Not for trans people. They are for white straight guys only 😤
It was never about the children.
state of emergency incoming
the soldiers are already in place
Yes it is
It's about hurting some of them
yes, but also maybe take the threat against trans people seriously? like, Trump just said he wants to ban trans healthcare. it seems like that should also be a big deal. saying that everything is a distraction from the Epstein files has become a distraction from some serious shit.
The point is that the Epstein files has been pretty much the only thing to bring cracks in Republican support for Trump.
Everyone who is upset at this news on Trans health care already know Trump is a useless piece of shit. His base on the other hand will probably cheer this on.
So driving that wedge that is the Epstein files is imperative if we want to chip away at his approval ratings and hope we can salvage this shit in next year's midterms (I know, a stretch).

CALL HIS FUCKING BLUFF!
LET HIM DO IT AND FAIL OR WITHDRAW AND BE WEAK
How enthusiastic are ICE agents deployed to whereever going to be without a paycheck?
Looking from outside in, seems to me that this is one of those rare instances where a lot of those already doing it would happily do it as a passion project or a hobby on the side… I’d wager most people with even a trace amount of morals wouldn’t do it, not for a paycheck or otherwise.

Go for it, you first.
Let them shut down the government. Keep it shut down. Let's see how long the troops will work for free.
I’m quite confident Schumer will continue to display the backbone of a sea cucumber and capitulate with no meaningful opposition whatsoever.

Oh, so when the government shuts down in a day or two, because you’re a piece of shit and no one wants to give you money to continue with being a piece of shit, of course you’re gonna blame trans kids for this
You piece of shit
I'm concerned they want to shut down that way they can keep it closed indefinitely. Funny that meeting with the top brass is coincidentally around the time of the shutdown.

Fuck this ridiculous man and his supporters. We should offer asylum in Europe for the people he's basically persecuting and denying basic rights to.
Great that we in Europe also like to piss on the rights of trans people. Just take a look at terf island or Hungary. If I remember right Poland also introduced some shit regulations on trans people, but dont count me on that.
And no I dont want to say, that the situation across Europe is the same as in the USA, but we better be careful, that the same shit doesn't happen here too.

I can't wait til this prolapsed asshole drops dead.
I'm still in the closet but have been making moves to try to transition and this fucking orange shit stain is ruining everything for every decent person here.
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.

Or the truth, Democrats are shutting down the government because Trump and his regime are developing into a fascist autocracy.
Democrats are shutting it down? I thought they were the minority.
Do it. Shut down the government. At least we'll get rid of ICE this way

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.
He could say it's because Democrat made hottdish always gives him diarrhea and he thinks it's sus and is shutting down the government so he can get bathroom peace and his followers would overwhelmingly accept it.
Making it about transgender is just a hate move and is trying to get violence going again after reading your comment.
Do it, fash.
Surely this is the last group of people whose rights he want to remove. Surely.
