You ain't black, says Biden

There was a sequel to the Manga “Death Note” that had an appearance by Trump. For those unfamiliar, Death Note is a story about a human getting their hands on a grim reapers notebook (grim reaper is the closest western concept to what this being was). Writing someone’s name in it while thinking of them they die. There is even some latitude in choosing the time and manner of some one’s death. If no manner is specified they simply have cardiac arrest.

In the Death Note sequel the comic closes with the book being passed off to Donald Trump.

On a lighter note, a representation of Trump was also present in the cartoon “The Queens’s new Corgi”

 
While Trump has walked out of a couple of press conferences - he has been more accessible to the press than Obama, Bush and just about any president in my 60 plus years. Even before the pandemic - and even as WH press conferences were not held. He makes himself available and takes questions. Personally, I am not sure why he has not walked out more often … how many times can one answer questions from the press that are essentially “Have you stopped beating your wife?” questions over and over.

Contrast the WH pressers to NY Gov pressers … Cuomo can issue executive orders that cause senior citizen to contract COVID-19 and die - the press lionize him and act as if he walks on water and he is never asked about his bad decisions that caused deaths - plus its probably all Trumps fault anyway. We do know that Cuomo wants you to report on your neighbors - but just not his Covid positive brother- who violate social distancing … Oh yes -then there is this tid bit of info - Cuomo is single and available and has been tested for COVID-19 with a large Q-tip swab … thanks CNN - wonderful reporting. And Cuomo never walks out.

I read what you wrote after having watched a show Thursday or Friday about those demographics.
I looked at the date on your article and it was April.
We know polls are just a snapshot in time. Mine was a passing comment about the recent snapshot.
No need to hyperventilate
 
Biden is a decent human being. To many of us that distinction is not hopeless or meaningless
 
I watched the interview. Biden isn embarrassing and pandering politician who insults the African American community with his arrogance. and elitism.

“Come on, man!”
 
Trans Excluding Radical Feminist–i don’t know why radical is in there–even JK Rowling was accused of being a TERF…
 
Well thanks. Why not radical? Even a few more adjectives of sinister or diabolical maybe. Lol.
Trans excluding also? That took the conspiracy mills some overtime pay to add that. Frankly, my age is showing when I cannot figure out how trans excluding and femanist go together. That is so far removed from my Sesame Street lessons about," three of these things, belong with the other."
 
How can you not know about this stuff? How can I know more than you about feminism! [ETA: just kidding around–sorry Maximus that I sounded serious 😦 )

First, there are some women who consider themselves or who were formerly considered feminists who are not on board with the idea of men “becoming” women.

Hence, trans-excluding.

I am just curious about why they stuck radical in there as if all trans-excluding feminists were radical feminists instead of feminists of various kinds.

Annie asks me," how can I not know about this stuff?"
I realize I have a remnant where I retain the metaphoric fig leaf. I can report, I am not bothered by it. I did not know the game within the game, to wit: how women and feminists view Trans people. And now I know one woman’s view and I am sure others. I would tell Annie this, to answer her questions directly; I just didn’t know it. I am not a woman and there are many things about women I still don’t know apparently. I will likely pass in this condition. P S I know little about Trans people I surmise as well.

What’s up with the third person? Have you decided not to talk to me?

I was kidding around: you seem to advocate a lot of Democratic Party positions, so I had assumed you would know a lot about feminism, so much of which also occurred in NYC, which you also seem to be very knowledgeable about.

Alas, I forgot that tone of voice does not transmit electronically!

Radical Feminism is its own strain of feminism, essentially. These are feminists who are likely to view gender oppression as being the product of more societal wide gender relations rather than in legal forms or class relations. They also seem more likely to take some kind of “essentialist” view of gender, and while they might call for the abolition of gender distinctions in terms of societal norms (letting men wear pink or something, basically) they tend to believe in inherently male or female bodies. I think this is what has led them to be “trans exclusionary.” So it isn’t stuck there just to be scary, radical feminists are a real thing and there are feminists that identify as such. Obviously the term has run away with itself and lots of people are called TERFs who are just liberal feminists, just because the term itself has popularity.
