She is saying we are hypocrites about science. Because that is always the angle to stop from actually giving any credence to the other sides points.

I was not aware Liberals had a position on biological sex but there you go.

Well see? Already there. Trump can go ahead and accept climate change now.

I thought that's the difference between sex and gender.

Yes, as I said, I don't recall there was a big liberal ideology on biological sex. I mean sure there are intersex people and all that but it is not generally a big political issue.

I would guess Tomi isn't splitting gender and sex.

Heh, Ms. Lahren is clearly too ignorant to even put together a decently fallacious tu quoque argument.  :lol:

Probably doesn't matter though - so is her intended audience.  :(

Welfare was introduced in the 1930s and the Republicans have not controlled the House since.

given what Syt told us of his sister(s), it's kinda ironic that she'd be saying fat people are lazy and Democrat...

You're probably thinking of that map that Raz likes to post which shows net flows of federal money and which, to my understanding, is largely reflective of the prevalence of military bases and retirees in the south.  Although it's true that shitty southern states like Alabama do get a lot of federal money for education.  I've never seen anything that specifically addresses prevalence of welfare spending.

And welfare per se is more or less extinct since the Clinton reforms of FICA.  IIRC something like 4 million people are on TANF, the replacement.  Welfare these days doesn't mean welfare, it means Section 8 housing, food stamps, and disability payments.
