If they want to argue that acepting the pardons makes the people Biden guilty of some imagined crime they have to admit that Nixon did the thing we all know hes guilty of. With how detached conservatives are these days to reality I don't think they could admit that nixon did anything wrong. Ah, i wasn't aware that modern conservatives actually claim Nixon did nothing wrong. But to be fair, most of my knowledge about Nixon is from Futurama. | ||

I mean current republicans think Matt Gaetz did nothing wrong, so as long as they wearing red not much matters. | ||

"One order would declare that the federal government would recognize only two immutable sexes: male and female. The definition will be based on whether people are born with eggs or sperm, rather than on their chromosomes. The change is being pitched as a way to protect women from “gender extremism.” Conservative groups such as the American Family Association are praising the change as one that acknowledges the truth. But experts including the American Medical Association and American Psychiatric Association hold that gender is a spectrum, not a binary structure consisting only of males and females." https://apnews.com/article/trump-sex-gender-transgender-dei-order-245350b97e0c4dcc221fefc49ef44699 What a moron. Tomorrow is he planning on signing executive orders to "decide" that the Earth is flat and only 6,000 years old? lmao. | ||

My guess is that Trump is defining "women" just as "cis-women" in that phrase, and I'm guessing that he believes that trans-women and non-binary people are examples of "gender extremism". Don't know for sure, though. | ||

Don't know for sure, though. Of course, it's just another way to get rid of trans people (trans women really, Trump and republicans dont even know trans men exist). The only goals for these peoples' policies are hurting someone else or making more money for themselves and their friends. | ||

Don't know for sure, though. This article lists Trump's promises regarding transgender rights. It's effectively a ban on trans people, as it simply disregards their existence point for point. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/261221/trump-vows-executive-action-on-day-1-to-end-transgender-lunacy | ||

Because women's sports has a long history of not letting cis women compete too. The administrators of women's sporting competitions are extremely unclear on what exactly a woman is. | ||

But if he goes through with this new rule it is going to open a different kettle of worms. | ||

Dems/Libs never drew any clear lines, so this is going to be bad, very bad. | ||

Don't know for sure, though. Probably all of the attacks on cis women by trans women in bathrooms. They happen all over the place, basically constantly. Can't go a minute without it. And eventually they are going to find one event of that. Or make one up. Also, yeah. Nazi salute at the inauguration...I wonder how that is going to be explained away. | ||
