    I hope this piece of shit chokes on his own blood. And anyone who defends him can suffer the same fate.

    Back in my day we would glitter bomb naughty politicians.

    Glitter-Bombing: A Sparkly Weapon Of Disapproval On The Campaign Trail

    Edit:

    If you want, I haven't heard of a bad history with Lambda Legal. Actual OG LGBTQ legal fund that sues government entities. They were part of the "underground" queer network during DADT.

    The next phase of this fight is to sue the ever living fuck out of the government and drag them kicking and screaming. It shouldn't have come to this. You'd think of all the Dems would have learned. Yes rub it in the faces of every vote no matter who goul and tear them apart.

      he's fooling the same people who think he did everything he could to rein in Israel, i.e registered Democrats

    Biden said that he and his administration "strongly opposes" restrictions on gender-affirming care for trans youth in a White House statement released after he signed the bill.

      Genuinely I hate this more than I hate the republicans. I’d rather the guy who says “fuck you” while he stabs me in the front than the guy who says “I strongly oppose this” as he stabs me in the back.

      Joe Biden is a demon who has done far more evil in his life than Donald Trump could dream of. I hope he dies soon, I hope it’s painful, and part of me hopes hell is real so he can rot there.

        Think that only some state governors can line-item veto and not the president, but that doesn't make his statement any less hollow

    A few months ago, I cut contact with a group of libs because they accused me of not caring about trans people over my refusal to vote for Biden back when he was still the expected candidate. Can't really take any pleasure in how I was vindicated, though.

      democrats are just such good sports and gracious losers that they're jumpstarting the next administration's "horrible platform of destroying democracy and the america we love" so they can get even more of it done

    This is like the first federal anti LGBT bill in 30 years. Trump didn't do this, Bush didn't do this.
    I don't think you have to hand it to Trump given how much state level discrimination he enabled, but Biden has managed to make things a little worse across the country.

      This is going to be a selling point for the democrats in the midterms.

      “We passed the first anti-lgbt bill in 30 years, not Bush nor Trump! Are we cool yet, America? We’re folksy conservatives just like you!”

    What does the right have to complain about?

    The American reactionary is the most spoiled rotten demographic in human history.

      Everyone in that admin should be in jail for fraud, as should the accomplices in the media.

        oh god!!! it's even worse that i thought it could be on .world; they're excusing it while simultaneously ignoring why it passed in a democratic senate and presidency.

        in their minds: it's somehow okay because it only makes life tougher for a few trans people instead of all trans people.

        also, nice touch w so few responses a day later; luigi has taught me that the most effective way to manufacture a narrative is to include the things you want to suppress by acknowledging it in a shortest, smallest way possible so that you can have plausible deniability that you're suppressing anything.
