Biden Presidency

[Irish#1]

I don't want anyone inconvenienced - do you even hear yourself? Men masquerading as women and you don't want the meet to go long. Don't refuse to play, refuse to compete. F up the event for everyone, because until it affects everyone it won't be handled appropriately. Administrators are responsible, maybe a few inconvenienced milquetoast can tip the scales in the right direction.

I would rather they refuse to compete and let the boy run by himself rather than make a single event last for an hour. Making it go an hour is excessive, at that point it just comes off as petty. Simple walking the event sends the same message and would still bring attention. Believe me, I'm as strong as they come when it relates to protecting fairness in women's sports. The girls doing shot put went about it the right way, it brought attention to their situation and it wasn't excessive.

Both valid points. The biggest problem with not competing IMO, is getting everyone to agree not to compete. Most articles about these situations typically show many still compete against the transgender.

In fairness, how do you tell a kid or young person to not run, swim, wrestle, play, etc.?

You can't see the forest for the trees. You're going to alienate supporters by being petty if you run a 1 hour track and field event. It's completely excessive, you can send a strong message without going to the extreme. I've been probably the most vocal supporter when it comes to protecting women's sports on here, trust me when I say I've picked my side. Your solution is basically the equivalent of getting a group to sit down to block traffic on a highway. You don't change anyone's mind by doing that, all you do is piss people off that otherwise might have supported you.

Imagine you're unbiased and attending two different track events. Both track events go viral on social media. One involves the girls stretching a 400 meter relay out an hour. The other event involves the girls slowly walking the event together with arms locked, it lasts 4-5 minutes. Both garner national attention. Which is more likely to gain your support, the girls walking hand in hand, or the hour long event you sat through?

The people on the highway have no right to be there. They should be drug off and anyone who supported them getting there in the first place drug into daylight with them to be prosecuted for the civil damages they cause. Likewise these dudes have no right to be in a girls event and should be removed with the people promoting their presence in the wrong race lambasted in daylight. The entire point is to make the race officials take action. When they take action against the oppressed group they are now hypocrites and tyrants.

I do see your point that you may be pissing off those who may otherwise support you. The larger win is prompting a national debate on effective protest on the issue. Your argument is to say the filibuster is a terrible way to make a point. This fantasy high ground seems to do nothing but give ground.

I'd say making them compete against dudes does a pretty good job of telling them to stay home.

We're seeing women start to stand up for themselves by boycotting events in various sports. The more this happens and the more people that get on board, the sooner change will come. In the last few years we've already seen a number of world organizations put a ban on trans women competing against biological women. We've seen the NAIA do the same here in the states. We need the NCAA and other organizations here to get on board next.

You can't and TBH, I would guess there are a number of them that don't care about this stuff and want to compete given everything they've put into it.

Good Lord.

The leader of the free world right there, folks. Damn, he makes me proud. Don't tell me he ain't sharp as a tack!

The guy is as entertaining as Trump!

Probably not high lol, likely going from oval to rectangle.

Women's Sports. The defining issue of our time.

We're so utterly fucked.

Funny enough, the rise of "traditional house roles" in the Red Pill universe that wants go back to old times where women had limited rights goes unaddressed but hey at least there's going to be more legislation from the party of Small Government!

All the shit going on in this country, on this planet, and girls high school sports is the hill some people want to die on.

To each their own I guess.

Hunter can use the funds he never got and set Joe up with a private nurse.

It’s right up there w/ privileged guilt-ridden white Ivy Leaguers protesting a war for social status. #RadicalChic

Yes…we are utterly screwed.

Jfc…. Thank god none of this shit can/will get through Congress.

He's definitely been pushing the idea of going after the wealthy. Just a few.
FWIW, I'm all for billionaires paying their fair share, and most pay quite a bit already. I'd like to see spending cut and help out the middle class.

The problem is how they are given their salaries... so that a lot of their wealth is tax free/deferred that bothers a lot of people. We also have the whole corporate tax rate issue, which is always talked about being raised. The corporations then threaten to just up and leave the country, rather than pay rates they did when America "was great."

Then you throw in CEO salaries in comparison to average worker pay, and the gulf between them that has grown wider since the 70s, and the golden parachutes provided to CEOs and others who are ousted, and you are left with a lot of folks who feel the rich aren't taxed enough/or make too much.

There is probably a balance that can be struck, but in the end we end up with nothing getting done, veiled threats by companies "promising to leave jobs" here and blame the Dems, empty campaign promises by Dems to sure up the corporate tax structure, and the hollow words of Repubs who claim they will have businesses invest in our workers and pay proper wages across the board.

Meet the new boss; Same as the old boss....

Didn’t they do something a while back that eliminated or greatly reduced Golden Parachutes?

Tough to fire someone that hits the trifecta for inclusion.

This. For starters, I’d settle for both sides (Congress + POTUS) getting together on common ground like they did in ‘94 w/ a plan that balanced the budget & gave us a surplus. It was far from perfect & both sides had their slimy personalities but it was one of the last times I can remember where both “worked” together w/ a semi-positive outcome. I say “semi” b/c I know that it wasn’t perfect but from a macro view it showed cooperation that this country is in need of.

Kinda hard to oust the lady that runs Joe's social media accounts, she speaks for the President on a regular basis.

I laughed, but realized they're probably right

I was reading about that earlier. One of the few things Joe has done I can agree with.
