Trans rights are not optional. If we’re trading people for power then burn this place down. Don't be boring if other options are on the table.

Rollins: and you know even though people say health care costs are crippling we find people still go to the emergency room, which is just as surprising. They’ll even declare medical bankruptcy, such is the entrepreneurial spirit of people keeping their organs functional!

This is the dumbest man who has ever led the armed forces of the US excepting only his commander in chief. This is clown shit. Maybe in WWI there were some British generals that had this level of stupid, but it’s a near thing, and they had at least one excuse.

There's also, slightly more bleakly, the UK Cass Report. An audit of medical records showed trans kids waiting years for appointments and having an average of 7 assessments before receiving any care. Anti-trans activists said it was proof kids were being rushed into transition.

The problem with living in a delusion (Trump is the smartest best boy that ever lived and the best president in any universe) is that the degree to which you have to always be concerned about being recorded is directly correlated with how insane the delusion is.

A problem is that many people know that the vast majority of the people who voted for the fascist in chief in 2024 would vote for him again today. So folks know that many people are politically untrustworthy. It adds to the malaise.

And staying silent allows the repubs to steal credit. Biden really did fix things, but he didn't take the credit he should have, and he allowed GOPs to show up to events even when they voted no on the projects. Time for Dems to be ruthless - claim credit and don't allow those who vote no to attend

Anyway, the Iran conflict is probably one of the less destructive ways Trump could detonate his political power. Albeit still hugely destructive. But at least we're getting a forced green energy transition and electrification (much stronger than any politically viable federal incentive).

Venezuela, not so much. An attempted military attack on Greenland or Canada, though? That could totally have happened. So could have an invasion of Cuba, resulting very possibly in the insta-collapse of the entire society and massive flows of refugees whom Miller would be trying to machinegun.

Trump had *lots* of other options for making himself colossally unpopular, and repeatedly TACOed right up to the edge of a disaster he couldn't back out of, each time concluding that he was untouchable because nothing too bad happened. He finally did it properly with Iran, and here we are.

FWIW, I think a fuckup on this scale in time to wreck them electorally was *almost* inevitable from Day 1, precisely because this is the Special Birthday Boy presidency in which there are almost no limits on Trump's madness and every proposed policy disaster has a real shot at going all the way.
