    It shines a spotlight on the fact that Newsome has suddenly pivoted on this transgender issue. (basically as a precursor to running for president) And people should know that this shithead has no actual integrity and will do or say whatever it takes to get the conservatives to like him more for the general election (he’s pretty confident that Dems will choose him regardless of his policies apparently.) So, if he’s altering his policy on transgender youth, it almost certainly means that he’s gonna attempt the Democrats continually failing strategy of appealing to conservatives.

      It’s little more than an outrage piece designed to provoke anger and get page hits.

      It’s a nothing-burger. I would bet money that prior to this piece, no one here or anywhere wondered what the host of Jeopardy thought of Gavin Newsom.

      And therein lies my point.

        Before this “outrage piece” I had no idea that Newsom had come out against trans athletes. So it definitely serves a purpose other than click bait.

        If he was saying that newsom was right to throw trans people under the bus where you think they belong, you wouldn’t be griping.

          Who’s griping? I’m simply pointing out the distraction you all seem to be falling for.

              Man, looking through your comment history…

              You sure do seem to think you know the motivation behind what others think, feel, do… are you some sort of actuary? Maybe a mind reader? Perhaps you have a PhD in psychological profiling?

              If it’s none of these things, then you are by far- the most perfect example of “everyone that disagrees with me is a fascist/racist/genocider/nazi/etcetera… that I’ve ever seen.

              It’d be funny if it weren’t so sad.

                And yet you’re still griping because Ken Jennings of all people isn’t anti-trans enough for you.

                  There you go again pretending to know what I’m about.

                  Get help man. This seems like it’s a serious issue with you. You don’t know shit about anyone, and seem obsessive about insisting you do.

                    Well, look. You’re clearly griping about this post existing at all. It has to have something you don’t want anyone else to read, or you would just downvote and move on. Instead, you decided to whine about it.

                    You’re expending a lot of energy for something you allegedly don’t care about, and it’s clear that you just don’t want others to care about it. And since the thing you totally don’t care about is Jennings saying that he doesn’t like newsom because newsom decided that trans people belong under the bus, what other conclusion should I draw?

                    Please, stalk my comment history some more if it makes you feel superior to those who don’t hate trans people enough for your liking.
