How many kids did this fucker rape??? Every day it's a new horrid thing to try and distract us from the fact He Raped Children!
Trump rounds trans people up into death camps
"another attempt to distract us from the Epstein files!"
Mass rapist demands human beings give up their rights just doesn't have the same ring to it.
The Democrats should threaten shut the government down unless they release the Epstein files. Fuck it all, make the Republicans have to tell their constituents they were willing to shut the government down to protect the Pedophile in Chief
That would require the democrats to act as an actual opposition party, which they have basically never done.
EDIT: I apologize, I must make a correction, the democrat party did act as an actual opposition party from approximately 1861 until the early 20th century, but I don't think anyone should cite that as a proud example.
Shut it down so adults can start a new one.
SHUT IT THE FUCK DOWN. WE DO NOT NEGOTIATE WITH FASCIST TERRORISTS.
Shut this shit down for good at this point. Worthless ass government.
What about the Epstein files? Someone should remind him.
Good. Do it. The government ain't doing shit for people who actually need help anyways.
I'm in one of those, fucked either way cases. If the government doesn't shut down, I lose my healthcare, if it does shut down I potentially lose my job since I work for the government.
Hey! A fellow gov worker! So, how's the last 6 months been stress shitting your guts out and expecting to be fired every day? Because I'm sure as fuck not having a good time and want off this god damned ride.
Funnily enough, I was a government worker shortly before Trump took over. The highlights included gaslighting me on my rights as a worker, telling me not to rock the boat, then shitcanning me when I filed grievances with my union. The very same union that refused to go to bat for me because "arbitrations are expensive".
Also having my eyes opened to the absolutely ludicrous waste generated by government operations. I saw brand new 24 inch computer monitors still sealed in the box thrown in the trash, but I was simply told "there is no government waste" when I asked what was going on. Seeing a forklift bought for a single job before being "scrapped" was also wild.
Honestly, do yourself a big favor and look for a transfer to private sector. I've got a union that actually listens to me now and better benefits than a fed. Couldn't be happier.
Sorry you're in that position. I can't believe this is where were at. Who non millionaire could possibly be on the presidents side on this one?
So wait…. You’ll shut down the biggest thing that has been causing everyone so much grief?
Don’t threaten us with a good time. Also;
WE DON’T NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS.
Shut his ass down so the rest of the world can get on with good living
Let him TACO this. His base wants other people to suffer, not themselves.
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.
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.
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.
I'm now fully convinced he's a dictator calling himself a "president".
Just now?? His third term and beyond aren't jokes. He never makes jokes that's not a veiled threat. The dude has such little empathy at his age that he isn't able to feign anything without revealing his real intentions.
It must be TACO Tuesday…
Meaning he will spend Wednesday and Thursday on the toilet?
The Trumpie Regime has been putting out AI videos…..
I know what it meant. But I was making a joke...
I refuse to leave my home and I refuse to move but if and when the American state dies I will celebrate. Trump should know this, there will not not be mass waves of refugees but a vast army of workers ready to crush his skull and leave him hanging by the legs.
Do it you fucking orange, do it.
But don’t be surprised when half your population moves to a better country.
No fuck that bullshit, I was born in the city of New York, I have lived most of my life in this city, and I will be damned if I have to leave. From my point of view I will stay in this city until the federal government fucks off and if I have to fight so be it.
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.
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.
Do it. Shut the government down. I don't think you got the guts to give away your power in protest, you orange bum
Shut it down, pussy.
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.
Sorry I'm late.
They weren't sleeping in, they were just sleeping. You posted this six hours ago. Six hours ago it was 7am on the east coast and 4am on the west coast.
