to interact with them. In the same way as having a “crosstika” on Twitter or describing themselves as “classically liberal” on Facebook makes it easy to avoid them online.

Well I'd say his tactic worked!

The best thing to do is ignore these people and don't give them the attention they crave. They want nothing more than to have someone go off on them so they can film it and get a viral video out of it. Just ignore and don't give these people a second thought as honestly it isn't worth your time.

There's US army bases in Europe and those MAGA hats pop up quite frequently...whether it's employees or family, I'm not sure.

Worth noting Fox News also plays on every TV.

Over here they're being sold in Poundland. I have no idea why.

He’s probably the only person to have strawberry floated both of them so he’s the best placed person to compare.

Well hopefully Russia and the US can keep us out of it. It'd help us with global warming.

Unfortunately the UK will get completely spanked in any nuclear exchange between the two superpowers as we're the second largest NATO military power.

Trump Administration Eyes Defining Transgender Out of Existence

The Trump administration is considering narrowly defining gender as a biological, immutable condition determined by genitalia at birth, the most drastic move yet in a governmentwide effort to roll back recognition and protections of transgender people under federal civil rights law.
Now the Department of Health and Human Services is spearheading an effort to establish a legal definition of sex under Title IX, the federal civil rights law that bans gender discrimination in education programs that receive government financial assistance, according to a memo obtained by The New York Times.

The department argued in its memo that key government agencies needed to adopt an explicit and uniform definition of gender as determined “on a biological basis that is clear, grounded in science, objective and administrable.” The agency’s proposed definition would define sex as either male or female, unchangeable, and determined by the genitals that a person is born with, according to a draft reviewed by The Times.

“Sex means a person’s status as male or female based on immutable biological traits identifiable by or before birth,” the department proposed in the memo, which was drafted and has been circulating since last spring. “The sex listed on a person’s birth certificate, as originally issued, shall constitute definitive proof of a person’s sex unless rebutted by reliable genetic evidence.”

The new definition would essentially eradicate federal recognition of the estimated 1.4 million Americans who have opted to recognize themselves — surgically or otherwise — as a gender other than the one they were born into.

I don't know how I still have the capacity for incredulity regarding the lows this administration goes to, yet they still consistently appall

Yep, Republicans just seem to run on the platform of being a bunch of banana splits and they get millions and millions of people voting for them.

It's like some Americans really are ready to punch themselves in the groin with insane healthcare costs and strawberry float all employment law as long as they can claim to be tough and not pansy liberals. It's completely bizarre.

The Republicans have managed to brainwash a huge amount of people into thinking the only people that deserve anything are the ultra wealthy or stock holders. They claim being poor is a choice and anyone who asks the government for anything is a parasite while at the same time saying anyone who wants maybe a reduction in the insane defence budget automatically wants to see the USA destroyed.

Anyone of middle or lower class is actively voting against their own interest for the betterment of the super rich and they are seemingly happy about that. Madness.

Transgenders aren’t people and nuclear treaties are over.

Just another normal day in the land of the free.
