@jessesingal These “gender clinics” are exactly the same as the “pain clinics” (pill mills) that were purposely established in order to write prescriptions for opioids with little to no medical justification. They are set up to facilitate “transition” and not for actual medical care.

@sebasbensu @wesyang Aldi is quite similar to TJs in its offerings and the “private label” model (makes sense, same ownership). But the demographic of the shoppers is extremely different: Poor people looking for cheap stuff that’s actually kind of good and interesting.

@ACLU This is literally like saying since Billy Jean King beat an aging Bobby Riggs in some silly contest years ago, Roger Federer should be able to participate on the women's side at Wimbledon and that would be fair. Actually, if Roger decided to become a woman, @Aclu would be all 👏.

@NanAron I wasn't familiar with this nominee, so I googled her, She seems extremely well qualified to me, so I'm afraid I don't agree with your overtly partisan characterization of sneaking her onto the bench. If BHO nominated her, you'd have called her brilliant.

@monitoringbias In my legal career, I ran into a number of licensed lawyers whose work product seemed to be that of a person with no legal training whatsoever – so much that I went to google to try to determine if they were imposters. Several were Ivy grads. Guess what they all had in common?

@SaraCarterDC If the police had appeared, this guy would likely have attacked them and perhaps been shot or cuffed, and this incident would be portrayed on the news as "yet another black victim of police brutality." Looting and rioting would then ensue.

@NanAron By the way, I also looked at the ridiculous AFI "report" on her. It is a tendentious pile of garbage which relies on her agreement with Justice Scalia's Windsor defense to essentially argue that she's a bigot. It's the worst sort of partisan hackery.
