He will surely be held accountable for this.

Those kids and their families should sue the fuck out of him.

Such a poor human being. And a leader?! Pathetic.

Somewhere, there is a bridge in Texas that is unguarded.

He put up an ad with these two girls' pictures and then claimed that they were transgender? What the fuck kind of thinking is that? Does he not care that his supporters would likely beat these girls to death?

Based on the stuff that went on in the olympics, he'll claim russia told him they had xy chromosomes, so everyone has to argue like that's the absolute truth from then on.

He would cheer them on and say it was a blow against the "trans agenda" or something, i'm sure.

"Heidi and I send our empty thoughts and useless prayers to the families of the senseless violence which I caused but will not accept responsibility for. I will continue to demonize the LGBTQ community because it scores me cheap political points with the bigoted party which I represent. I am utterly without a shred of dignity or honor but I'll still get votes because what are you gonna do, vote for a milquetoast centrist Democrat?

"Absolutely insincerely, Ted 'Don't you dare not refer to me by my preferred name' and Heidi 'My husband won't stop kissing Trump's ass since he called me ugly' Cruz."

The trans agenda:

  • equity and equality
  • being treated like human beings, complete with dignity and respect
  • brunch

There is no brunch under the heavy yoke of end stage hypercapitalism.
