Supporting people is lawful.
Whether the laws he passes are legitimate, up for debate.
His EOs aren't laws. That takes Congress.
What
The
Actual
Fuck?
By supporting they mean what? Calling the kid the name they want to be called by?
They don't necessarily need to explicitly teach gender and racial studies, whatever. But don't tell my kids' teachers they can't be courteous to the kids. The kids don't care one bit when someone who was a girl comes back saying they are a boy, they are nonchalant as fuck about it.
You have lost this round, conservatives. The generation who will raise the next generation is already grown up with more reasonable teaching and parents who model tolerance, there are too many of us for you to be able to control us.
Go back to your lairs and work on some other evil plan.
They dont wanna go after todays kids, they want the next generation. One decade of control, and they can raise Gen Beta in the bigoted pseudo50s hellacape they always dreamed of
They already made women second class citizens. Now they're moving on to vulnerable minorities.
Sound like any other examples from history?
I'd say the alarms have started going off, but they've been going off for quite some time now. Deaf and dumb Americans as a whole can't hear them though.
Let's play the "replace the group with jews and see if they sound like a Nazi"
Trump tells DOJ to proescute teachers who unlawfully support jewish students.
Eyup
Fascism isn't coming.
It's already here.
“No transgender, no operations—you know, they take your kid—there are some places, your boy leaves for school, comes back a girl. Okay? Without parental consent.” He added, “At first, when I was told that was actually happening, I said, you know, it’s an exaggeration. No: it happens. It happens. There are areas where it happens.”
Gotta wonder if he's manufacturing reality or if he's also caught up in a manufactured reality.
He knows his out is now "I saw it on TV"
It's definitely both.
He's a conman by nature, not by intelligence.
He inherently knows he has to manufacture lies to get what he wants, but he's very clearly not an actually intelligent person and you can clearly tell sometimes that he's 100% bought into some conspiracy theories, the same way any dumb person would. The guy's brain is mostly fried, but the conman in his nature is still there. Will be until he's 6 feet under.
I can't believe there's a single person who believes that children are being snuck into hospitals to just have a quick 20,000 dollar surgery that takes months to fully recover from during lunch and sneaking them home without anyone noticing
If they had critical thinking skills, we wouldn't have Trump as president.
Dipshit Donnie, your executive orders are not laws. They also only apply to federal government. As far as I know, we don't have federal schools except for the armed forces academies.
They'll probably end up making federal aid contingent on being assholes. Just like how Reagan coerced the states into 21 year old drinking age by withholding highway funds.
It works like this:
While EOs are not laws, they have the potential to do massive amounts of damage because most of the government runs on agencies under control of the Executive. And while universities and public schools are not federal, they receive shit tons of funds through grants, contracts, and subsidies from a wide array of federal agencies (see: academic panic at the NSF and NIH halting grant review and funding as a result of Trump’s recent orders).
We're deciding right now how much power Executive Orders have.
It had strict definitions for its use, now the president is trying to stretch that power further.
How many people comply without being physcially forced is what determines how much power he truely has.
How many people comply without being physcially forced is what determines how much power he truely has.
Bingo.
So far America appears to be overflowing with pussies who are willing to bend the knee to an anti-democratic felon rapist.
Our ancestors are weeping.
How many people comply without being physically forced is what determines how much power he truly has.
That’s why the reduction of protections for federal employees was so important to implementing this phase. A lot of people have already been fired or reassigned which makes it really difficult for them to “do” anything.
The ones they're trying to get to resign can't be fired due to unions and they know it
That is exactly what I was saying how Reagan coerced states to raise drinking age.
Right on. I was just outlining how they’d probably make it personal against the teachers.
