Streeting is more than happy to ignore medical evidence and science if it helps him punish trans people for wanting to exist... the fact he is on the right side here is luck more than anything else.

But that would require a level of logic, honesty and consistency beyond the "feels are more important than facts" crowd.

If the housemate was also a Fuentes acolyte, telling the press and/or authorities that he was the alleged shooter's "boyfriend" and that he was "transitioning to become a woman" would be very much in character, and in line with their weird meme cannot-express-an-honest-view everything-is-both-a-joke-and-serious-until-the-response-has-been-observed logic.

They realise this, which is why they are so shocked by what happened to Kirk. They're not used to it being *their* people at risk. They are the cowardly bully who encourages violence against someone they know will never fight back, and relishes in it; liberals and progressives are generally a "safe" target to go for (in many ways) because they will choose to rise above it. Not that leftist violence doesn't happen occasionally, but it tends to target property, not people.

Nah, the other 2 know that this will just be abused by the Conservatives and press to attack everyone else, as the current reporting requirements already are. The corrupt politicians will just lie or hide stuff.

This work would be smart, but is wrong on many levels. Judges in England don't wear wigs like that in court any more (and haven't for a long time). If that is meant to be commentary on criminal law, criminal cases aren't heard in the building but around the corner at the Old Bailey. Also judges in England and Wales have never used hammers... I get the message, but also I can imagine it annoying all the professionals working there just for how wrong it is.

We also live in a time when stupid people are whining about being silenced because they're saying really stupid things. Unfortunately far too many of them think they are the intelligent people being silenced to not offend stupid people.

But what is illegal in one place may be legal in other places, which can be an issue with multinational companies like MasterCard (and Steam).

To be fair, Donald Trump is a white college graduated man. As is Elon Musk. in the US college-graduated can mean "studied hard and learnt about the world" or it can mean "had rich and well-connected parents."

You missed option three; insist the conspiracy goes even deeper. Now some of them are accusing Maurene Comey of destroying or doctoring the evidence, and that she was fired because of it, because she's a lying Democratic liar and part of the Deep State.

No, it gives the Supreme Court *all* the power, because they get to decide, on a case by case basis, which law needs to be followed, by whom, and in what circumstances. They can say "this person cannot do this thing because of this law" but in a later case that a different person can. But only they get to do that because they get the final say.

They were trafficked *to Epstein*. That is what the indictment against Maxwell alleged.

Oddly enough, neither the Biden, Bush or Obama - not even Clinton - are in the Little Black Book at all. Trump is, and is one of the ones highlighted as being involved. You can look through it if you like, it is all over the Internet. The people alleged to have been involved in the crime are highlighted. Most of them are dead - other than Trump there isn't anyone particularly powerful now. Mostly mid-level millionaires and fraudsters.

Maxwell was convicted of "conspiracy to transport minors with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity", "transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity" and "sex trafficking a minor." The person named as doing the "criminal sexual activity" was Epstein. The indictments didn't name any other person as being involved (just persons unknown). There was no list of specific people who committed crimes - just lists of people Epstein and Maxwell hung out with.

Most likely the "client list" is his actual client list, for the investment companies he managed, as part of his whole "social networking" thing for mid-level rich white men. The young women and girls weren't the point for most clients, they were just part of the entertainment package. Figuring out (and proving) who was actually committing crimes is likely to be all but impossible.

"To summarize, the most recent version of the legislation, as of this writing, would send approximately $75 billion to ICE — not $48.5 billion — through Sept. 30, 2029. That does not include ICE's base budget, which Trump proposed $11.2 billion for in budget year 2026." The $10bn a year is the estimate for how much the bas funding will be. The new $75bn total is on top of that. Less than the Russian Military, though, which on paper is around $75bn per year.

Isn't that kind of the other way around though? In the Star Trek example she was right; there wasn't anything wrong with her, the problem was with her universe.

Until 2020 it was run by a former LGBT+-rights campaigner, and head of Stonewall. The Conservatives replaced it with a former liberal politician with strong, anti-trans views, and she has been very vocal about using the power of the EHRC to go after trans people at any opportunity. However, in this case they're mostly following a bizarre ruling from the Supreme Court.

These are the same method, mathematically. They're doing the same calculations, with the same numbers, and getting the same answer (obviously). One is doing it graphically, one with arabic number notation. Ideally you give students a bunch of different ways to do it, and let the student pick which way works best for them.

Whoever made the graphic is saying that (that the symbols somehow translate to MS13 - for no particular reason other than that they want an excuse to punish this person). I think the confusion is that Donald Trump is too blind and too stupid to see or realise that, so he thought that the MS13 was actually part of the tattoo, and treated it that way.

So it probably *was* written in part by an AI. The guy speaking is Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, Michael Kratsios, who has a degree in politics, and is a Thiel minion. He has no background in science or technology. He's a big "AI" person, but from the venture capital side ("slap AI on it and charge twice as much"), not the computer science side.

The UK doesn't need Donald Trump to tell us to bash trans people, our press and politicians are perfectly capable of doing that on their own.

The UK literally just rolled back 20 years of protections for trans people.

Not "biological women", people who were allocated "female" on their birth certificate at birth. Biology isn't directly involved, despite the terminology. The ruling effectively invalidates any Gender Recognition Certificates trans people have got over the last 20 years.

The judge did say that. He wasn't being entirely honest. This ruling means that the few trans people who did go through the whole process to get an official certificate confirming their new gender/sex wasted their time - those certificates are now worthless. It also confirms that trans-inclusive, single-sex spaces are now presumptively illegal. The terfs are right to celebrate; the court accepted everything they said.

That's not fair - Donald Trump was arrested!

No, that's played by one of the other directors (Beth Park). Beth has spoken at length on the trauma of seeing one of her professional heroes (Elijah Wood) choose the "kick" option on her squirrel, during a demo...
