Okay, so, I wasn't going to submit these here because I've really had quite enough of politics for the year but it seems the mainstream media are having an absolute blackout on anything critical of Hillary, to the point of CNN has both coincidentally lost a sitting congressman's satellite feed immediately after mentioning wikileaks and tried to tell their viewers that even reading the wikileaks emails is illegal.
These two videos by Project Veritas Action, apparently with more to come, are the result of a year or so of actual investigative journalism and deserve coverage somewhere though. I don't personally care at all if you like Hillary or not but it's always better to know the truth than to stick your head in the sand, so here they are.
The first part in the series is titled Clinton Campaign and DNC Incite Violence at Trump Rallies. It basically shows precisely what it says it does. Hidden cameras capture Scott Foval of Americans United for Change not so much admitting as bragging that they have operatives in numerous major cities that are actually trained in how best to incite violence at Trump rallies.
The second part of the series is again aptly titled Mass Voter Fraud. In this video Scott Foval is again captured going into minute detail on how not only go commit mass voter fraud but how to get away with it.
Scott Foval and Robert Creamer (also in the videos) are currently unemployed as a result of these videos. Whether Mrs. Clinton should be as well, that's for you to decide.

Look up the BCCI scandal and remember that few people were ever charged and the money and power was left untouched. It's not that the US liberal party controls them, it's that they control the Democratic Party and the BBC and CBC and so on, so they get to define what liberals and progressives are allowed to believe. Leftist ideas like Transgenderism and Islamophobia are literally invented in a board room somewhere and pushed out on all controlled channels simultaneously when they come to a consensus to adopt the platform.

Your tinfoil hat may be on too tight.
I have read somewhere that if you want ideas to spread, you have to do it at the grass-roots first. When a new idea pops up in the Mainstream Media, It may look like a coordinated plot. But it may actually mean that fact-checking was happening with local people.
I specifically object to the notion that transgenderism is a leftist idea. I know of several transgendered people brought up in conservative families. They had to decide that life was more important than good relations with their family. Being transgendered is not something you choose.

Nice tangent there. He wasn't talking about being a tranny, he was talking about how the left has taken up championing them as special snowflakes who are oppressed by everyone who doesn't actively campaign for them.

I used that term, "special snowflake" at work last night, in a mixed crowd of male, female, black, white, and Mexican. Amazingly, most of them had never heard the term. Their reactions were - interesting. Special snowflakes. It seemed to have slightly different connotations for black people, but they all got a kick out of it.

Many people on the right appear to want to deny the existence of trans people. I have seen trans people called special snowflakes [www.therebel.media] or similar just for wanting to be gendered properly.

Trannys are by definition not gendered properly. And no, it's not to dehumanize them. It's to keep the vast majority of the other users of the bathroom from having to be freaked out by a weirdo being around them while they're especially vulnerable.
Yes, I'm sure they have to piss the same as I do. Let them find a one-holer. That way they might get a scowl for being in the wrong bathroom but nobody is really going to care and the 99% of us who aren't confused about what gender we are can take a shit in peace.

Apparently not if you're still missing the point. 99% of the population should not be inconvenienced to accommodate an extreme minority that have affirmatively chosen to be deviant.

Just where do you think they were going pee before if became a hot-button issue?
They are not asking for special accommodation. They are asking to be left alone.

No, they're asking to make the vast majority of the nation uncomfortable to accommodate their chosen weirdness.

Trans people try to act invisible while using the washroom.
If they don't pass well, they are probably more nervous than the rest of the population.

...and here's where your argument falls apart. Transgendered folks don't choose to be trans, we're born that way, and we aren't "deviant" by any stretch, or at least no moreso than anyone else.
I just want to go in, find a toilet, do my business, wash my hands, straighten my clothes, and leave, same as any other woman. I don't need anyone accosting me, or claiming I'm just there to spy/ogle, or something else equally ridiculous.
What's so difficult about that concept? The only real demands any one of us have can be summed up thus:
I'm just here to pee, so leave me the hell alone!

You apparently don't know what the word deviant means. You should look it up.

I still say the recent fascination of the media with transgender issues grew out of a drunken bet between press hacks who thought they could get the whole world talking about it, in much the same way that L Ron Hubbard and his buddy bet they could invent a religion and created Scientology.
