April Fool’s.

"Lawyer" and "Am I being detained?"  You're under no obligation to answer their questions.

And if they don’t show ID, call 911 and tell them you are being harassed by strangers impersonating FBI agents.

He said, "We do this all day."  So that's what the FBI busies themselves with?  Harassing middle aged ladies about their Facebook posts? 

Why don't they go arrest all the illegals squatting in people's homes instead? 

But if taxation is extortion, then it is a form of coercion. Thus I think all reduction of coercion, no matter how selective or how much we may dislike the reason for the reduction, is good morally.
Otherwise one is advocating for coercion of some people but not others.

I agree in theory. In reality there are all kinds of unfair tax law loopholes that favor one group over another, yet I believe it is moral to try to reduce your own taxes by taking advantage of any legal loophole you can. However, by extension this would also apply to cheating.  If taxation is immoral and extortion, then “the law” is not moral and we are therefore not obliged to obey it.

I’m not saying that is my position. I am not an anarchist. I am a pragmatic libertarian. Small government and very low tax rate if needed at all is ideal which of course we are far from right now.

These are the sort of moral conundra created by having the state involved in everyone else’s business.

Agree! 

As long as you mean adults having the surgery at their own expense, I agree with everything you said.  It disgusts me but its none of my business, as long as I don't have to subsidize it.

I agree.  I have a problem with medical insurance paying for it because that means we subsidize it, and don’t get me started with Medicare and Medicaid.  Insurance won’t pay for purely cosmetic elective surgeries and I consider this that.  There is no physical, medical reason to have transition surgery and in fact it often makes you far worse off medically.

The idea that it is necessary for mental health is based on a deep misunderstanding of gender dysphoria.  People used to think (and I was one of them) that making the physical genitalia match what your mind wants to be would cure your unhappiness, and in a few cases maybe it does, but there is growing evidence that it more often does not.  Not the least of reasons why is the fact that a trans penis is NOT a penis and a trans vagina is NOT a vagina. They do not look, function, or smell like the real thing. 

The best you can hope for is a cosmetic somewhat approximation superficially.  For that you trade away your natural hormones (ovaries and testicles removed), your body’s natural ability to keep the area clean and functioning, and very often the ability to orgasm or feel anything sexually down there.  If you’re an adult and you are fully informed of these realities and can pay for it yourself, go for it!  I’ll have no part in helping you.

I did it.  I told my husband I wanted to buy $500 worth of that new Truth Social stock and he said, “Make it a thousand.”  Screw figuring out how to buy a stock myself.  I just emailed our investment guy and directed him to buy us $1000 of Trump’s new Truth Social stock and I told him, no, I don't care if it’s not a good investment. I just want to play!

HA!

They’d have to compromise the FAA.  It can’t be easy to corrupt a Federal agency.  Wait…
