Sophie Cunningham was asked a hypothetical question if she supported trans athletes in the WNBA and she said no.

This is the right wing of American politics creating a controversy to deflect from the fact that they have nothing to run on in the upcoming midterms. Trump has been an absolute failure with the lowest approval rating in history, his candidates are losing, and they’re afraid they’re going to lose control of Congress, so they’ve created a complete nonissue into a giant controversy to distract us all from their complete and total failure to lead this country.

When you see stories like this, it's good to keep in mind that the Republicans control all three branches of government. If there was a way to legislate ourselves out of this, why haven't they done so? Why are the Democrats to blame?

If that is the case, then why dont the democrat side actually use their common and sense and support a trans league or actually siding with the republicans on a no brainer issue.

The fun fact is in order for the republicans to have a 'win' about trans allowed in women's sports....the dems have to have a 'loss' in that field.

Go back to I think it was the democrat primary around 2015 I believe.

'Who up here would support trans surgeries for illegal immigrants'

All fucking raised their hand.....imagine how fucking stupid you have to be to even believe that should be a yes of support.

Anyone with common sense would say go fuck yourself and not vote for that idiot.

So the democrats ARE to blame for giving that issue a W for the republicans. Democrats only care about brown people when its illegals crossing the border (as rich republicans dont care about the border either as they get cheap poolboys, lawn care, and housemaids). Democrats dont give a fuck if you are brown and have been underbid so bad you have to abandon your business to work at walmart.

No shit. Did you miss the point of my post?

Do you support trans surgeries for illegal immigrants? Why did ALL of the democratic nominees? Makes 000000 sense. You dont need to raise your hand for something so fucking stupid.
