RNC Adopts Trump's Proposed Platform

Not Religious
No surprise, the RNC is a corporate conglomerate pushing their corporate agenda. GOP = Greed Over People

I think you mean keeping trans-women out of women's sports. A trans-man is one who started life without any manly bits.

I can see why it might be controversial to trans-women, at the very least. Years of hormone therapy have rendered them incapable of meaningfully competing in men's sports, so banning them from women's sports just says to them, "forget sports, nobody wants to play with you."
They can continue to "play" with each other.
Most sports are segregated by sex, what is the problem in having '"trans" sports. It is only in recent times that there have been professional women's sports. We already are age grouping in sports so categorization is not a problem.

The top level of professional sport could be open to any sex. With prizes for first second and third, and additional prizes for first man, woman and trans. Only one prize per competitor.

Yes, I know. So maybe we should do genetic testing, and separate athletes even more appropriately. After all, you can train forever, but you can't alter your genes.

"Studies focused on similarities and differences in athletic performance within families, including between twins, suggest that genetic factors underlie 30 to 80 percent of the differences among individuals in traits related to athletic performance."

It's all sound bites -- same ole Trump strategy -- say what sounds good to the uninformed, or the too busy with real life to discern what's viable, and then do only what benefits his personal agenda, placing failures under a veil of illusion, also known as lies.

BTW -- inflation is a natural progression of capitalism. The issue is keeping wages in line with that progression. Again, out of government control beyond regulations on business/industry in a free economy.

Exactly -- and a lot of it is simply beyond the capacity of any President to implement. It's like King Arthur, assuring Guinevere that:
It's true! It's true! The crown has made it clear.
The climate must be perfect all the year.

A law was made a distant moon ago here:
July and August cannot be too hot.
And there's a legal limit to the snow here
In Camelot.
The winter is forbidden till December
And exits March the second on the dot.
By order, summer lingers through September
In Camelot.
Camelot! Camelot!
I know it sounds a bit bizarre,
But in Camelot, Camelot
That's how conditions are.
The rain may never fall till after sundown.
By eight, the morning fog must disappear.
In short, there's simply not
A more congenial spot
For happily-ever-aftering than here
In Camelot.

Camelot! Camelot!
I know it gives a person pause,
But in Camelot, Camelot
Those are the legal laws.
The snow may never slush upon the hillside.
By nine p.m. the moonlight must appear.
In short, there's simply not
A more congenial spot
For happily-ever-aftering than here
In Camelot.​

I am not convinced that it is practical to divide people with the fine tooth combe of genetics.
In reality sex at birth and trans are sufficient qualifiers.

Yes, perhaps I agree --

It's just that part of my make-up is to care about others, even the "different" ones. I know I can't fix all injustices. Doesn't mean I don't feel some frustration at my limitations in that respect.

A very large number of things on the list are with out any concept of how they could be done
Most are what might be called popularist, rather than implementable policies
They are just wishful thinking.

The dollar is only a reserve currency as long as other countries have trusts in it.
That trust is directly proportional to Americas debt status

It's borders are about as secure as a sieve

Those points can be divided up into two categories: the ones that are abysmal and the ones he's lying about.
