1. Didn't her daughter get special treatment......tell us Snow Queen.....doing more gaslighting....

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. Expect more distractions to be raised by RepubliQonners to keep their sheeple Qonned. . . . nt

[elleng]

5. yes

[Initech]

3. Seriously, how many trans student athletes are there that they have to do this?

What the actual fuck?

[Mad_Machine76]

4. I don't know but it doesn't matter

As long as they can keep the rubes fooled and the trolls fed.

[Initech]

11. Well if you watch Fox News they're apprently in every locker room in the country.

At least that's what my MAGA neighbors say.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. I sure hope you are wrong

I would not want Fox News to be videoing in every locker room. I know it would thrill their pedo-fixated audience but it would be a massive intrusion.

(wink)

22. "We....

are everywhere.”

[YP_Yooper]

13. Very few, as is the same with the rest of the US

and this is of course just another culture war point for the RW - take one minor issue that has truth to it, and pretend it's world-ending if you don't get out to vote.

[Mad_Machine76]

23. Truth?

I hope you’re not actually going there.

[YP_Yooper]

33. "going there"?

Going where? Any one of these speeches is based on some small kernel of truth and explodes it into a culture war. That's how misinformation works, no?

[muriel_volestrangler]

6. National? Does she want to be vice-president?

Worrying that she has enough donors that she can buy national ads. Another governor with Covid blood on her hands, and she wants national power.

[LogicFirst]

7. That's just mean.

[bucolic_frolic]

10. +1

from one mean b*tch

[RobinA]

14. Really!

What’s the point?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

17. Point?

Keep their sheeple fixated on distractions.


"Seditious insurrection? Oh! Over there, look! A shiny TG! And behind it, a shiny CRT!"

[andym]

8. Remember that the culture wars have and are working for the GOP.

That's why they say these kind of things.

[Grins]

9. "...Noem released a NATIONAL advertisement...."

Why is an ad paid for by her campaign (while I am wondering who is really behind this ad and actually paid or it) "a national advertisement?"

[people]

12. Ad re transgender youth athletes

What a mean S.O.B.!

[Stuckinthebush]

15. Evil

That is evil. What kind of backlash will this have on transgender people? For what? I despise the modern GOP.

[LoisB]

18. She really is an idiotic, nasty, evil p.o.s. I will never understand how SOMEONE ELSE being

transgender or anything you're not hurts you or is any of your business. Is Kristi competing against them on the track field or tennis court?

[cbabe]

19. Noem mad because trans Amy Schneider won $1million on Jeopardy. Gotta put a stop to that.

[Wuddles440]

20. You got to love...

these "christian" folk always attacking the most vulnerable and marginalized members of society just like Jesus did - NOT!

[IronLionZion]

21. They have to step on somebody

so it might as well be the smallest minority in their state. They need some made up issue as raw meat for conservative wingnuts. Other states use CRT or confederate statues.

[pfitz59]

24. "Look over here!"

GQP sleight of hand. Distract the rubes and keep them off-balance.

[wildheart]

25. How is post #3 still here?

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1016311040

[ShazzieB]

28. Are you talking about a reply to a different o.p.?

There's a reply no. 3 in here that I see nothing wrong with.

Yes, I see the link. It just seems...odd.

[wildheart]

29. Yes

If you follow the link to the different thread, about this same topic, you will see a reply that clearly doesn't belong here, unless it is sarcasm.

[ShazzieB]

30. Have you tried alerting on it?

If not, I recommend that. It's much the best way to handle objectionable posts. Alerted posts are voted on by a randomly chosen jury, as to whether forum rules have been violated.

If you alert on a post and it doesn't get removed, you could try contacting one of the moderators. It might or might not get you the result you want, but to my knowledge, that wothough. The only recourse after alerting. Definitely start by alerting, though. (To do this, click on "alert abuse," which is at the bottom of each post.)

[ShazzieB]

26. This is sickening.

Picking on defenseless children, most of whom probably already get bullied on the regular just for being who they are. It turns my stomach.

[crim son]

31. Ugh.

I find this topic to be more complex than most - nay, all - of the responses to the OP above. That said, advertisements suggesting Noem is some sort of savior for young women in team sports is highly offensive, aimed as it is, not to protect anybody, but to promote one person only: her dreadful self.

[Evolve Dammit]

32. What a pathetic POS.

[IzzaNuDay]

34. I hope she is not aiming for the White House!

We don’t need that level of intolerance in there again.

[Kid Berwyn]

35. Hate sells.

Sick people find it attractive. And if there’s an abundance of any kind of human, sick is it.

[msfiddlestix]

36. what a piece of work. jeeze.

[Kid Berwyn]

37. Only thing pukes can do is talk about someone to hate.

They talk and talk and talk to build the hate hate hate, but never do even one damn thing to build a better nation.
