hypochondriac

How disappointing that you'd arrogantly suggest that I have a dislike of all trans people. Extra funny because the post above yours contains a video with a Democrat voting trans woman who I found to be very interesting with perfectly reasonable views. There's no dislike there whatsoever.

Interesting video from a lifelong Democrat and a trans woman. Soggy would do well to watch it and listen. He won't though obviously.

not sure how I've missed the point as I wasn't disputing that, merely pointing out that both sides have indulged in that practice so it's not exactly something new or unique to Trump. In many ways, the fact he's outside of the establishment is probably the biggest reason he has been appointed- and arguably that's the exact mandate Trump has been given.

Not sure I've offered any opinion on Trump's picks but as you've asked no I think it's a purely political pick and I am not sure he will be able to get it through at any rate. Plenty of Biden picks I thought were similarly political picks and there wasn't anything like the hysteria from some.

Guess you missed the "or people with a history of political activism" bit.

Who said anyone was bothered? I was just challenging the idea that Trump's picks are unique because some appear to have been picked for their activism and political views.

The fact you have no idea who they are speaks for itself somewhat. They have both been appointments by the current Democrat administration.

To be fair, if I were soggy I'd be angrily denying that now is the greatest time to ever live because my life is mostly shitty and it would magnify my failures as a person were I to admit that to myself.

You're right. It's not like there's ever been lesser qualified individuals or people with a history of political activism hired by an administration before.

That's only true if he bought it for financial reasons which he didn't. You could also look at his other businesses and say the opposite.

Have you seen some of the things the US government spends money on? Whatever side you are on hopefully everyone can agree that getting rid of some of that isn't a bad thing.

Not sure he ever claimed to buy X because it worked financially. Pretty sure he's said consistently that it was a terrible deal.

Personally I'll be interested to see if they can have some success from making government departments more efficient. There's undeniably an obscene amount of waste. I'm an interested observer as I'm not directly affected by thing like their education policy

Agree with this 100%. We absolutely do not need to be spending more money in January to make the problem worse.

Isn't the defense secretary pick a decorated war veteran? And pretty sure there's a bit more context to Vivek that you are missing out.

Or it will buy another Downes or THB in other area of the pitch - players more than good enough to perform at the top of the championship.

Yet another reason not to do this. Will be a huge load of additional pressure on a system already unfit for purpose:

We will probably sell Dibling, Ramsdale and THB which should net us close to 100 million - more than enough to be competitive in the league below assuming we don't go mad with silly buys this January which is no guarantee.

Which ones are you thinking of?

Agreed. Sulemana, Onuachu and Orsic take 2? No thanks.

Could have said the same the last time we went down which was arguably more of a shit show.

The difference being we would have more time on the ball and better players for that level. If this year has taught us anything, it's that the gap between the two divisions is rather large. We'd still have to replace Stewart Armstrong and probably Adams. Bazunu/new GK Sugawara Edwards/new CB Bednarek/Woods Manning/Taylor Downes/Charles Smallbone Armstrong/Armstrong replacement Lallana/Aribo SAA/Fraser Archer/BBD That team really should perform better than last years.

I'd really rather we didn't bother. By January we aren't going to be close enough to make it worthwhile and we will just end up spunking a load of cash leaving us with a load of players we can't shift in the championship. Much better imo to spend nothing so we have a bigger budget to play with next time out.

But of a weirdo with the trans stuff though so I'm probably not too upset that he's jumped.
