  • Abdul expressed frustration that Trump’s focus on divisive issues, rather than economic policies, is making it harder for Black supporters to defend him.

    Big “he’s not hurting the people he’s supposed to hurt” energy.

    Also, really hard to feel any sympathy and respond with anything other than

    Because we all fucking knew this is what he was going to do. Anyone who supported him and is surprised doesn’t necessarily need to be laughed at, but I’m not exactly going to be very sympathetic to them getting the shit we knew was coming. They’re just mad that it wasn’t chocolate ice cream they opened up for…

    Yep. The 13th amendment didn’t abolish slavery like we’re taught in schools, but made it so you could be legally enslaved as a punishment for committing crimes. They then just happened to make shit like “walking around at night while black” or “being unemployed and black” crimes that they could imprison you for and make you a slave again.



  • I only see an issue with it if you are in-between getting the identification modified as the gears of beaucrarcy grind very slow

    Or, you know, you live in a red state that fights tooth and nail to not update that information, all in the hopes that this day would eventually come.

    Updating your vital records is a state level item, and the process will vary by state, and that’s a requirement to get it changed on your Federal passport. Please don’t forget that a large amount of states have been trying to pretend these people don’t exist, and now the federal government is trying to help make that a reality. For an example of the difficulties as reported 3 years ago:


    States requiring proof of surgery, court order or altered birth certificate to change gender marker on driver’s licenses

    Georgia.
    Guam (U.S. Territory).
    Iowa.
    Kentucky.
    Louisiana.
    Northern Mariana Islands (U.S. Territory).
    South Carolina.
    Tennessee.
    Texas.

    States requiring proof of surgery, court order or altered birth certificate to change gender marker on birth certificates

    Alabama.
    Arizona.
    Arkansas.
    Georgia.
    Guam (U.S. Territory).
    Iowa.
    Kentucky.
    Louisiana.
    Missouri.
    Nebraska.
    New Hampshire.
    North Carolina.
    North Dakota.
    Wisconsin.

    States barring residents from amending their gender designation on official documents

    Montana.
    Oklahoma.
    Tennessee.
    West Virginia


    I’ll note again that this was 3 years ago, before the massive wave of anti-trans legislation in the last couple of years.










  • he supports trump cause he’ll “run the country the country like a business”

    THIS MOTHERFUCKER BANKRUPTED A CASINO.

    People say they want him to run the country like a business, but that man bankrupted a money printing machine, probably because he was doing all kinds of illegal shit and didn’t actually run his business like a business. Why would he run a money printing country any different than his money printing business.

    My dumbass uncle feels the same way as yours, and I have to bite my tongue so after to remind him that he and trump have something in common: they both embezzled from their company until it died.
