Proposed legislation behind the impending US government shutdown contains provisions that would ban federal funding for transgender adults, as well as youngsters.
It was never about the children.
state of emergency incoming
the soldiers are already in place
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.
I’m pretty certain you’re correct.
I’ve been loosely following along (I am not an American), and I did not realize the consequences myself. Holy shit, he’s basically halting paycheques for a lot of the people working directly and indirectly for the government.
I feel bad for those people. Hopefully they have enough to weather this storm until Taco gets advised that this action is fucking stupid as all hell.
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.
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.
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!
Yeah I’m pretty positive that he himself was a trafficker. Not just a client. Also a lot of the girls are likely dead.
I bet that is what is being hidden. Because it’s worse than what people think it is.
Maga is already ok with him being a pedo as long as it was girls.
So it has to be much worse than that.
Mass rapist demands human beings give up their rights just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
Has anyone tried telling trump he wasn’t rich enough to be on Epstein’s list.
Not that it matters when he’s dismantling our country.
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).
good to know the forced death of people like me is just a distraction to you.
Good. Do it. The government ain’t doing shit for people who actually need help anyways.
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.
While I understand it’s not ok to give in here, this is just an attempt to move the battle. There’s no need to justify defending human rights here (for any decent humans) but don’t let it distract us. We can’t waste time arguing this. Don’t let them move the goalposts. This is just “no” and return to the larger fight
Shut this shit down for good at this point. Worthless ass government.
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.
A shut down is an act of Terrorism as the democrats are all ANTIFA. The generals will be ordered to seize all the democratic government offices across the country.
as the democrats are all ANTIFA.
If only that were true…
Quite a few seem pretty content.
I believe the formal most recent act of terrorism at the Capital was in fact J.6th, and I thought those guys were MAGA loyalists, thus the pardons and all?
SHUT IT THE FUCK DOWN. WE DO NOT NEGOTIATE WITH FASCIST TERRORISTS.
Mike Johnson shut the government down to prevent the release of the Epstein files. Full stop.

If you want to piss off a Republican, make sure to correct them that it’s Romney-care, a Republican healthcare system, anytime they call it Obamacare!
Shut his ass down so the rest of the world can get on with good living

All trans healthcare? Does that mean all transition-related care? Or all healthcare to trans people?
My moneys on both
It would bar federal funding from going to any hospital or medical facility that provides gender-affirming care, including HRT. Like a Hyde Amendment for trans healthcare. Basically, no medical facility that wants to take Medicaid or Medicare would be able to provide gender-affirming care. Oh, you’ve got an entire hospital? That’s nice, but you have a single endo who prescribes HRT, so no funding at all for you.

Oh, so it would ban all healthcare as transcare. Got it.
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.
yeah that lasts about 0 time when you are deployed.
it would be catastrophic to koral and show the forces that Trump can’t control the shit fest he’s summoned.
They are fully funded for the year apparently.
