Not a taunt. The candidate you support ordered tampons be stocked in boys bathrooms. I'm trying to understand why you need a tampon, PR. Not an unreasonable question, but you refuse to answer. Why?

Repeat that often - Tampon Tim.

Every time you do it gains Kamala and Tim a women's vote.

If you knew a woman to talk to, good luck weirdos, most have a story to tell about a humiliating time at school when they were embarrassed by bleeding.

Nearly 1 in 4 students have struggled to afford period products in the United States, according to a 2023 study commissioned by Thinx and PERIOD. Experts say period poverty is more than just a hassle: It’s an issue of public and personal health, dignity and more.

The Minnesota students who lobbied for the bill testified last year about having to miss class because they were unable to afford menstrual products, being distracted from schoolwork and tests and feeling that adults didn’t take their concern seriously.


Go on, bring more attention to this hugely popular and successful Democratic program Walz brought to Minnesota.

It will distract from Trump being pulled off the campaign trail for embarrassing performances, but no luck, he got on his losing social media site and had a breakdown while watching the huge Democratic rally while his weak VP pick had a sparsely attended and weak rally in the same city.

Keep the focus on Tampon Tim.

“What are the chances that Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST president in the history of the US, whose presidency was unconstitutionally STOLEN from him by Kamabla, Barack HUSSEIN Obama, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, Shifty Adam Schiff, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer and others on the lunatic left, CRASHES the Democrat National Convention and tries to take back the nomination, beginning with challenging me to another DEBATE. He feels that he made a historically tragic mistake by handing over the US presidency, a COUP, to the people in the world he most hates. And he wants it back NOW!!!”

Michael Steele, former Republican National Chairman, tweeted: “Umm, GOP, is DonaldTrump ok? Perhaps, the campaign has become too much for him — what with now having to run against VP Kamala Harris, watching his VP choice JD Vance say something stupid — again; or popular Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz joining the Harris campaign.

“I know it can be a lot. Maybe a nap? Or, you know, a commonly used form of psychotherapy is cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). Trump’s been saying he wants to do something cognitive. The goal of CBT is to manage intense stress and anxiety by changing the way one thinks, feels and behaves. Failing that, how about CBD?”

George Conway, an attorney who once worked for Republicans and former husband of Trump ex-spokesperson Kellyanne Conway, tweeted a question to Trump’s campaign staff and his children: “Are you guys gonna get this guy the help he so obviously needs, or are you all just there to cash his checks?”

So no response as to why you, your father, and your son need access to tampons? It must be an important reason for you to be backing Tampon Tim. So I'm confused why you won't just tell us.

This entire Trans-Gender issue is CRAZY and shows how deranged, confused, and full of misunderstanding of basic Biology the Left is, along with their obedient followers who "drank the Kool-Aid" in particular GaryD and p-brat. The number of persons that actually suffer gender confusion is miniscule. Twenty years ago, these folks were simply dismissed at LUNATICS. They still are.

Now the Lunatic Liberal Left has made this the issue of the DAY.

It's none of your business why you, your father, and your son use tampons?

Or you don't use tampons but you know men who do?

Why are you so defensive and angry with a simple and polite question for clarification from a voter about a major policy plank of the candidate you're passionately supporting?

I know you know the answer, and your question is purely argumentative. Nonetheless, it shouldn't be allowed to go unchallenged.

There are people in the world whose emotional gender doesn't match their biological one. Specifically, there are women who imagine themselves to be men, and who may need a tampon while going to the men's bathroom.

The liberal doctrine, as it applies to this situation, is that a government ought to behave as a gracious host to all its people. ALL its people, including the weird ones. The primary concern of a gracious host is to avoid inconvenience or embarrassment for his guests. Therefore, if someone with a man's soul trapped in a woman's body finds himself menstruating, he should be able to go into the men's bathroom and find his needs met, without needing to resort to embarrassing himself by going into the woman's bathroom.

Personally, while I agree with the gracious host doctrine up to a point, I would not go to this extent. I, personally, find the costs of meeting the needs of all people, even the outlandish ones, to be too great. I'd cut them loose. However, this is not about me. This is about Tim Walz. For him, it was the right choice. While my utilitarian mind may question the cost/benefit ratio here, he obviously made the morally consistent choice to uphold the rights of ALL his citizens, including microscopic minorities.

Wrong. It's the Right that insists on making an issue of it.

Most people on the Left also think the trans-genders are crazy. But they take the morally consistent view that the duty of the government is to look out for the needs of ALL it's citizens, including the miniscule minorities.

If the Right didn't insist on constantly fighting about it, it would be a non-issue. A trivial line item on the annual budget to provide some conveniences for some people who might suffer significant embarrassment without it. Done, no biggie, just as it's no biggie to put up a few ramps for people in wheelchairs or a few beepers on Walk/Don'tWalk lights for blind people.

That may be what you believe, however, it's not what Tim Walz believes and this assertion is a meager attempt to make Walz's position seem reasonable or not weird.

Tim Walz believes certain people who are born in female bodies are literally men and would consider someone saying they're merely "imagining" themselves to be men to be hate speech. (The candidate you support believes you engage in hate speech and believes you should be punished.) Ergo he supports this:

Tim Walz signed legislation that would allow parents to have the penises of their 11 year old children to be amputated as an elective procedure.

During this process, the child will be given general anesthesia. A surgeon will then use a microsurgical scalpel to disconnect the veins and arteries of the child. A larger scalpel will then cut off the major muscle tissue of the child's organ and the child's organ will be removed and discarded in a biohazard bag.

The child will usually spend 2-3 weeks of in-hospital and several months of out-patient rehabilitation as this is considered a major traumatic medical event.

This conspiracy theory - presented by Tim Walz as factual - has been debunked by trusted media outlets as Walz-propagated disinformation designed to undermine our democracy and democratic institutions.

Kambla's letter on government stationary to 42 year-old Dylan Mulvaney celebrating him for "living authentically" --

Dylan Mulvaney "living authentically" as a 6 year-old girl --



According to Kamabla and Tampon Tim, Dylan Mulvaney IS a 6 year-old girl. He doesn't "imagine" he's a 6 year-old girl. He IS a 6-year old girl. And there should be criminal statutes providing punitive measures against people who claim Dylvan Mulvaney is not a 6 year-old girl.

This is not normal. Kamabla and Dim Tim are not normal. This is weird.

More LEFTIST LIES (from the article cited above by Saxi; Well Done, again, Saxi):

The American electorate is fully in the grip of Couch Discourse.

On July 15, shortly after former President Donald Trump announced Sen. JD Vance would be joining his ticket, the X user @rickrudescalves posted a joke: "can't say for sure but he might be the first vp pick to have admitted in a ny times bestseller to fucking an Inside-out latex glove shoved between two couch cushions (vance, hillbilly elegy, pp. 179-181)."

Needless to say, pages 179 through 181 of "Hillbilly Elegy" are not devoted to an account of Vance's couch surfing, and there's no evidence that he's ever done anything to a couch other than sit on one.


https://www.businessinsider.com/jd-vance-couch-sex-joke-author-speaks-2024-7

Further, the backlash against Trans-Sexual support by both Bud Light and Target stores should show the Liberal Democrats that this issue is NOT a winning issue. The STOOOPID Liberal Left, in the meantime, PUSH the issue forward instead. Keep working for defeat of Kamala with this lunacy; this merely helps Trump win the election.

Thanks, Kamala and Tampon Tim.

I don't know what he really believes, and neither do you. In the absence of magical mind-reading powers, I'll stick to the assumption that he's a reasonable person, unless proven otherwise.

Since you didn't feel the need to acknowledge the rest of my explanation, I think we're done here.

There was a fair amount of discussion about this topic here in Minnesota, so you aren't alone in questioning if the expense was necessary for all restrooms. When initially considered, the law wasn't about boy's restrooms. It was about providing tampons for girls who needed them. However, after deciding it was important to provide them, the secondary discussion of which restrooms to place them in, followed. Ultimately, it was decided to put them in all school restrooms.

I'm glad they came to an agreement, rather than let the legislation die on the vine due to a disagreement over where they are placed. As a woman who has experienced suddenly needing a tampon when in school, and who has daughters who likewise had occasions to need one, I am happy that Minnesota provides free tampons in school restrooms. Over two dozen states have such laws in place. It's needed.

Conservatives get scared when they hear talk of losing their already small penises. They make this an issue.

The tampon rules came up in debate on the bill to provide sanitary supplies in all schools. The Republican members added a rider to specific exclude boys restrooms. They didn't want boys learning about that stuff. Besides, it would spread cooties, they explained. This had not really been considered until they brought it up. Their amendment was voted down. A victory for education.

People with small genitals and uncertain about their sexuality make a big issue out of these things.

You know who you are.

but surely providing free tampons to teenagers who need them is a slippery slope to genital mutilation no? I've heard the monster doctors who perform these surgeries can smell teenage period blood and often hang out around lavatories looking for their next client/victim.
