[538] got the call wrong last time.

If I tell you there's a 1-in-3 chance that a d6 will come up 5+, and you roll the die and get a 5, was I wrong?

I would bet that she wouldn't have called the cops (or followed him home) if it had been a white babysitter with black kids

She would have called the cops anyway and claimed the black kids were abducting a white women

I wonder what Giancarlo would say to Kidicious about this right now...

This is the case that I'm surprised that Proteus hasn't brought up.

She may have been worried the black kids had taken the white babysitter hostage?

[Kidlicious]

You mean the white woman who followed the black Babysitter with the white kids till his home and called the cops upon him?
Yes, I made a post about this, sometime last week.

Why doesn't it surprise me that you believe another smear against a woman with no evidence?

[Proteus_MST]

Did Proteus make a post regarding the newest smear against a white women that was trying to keep her community save by using accepted security measures? We have a serious problem in America with people making stupid false accusations of racism against people. The victims are seriously harmed.

‘Transgender’ Could Be Defined Out of Existence Under Trump Administration

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is considering narrowly defining gender as a biological, immutable condition determined by genitalia at birth, the most drastic move yet in a governmentwide effort to roll back recognition and protections of transgender people under federal civil rights law.
A series of decisions by the Obama administration loosened the legal concept of gender in federal programs, including in education and health care, recognizing gender largely as an individual’s choice and not determined by the sex assigned at birth. The policy prompted fights over bathrooms, dormitories, single-sex programs and other arenas where gender was once seen as a simple concept. Conservatives, especially evangelical Christians, were incensed.
Now the Department of Health and Human Services is spearheading an effort to establish a legal definition of sex under Title IX, the federal civil rights law that bans gender discrimination in education programs that receive government financial assistance, according to a memo obtained by The New York Times.
The department argued in its memo that key government agencies needed to adopt an explicit and uniform definition of gender as determined “on a biological basis that is clear, grounded in science, objective and administrable.” The agency’s proposed definition would define sex as either male or female, unchangeable, and determined by the genitals that a person is born with, according to a draft reviewed by The Times. Any dispute about one’s sex would have to be clarified using genetic testing.

“Sex means a person’s status as male or female based on immutable biological traits identifiable by or before birth,” the department proposed in the memo, which was drafted and has been circulating since last spring. “The sex listed on a person’s birth certificate, as originally issued, shall constitute definitive proof of a person’s sex unless rebutted by reliable genetic evidence.”

The new definition would essentially eradicate federal recognition of the estimated 1.4 million Americans who have opted to recognize themselves — surgically or otherwise — as a gender other than the one they were born into.

I should have worked something in there about the sucking and having a big head. Because a trompe really sucks, and the bigger the head the more it will suck. A large trompe with a big head sucks so much it often becomes a deafening roar of sucking.

[Aeson]

A trompe utilises a gurgling descent to pressurize a bunch of air. The further the descent the more pressure. If we could only harness the amount of air being released by and about our own trompe in it's massive gurgling descent ... we could power the world with green energy.

Trumpery... look it up! It predated Donald by over 400 years, from the Old French tromperie meaning deceive...

[Kidlicious]

More chances to believe in truth this way, as if you believed Donnie and his propaganda network

All you do is lie and smear people.
