If we have to suffer the dumbest people in existence running things can someone at least convince these bozos that manual transmissions are anti-woke so we can get them back as options in all our vehicles?

Representatives with legal rights to inspect Federal detention facilities are being blocked from doing so.

It’s taken court orders to force access, and then DHS still drags their feet to try and clean up their mess before inspections are made.

Red Cross doesn’t have any rights to access.

UK has been ahead of the US on anti-trans right for some time. Some states are now comparably as restrictive, but the UK nationally was worse.

You too can be one with Soylent Green!

It’s not wasted in that their core constituency eats this shit up.

They’re also too dumb to notice they’re being fleeced while looking the other way.

Headline needs to read “Utah green lights discrimination” in violation of Federal Law.

Yes, just look at Ashley St. Claire.

Matt Bernstein has an interview with her and while she seems remiss at her previously extreme views, that only seems to have happened after being a victim of the right.

Yep, NRA worked with Reagan (as CA governor) to pass legislation to restrict gun access because they were afraid of the Black Panthers having guns.

Trump is just a figurehead at this point. He's not making any real decisions. He's being spoon fed ideas and things to sign. It's the people behind him and supporting him that are the real problem.

They sadly will be around long after Trump is gone.

Not an attempt. Roberts has systematically eviscerated Democracy by gutting the Voting Rights Act, opening the flood gates on corporate political spending, and refusing to address political gerrymandering.

His court has enabled politicians to pick their voters and get paid by corporations to do so.

Loot, pillage and grift.

Everything they do is towards extracting maximum value for their cronies in as short a time as possible.

If it all burns to the ground during that time... they get theirs and can buy everything on the cheap after the fact.

Better yet, what you've stole through other people's labor!

Abortion isn't actually a "states right" issue for Republicans.

They just know a national ban is not passable and federal funding is already restricted from paying for abortions.

My only hope is that the gutting of Chevron precedent by SCOTUS will result in lower courts being able to quickly block these measures for at least a while.

Previously government opinion would have carried more weight, in theory it no longer does.

Then again SCOTUS will do what it wants.

Clearly now she realizes a bad career and probably life move would be to remain silent.

She could have represented her constituents from the start AND stood up for trans people.

She let Republicans walk all over her for what, a modicum of political play...

It's why people tire of democrats.

Neither of which are easy.

What is easy for a group of people who lack critical thinking is to get angry at something they don't understand. Mostly because that's what they were taught to do from a young age.

People in general have been conditioned and manipulated into "fearing" trans people because they represent "other", outside the norm. Trans people make people question themselves and their beliefs.

"If I find a tans woman attractive am I gay...?"

Or question their own gender identity..
December 15, 2025 at 11:32 PM
Politicians aren't afraid of trans people. They're merely using trans people to get into and stay in positions of power to advance their other objectives.

Guaranteed almost all politicians don't actually care about trans people outside this purpose.

"The pledge was part of a push for “Americanization.” Bellamy was one of many Protestant Americans of northern European heritage who believed that new immigrants from southern and eastern Europe, many of them Catholic, were harmful to the “American” way of life, and that they needed to assimilate."
December 15, 2025 at 11:21 PM
The "under god" bit wasn't original to the pledge. It was pushed to be included during the red scare of the 1950s. Mostly by bigots just as bad as the one we're all discussing.

Hell even the origins of the Pledge of Allegiance are steeped in bigotry.

Duly and democratically chosen has never stopped the US from interfering before.

Some of the world's worst geopolitical issues stem from US interference in countries with democratically elected officials that the US disagreed with.
