Appalachia wrote:Department of Justice files brief stating that civil rights laws do not extend to LGBTQ people

People have accessed me of exaggerating when I call the current president a fascist leader. But this latest move by his administration supports my claim. Fascism isn't revolutionary, it is a slow, creeping disease that infects a society.

This is how it starts. First they create distractions. Then they legalize violence while no one is looking, then they send their legions of supporters to attack their chosen target. And then once "chaos" has been manufactured they use it as an excuse to eliminate the system altogether and create their own.

Too extreme to happen in America? We'd be far from the first wealthy and powerful nation to fall into the fascist trap. And the signs that we are heading down that path become more clear every day. Let's just hope that Congress acts while they're still empowered to do so.


It's just a brief, at least, that's not binding as far as I know. A court would have to rule it doesn't apply to LGBTQ people for it to be official. Or am I mistaken?

You couldn't even get an "ist" or even just a "y" on the end there? That's just embarrassing.

No, but he wont do it. Even if they're trans, they could still beat the piss out of the Draft Dodger-In-Chief. Especially that trans Navy SEAL :lol2:

You're going way too deep for a one off comment that Lincoln may not have been the originator of that statement.
Venicilian: wow. Jesus hung around with everyone. boys, girls, rich, poor(mostly), sick, healthy, etc. in fact, i bet he even went up to gay people and tried to heal them so they would be straight.
The Parkus Empire: Being serious on NSG is like wearing a suit to a nude beach.
New Kereptica: Since power is changed energy over time, an increase in power would mean, in this case, an increase in energy. As energy is equivalent to mass and the density of the government is static, the volume of the government must increase.

I wouldn't even take that meeting. Secret Service got nothing on SEALs; would kill the entire room with a ballpoint.

Actually, IIRC, the appendix used to help process plants and toxins, but now acts as a home for the bacteria living in your intestines, one of which used to be very useful, and the other is now also useful.

I recently read that there is a school of thought that believes the appendix stores beneficial gut bacteria to release into the intestines, to help jump start the repopulation of said helpful gut bacteria if there is a large-scale die off; such as if you get food poisoning, or need to take a powerful antibiotic to fight an infection.
