Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 21, 2018 Members Share Posted October 21, 2018 This time instead of risky loans made to homeowners, it is risky loans made to struggling companies. And with the weakening of Dodd-Frank, there are again, little protections if and when this C.L.O. situation implodes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sivad40 Posted October 22, 2018 Members Share Posted October 22, 2018 I don't care for the NYT but I just had to post this. And then they came for the transgenders. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/21/us/politics/transgender-trump-administration-sex-definition.html If this guidelines are implemented, I guess transgenders are back to square one as civil rights are concerned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 22, 2018 Members Share Posted October 22, 2018 The NYT can annoy me and I don't read them nearly as much as I used to (I used to consume the Sunday Times) but there are still some reporting that they are able to do well, when they don't get into their own way. Their local/New York City based reporting still rates pretty highly. There are a few stories, here and there, that you cannot find in other newspapers. So NYT still does some purpose for now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted October 22, 2018 Members Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) From said article: “on a biological basis that is clear, grounded in science, objective and administrable.” Oh, NOW they want to bring science into it? It's funny to me how science plays an important role in most conservatives' thinking on issues such as abortion or gender identity; yet, when it comes to climate change, something which every credible expert on the subject agrees is a serious threat to our country's safety and future, conservatives would rather stick their fingers in their ears and say, "LalalacreationismlalalaI'mnotlistening."

Members Juliajms Posted October 22, 2018 Members Share Posted October 22, 2018 One of the most vulnerable groups in our country, so of course that's who he attacks. I'm hoping this is just red meat for the base and they will back off after the election. He's a mean and petty person though, so I put nothing past him, no matter how delusional and stupid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted October 22, 2018 Members Share Posted October 22, 2018 One of the arguments that I hate most from Conservatives: "If we allow gender-neutral bathroom facilities in our nation's schools (and elsewhere), girls are more likely to be sexually assaulted!" First of all, do they even know or care how low the chances of that happening are? I think you're more likely to get mauled by that mythical bear that Betsy DeVos believes school employees should arm themselves against! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted October 23, 2018 Members Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) He (and Kanye) make me feel ashamed to be an African-American male. Also, why, in God's name, is SON futzing around with the board's formats AGAIN?? Edited October 23, 2018 by Khan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
