A fringe culture battle is apparently more important than considering whether to put a felon who tried to steal an election back in the White House.

As abhorrent as I find the fringe trans movement, peacocking around like the right has any ethical superiority is absurd on its face.

You don't get to call it "the fringe" when there's an active attempt to normalize the abnormal. It's become the base.

It is absolutely pragmatic to make it illegal to perform bizarre child gender experimentation on thousands of children every year.

Anyone who doesn’t understand this is a freak to normal people.

So I just spent the last five minutes reading up on this, as you suggested, and I don't have any clue about how this has turned into some boogeyman for you or anyone else.

Gender affirming surgeries almost never happen. And on the extremely rare cases they do, 80% of them are chest reductions. In addition patients are 15 and older.

Anyway, that's as much time and effort I'm willing to give on an issue I already knew (just based on basic human intuition and logic) wasn't actually an issue for anyone other than people who live in fear of sending their kids to school as one gender and having them come home as another. 

My suggestion to you would be to use some of that alpha male energy and stop hiding in the corner from a non-existent trans monster that doesn't exist.

Or you could just not run up your credit card bills and only charge what you can afford. Crazy concept, I know.

Or you could understand that some people aren't as fortunate as most of us and they have to carry balances.

A single mother making 40k probably doesn't have much left after taxes, food, rent, gas, and utilities, so what happens when the kids need clothes or shoes? What happens when the heater breaks or they need new tires? 

We probably haven't carried a balance in a long time, but many don't have that choice.

They have no choice but to borrow money they can't afford to pay back, so we should use the full weight of the federal government to implement national price controls on revolving credit loans to make life easier on them? Sure sounds like the socializm to me, Chairman Mao. I'm sure you'd react the exact same way if the roles were reversed, Mr. States Rights Small Government Conservative.

Cool, be out of touch and elitist yet again.

Same with student loans ?

Much like the illegal immigrants, I'm sick of hearing about the trannies. The republicans are in charge of everything. If there are still trannies and litter boxes in schools in 2 years, its completely on all of you.

100%, for the exact same reason. If we all agree that the cost of tuition has become insane, then maybe we need fewer government subsidies, not more.

You don't get to call yourself a conservative and still make posts like this unless you want to be mocked for it. You're not a conservative, you're a populist. Go back to school and learn the difference if you ever want to be taken seriously.

Lol I'm a conservative who agrees with lowering credit card interest rates. Yeah, I can. Too bad. You love being angry and are way out of touch on this. Like always you like to bounce around when your argument is crap. 

You were mocking people for putting stuff on their cards they can't afford. Yeah, you have people who buy too much and suck with money, but you also have people trying to make ends meet. Not everyone is as fortunate as us.

Theres a reason why credit card rates are as high as they are.    So sure, impose a government imposed cap of 10% interest rate, and then we’ll hear all the complaining about how people are getting denied credit cards and how "unfair” it is.

No, no, you see when that happens then we just need use the federal government to once again force private enterprise to give away their product or service at reduced cost, even to unqualified borrowers. And when those borrowers inevitably default en masse, we'll just use more government intervention to bail out the struggling banks. But that's clearly never happened before ever, so I'm not sure why we're even talking about it. Free loans for everyone!

And this is why corruption and collusion are able to continue. Changes can't be made because only doom is the outcome. There are counters, solutions, and push backs. Is 10% the GOP goal or negotiating that caps things at 15 or 17%? Who knows. We'll see.

WGB would love for this to be just about 10% vs his elitist and way out of touch statement that people shouldn't buy something they can't pay off. Again, people live high and spend, but many are also not as fortunate. 

All of the sudden the GOP is pro big government, and against free markets and fiscal responsibility. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

And say goodbye to those reward points. I doubt something like this passes

This is a complex issue, so anyone simply saying it should be 10% or nothing can be done/needs to be done doesn’t understand things.

Ten percent is probably the goal with Bernie, but the GOP is using it as a starting point for negotiations to bring in the corruption and collusion between these institutions. There are regulations on them for a reason so the anti-free market line doesn’t fly. It's probably not going to end with a ten percent cap.

On the other side we do have a problem with people living high spending money on homes, boats, cars, and other luxuries they can't afford. So we have those idiots and we have the colluding institutions. Both need to change.

It’s really not that complex, if you don’t like the interest rates being offered, don’t get the credit, or choose another lender.

What collusion? We already have laws against that so if there was proof of that actually happening, there are existing legal actions that can be taken without the need for new legislation.

This is the problem with trying to talk any sense into people like you, the definition of words hold no value in the fantasy land you've built up in your head.

Exactly. And if that's truly how he feels, then fine, whatever. I don't agree with it, but that's more on a subjective philosophical level. It's when he says that and then still tries to brand himself as a conservative that makes him look like an utter moron.
