MicroWaveTrump threatens to shut down US government unless all trans health care is banned
thallamabondIt was never about the children.
Yes it is
It’s about hurting some of them
FUUUCK
Thought this was gonna be a 2026 thing.
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
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 general will be ordered to seize all the democratic government offices across the country.
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, this the pardons and all?
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.
Do bus drivers get proper pay, benefits and sleep?
Most places they at least get the sleep. I know the pay abd benefits locally are adequate.
Well i certainly woukd, but this person mentioned coming to this shit hole country.
Not taco. Please stop. The more you say it the less it’s true. Is your feeling okay more important than fascism flaking?

I thought the point of the phrase was to bruise Trump’s ego and reputation? It’s not “We believe this in order to make ourselves feel better,” but rather “Trump attempts to project a strong self-image, but he’s actually an insecure little chicken shit without a sense of personal conviction.”
This just provokes him, it doesnt actually degrade his power base like Epstein stuff at least theoretically should.
Yes, its true, but if you keep provoking him his senile ass will just start committing to shit for the sake of it. It gives him a clear out and it’s not oje we want him to take.
Fascists never need an excuse to react. They’ll find scapegoats when they want to, but the fact is they don’t truly need them in order to retaliate - Trump and his ilk will do what they do regardless of what the rest of us say.
Great to hear the center right finally understands that!
This isnt about fucking excuses though. This is about ego.
Confused_EmusIt would be an insult to garbage.
The government was going to shut down anyway, and it’s been known for awhile now. It’s a fight about Obamacare benefits set to expire this year.
Trump’s just piling on.
It’s a yearly ritual at this point.
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!
pelespiritSounds 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.
The problem is that the ‘blame’ is determined by the media. The Dems can blame Republicans all they want, but if the big media players frame it as their fault, all the idiots not paying attention will fall right in line.
Well it’s sure as shit not democratic politicians, so what exactly is your point here?
Billionaires own the media. the media will be blaming Democrats.
It’s a foregone conclusion
That’s my point. There’s absolutely no winning for the Democrats here, no matter the outcome. They’ll be blamed for shutting down the government and all the subsequent shit Trump breaks in the aftermath, or they’ll be blamed for ‘giving in’ and letting Obamacare die. It’s an absolute no win situation.
there are only. 001 maybe less of the population. It’s a non-issue in reality. Unfortunately, they make it an issue to divide people.
slothropThe other stuff is also bad–the fascism and stuff–but it might be useful here.
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.
lennybirdThe 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.
It just feels a lot like “oh, trans people? Fuck em. Show me the list!”
Like I really don’t see how it helps anything to post it here. Go talk to conservatives about it instead of posting it in threads where everyone already knows about it.
Because calling it a distraction when he is actively trying to kill me and people that I care about really just feels like y’all don’t give a shit about us either.
Personally I don’t get that impression of, “Oh, trans people? Fuck em.” It’s more, “Strike them at their pressure points because look at this kind of fucked up shit they’re doing!”
You never know who the lurkers are, and it refreshes minds of our side to go out and remain on message. It’s useful to me in that regards.
Chloé 🥕I’m actually for that, but a different 1%, that’s actually hurting everyone.
Let’s stop all healthcare for that 1% yeah.
Oh i can think of a couple procedures I’d like them to have access to.
Well, sure, but remember that Harris was so terribly transphobic many people just plain didn’t vote at all! Which is obviously the Democrats’ fault for running such a terribly transphobic candidate.
And yes, this option that we have here, this - ban transgender federal funds, make trans people terrorists - was the only other choice available. But that still means it’s the Democrats’ fault because otherwise you’d have to blame people who didn’t do the one most important thing they could to prevent this and obviously we can’t blame them.
Look, we’ll call it even and should we somehow make it to the midterms next year we’ll all decide to protest by not voting again. Then the Democrats will really start paying attention to us! Pretty soon after that, bang-zoom! Workers will seize the means of production and . . do something with chains. Ride bikes maybe? Anyway, sounds fun.
With coalition building and solidarity like this, I can’t imagine how they lost.
No point in electing dems if they dont fix anything, prosecute crimes against humanity or coups, etc. They haven’t shown willingness so far.
