    “I haven’t heard from him,” she said. “He’s kind of busy right now. My gender marker is not big on the issue. OK. So I get that, and I’m not blaming him whatsoever. I love the guy, and I love what he’s doing.”

    Take a stance or STFU. If you love it, then STFU and take it like a beta. It’s what you want.

      I love the guy, and I love what he’s doing.

      What exactly is it she thinks Trump is doing so well? Trump genuinely has done nothing good, right?

        Trump genuinely has done nothing good, right?

        Everything he’s done has been good . . . for the rich. Overwhelmingly cut taxes for the top? Good for the rich.

        Overwhelmingly print money? Good for the rich.

        Decimate the communities of the poor? Good for the rich.

        Hike up gas prices? Good for the rich.

        Scapegoat a vulnerable population when people were starting to realize how caustic the Epstein class is? Good for the rich.

        Killing off infrastructure and mass-transit projects? Good for the rich.

        Spying on and setting up a massive database on the general population? Good for the rich.

        Leaking all the government’s personally identifiable information on its population to Musk via DOGE? Good for the rich.

          Leaking all the government’s personally identifiable information on its population to Musk via DOGE? Good for the rich.

          With DOGE, everybody charged with securing these buildings and agencies just stood aside, and let these arrogant, disrespectful, UNSANCTIONED children, led and paid by a foreign Oligarch, plunder every bit of our data, and dismantle every regulatory agency that was investigating his companies. He went in with many investigations and lawsuits, and came out with none, and the combined governmental data of every single American citizen. It was nothing less than 21st Century PIRACY.

          The first DOGE team that tried to breach a Federal Agency should have been gunned down in the lobby. That would have solved a whole lot of problems right there. Nothing in the aftermath of that action could compare with the irreparable damage DOGE did to this country. And on the heels of their success have been many more grifters, like Palantir, Lewandowski’s Syndicate, the crypto scammers, the poly market riggers, the stock market manipulators, and more.

          We’ve seen how MAGA falls apart at the slightest resistance. They NEVER think past the first step. A few bullets right up front, followed by a long, loud, noisy trial about the rights of foreign Sociopathic Oligarchs and the Epstein Predatory Class to exploit the rest of us for everything in our lives would have been productive by stopping their Blitzkreig right up front.

          If it’s one thing we’ve learned from these losers (by being even bigger losers), is that we should always call their bluff, because they are ALWAYS bluffing.

          We may have lost in the past, but we have intelligence and morality, something they do not possess, respect, or even understand. We can learn and improve, they can’t. They are virtuosically incompetent, and they’ll stay stupid, and that’s our competitive edge.

          So it’s time that we learned from our mistakes, pledge to not repeat them, form a coherent plan, and take back the planet from the MAGA Apes.

    Jenner noted that the policy could affect her ability to vote, adding that she did not believe the policy was “really thought out, what this means.”

    Oh, no, it was thought out: demonize and literally cast out trans people, removing their ability to work, move away, or be vocal in support of themselves. Then you move them into camps, either for “their protection” or to “protect society from them”.

      My favorite part is:

      “I don’t blame President Trump. I love him.”

      Their supreme leader can do not wrong.

      Totally not a cult, though.

        She described having the sex marker M on her passport as a “big problem,” adding: “I don’t blame President Trump. I love him.” Jenner said she appealed to him for help but received no response. Then the iron door to the gas chamber was slammed shut and locked from the outside. No further comment from Jenner has been forthcoming since.

        Hi Caitlyn! I do believe your supreme leader wants people like you to vanish, by shutting up, by being invisible or why not by dying.

        I would normally say don’t submit to any of that, you have our support. But in your case out of loyalty, maybe you should shut up, find a spot to lay low, and become invisible. You see I’m much nicer to you than him: I do NOT wish you to die!

      It was exactly what Trump and his Heritage buddies wanted. Guess the one who didn’t really think things through is one Caitlyn Jenner.

        She thought she was one of the “good ones” who wouldn’t be affected. I guess the problem with focusing so much on sports instead of education is that you never heard of Himmler’s “one good Jew” speech. Which was essentially that everyone knew “one good Jew” that they would save but if they did that, almost every Jewish person in the country would be saved, so there would be no exceptions for “good” Jewish people. [Excluding, of course, Hitler’s mother’s Jewish doctor, who Hitler ordered the Gestapo to protect, and whom Hitler eventually helped emigrate to the US, along with all his personal wealth.]

      The only policy not really thought out was her policy of blind loyalty towards someone who would dehumanize her to whatever extend possible, and when those were exhausted invent new ways to do so.

    I’m a trans woman living abroad. I’m in the middle of reviving my documents from my birth country because my US passport is about to expire but I can’t renew it. It has caused a ton of stress as you’d Imagine. I’m grateful I have a second country to fall back on, but a lot of people in the same position don’t, and it’s absolutely terrifying and a human rights violation.

    All just to say, on behalf of the trans community, choke on a gangrenous dick Caitlyn

    Bonus: Kudos to my Central American birth country for understanding and being massively helpful after 30 years away

      My trans sister from abroad is in the process of getting her passport from her other citizenship and they only recognize her ghost identity. But it is better than the rights currently afforded under USA law so we’re getting her protected.

      Thailand is my favorite place for trans culture (aside from bro exploitation behavior from tourist). I love that Thai people just do not care or judge, it’s just a normal thing.

          I recommend it! Thai people are super direct about things and not very sensitive so it might be a little weird at first. For example, a Thai person will call their friend fat to their face if they’re overweight in friendly banter and it’s acceptable because that person is actually fat and they know it and laugh along with their friend. It’s why the term “lady boy” isn’t a perjorative there. For Thai people it’s just someone who is trans and hasn’t had any operations. They call themselves that loudly and proudly and if you don’t like it then fuck you is basically the give. I love it and they were some of the most fun people I’ve met.
