I'm now fully convinced he's a dictator calling himself a "president".
It must be TACO Tuesday…
Shut his ass down so the rest of the world can get on with good living
I hope he shuts down the government, honestly.... It might limit how much damage he does.
I honestly don't think he even knows what shutting down the government actually means. I'm betting he thinks it's just the poors not getting access to essential services, which he's probably fine with. I'm positive he doesn't realize that it cuts off literally every perk except for secret service that he gets as president. The entire White House staff will be sent home except for executives and unpaid interns.

As long as one of those interns will bring him McDonalds, he won't care.
Honestly, at this point the government already is shut down. It's been shut down for months. We're just still in the denial stage. Trump's claimed and a criminally corrupt SCOTUS has endorsed Trump just refusing to pay funds allocated by Congress. There is absolutely zero point in Democrats negotiating with Republicans on this, as Trump can just refuse to pay any Democratic priorities they fund.
I have to admit, you speak the truth.
Can it be blamed on the Dems? Alternatively, will it trigger the libs? He's fueled by spite and grift
Can or can't doesn't really matter to Trump. He will blame Democrats he will blame Biden he will blame "antifa" and he will blame immigrants. Trump is inherently incapable of taking responsibility for anything. He will just pick a group or person, usually one that is particularly irritating to him in that moment, and he will shove all the responsibility for everything that's going wrong on them.
Do it you fucking orange, do it.
But don’t be surprised when half your population moves to a better country.
getting rid of half the population is the goal. they'd prefer we emigrate (which is not nearly as easy as you seem to be assume) but killing us is also an acceptable means, as has been demonstrated.
Do it. Shut the government down. I don't think you got the guts to give away your power in protest, you orange bum
Trump isn’t man enough to do it. You won’t do it, pussy!
Shut it down, pussy.
This is fucked demand.
What are the chances he just drops this position?
That's terrible.
Cis people should be scared about this too. Things like supplementing estrogen (for woman after they have gone through menopause) or testosterone is a quite normal thing. Im betting my ass, that this regulations will affect these things too.
Laws don't bind the in-group
Until they move the in-group. Which they'll do if they continue to get their way. They have to keep projecting power like this to keep this up, and they'll continue to grind through subgroups of the population to do it.
You're not wrong, but you forgot that the in-group always shrink.
Also, it is usual for fascists to throw others "under the bus" as a way to save their own face.
The in-group is wide enough that the people at the edges are hit with the splatter when the guy at the top takes another dump.
If he makes it illegal to even provide estrogen or testosterone to patients, hospitals won't stock it.
Why so fragile
lets refuse to fund his magic bed
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.
At this point, even the most die-hard republicans should be horribly ashamed by the fact this "man" is even allowed to participate in politics.
Eh, who am I kidding? Few bad apples spoil the bunch, and it‘s already happened worldwide. Trump has become only a symptom of the wretched corruption that is everywhere.
Nobody cares
Actually, a lot of people care.
Trump will do a thousand crazy things to deflect from his children rapes. Look here! Look there! Look up! Look down! Look left! What a maroon. A dangerous maroon. (Not a misspelling but a Bugs Bunny reference).
Still scrolling down looking for the basic Transgender Solidarity post but I guess allies are sleeping in....
Trans dance party starts here. I am starting the dance party.
Then we can take a break and write our reps and remind our friends and go back to our daily revolutionary work of staying alive and experiencing joy three steps ahead of the murderbigots.
Ally here, can confirm, was sleeping in. I'm up in Canada though, so trying to make positive change up here.
