Just to be clear, he did not at all refuse to swear on a bible (he did so the first time and had someone holding the bibles for the second one), he was just too confused to remember that he was supposed to place his hand on the bible.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Ok.  We have a dude with dementia signing decrees written by ChatGPT governing the most powerful country in the world instead of being simply an amoral dick.  I'm reassured, I can sleep soundly tonight. :P
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

Okay, dude, if you want to make a big deal out of a simple correction of facts, go nuts.

Apparently trans people are being denied passport renewal, even under their original gender. Welcome to fascism and oppression, I guess.

Of course because it is a simplistic answer. At no point will every single person on the left became on message, just the same of those on the right. Yet somehow people felt controlled to vote for Trump because of commentary by some people on the left.

That's really, really bad.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

While all this unnecessary pain and confusion is infuriating, can you provide evidence of your claim?

I didn't see any evidence of anyone being denied a passport and nothing about under their 'original' gender beyond the white house spokesperson saying you can get it for their 'God-given sex'. I see one person E who says their passport is currently in limbo but that seems like flimsy evidence to say they have been 'denied passport renewal, even under their original gender'.
