This one is funny.

"Arab Americans for Trump helped lead voter outreach efforts for Trump ahead of the 2024 presidential election in swing states such as Michigan and Arizona."
I find that even funnier. They just changed the name of their group.

Watch as more terrorist attacks happen on U.S. soil. The right will blame dwarves.

That will be just the thing he wants to declare a state of emergency. Presidential powers under a SOE is immense and dangerous. Yes, he could do so anytime but a major terrorist attack will make the SOE welcomed by his followers.

Emergency Powers

Presidents have access to a dizzying range of powers during a declared emergency. We’re working to enhance Congress’s role as a check against abuse of authority.

www.brennancenter.org

Emergency powers have existed in countries around the world for centuries. Their purpose is simple: to temporarily enhance executive power during unexpected crises that are moving too fast for Congress to respond. The Brennan Center’s original research cataloged 123 statutory authorities that become available to the president when he declares a national emergency. Many are measured and sensible, but others seem like the stuff of authoritarian regimes: giving the president the power to take over domestic communications, seize Americans’ bank accounts, and deploy U.S. troops to any foreign country. Given how broad these powers are, it is critical to have adequate safeguards in place to prevent abuse.

The National Emergencies Act, in its current form, lacks those protections. It allows the president to declare emergencies with nothing more than a signature on an executive order, and presidents can renew those emergencies every year ad infinitum. Congress can vote to end an emergency, but it effectively needs a veto-proof majority to do so.

The problems with this system became very clear when President Trump declared a fake emergency to get funding for his border wall after Congress had denied him the funds. Even though a majority of both houses of Congress voted to end this emergency, the president was able to override the veto and continue his blatant misuse of emergency powers.

Quick, distract everyone from the plans Trump exposed by making fun of trans people!

It's not making fun of trans people as such, but of the trans (and broader LGBTQABCXYZ) activist types supporting Gaza, where they would risk death, and opposing Israel, where would have rights.

 

[Derec]

It represents the diversity of thought of the human race which includes trans people. Those people, like everyone, can be pro-Palestine, pro-Israel, Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, it doesn't matter,

True of individuals, of course also including trans individuals.
Trans activists on the other hand are rabidly on the left, and irrational hatred of Israel is one of the hallmarks of the doctrinaire Left.

and it isn't relevant to the thread, except as an anecdotal distraction. Something someone with tremendous power says, like Trump, is far more relevant to what is going on.

I disagree that it is irrelevant, or that only things said by Trump should matter.

You mean like Trump supporters are rabidly on the right, and intense bigotry and Christian hatred are the hallmarks of the doctrinaire Right.

ETA ~There's no way to tell what is really going on in Zoids picture. That same picture taken in September 2023 could have very different meaning than September 2024. And frankly, it's just a dude in a dress holding up a sign. I wouldn't be surprised to find out it's really a Trumpista "owning the libs!".
On the other hand, the Trump supporters I referred to were a group that made public statements, videos, and did fundraising and get out the vote activities in swing states. They're easy to find out about, if you care. ~

I’ve found it ironic that the above person would be immediately decapitated by Hamas.

They are supporting Palestine with the sign, not Hamas. It is complicated. That is the problem with signs sometimes, especially in this subject. There is support for Gazans based on any number of issues that exist for them... and then support for Hamas... and then a somewhat unwitting support of Hamas.

Then there is the other side of the coin, that a person would support people that think they are a grave sinner. Like that time my generally nice but racist Great Uncle was helped out with a flat tire by a Hispanic.

But I'm glad that the reich... I mean right-wingers so quickly have at their finger tips, these images.

But if you support Palestine that makes you a terrorist according to these people.

It's not making fun of trans people as such, but of the trans (and broader LGBTQABCXYZ) activist types supporting Gaza,

As I stated already (i.e. already addressed), trans people can support anything, just like anyone else. Caitlyn Jenner is a conservative. There are Muslim trans people with sex changes living in Muslim countries. Trans people are diverse...but it's obvious that this isn't real and so yes it is making fun of people.

where they would risk death, and opposing Israel, where would have rights.

...unless they came across some ultra-conservative types.

You guys are just continuing with your anecdotal distraction from Trump. Why don't you want to talk about it?

 

[Don2 (Don1 Revised)]

I wouldn't be surprised to find out it's really a Trumpista "owning the libs!".

He's at a protest of 1 person for a photo op...so it's pretty obvious.

It looks like Derec and Zoidberg got owned instead of the libs, though.

Transgender people over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime

williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu

Transgender people are over four times more likely than cisgender people to experience violent victimization, including rape, sexual assault, and aggravated or simple assault, according to a new study by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law. In addition, households with a transgender person had higher rates of property victimization than cisgender households.

The problem with I Support Palestine is that it doesn't actually provide context regarding that support.

It's not really a problem. It's just morons assume you're a terrorist if you do. That's their problem.
