Current Affairs The Would Be Emperor Has No Clothes (aka POTUS 47)

Is “alleged sex trafficker Matt Gaetz” acceptable then, given that’s been widely reported in the media?

Let he who has not been accused of sex trafficking and statutory rape cast the first stone.

Wait a second, what's this queue in front of me with stone vendors doing a roaring trade?

$315 billion to repatriate 13 million immigrants. That's a nice earner for Trump's mates in the human hunting industries.

So he is setting it up for the republicans to vote against it? Not a smart move imo
If they want to install a king it needs to be entirely on their actions

I would very much doubt that anybody takes it lightly, you may not mean it exactly like I have read it but it reads like you think they are just sitting there and going 'You know what I'm going to get rid of my penis tomorrow' or the alternative 'Oh, those penises sound good, might go to the doctors tomorrow and see if they have any in stock'.

People talk about this subject in such a blasé manner, a way that they feel that the person involved hasn't thought about this for their whole life.

I would say that their doctors, and other people involved would give them a lot of consultations, going through the physical and emotional aspects of the procedure, etc. I would personally refrain from saying therapy as there is an implication that they need to be 'cured'.

As this is a thread revolving around politics, I would also add that this issue should never be politicised. It is the personal choice of that person to do whatever they feel they need to do to feel comfortable in themselves. As a society it is a humanity issue, are you a person that wants to declassify somebody because they are different to you?

'After that... each to their own' - What you may mean is after society has put them through the ringer for feeling 'different', after they have been pushed to change their mind, made to feel like a second class citizen, made to feel like they are just 'going through a rebellion phase', a bit of angst, then once they have got through that without killing themselves then 'each to their own'.

Well a lot of leaps there.
Of course it’s a big issue and for the most part it’s taken seriously.
I suppose what I’m saying is you need to guard against a child making a decision and being on a a conveyor belt.
Kids can get entrenched in decisions, I just think they need space to reverse.

It’s a contentious issue for a lot of people. I am happy for any adult to to make their own choices. But I can tell you that all schools have children that do make this decision as form of rebellion, some time it is a cry for help.
No one needs to be talked out of it, but a cooling off period in early adulthood, where you can learn the magnitude and permanent nature of this decision, is sensible.

Was Trump not sentenced for any of his multiple convictions?

He was not. That was due to occur following the election, if he lost.

Now he never will be sentenced.
