What a side show

I've been pretty much an amused observer of this clown show until my wife pointed out that M Jenner is going to receive the ESPY award for courage. What courage? Courage is sucking it up, not giving in.
I followed Lauren Hill's incredible journey of courage as an athlete and I cannot believe this goofball Jenner will receive an award for courage over her. Lauren is a real example of courage and determination. This is so effed up. ESPN is so effed up.

^^^^ Exactly. And if that's the "new normal", I want no part of normalcy.

Wow. Just wow.


I'm surprised that he couldn't find a surgeon to lop it off for him. Oh wait, Canada.

Maybe if he had journeyed to the land of fruits & nuts, he could have found a team of "understanding" surgeons to lop off a perfectly fine limb. --That land where anyone calling his discomfort/disease a mental problem would be met with sharp distain.

Exactly. The attention-whore family .. .

Let the idiots believe he always felt like a woman on the inside . . . when he won an Olympic Decathlon. ...you know, because Bruce Jenner knows, that muscling his way across a finish line is what it feels like to be a woman in this world. Besides, he's on TV. TV is idiocracy authority.

Um
When you speed, tailgate, rear end another car, and then that driver dies as a result..it is called manslaughter.
You are arrested and charged with a crime after causing a death.

In this whole bizarre fiasco, did the media (and public) totally gloss over that part?

I heard a bit of Rush when getting lunch today. Always amusing.
He declared that Jenner and any other transgendered individual is merely suffering from a mental illness that should be treated.
I'm not a Rush regular, but doesn't he also believe that homosexuality is a mental illness, also ?

Oye. Because a homosexual man who decides that vag penetration is just wrong is the new-speak poster-boy for perfectly sane. Nothing mentally awry thar. - Lather Rinse Repeat until you've convinced yourself.

n'No, it's a documentary on Outstanding American courage, heroism, and bravery. --just ask Dr no.

Seriously, the most disturbing thing about this is the herd tripping over each other to redefine this train-wreck as something beautiful. --pay no attention to the high suicide rate of people who have gone down that road. Just cheer him on... call it Bravery, heroism, courage ... whatever absolutely counter-indicated euphemism you can dream up. Then everyone will know that you Care - like only a true metro-sexual can. --which is to say, you like a good Kardashian show. ...the bigger the wreck, the better.

I think let Bruce Jenner do whatever Bruce Jenner want's to do.....I don't care, and will not watch his/her new show, or read any article about him, or anything related to that whole Kardashian bunch.

What really annoys me is the liberal, Hillary Clinton loving, GALA members making this whole fiasco there new platform for pushing their agenda onto an otherwise mostly conservative nation.

I think the only reason most people are keeping abreast (sorry) of the situation and will tune in to the new show is to watch a slow trainwreck in progress.
