Watch what NDT hits him with at the end. (Long Distance)

One of your moves.

Zero clue what any of this has to do with me

But my points on college swimming/lia Thomas were rather simple

1) college swimming programs are getting shut down on a yearly basis and it’s only going to continue to get worse with things that are coming up.. so less born women are going to get opportunities and that has nothing to do with the sex you were born as

2) when you have multiple born women breaking records (and they are the only ones at the meet being discussed doing so) and never actually discuss them, it’s hard for me to actually believe anyone’s outrage is really for their benefit.. you have layup opportunities to celebrate women doing unprecedented things, but the girl who came tied for 5th continues to have a platform

3) the sport of swimming’s governing body ruled on the issue, hence why lia Thomas was in court and not actually attempting to make the US team

"Maybe the new owners will figure out that lying non-stop to your audience is a lousy business model."

Not to state the obvious but this is....a lie. Fox news makes tons off lying to its audience.

Fox News and its audience became hooked on lies – now they can’t break the habit | Jonathan Freedland

Maybe if they could actually call lies “lies” and not use their journalism degrees to find every other word in a thesaurus for something children should be taught in primary school/elementary school

Again, as ive said many times.. I don’t recall a single democrat taking a strong stance on transgender issues

But I do vividly remember certain folks very loudly pushing the issue, along with bill Maher and attributing things done/said to the Democratic Party with zero actual substance to their claims

But making mountains out of molehills to distract talking about the actual issues that need to be discussed is nothing new in politics

But I’m sure the tax breaks to the very top tax bracket will actually trickle down this time

Meanwhile Mitch’s wife and co:

Kroger executive admits company gouged prices above inflation
