The War on Democracy

[gotsnowgotslush]

The Democratic party has been ordered to remain as blank as a sheet of paper.Blameless, flawless, completely truthful, factual, and pure.


No mistakes are permitted. Perfection is demanded.

Which is a completely hypocritical demand from the Orange tRump sub-culture. *shrug* Hypocrisy is just another weapon used by the sub-cultures of the Republican party.


Sexism demands that a woman remain blameless, flawless, completely truthful, factual, and pure.

Racism demands that minority communities remain blameless, flawless, completely truthful, factual, and pure.

Bigotry demands that all religions remain blameless, flawless, completely truthful, factual, and pure.

Homophobia demands that all LGBT remain blameless, flawless, completely truthful, factual, and pure.


Hypocrisy demands that any and all corrupt sub-cultures of the Republican Alliance be allowed every weapon against Democrats.


gsgs comment- Blank as a sheet of paper ? What counter-atrack can be made against fuckery ?

Another pipe bomb addressed to White House intercepted

(From CNN's Evan Perez and Mary Kay Mallonee)

CNN has learned another suspicious package with a device addressed to the White House was intercepted at Joint Base Bolling in Washington, DC.

According to a law enforcement official, the device was similar to one sent to Soros' home, and similar to ones sent to homes of Clintons and Obamas.

The devices appear to be rudimentary but functional.

The White House-addressed device also contained projectiles.

Another law enforcement source said “There is a strong suspicion” the two packages intercepted last night and this morning are connected to the package targeting George Soros.

CLARIFICATION: At this time the Secret Service has intercepted TWO suspicious packages - one in NY and one in D.C. Reports of a third intercepted package addressed to the WH are incorrect. We refer media to our statement

While reports initially suggested a suspicious package was also addressed to the White House, Reuters later refuted these reports, citing an official familiar with the situation.

The HHS memo is the latest salvo in Donald Trump’s War on Transgender People

Trump’s not-so-surprising assaults on trans people has the heavy thump print of Vice President Mike Pence who, in his first congressional campaign in 2000, argued for public funding of so-called “conversion therapy” for LGBTQ people.


Trump, by choosing Pence, has added LGBTQ people to his already extensive list of scapegoated “Others,” which include Mexicans and all Central and South American-heritage people, First Nations peoples, Muslims, people with disabilities, all women, and NFL players and coaches taking a knee in solidarity with groups like Black Lives Matter protesting police attacks on black and brown people.

Justice Department Says Anti-Trans Discrimination Is Legal

October 25, 2018

That argument comes in a brief to the Supreme Court in a trans bias case the court may take up

The high court is deciding whether to hear a case involving a Michigan funeral home employee, Aimee Stephens, who was fired because she is transgender. In March, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit ruled that not only is discrimination against trans people sex discrimination, which is banned by federal law, but that Stephens’s employer, R.G. & G.R. Harris Funeral Homes, did not deserve an exemption from the law because of its owner’s religious beliefs regarding gender.

The appeals court reversed the trial court’s ruling, which had found in favor of an exemption, and sent the case back to the trial court for further consideration. But the company, represented by the anti-LGBTQ Alliance Defending Freedom, wants the Supreme Court to hear it instead, and it contends the appeals court’s ruling is wrong.

The Trump administration has apparently redoubled its efforts to exclude transgender Americans from the protection of federal civil rights laws

The existence of transgender people is not up for debate. This administration – based on news reports over the weekend in The New York Times – seems to think it can write transgender people out of existence by issuing regulations declaring that sex is determined at birth and cannot be changed.
