i think child abuse is actually letting a known paedophile hang around your rich people resort for the purpose of grooming children but that's just me.

They’re desperately trying to distract from the fact they just wiped out a 1/5th of the value of the stock market, and so they’re throwing red meat to the culture war crowd by backing over the people they’ve already run over

If it's about child abuse why are they spending so much effort going after the abused? Trans youth turn into trans adults and they are trying to invalidate their existence. Also, this whole thing is rich coming from one of Epstein's best friends.

As I stated during my Joint Address to the Congress last month, my message to every American child is simple: you are perfect exactly the way God made you,” reads Trump’s statement.

The implication is that God didn't make anyone gay, trans, non-binary, etc., and if any minor claims to be naturally the way they feel they are, MAGA fascists will step in to correct them with God on their side. They will tell themselves they're doing a good thing. That's how the original Nazis lived with working in concentration camps committing mass murder too, and like MAGA fascists they also considered themselves good Christians.

It's interesting that God makes everyone's genitals perfectly, but he keeps messing up hearts, lips, chromosomes, spines... I guess pobody's nerfect. (Except for me, because God made me that way.)

And yet they keep writing exceptions allowing IGM on intersex infants every time they write their laws banning transgender healthcare for minors.

The fact that anyone could hear this man pretend to believe in God and actually believe it... Just... I can't even

Stock market tanks, so dude throws more scapegoats to his bigoted base.

25 years ago my super Christian parents knew about trans people and children who identified as trans. There were news shows about trans kids. They didn't care.

I think a lot about how we got here and about how this was inevitable.

Minorities are tolerated as a curiosity until they start getting ideas about having rights. See also: gay people and free black people in the 18th and 19th centuries.

We got here by allowing these fascists to talk while voting in these goofy ass moderates

Weird that Pedophiles and their orange pedo grandpa get to decide what child abuse is

Anyone wanna bet when they start gassing? (Or maybe they are already gassing on smaller scales)

Incarcerated trans women are already getting horrible conditions

Yeah it's guaranteed to ruin your life or your money back

Only the oligarchs are getting their money back.

The ginger nonce thinking he can determine what child abuse is.
