What a weird thing to say. Weirdo.
Walz wants to protect trans kids. Has dump even spoken to a kid, apart from the ones in dressing rooms he's trying to fuck? I bet he's barely spoken to barron
I watched some of this press conference. I didn’t see Trump as completely out of it. But he did seem tired. He said the same exact shit but with no energy or conviction.
Trump is committing the cardinal sin of television coverage. He’s boring.

Seems like the GOP is heavy into others' genitalia.
Especially childrens' genitals. They're obsessed with those.
GOP : Genitals Over People
or possibly
GOP: Genitals Of (the) Prepubescent
genital-obsessed pedos
You win the internet for today.
Which you gotta admit.....it's a bit weird. What a bunch of weirdos.

Sure, don. I can see it. It’s like they’re on some sort of trans mission. It’s automatic for them. But as soon as they’re in a clutch, their priorities will shift. they’ll change gears and reverse their position.
It seems like trump has leaky fluid and that really grinds his gears.
He's out of 10mm sockets. We've all been there.

Reminder that this guy wants to fuck his own daughter.
I knew people who didn't think that whole thing was fucked up. I asked them if they're just turned on by incest and they started yelling at me but didn't say no. I don't talk to them anymore lol

“Whether it’s 15 or 20, it’s numbers that nobody’s ever heard before"
I guess Donald just discovered two new numbers? Bringing his total known numbers to just below Kindergarten level.
He knows the biggest numbers.
The war against trans people is not a winning strategy.
Yeah don’t campaign for or against us. Neither works. Try campaigning for or against oil, more Americans have experienced a heat wave than one of us
maybe campaigning for trans people won't be a huge draw, because unlike transphobes most people don't even have trans on the mind... but i think walz's "mind your own damn business" does work. it's such a great line that works for trans rights as well as reproductive rights.
Oh absolutely, I think that’s really the sweet spot. When you say it’s about trans people a lot of people don’t care, but when you say it’s about your right to deal with your own healthcare without government interference people really like that
Seriously, I have only met like five trans people in my entire life. None of them have been a burden on me in any way. People should vote on issues that actually affect their own lives.
Yeah, like honestly the winning move is to mention us on the side at queer events. We’re common enough that losing or gaining us can be significant especially in a primary, but what we’re asking for isn’t huge and if isn’t something so important to the average voter.
My state didn’t have a winter last year and more and more rust keeps accumulating on our belt, maybe focus on talking about how you’re gonna bring Ohioans Union jobs and snow.
They have no platform and can no longer win without someone to demonize. I'm sorry that's you.

I want to see this thing taken to its logical extreme. Like that war was once on the entire queer community, now they're largely targeting trans people because the acceptance of gay men and lesbians is so widespread, pretty soon we're going to have sitting members of congress calling for the death penalty of People Who's Favorite Color Is Puce. We have to save the children from the evil Pucer agenda.

They're really banking on America really caring about if someone is gay or trans huh. Bold move. The only people who give a shit are the weirdo wannabe christians and fox "news" watchers. I'm more into having a good human in office rather than an old orange racist rapist with 34 felonies and dementia. The republikkklowns have nothing they can do besides attack their opponent and with Harris and Walz, that's a losing strategy. VOTE!!!! Volunteer to give rides to those that couldn't vote without it.

Why doesn't the press call him out on his drill and energy lies to his face? We are the world's biggest oil producer. Period. He isn't going to maximize anything.
Because those who would are not invited.
That's it. I wonder all the time how Trump doesn't get ~~shows~~ shoes thrown at him anywhere he goes. It's because he stays in safe spaces.

Even if it was true (it's not, the right wing seems heavily obsessed with lgbtiq people) why the f**k should we care? Lol
I have some trans and many gay friends. It doesn't even get mentioned. They're just people lol. I believe people living on the street or are terminally ill probably have bigger priorities than peoples sexual orientation and preferences
I'm fairly sure kids getting shot at school regularly might be a bit of a bigger issue to most
It's pretty telling that regressives think accusing someone of being humane to be some kind of mic drop moment...

I want to ask one of the dumbest redhats near me to try to explain, in full, just what the hell low-t means by this.
I was pretty confused by redhats at first. I was like "Hey man, I thought people liked Linux around here"

Republicans are heavy into the couch fucking thing
I'm also heavy into the transgender world. So is Trump actually. It's this world. I usually just call it "the world" though.
"... at unhinged press conference"
Yea, I know how this works, don't condescend to me.
"Mind your own business, creep"
The same Trump that groped and motorboated Rudy Giuliani dressed in drag?
What a weird thing for him to say.
