So, we finally have a rational statement about Trump from you...mark the date. Note, I'm only going by statements he made himself that were verified by his victims. He may be a rapist, time and the courts will tell, but he's absolutely a sexual abuser of both women and girls, no question, he doesn't deny it himself, he brags about it in interviews repeatedly.

FYI-Don't project your sickness on me.
I've had many opportunities to barge in on naked girls, as have most men. The thought wouldn't ever cross my mind that I should, at least not since I was 14, in fact it's the exact opposite, the thought crosses my mind that I should be absolutely certain I don't come close, even by accident, because that's both pervy and prosecutable sexual abuse (in this specific self reported case where he often barged into pageant dressing rooms when he knew the women/girls were undressed and just hung out because he could, that's repeated sexual abuse of multiple minors...according to him, publicly, and proudly.)

Very good..
If Trump is a sick rapist then out he should go.

FYI - If you had the chance to barge in on naked girls you would too.

Funny you should ask.....

But this Trump [abuse] dates [back] decades - [and] what makes this truly bad is that beauty pageant, family, and business inside[r]s all knew about this and kept quiet. What's even worse is he didn't keep quiet, and instead bragged for decades about abusing his position to abuse women, including repeatedly and intentionally barging in on naked under age girls to ogle them, and instead of being shunned he is now president.

I wondered where that naked guy stuck to my windshield went.

I could never get into Monty Python, but I loved Airplanes, Spaceballs, Naked Gun, Police Academies, etc.

I watched the movie only about 10 or so years ago. But I clearly remember thinking to myself it was the funniest movie ever at the time... and then I went on a sort of classic comedy watching spree with the Naked Guns & Police Academies & Monty Python.... the latter series really tickled me pink... and are regular YouTube clips rewatch... My wife doesn't get Monty though.

Congratulations! Your comment on Someone stole naked pictures of me. This is what I did about has just received enough votes from the community to earn you 1 Power Point. Thank you for your quality contribution to VideoSift.

No NHS in the states. Personally, I think that'd be the way to do it. And I think it kind of needs to be a long and difficult road, to make sure that drastic option is necessary and won't be regretted later.

It's a bit hard for me to accept it, because I tend to think of it like that episode of South Park. Kyle can't actually become a tall black kid, and his dad can't actually become a dolphin.

But even though I think that is true -- you can't really become something you aren't -- I recognize that gender reassignment surgeries can be life saving / massively beneficial to quality of life in many cases.


To take a stab at answering your other questions:

I believe that Trump is saying that the military is instituting a blanket ban on transgender people from serving in the military. If / how the military elects to enforce that remains to be seen. I don't know the full timeline on that sort of stuff, but back in the 60's one (considered extreme at the time) way for young men to get out of being drafted to go to Vietnam was to take photos of themselves naked with another man (implying they were gay) or wearing women's clothing (implying they were trans). The mere implication that you might be either was enough to disqualify you from military service.

More recently, during Don't Ask Don't Tell you could be gay or trans in the military, but couldn't reveal that you were. That ended only 5-6 years ago. The military definitely wouldn't have paid for trans-related medical treatments prior to that, and didn't for quite a while after until Obama OK'd it.

Again, I don't really think that the military should be required / expected to pay for those kinds of treatments for soldiers, BUT I'd be 100% OK with something like the NHS making it available to any citizen, as in the UK. For one thing, I wouldn't want trans people to see the military as the only way to get those treatments (short of paying out of pocket), and having that be a major part of their motivation to join.

And I 100% agree that this is a basically a political distraction that sets back the rights and acceptance of an already marginalized group that in no way deserves it.

*promote the naked truth (in how the west now sees the US, at least).

"Some will cheer the decline of America, but I think we'll miss it when it's gone." Too true. Schadenfreude will only get us so far.

I wonder what the chances are of a united European leadership stepping up to the mark.

We've always got room to improve though because as a fellow Canadian I don't feel my country men are all similarly free.

Those a re recent examples easy to mind, but this is pretty frequent.

In the anime movie she is naked just like she is in the intro. The thermocamoflauge is part of her skin, hence the need for the visor to cover her eyes so she is covered %100. In the TV series thermocamo can be slandered fatigues as the entire outfit is capable of going invisible without needing to shed a thing. Here it is back to a skin tight suit that they decided not to bother with "well what about the head?" .

I do not believe she is naked, it's just a skin tight and skin toned outfit, like looking at a Barbie doll really. It could be for titillation or there could be some practical (entirely made up) reason for it. Shirow is also well known for his more erotically themed art as well.

A brief bit of google fu shows that in the anime she's naked? Is there a point to that other than cheap titillation?

I can see where it could add to a feeling of vulnerability, I guess, but it feels like the movie makers are trying to have their cake and eat it.

Anyway, I've never seen the original anime (not a big anime fan), but I thought the suit looked ridiculous in the trailer.

Everything else looked pretty cool, especially the weird spider geisha thing.

Nothing is ever simple. I'm just not properly explaining what I was saying -- Jon Stewart went off and did his public speaking, crowd organizing thing with this belief in something that he couldn't quite define. He lost his mojo, in a way, saw that he was naked, bereft of his staff. Any talking/figure head with a staff of writers or information feeders can be comparable to other leaders of a similar make up. Trump and Stewart are reality tv stars of a similar make up.

Dag suggested that the writers of the Daily Show are what created Jon Stewart as we know hom, and so I ran with the idea that he, like the figurehead and reality star, Donald Trump, are products of other people's opinions -- this, when left to their own devices, while successful entertainers, they realize the emperor's clothes are transparent and now they have to rely on their own smaller slice of knowledge. Not that Stewart is dumb, but Stewart without writers and correspondents, is a similar archetype to Trump. Stewart's writers and correspondents, including the man whose show he is on in this clip, are akin to the media that Donald Trump treats like his writing staff. But instead of leaving the Daily Show, Trump is leaving *most* of the media, revealing he is not as knowledgeable without his sources.

Anyway, I was following the logic as laid down by dag's logic for why Jon isn't as funny or put together. I also know that good leaders put themselves in other people's shoes before giving advice to other leaders. Stewart MUST do this because he is a decent figurehead, but Trump doesn't -- that's why the media questions him on what biographies he is reading; leaders are supposed to put themselves into their rivals AND heros shoes as a matter of critical self analysis -- so, Stewart is speaking to the media almost as if he is also putting himself in Trump's shoes and speaking about how his own writing staff and correspondent's left him and succeeded.

Stewart has a 4 year contract with HBO. He will have the structure and writing teams he needs. Trump should utilize the media, including books and newspapers, and follow the subtext Jon laid out here.

In a world where the world ends at the end of your block
And them uh, little whirlwinds spin friction round the clock
I'll be savage, hunt and gather the average rather cadaver
Cock back hammer, splatter matter all over cell phone and calendar
No peace, yeah, in the middle of a war zone, riddle when the norm thinks slow
No sleep, yeah, with the shades down low, on the down low fighting with a dream
I creep, yeah, all secrets please, I don't need to speak
I'm paranoid like a man in the land of the free
To set up and let us burn and turn cheek, damn
Stop with the octagon, top your block, I'm gone
Off my rock, no songs, no more locked, yeah
Just a little bit a prison for everyone of us
We won't listen till there isn't any more of us
These days we quick to part ways with rights like "okay"
Here, let's be clear, for the record I did not sign up for lockdown
Or any kind of shock and I'm so bored

You must have forgot just who you were dealing with
Nothing less than aggression so naked, so crystal clear with a
Trust in absolutely fucking nothing but Doomtree
Step up your thought game lame, we're all thirsty!

It's like they leave us no option
Walking these streets, heat is watching
These preachers speak from their pockets
These teachers...bring it back c'mon
These teachers reach but can't stop it
Seedlings so poisoned, so lost and
Follow these prophets to nonsense
Tossing what's right to the dust
And I ain't no casualty
Got no surface with spotless morality
My dirt might have to cover up my grave
But I keep my fear of faith
And filth clutter up my cave
Got me looking for disinfectant
(I don't know how to behave)
God, I'm bored!

You must have forgot just who you were dealing with
Nothing less than aggression so naked, so crystal clear with a
Trust in absolutely fucking nothing but Doomtree
Step up your thought game lames, we're all thirsty!

Mooooooooore!...
So thirsty for mooooooooore!...
