Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Whether it was due to the early hour of the day or just to the blood-thirsty nature of the moment, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth appeared particularly unhinged during the first official news ...

T shouldn't impact their logic or critical thinking, but it will impact their emotional regulation and impulse control. At least based on my experience with trans guys. And anecdotally when I started E I had about a year or so of getting into stupid fights with my mom despite knowing better before my body adjusted. Getting back to the right amount would probably calm them down, but these guys are more juiced up than a bodybuilder who can't do math. They're probably also being tilted by their grapes turning to raisins from that.

But yeah it's a drunken roid rage by a man who simply refused to mature or develop logic or critical thinking since their teens. And I think that's a bigger component to his inability to see than the T or the hooch. These men never grew the fuck up, and as such rather than living a good life at each stage, seeking to grow and mature until it is time to return to the earth, they strive to live a life eternally young and foolish, unable to even see that their unhappiness stems from this lifestyle.

And yeah, don't get me wrong, I miss feeling young, but hormonal instability wasn't fun either time. I like having stable emotions that can be reasonably controlled.

None of them have ever been smart enough for critical thinking, but yeah I agree with your points.
