It occurred to me, while watching Rand Paul grill some doctor about fairness for girls having to compete against TIMs, that the doctor refused to answer his question.

I assume because he knew damn well that girls would be fucked over by this but his job depended on him towing the line. After all if you can't give a heartfelt clear statement you must know it's making no sense.

Watching this, I get the feeling a good chunk of the Dems also agree with us in private but are waiting for it to collapse into it's own absurdity before backing off.

Which makes me wonder just how many apparently on the other side from us actually support us in private. How many of the supporters are like the courtiers in the emperor's new clothes, looking at each other and shrugging?

When this turns, it will turn fast and the hardliners will look like idiots.

It also makes me wonder just how much money the P family is shoving at the Dems to get this through.

Who are the P family?

The Pritzkers, I expect (notably billionaire James Nicholas "Jennifer Natalya" Pritzker), one of the wealthiest families in America.
