oblong Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 I disagree with those analogies. It's a cliche but we are in a new world now. Past performances are no longer indicative of anything. Our fractured media landscape with it's bubbles and our gerrymandered legislatures at the state and federal level... it's all different. what went down previously is not going to give us any insight. The old way of doing things is no longer valid. I think we are at the civil war era in terms of political landscape. Not in the sense of there being an actual war and people dying but I'm thinking about political parties and the field. The Republican Party has evolved and 1/2 of it doesn't fit and many of that 1/2 still think it can be saved. That's misguided. The Republican Party is the party of Trump and Karmano and Kari Lake. No one is going to undo that anytime soon. A national poll may offer hope but it's what happens in the states that makes that decision.

CDC gives guidance for trans people ‘chestfeeding’ kids, accused of failing to consider possible health risks Quote The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s official website published advice for trans and non-binary individuals on seeking guidance on how to “chestfeed” their infants. Several doctors criticized the guidance, not simply because CDC has appeared to guide biological men in how to breastfeed children, but because they claimed the CDC has failed to gauge the risks posed to children drinking milk produced by chemicals used in gender-reassignment medical operations. FDA’s warning that one of these drugs, domperidone, “can pass into breast milk in small amounts and can sometimes give babies an irregular heartbeat as a result. https://nypost.com/2023/07/05/cdc-advises-trans-people-chestfeeding-kids-accused-of-neglecting-health-risks/ Edited July 10, 2023 by digitalpigsmuggler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMRivdogs Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) From the article: There appear to be at least three forms of this public political/governmental sociopathy present today. The first are those individuals for whom sociopathic tendencies are deep-seated and a core feature of who they are – the former president being a prime example. A second form includes the scores of Republicans and right-wingers who have decided to play the role or act sociopathic for their own personal gain. This includes hard-line MAGA members such as Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Kari Lake and Matt Gaetz, who decided to infect themselves with contagious sociopathy. The third group with contagious sociopathy are the passive enablers of widespread acts of manipulation and cruelty ranging from long-serving, establishment leaders like Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) all the way to the throngs of people clad in Confederate flags and MAGA idolatry whose inaction and permissiveness serves as a large-scale petri dish by which contagious sociopathy can flourish. It cannot go without mentioning that the processes of cultism are at play here as well. Edited July 10, 2023 by CMRivdogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jz68 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 When you attack Biden, you have to lean into conspiracy theories and other unproven allegations. When you attack Trump, you simply need to point out what we've all seen him do and say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I don’t see anything that indicates that chestfeeding people are at any more risk of poisoning their children with milk tainted by hormone drugs than breastfeeding people are of poisoning their children with milk tainted by methamphetamine, fentanyl, cocaine, heroin, or any number of other dangerous, deadly, and/or illegal drugs.

It’s also worth pointing out there are no long term studies of this. A biological male filled with hormones and a concoction of other drugs that have not been studied that could harm a baby should NEVER be encouraged. https://www.marshall.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/sen-marshall-slams-cdcs-advice-encouraging-biological-men-to-chestfeed-infants/ they are literally telling men to take this drug. https://www.fda.gov/drugs/information-drug-class/fda-talk-paper-fda-warns-against-women-using-unapproved-drug-domperidone-increase-milk-production In response to reports that women may be using an unapproved drug, domperidone, to increase milk production (lactation), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning breastfeeding women not to use this product because of safety concerns.
