Gender affirming care should never be a matter that is decided by the courts. This is a medical or health care decision by the parents and the child. That a court is getting involved at all is a disgrace. The other aspect of this is that this is something that affects a a tiny number of the population and is being blown totally out of proportion. What a waste of resources!

Legal Question: Donald & CO have completely destroyed my mental health. I know I am NOT the only one. Can we sue this administration for suffering?

I’m a retired lawyer. Never been closer to suicide. All attributable to the collapse of this great nation under Jabba the Hut

Thx to message boards of this sort and a relatively huge, educated family and two absolutely adorable grandkids, I am actually pretty well protected. Sending care your direction ( unless you’d prefer thoughts and prayers 🤣)

You mean, Jabba the Fugly Gutt, Bonnie? I can’t stand this orange POS either as he wears more makeup than a drag queen.

I always say that no matter who you are, no matter how many bad things happen as we move through life, all of us could count on the safety and security of our country. It was always there for us. That security is gone now. Is the financial system going to survive? Will our savings or our retirement funds continue to flow? Do we still have a social sense of right and wrong, and will our judicial system crumble under the weight of the lies it now faces daily? Will we enter a war that we cannot recover from? No joke. It's all on the line right now. It's safe to say we are adrift on a sea of uncertainty and where we land is anyone's guess. These questions have beaten me down. How do we weather this onslaught and keep our humanity, our very sanity?

It may sound trite...it's our numbers. It's our voices. We can't lose hope. We MUST stand together. It will take way longer to right everything they shredded. The louder we get, the more they fear us.

Find a Good Trouble Rally near you on 7/17. Our movement (combine ALL groups that are working together) scares them to death.

Meet their hatred with love.

The Orange Cheeto and the American Economic Collapse: Depression and Unemployment

Fortune magazine reports that almost 25% of the American work force is functionally unemployed https://bit.ly/4l9CX2B Those are Great Depression numbers, folks!!

Der Fuhrer and his clown show Nazi regime represent the trigger that will push an already recessed economy toward collapse much worse than the 2008 Lehman crisis The reason for this is Cheeto’s ridiculous tariff policy which almost all economic experts agree is an abomination Even the Murdoch owned Wall Street Journal sees the writing on the wall

Cheeto lied to the electorate so he could keep his ass out of jail and the America believed him Now with far right radical henchmen JD Vance and Curtis Yarvin, supported by billionaires like Thiel and Musk, Cheeto is unconsciously taking a wreaking ball to the economy As Vance has said, “private businesses have to feel the pain” and his compadre Yarvin feels that Americans “need to get over their dictatorphobia” And with voter suppression laws like the SAVE act and strategies like vigilante challenges by Nazis as happened in 2024, the democratic government may be on its last leg

Actually what may be ironically the saving grace for American democracy is that the Nazis piss off the electorate so badly the destroyed economy that there will be a Revolution 2.0 that will throw the Nazis out of power

See Macleod explain this in terms that most people can understand and how to protect yourself https://bit.ly/4jPDaI5

I absolutely 💯 % agree with you Dr. Bill as I believe that it will be something akin to the French Revolution where the real Americans will get so P. O. that they will start demanding the heads of the Trump family, their Reprobate ( aka Republican) sycophants, the Corporate Welfare Queens, as it’s going to be a bloodbath. But before it comes to that point, there needs to be a complete shutdown of the economy, ie. shutting down the ports in Seattle, Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Philadelphia, Miami? , New Orleans with long shoremen stepping off the job and protesting. Next, shutting down the airports in New York City, Philadelphia, Dallas, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle with airport security staff, maintenance workers, air traffic controllers, pilots and flight attendants going off the job and protesting. Next, shutting down the railway stations as railway conductors and support staff step off the job and start protesting. This strategy is to not allow any goods to come into the country and that nothing goes out either.Next colleges, universities and schools, hospitals , police and military personnel as this will bring the government and corporations to their knees. These fascist pricks need to be hit where it hurts them the most.

So intersex children get no relief. I am sorry people, but GOD does make errors. These kids have ALL the possible sex organs at birth and by the time of puberty THEY are ready to make a decision because they KNOW in their heart of hearts WHO they are. Sometimes a decision was made at birth by the Dr. and Parents. Maybe the WRONG decision. so NOW they have to wait till they are 18 for any sort of relief. So again Republicans claiming to be PRO LIFE, but not a comfortable one.

It's not "who they think they are" versus "who they are" as you said. It is who they think or sense they are versus who Republicans insist they must be.

I couldn’t be more enthusiastic about finding this show 6 months ago. Thank goodness you’re sharing the details and following the insane amount of criminal grifting this administration is blasting us by the minute.

Your podcast is the best for stepping deeper into interpretation of the law than the other podcasts. As a retired legal eagle, I especially appreciate you.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but, cisgender kids can get puberty blockers to delay early onset puberty. This is just a way to discriminate against trans questioning kids. We are going to see so much more mental health issues for these kids
