A Big Tell

In the next four years the President of the United States will be called upon to make multiple critical decisions about a multitude of things, many of which are not yet on the horizon. Who knows what will happen in 2021, 2022, etc.? After all who could have foreseen the Covid pandemic?  What will be the next critical decision that must be made by our next President?

The best any of us can do is look at what the candidate is saying now about certain things, and then project what he might say and how he would respond to certain issues.

Right up front, I did not watch the Biden ABC Townhall. However, a few days later I saw his response to the question from a mother of a transgender child. (At this point whatever your thoughts are on transgenderism, they are irrelevant.) The shocking thing to me was Biden’s response.

Biden told the child’s mother the following: “The idea that an eight-year-old, a 10-year-old, decides, you know, I decide I want to be transgender. That’s what I think I’d like to be, it would make my life a lot easier—there should be zero discrimination.”

That is certainly worth reading again and then take a second and see what he is saying! He is saying that an eight year-old should be able to decide about his/her gender. I have met and spoken to many eight year olds in the past. Most of them are not mature enough to decide what kind of birthday party might be best for them. None of them, and I emphasize, NONE OF THEM are mature enough to decide about their gender. What kind of a nincompoop would think that this kind of a decision should be made by a relatively young child?

To put this in poker parlance this is a big tell. (Tells help poker players decide how that opponent will act in similar situations.)

How can someone who is running to be our president say something so foolish? Everyone knows that the questions on Biden’s Townhall were screened and handpicked. Consequently in general, he knew what kind of questions were coming, and still he says:

“The idea that an eight-year-old, a 10-year-old, decides, you know, I decide I want to be transgender. That’s what I think I’d like to be, it would make my life a lot easier—there should be zero discrimination.”

OMG! Help!

How could any reasonable person agree with his nonsensical response. 

For a minute just think of what kind of ludicrous response he might give if he didn’t know what question was coming ahead of time. If it is reasonable for an eight year old to decide this sort of issue, why not let them vote?

If Biden gets elected, God help us all!
