Mayor should be censored and booted out by his constituents
Well, they are about to and replace him with a Somalian. Though I guess the next mayor won’t be quite as trans friendly.

a group didn’t shoot kids today.
people immediately blaming a group for political points are no better than people immediately calling for gun control.

Tranny people are mentally ill. No surprise when one does some mentally ill stuff. These folks need treatment, they don’t need acceptance and celebration. If you accept what they think they are and celebrate it, you are mentally ill as well.
It’s body dysmorphic disorder. No different than anorexia.

Faculty acted ‘within seconds’ to shield students from bullets, the school said.
In expressing his heartbreak over the shooting that killed two children and injured more than a dozen other people at Annunciation Catholic Church on Wednesday, Mayor Jacob Frey of Minneapolis mentioned that the tragedy would have been even more horrific if not for the actions of the church staff.
“The way that they acted during severe threat and danger was nothing short of heroic,” Mr. Frey said at a news conference.
As bullets shattered the windows of the church during Mass, staff members moved children under pews to shield them from the gunfire, saving their lives, according to the school’s principal, the authorities and the account of a staff member, Ellie Mertens, who was in the sanctuary during the shooting.
Ms. Mertens, the church’s youth minister, said in an interview on Wednesday that she was seated inside the church, feet away from a window, when the shooting began. Matthew D. DeBoer, the school principal, and other staff members had an “instinctual” reaction to the sound of gunfire, she said, and “instructed everyone to get down,” Ms. Mertens recalled.
“The pews saved lives and took a lot of bullets” for the duration of the gunfire and as bullets ricocheted around the room, Ms. Mertens said, adding that the shooting lasted for about two minutes. One of the pews saved her own life, she said.
In a statement, Mr. DeBoer also praised faculty and students for moving “within seconds” to shield one another, and especially the youngest of the children, from the gunfire.
“Our teachers were heroes,” Mr. DeBoer said. “Children were ducked down, adults were protecting children — older children were protecting younger children.”
The church said that all staff members were safe and accounted for. Mr. DeBoer called them “the dream team.”

It would be like if after 911 someone jumped on TV and was like "okay, but don't forget. We have to really consider how this makes Muslims feel".
This literally actually happened. I remember. You had liberals basically saying that verbatim like hours after 911 on tv.

I will once again point out going on a trans witch hunt isn’t the same as being upset for the kids who were shot.

Words have meanings. There is not and never has been a reputable English language dictionary which would define gender and sex in the same manner and would not list either as synonyms. In fact every reputable English language dictionary would include terms that would indicate gender, used to define gender as related to human beings, is indeed a social construct. Some will also spell out it is not synonymous with sex. Only the truly ignorant, who do not know there is a difference in the meanings of these two terms and are therefore guilty only of being human and not knowing, the willfully ignorant who are simply stupid, or the truly stupid among us who are unwilling to accept that they are simply wrong. There is no test, no genetic marker, nothing science has which can identify gender. In a blind test where the person giving the sample is unknown to the researcher the researcher cannot determine the gender of the person who gave the sample. That same researcher cannot determine identify the biological sex of the person, not their gender because only the person who gave the sample knows for certain what their gender, what they identify themselves as, is. Most people will identify as the gender that others identify them as and the characteristics of that gender will coincide with the biological markers of the sex that person is. Some do not. Anyone who thinks those people choose to identify as a gender that others do not see must logically have considered their own gender identity in a moment of gender confusion. Most people simply accept what others identify them as without ever thinking about it. Of course anyone who says otherwise can refute this by telling me what THEY identify as another person’s gender who they meet who has a beard, broad shoulders, is taller and heavier than the average human and is wearing a sport coat, a dress shirt, tie, dress pants and loafers. Now tell us that persons biological sex. No one alive today or who ever lived can do so…they can only tell you for certain what they think that persons gender is, they have no clue what their sex is nor what the person themselves identifies as gender wise. Anyone who tells us otherwise is wrong.
Ooooh, how fun. But…there’s several problems with this long-winded nonsensical attempt at insulting the OT. I know you will read this and I know you’re too chicken shite to address it. Regardless, let me point out the problems with your latest 2,000 word essay:
1) Cherry picking dictionary references. You insist, “every reputable dictionary” says sex and gender aren’t synonymous, thats a lie. Dictionaries historically did in fact list them as synonyms.
2) You equate “unknowable” with “undefined”. Which is pure gaslighting on your part.
3) Your “bearded guy” argument is stupid. In reality, you can scientifically determine biological sex through chromosomes, and/or hormone markers. And socially, almost everyone (that’s not a fricking weirdo) would categorize this imaginary person as male — whether or not it aligns with this whatever’s self-identity. So, pretending “no one alive can do so” is just more of your dramatic bullshite.

Well I was wrong about something, and apparently Tampon Tim did make a speech today, and it was shockingly fine. Like he wasn’t remotely disrespectful towards people of faith, praised a Catholic values and teachings, and said on several occasions to keep them in our thoughts and prayers and that was important. Wow, something new for Tim treating people of faith with respect and didn’t say shite that we should think of the trans community as the big victims and not Catholics and their kids. It was Jacob Frey that told Walz to “hold my beer” today, and doubly frick Jacob Frey.
Frey, Klobuchar, Jefferies and Psaki won the award for all-time vile pieces of shite today.

, you’re sadder that the shooter was trans than for the kids that were shot and killed. In fact, I’m willing to bet you blame the kids and their parents Christian bigotry over the trans shooter himself and think they brought it on themselves.
You can go have this fake argument with yourself, because clearly nothing I say about this matters to you.
People lunging after identify politics the day children are killed are not better than people lunging for guns.

Screw these people. Someone kills kids and they want us to rally around the trans community? Why is that where our sympathies should be?
This rattled me. My kids go to a school similar to that place. Why would anyone choose to target innocent children like that?
