Well I guess no more gender affirming surgeries for balding fat loser white guys also then.
What about the Epstein files? Someone should remind him.
Or the truth, Democrats are shutting down the government because Trump and his regime are developing into a fascist autocracy.
I have to fly back into the states soon, I would appreciate it if air traffic controllers would first off, get proper time off, pay, and benefits, but also that they are paid
You might want to fly into Canada/Mexico and then take a bus.
You might want to fly into Canada/Mexico ~~and then take a bus.~~
FYFY
I feel like it's a misdirection. Like, this isn't what he really wants. This is a ploy to get/do something way, way worse. Or use this to cover up the Epstein files or something. He'll use the shutdown and a hot button topic to get what he sees as a big fish...
Eliminating all trans people is what he really wants. The genocide of trans people is already happening in the US. When trans people don't have access to trans-related medical care, they die at very high rates. When ~~trans~~ people are terrorized by their government and their neighbors, they lash out. When ~~trans~~ people are labeled as terrorists, there can be no peace.
The Mormons, Southern Baptists, and some Jewish groups just asked the Supreme Court to consider trans people exempt from equal protections clause of the 14th amendment.
The genocide of trans people and immigrants is happening. Now. Today.
Government shutdown is also what he really wants, because he wants unrest and violence to justify sending the military to cities to carry out his nazi terrorism, declare a national emergency, and hold a third term in office.
Why couldn’t it also be what he really wants? What part of anything happening in the US and anything coming from the right could possibly signal that they don’t want this?
Conservatism is a cancer and fascism is perfectly happy to turn that knob up to 11.
Its almost as if he doesn't care about the reason and will make up anything on the spot.
Oh, and hes also a child fucker.
I'd call him a garbage human, but he's way beyond sub-human at this point
How dreadful! For many trans people it'll endanger their lives.
It all reminds me of what was happening in Russia over the decades, just smashed into an impossible timeline. Small steps lead to irrevocable disasters.
Wait.
Is he trying to reverse psychology something
He's trying to convince his very stupid followers this is a shutdown he started over transifa. They will overwhelmingly accept this.
Let him TACO this. His base wants other people to suffer, not themselves.
Do it. Shut down the government. At least we'll get rid of ICE this way
Sounds like he's looking for a win because he's going to lose on healthcare in general. It's a smart way to go about it because the transgender people are going to be sacrificed again and it puts healthcare at the top. It's smart, but 100% evil.
If the Democrats cave on that, then fuck them too.
But as far as I'm concerned Trump just delivered an easy win for the Democrats - this is an easy out for Democrats to not cooperate with Republicans (obviously morally abhorrent demand) and shift the blame for the shutdown to the right.
Surely this is the last group of people whose rights he want to remove. Surely.
lets refuse to fund his magic bed
Also, dems should demand epstein files be released to prevent a shutdown.
