Whoever could have predicted this. The Democrats will throw anyone under the bus.

As a detail that's missing from the article and kinda sorta lied about in the headline, it seems like this gender-affirming care was introduced in 2016 by the Obama administration as part of other additions of transition-related care.

Democrats say the American public doesn't need the 2nd amendment anymore, but here they are proving to your face that when push comes to shove, no one will be coming to help you when your lawn has a mob of 61 MAGA coming to lynch you for whatever delusional reason they manufacture.

We are on our own.

You're gonna die of old age soon biden, but your garbage legacy will linger forever in the history books like shitting on the pages and slamming the book shut.

A cowardly empty shell of a man to the bitter end.

Enjoy hell you piece of shit.

I dunno man, rhetoric like that. Doesn't sound like you'll be the most easy person to share this earth with either. Better to figure out another way forward them encouraging civil war, no?

Agreed.

Biden's legcy will be bringing a bit of the Israelis geniocidal hatreds home to rot the core of the US. Enshitifying the western world order and democracy itself with the same pathetic "bipartisanship" centrism and selling out that has defined his entire career and been a plague on all of us. An old white bigot with no relevance, intent on sitting in a chair that was always too big for him. At best he was not Trump. And thats about all he will be remembered for.

With allies like these on Lemmy who the fuck needs enemies. So anytime we want to throw trans people under the bus just add it to a funding bill? Would y'all be singing the same tune if these provisions targeted gay people? Black? Jewish? At what point does an anti trans law cross the line for y'all? How many rights do we have to lose before you'll speak up?

[-] Bassman1805@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

Anytime you want to pass a measure that doesn't have quite enough sort in congress, you add it to a funding bill.

It's the easiest way to add leverage to your demands, with the way our legislature currently works.

I mean, they've already signed off on wholesale genocide, it's pretty clear they have no lines left to cross.

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 13 points 20 hours ago

Bro... the genocide. All lines have not only been crossed but erased forever as the Democrats ratchet the USA to the right.

[-] Beetschnapps@lemmy.world -1 points 2 hours ago

Bro... the genocide.

Quote of this century. As we move into Trump 2.0 and the horror thereafter we will have “Bro… the genocide”.

Right up there with that comic of folks in a post apocalyptic hellscape saying “ but at one point we had profit for shareholders…”

Throw the baby out with the bath water. Cause bro…

This guy was everyone's hope?

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

No he wasn't, he was a leaky bucket of water, but the house was on fire, so we took it.

Don't rewrite history to serve your narrative, dipshit.

I despised him before it was cool. So yay me I suppose.
