Truth Lies and Leadership.
Of what possible relevance is Truth?
And if you have a non disclosure agreement with a porn star, I think everyone knows what the truth is; they just don't know the various clinical details, but then again who really wants to know them.

Uh oh, anecdotal evidence. My brother
drives truck for a big local manufacturing
company that has 4000 employee's and 7
factories. He says they have a hiring blitz
like the company has never seen in it's
65 years of existence. Because of Trump,
and now the tariffs, they've added 3rd shifts
to keep up and can't find any qualified people
to hire. They are literally pulling their hair
out. He's been working Saturdays and getting
double time, never saw that before either.

Damn the new 'new normal'.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Male birth control pill showing promise in early trials

Huge, huge, huge! I would predict that when this hits the market, birth rates in all developed countries falls below replacement level and never returns above it absent major government incentives. A collapse in guys who get trapped as their women let themselves get pregnant when they said they would not. Not as big an effect as the first female pill, but major.
The President is a fink.

Agreed as to not being as big as females having control but don't think it will be major as too many men will TALK about not wanting some woman to trap them into marriage/support payments but very few men will actually DO anything about it. High income sports figures with "A is for Athletes" grades may go for it though.
Different situation if you can advertise it as inhibiting spermatogenesis but enhancing overall performance.
Viagra with a hormonal condom will make real money.

Here is how I see it. Many men are serious but condoms are the least effective method of birth control out there. Women have been known to retrieve them from the trash or poke holes in them. Those guys victimized would get the pills. I will concede there are lots of guys, though, who figure they will leave it up to her. I'd project that white and asian males will be the most likely to use the product with hispanics and blacks the least likely.

What his birthplace have to do with anything
Misogynist cop?

How about this story of the cop that shot the innocent mental health employee

http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/crime/article90905442.html
"Kinsey said when he asked the officer why he fired his weapon, the cop responded, “I don’t know.”
By Wednesday, North Miami police hadn’t offered much of an explanation. Assistant Police Chief Neal Cuevas said the investigation has been turned over to the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office."

Is where this cop was born important?
Should we describe this cop as anti mental health employees?

Even though it's connected to the Trump campaign, I don't think (for once) Trump has much to worry about. But Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook could suffer fines totaling 2 trillion for the data sharing.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?
