Trigger warning.
Unfortunately I am getting mentally ill over this stuff now. I'm glad we can keep it to this place on the forum, the toxicity is rather high, as it must be. That way we can focus on the newbies needs, we have a bunch of silent ones, they need to have our focus as well.
Trump yesterday summarily dismissed 15,500 trans military personnel and ended any enlistment opportunities for trans people to serve in the military. He just destroyed at least 15,500 lives, not the least of which is Kristin Beck. In my opinion, he prefers a living Ben Ladin to a serving transwoman. Thats how warped this man of hate is.
On facebook, I have many warrior friends, many friends that are part of the resistance, many who have been trans advocates and activists. Even ally judges. Many of them are getting progressively suicidal, and I have lost too many friends since this guy got into office and since HB2. Its flat out carnage.
In my opinion, Trump and his party is guilty of planned, subtle genocide.
Having nearly lost my life earlier this year to bigotry in the hospital, and having been stripped of my job, insurance, and home also due to bigotry, to end up in a rat infested basement so my daughter could have a place to live since she lost everything through my son in law who served in Iraq and afganistan and wigged out an threatened to kill my family, starting with me, in front of her eyes....
I focus now on what I have, I have a lot. But this year, I found my wildest dreams, and now have lost nearly all of them, and am starting over, again.
And the KKK and alt right that are empowered, and others, these are the people that destroyed my children's minds, when they were so young and I fled into an attic in Brooklyn to hide from the KKK when they started with the gunshots over our house, to drive us out. Overnight, middle of hte night, we fled.
My battle now is to remain strong, and to give as much hope and emotional support as I can to the survivors of trans. And that is getting harder to do, as I need support as well.
Meanwhile, my God has once again placed me in a place of safety. But the damage to me and my family and loved ones by hate is so severe.
As Ativan pointed out to me last night, I have so much more than so many trans people have. May my pen be sharp as a sword, and my art as fierce as a lion, that I can face this evil, and shame it as what it is.
So Trump, congratulations. You are destroying the very strongest of us, so you can destroy the very weakest of us. Some man you are, that you would beat to death the harmless children of trans, the most marginalized people on earth. Big man you are.
Really, really big. Just a pillar of Christian values.
Some day, the Lord of all may look at you, and say
Your fired.
But I would not wish that even on you.
Big man you are. And all like you, including my ex boss who you hired for your hotel.
All of you guys are just nothing more than bullies with big dicks in a circle jerk.

Even trump can't stop the flow of information about the crap he tries to pull as if he is the king. He really doesn't understand that congress actually has much more power than he does, see what they did when cornered about ACA? Now the news is saying he tried to get 'his' justice dept to drop the federal case against Arpaio, to just make it disappear because he wants it that way. For his birther buddy, for the, lol, worlds biggest asshole sheriff. His buddy is the guy that even the feds found guilty of trying to get out of the case brought against him by not following the rules and they found him in contempt. Whatta guy he is, but he's trumps guy and that makes him... just trumps guy. Trump didn't follow protocol, and there is bound to be legal snarls for him over this, but he pulled the 'I am King' card and did it anyways. No word about him and the hurrican in TX, it's better that way, they have a much better chance with him away from the action, let him sit in the corner and twitter away about the crap he see's on the entertainment channel Fox News, and it is, they can't get a real license and they are illegal in Canada for pretending to be real news... for pretending to be real news, you can get all the other news stations and such there, but Fox News is illegal to broadcast. I like that he can get through a day and find out what's going on in his fantasy world by watching the fantasy news channel, but as the president it pretty much sucks that he trusts Sean Hannity over his own people, and Hannity is really out there in lala land of the lost, no conspiracy is to small for him to blow up into something way bigger than it is to pretend it's real news, that the president watches and then tweets about, like he doesn't have president things to do...N Korea blew up three missiles in a row trying to make them work so they can pretend to look scary, and that screws trumps bs about them having respect for him, not so much our country as they do for him, the egotistical little boy pretending to be somebody because he's never really ever been somebody, just a fixture in fantasy land, he could just as easily be a billboard and be as important as he is, even as the president. Yep,.. it's the place to dump on his majesty the trumpster, the burning dumpster of Washington, right here confined and somewhat away from the usual goings on in the forum, could have had it in the members section, but what fun would that be? Trump is an outrageous topic that just doesn't want to go away. I hope you don't mind that it's here and not spread out on the forum, it was headed in that direction for a bit. Now it's pretty much an important topic and here is the place to go off on him, or cheer him on if you want, that's OK as well... For right now, trump is shaping everyone's future and in the words of Jim Morrison, the future's uncertain and the end is always near.

I agree it was getting a little out of hand all over the place, so it's nice to have it confined to a single thread. But there needs to be a place for us to talk about what is going on as well as vent about it.
I for one know that when I can dump my thoughts out here it helps me feel a little better.

I have to be careful. The rage from his actions is taking me out.

I'll try to contain myself to here.
This hit me a bit harder than I thought it would. I don't even want to be in the military, and I'm too old anyway, but I hate being told I can't do something. Much less being told I can't do something because I am transgender.
The more I read about this Sheriff Arpaio, the more it makes me sick. He was getting off easy as it was, he really seems to have basically committed crimes against humanity and was only getting a slap on the wrist.
The world is watching. The US cannot even claim to be a free country anymore. It's just a free country for white cishet people to do whatever they want to those that are not.

The long term is to put up a fight. If you can't get on square footing that can't happen. Again, that's just my take on it :hugs: -- Jenn

While some of them might feel empowered by seeing "liberal tears" or whatever, that is not true empowerment. It's just them temporarily feeling better about themselves by knocking others down, or watching others that are down. Stupid middle school bully mentality, they lost any moral authority they might have had by becoming overtly racist. I used to unfortunately sometimes listen to their stupid transphobic arguments about being trans being immoral. Not anymore.
I may have been content staying in the closet had things went differently last November. I cannot be much of an activist that way. If anyone is empowered, it is me. Hopefully, others are as well. I'm not crying, I'm angry, and I'm wanting to fight.

The plot thickens as it turns out that trump did have deasls cooking with russia, when he said he didn't have any dealings with them, zero, zilch, he was trying to build a trump tower in Moscow... Can't even get through a catastrophe hurricane without finding out about another trump lie. It's like the normal, finding out and realizing and just seeing all the lies, the trump lies, his family lies, his administrations lies... Just one day with out trump drama, we haven't had a break since Nov last year (seems like an eternity ago, doesn't it?) Seven months, 30 days each, everyday another thing about trump that makes peoples skin crawl...

I have this picture in my mind of trump pleading with his staff to let him nuke N Korea. You watch, he's going to try to use the hurricane to get his stupid wall that won't do a thing. Would it stop anyone? maybe for a little while, but not long, someone will come by and let them know how to get around it. It certainly isn't going to stop drugs from coming over the border, it might slow it there, but then it would just increase in another place. Drugs are demand product, the laws of supply and demand work here, if people are willing to pay, they will supply them one way or another, no fricken stupid wall is going to stop that, not even slow it down for a day. Nobody wants to come here much anymore, trump is such a jerk and asshole that they don't want to, they have dictators already, why go to all that trouble to just have another one, it's the logic, so trump is his own wall, let him be a border patrol agent, just don't let him have a gun, or vehicle, or a patrol to go on, let him just stare out the window... His numbers continue to decline, just like I said, nobody is standing in line to become a trump supporter, and his supporters are starting to leave him. Oh, and caught a vid of him in a pretty heavy rain getting out of the Marine helicopter he thinks is his, and he had an umbrella, good choice, but he leaves the wife standing there without one and she was, I'm sure getting really wet, and she stepped down off and somebody finally gave her one and trump turns and looks surprised that she had one. The vid showed them with umbrellas going up the steps to get into Air Force one, the plane he thinks is his, and she went in OK, folded the umbrella like you should, and then trump looked confused about how to do it, he went in OK, the umbrella open and still outside, it wiggled around for a while and then looked like he just dropped it, and someone picked it up for him. I know everyone is entitled to have their moments, but trump has to many and for all his BS about himself, well he just doesn't get to have those.

Mueller is bringing in the IRS now? Trump has nowhere to hide then. His kids have nowhere to hide anymore. People are still leaving and he's stuck with ol' sheriff Joe for life now. He forgot to mention the people in the hurricanes path when he was in TX, too busy making the Gov kiss his ass to get the resources and money he needs. TX, wanted to secede from the country not all that long ago, turned down the aid package for Sandy, and now the next hurricane just might head that way in about a week. And trump managed to make it about him again, even commented on the size of the crowd? that came out to see him (he did this while standing on the bumper of a fire truck, anyone see the pics of him pretending to be driving one not all that long ago, like some maniac kid let loose with one) I noticed that there wasn't any dreamers in line to be his supporter, but then the line was empty anyways...

The sharing with the NY Attorney General is interesting combined with the IRS...Is it even possible to cheat on your Federal taxes and not also cheat on your state taxes? Never lived in NY, but other states I've lived in base their taxes off of the Federal taxes. Is NY the same? It would be funny if what brought him down was NY state tax evasion...also I don't get how some people say that NY can't charge him. Where is that written? If he broke NY law, what law prevents him from serving the rest of his term in NY state prison?

John McCain said today that congress people are not subordinate to trump. Weird to see a republican getting a backbone, maybe more of them need chemotherapy... And it's true, they work for the people, just as trump is supposed to when he isn't so fricken busy blaming everyone but himself for the things that he does, and the things he see's as wrong when there really are to many people to blame, so it's spread so thin it isn't really blame, but trump does his best to shove that down peoples throats. Congress has the power to dump the trump, he is powerless to get rid of any congress people, it's set up that way so he doesn't become a dictator. Which he is oh so trying to do. Only he can get these things done... he's had plenty of time and that he can't, he blames everyone around him. So McCain is right, if congress doesn't like his crap, they can throw it right back at him, but for republicans, the vote is everything, that and making the rich even richer, and destroying the lives of all the people who did vote for them, but don't earn enough to pay taxes, which they want to lower on the filthy rich, but it's hard when the bottom can't support the country and the filthy fricken rich at the same time, so yeah, republican tax reform. And for once even Ryan broke with the trump agenda and said to leave the DACA alone, don't screw the dreamers, you know why? They pay a lot of taxes, just like everyone who isn't rich enough to have a year round accounting firm working on getting their taxes reduced to nothing, Like Mnunchkins wife, for all her entitlement, bet she pays less in taxers than the average American does, if she even pays any at all. Trump is going to have to either release his tax returns that show he pays nothing, or Mueller will let it leak out just what he has been hiding. Should be interesting next week, this next month, we can't afford TX, the wall, the entitlement of the filthy fricken rich, and kicking down the dreamers and the middle class along with the poor in this country is just going to put a big FU from the dems on everything they try to do, and trumps numbers are still headed down, nobody in line to become one of his supporters, there is no line, just the unemployment line that has now started to grow under trump, the jobs president, lol.
