Does this make him officially the first woman president? So progressive.
If it's retroactive, then we haven't had a single male president.
The president Donald Trump is the president with more women in their cabinet ever.
Dude is literally drowning in pussy
So far, only one cabinet member has been confirmed by the Senate, Marco Rubio for Secretary of State...
So I guess you're still not wrong. ;)
I wish, that'd be a hell of a headline.
"Muffled at Last, Serial Snapper Grabber Snatched to Death"
I feel like an invulnerable Goddess, in my sleep Trump tried to turn me into a man. I went Ultra Instinct and slapped that shit without waking up, and when I finally do get up I find that the whole country is one giant lesbian slumber party.
This shit aint nothing to me ma'am, Madame President could suck my gock if I wasn't post-op.
I KNEW IT!
I'M A LESBIAN!!!!!
I've known my whole life and it's a relief to FINALLY to be able to come out officially.
THANK YOU PRESIDENT RUMP!
Haha this is so awesome, she should tell that one to a trans person being denied healthcare.
VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO, because they're all hilarious, woahfully ineffective at combatting conservatives and the far right, but hilarious.
I think the bigger issue is hiding in plain sight:
a person belonging, at conception
Personhood does not begin at conception.
And if it legally does, since I'm a chimera, can I use the carpool lane?
You should apply for a second birth certificate, on the grounds that both of the "people" who were conceived were actually born. You should seek a second SSN, claim them as a dependent on your taxes.
That would be an interesting approach to how to deal with me being trans. "Actually you only issued my brother his birth certificate, I'm the sister, here's the proof I was born"
We all know that's why the mistake was made. It's not exactly rocket surgery.
It’s a P2025 script. Oklahoma made it into law into September, with the same ridiculous misunderstanding of basic biology. It doesn’t matter, they know who they are supposed to oppress.
The Vatican has entered the chat
At least McBride can now use the women's restrooms in the Capitol. And so must all the other politicians!
Anyone who thinks this shit is funny is in for a rude awakening.
They do not fucking care. They will use this the exact same way that they would have used it if it was worded correctly.
You don't get out on technicalities in fascism; if the autocrat in charge wants to do the thing, he will do it. All of these things will be used as cudgels against perceived political enemies, and marginalized US citizens.
They do not fucking care. They will use this the exact same way that they would have used it if it was worded correctly.
The reason why this is good news is that the more bizarrely worded the order, the easier it is to get it throw out in court, America even now runs on the WORD of the law, not the intent.

Yeah except not really. Have you paid attention to recent SCOTUS decisions? They aren't even bothering to make cogent arguments in some cases, and hearing others that never should have standing in the first place.
I want people to try to be less pesimistic, the point is that technicalities like this will waste time. Every one of these exectuive orders is going to be challanged in court, and while the GOP controls the higher courts, these cases will start in the lower ones. With any luck, the lower courts will stay the order until things can get resolved. Every appeal, every challange takes time to process and judges are under no obligation to resolve things quickly.
The goal currently isnt to try and overturn the order, thats just pissing into the wind. The goal is to waste their time for 2 years and hope the house flips, if it does, we can send 47 back to his golf course for the rest of his term because he wont be able to accomplish anything.

I mean I was kinda hoping agent 47 would be incredibly busy this term. I can imagine a level set inside the inauguration with the dinner and all that.

And then we'll have Couch Fucker McGoo as president.
(not intending to kink shame)
I'm into weird TF porn, so now I'm thinking about being turned into a woman/couch hybrid, it's kinda hot ngl.
Nobody likes Vance. He'd be a completely ineffectual president. Which is preferable in my opinion.
25th Amendment
I'm, not sure about that. vance is probably a lot more likely to be worn as a sock puppet. drumpf will at least give them a hard time everytime he doesn't want to do something.
Yeah, I'd rather have a puppet Vance than a party completely kowtowed by a rapist felon.
Man, I'm tired of people calling realism "pessimism." It's kind of a huge problem actually when you think about it.
The Senate flipping is also a very real possibility in 2026. There are 22 Republican seats up for grabs and only 13 Democratic ones.
Theres two possible interpretations due to the at conception bit I think. Either he made everyone a woman, or he abolished gender all together. Either way this EO make Trump the single largest gender changer in history as he just changed the gender of either ~150 million or ~300 million people.
I'm not sure what is more disconcerting. That the people in charge truly are a bunch of fucking idiots.
Or that those idiots have outplayed and outsmarted the Democrats at damn near every turn for 20+ years.
Trump: "You must identify with the gender you were at the time of conception."
Science: "Everyone starts out as women and don't become men until 6 weeks after conception."
Trump: "That is exactly what I meant. Everyone who knows science must identify as a girly girl."
Trump decided he wanted to be the first female president obviously. Don't you liberals understand 5d chess!?
"Trump beat Hilary to being the first woman president" is honestly hilarious to me. Sad, but also hilarious.
He literally just wants to be the first female president
Donvict and his supporters (yeah, I know, don't blame the precious voters!) don't really understand science.
Someone should sue JD Vance for addressing Trump as Mr. President. Illegally addressing him as a man. Clearly sewing doubt in the direct orders of the president, it's detrimental to the entire country.
