    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.

                    You just can’t stop doing it, can you? At this point, it’s clearly a compulsion, and I generally try to avoid negativity contributing to people’s health conditions.

                    So, I apologize for antagonizing your uncontrolled impulse to manage the narrative by editing the motives of others.

                    If you feel the need to continue telling me who I am, what I do, how I feel, and what I believe, from this point forward, I’ll gladly just agree with whatever you suggest so as to make it easier on your psyche.

                    I’m going to go ahead and tag your account appropriately to make it easier not to forget your hardship.

                    Again, my apologies.
