Read this, and weep. Kiss everything we've worked for goodbye.

I seriously predict a 20% rise in the suicide rate from November 2016-November 2017; I know a lot of dedicated lawyers and some politicians are going to fight this like crazy, but in the meantime, a whole lot of vulnerable people are going to fall into deep despair.
Fuck Bannon, that fascist cunt. Fuck Trump.

Everyone was waiting for the other shoe to drop after Trump tried to position himself as the best friend LGBT people ever had by not undoing Obama's EO prohibiting discrimination in the federal gov't and by federal contractors. But this would pretty much undo it all anyway by permitting "religious" (read gay hating bigot) exemptions.

From the article:
The breadth of the draft order, which legal experts described as “sweeping” and “staggering,” may exceed the authority of the executive branch if enacted.

Gee, ya think?

The new SCOTUS justice nominee Gorsuch is primed to support the right of corporations to discriminate, see his
Hobby Lobby decision.
I'm not sure that my health can tolerate this administration. I'm trying so hard to be well, but every day brings new horrific ugliness that makes my anxiety go off the charts. I don't know how to not care about this stuff!

If you have LGBT friends, tell them to get out now. By the time the camps open and the tattooing begins, it will be too late.
And no, I don't believe this is hyperbole anymore.

I expect lawyers for NAMBLA are working hard to change this: (from Wikipedia)
NAMBLA's website states that it is a political, civil rights, and educational organization whose goal is to end "the extreme oppression of men and boys in mutually consensual relationships."
and get them legally defined as a religion. Likewise restoration of fundamentalist Old Testament rites of slavery and sacrifice.
What a wonderful country try we live in, now that it is great again.
And don't forget to pray for all the things our president has announced as his greatest concerns, like Arnold's tv career.

no scooter. we don t burn people here.
you have to go to the middle east for that.
if you feel the need for persecution so badly you have a number of muslim countries to choose from.
they would happily oblige your needs.
your outrage is misplaced.
but you know that......

The truly hilarious thing is that you imagine yourself exempt, which is why you so blithely write off the lives of those at risk.
When they are done with us (or maybe before), what do you think they will have in store for you - a drug addict (active or recovering, they won't give a crap)?
They will incinerate you like yesterday's trash.

The truly pathetic thing, wesw, is that as someone who is dependent on Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid/SCHIP, you'll be getting screwed the hardest by the budget cuts Trump and the GOP Congress will enact so they can give even more tax breaks to the wealthy. And all the while you'll still be licking Trump's boots, saying "Please, sir, can I have another?"
