We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again
can't believe us trans people are so powerful that a whole massive group of people are destroying everything to get us, sounds like they're just jealous lool
They know they'll never be as hot as us. It's a shame their little tantrum is so painful to everybody else. (Either that, or they should just transition already...)
Truly a triumph of propaganda.
oh well when you put it like that
Well, there goes 70 years of economy building down the drain.
HEY! President Trump granted every man in America legal access to every ladies' restroom ON DAY ONE! Three months ago! By declaring everybody WOMEN. www.rawstory.com/trump-transg...
Yes, and to give the oligarchs a tax cut.
Priorities!
First rule of leadership: Find the tiniest most vulnerable minority and CRUSH THEM.
HOT POLIO SUMMER
I thought it was because Obama made fun of him like 10 years ago?
I do think that’s where it originated for Trnmp.
I don't think it helped But Obama only brought him up because of how fucking mad he was at having a black president
Also let's not forget the rampant problem of people eating each others' pets. I'll bet no one's eaten a cat or dog in Ohio all year.
Vance too stupid to shut his big fat MAGA mouth.
Priorities of a madman.
Propaganda (aka lies, said over and over creating fear) works. We either learn that lesson or every generation will have to live thru it again. It's only been 80yrs and the lessons of Hitler have worn off.
Trumpers are not known for their deep thinking.
oh see when you put it like that.....its still completely insane
Conservative priorities, of course.
And to help Russia. MARA.
Victory is ours!
Also the midshipman at the us naval academy can’t read about historical contributions from black , Hispanic, or gay people. Which is so incredibly stupid
It wouldn't surprise me if some country bought a couple hundred million of Trumpcoin to make tariffs go away.
If not a country, certainly some corporations will. The tariffs are a perfect setup for grift.
They get rid of all the people with dark skin and college diplomas
I have a hard time believing this could actually be believable. 😆
That tracks.
Surely you concede it was worth it!! I mean!!
And eggs. You're forgetting about the eggs.
The conservatives are all using each other. It's perverse.
they always warned that us trans girls would destroy the country, but this isnt how i saw it going down
Send your thank-you notes to Trump's most enthusiastic voters: 80% of white Evangelical voters 60% of Catholics and mainline Protestants 57% of men under 30
bsky.app/profile/moch...
F* riley gaines!!!
Come on. That’s an exagger… no, I guess you’re right.
It's a question of proportion and in all fairness well ok, there isn't any. Trump is an asshole of truly GIGANTIC SIZE, who EVIDENTLY has been into Stinky Jrs - err MUSH's ketamine or maybe the syphilis finally snapped his last brain cell. We are like Germany in '33,, he had to add the DEPRESSION
Close call
May as well call this Orange Wednesday unless he backtracks tomorrow but the damage is done
The most pyrrhic of victories
Yep.
“If the democrats didn’t make a mess of everything this would have never happened” - moronic battle cry of the Fox News sheep with their heads firmly planted up their own ass.
Our economy was the envy of the world. Until Cheeto took over. Perfect? Of course not. But, better than what this turd is doing to it.
Honestly I thought you were gonna attribute this quote to the ultra progressive white kids who suffer no repercussions of any of this
Because it is so much easier to destroy and criticize. MAGA is nothing but lazy and uncreative
But we no longer have title ix enforcement anyway so women’s sports will be an afterthought after the money is spent on football
The player in question was second on the team in kills. Second. That means there was someone on the team who wasn't trans who hit harder than she did. And the only reason they finished second was because of all the forfeits.
This! 👆🏾
True MAGA shit.
Yeah, but they also stopped doctors and nurses from letting healthy babies die when their liberal slut mothers don't want them, migrants from cooking people's pets for dinner and schools from forcibly "trans-ing" kids without their parents knowing.
so that one didn't land, chief
All because eggs were too damn expensive
We decided to be ruled by a personality cult, thanks to pack of rube “swing” voters & apathetic non-voters
Succinctly and depressingly said Mr. Sherman.
Not the reason
JV Mountain West.
Don’t disrespect the Mountain West. SDSU Rulez
Worlds strongest economy??? 33 trillion in debt.
my man wants to go back to mercantilism
That’s US dollars in circulation around the globe. Don’t be such a rube.
It's US total debt u rube.
I know that. I’m saying the debt doesn’t matter as much as the dollars existing and circulating. Nobody actually cares about the debt that pretends to. Ds pay down the debt. Rs rack it up for tax cuts. People don’t bother to know that or they wouldn’t think Rs are better at it.
Owning the libs comes to its ultimate concussion.
*conclusion
No you were right
LOL!! That’s what I thought!
And no DEI.
Thanks, Putin
and the eggs - don't forget the eggs
It was never about the eggs. Fascists ran on a platform of brutalizing minorities.
I think that was implied in my comment
😂
It seems so, yes. What a twisted nightmare
The USSR collapsed because it wasn't feasible economically. #Felonald is jeopardizing national security by tanking the economy to rob the poor.
The majority of white voters didn't realize that their white supremacy, bigotry, and misogyny came with a heaping side of economic collapse.
I think a lot of them knew but figured he’d only hurt people they hate. They’ll still continue to support him regardless of how much pain he causes them as long as the pain to brown and TG people is worse. This is who we’re up against
The end of American hegemony and prosperity is a small price to pay to put the *long string of slurs* in their place
Gonna be interesting when they try to pay the mortgage, car note & other bills w/said white supremacy, bigotry, and misogyny. I don't think it's going to work.
Nyet. It was for the great rebirth of the USSR.
This. It was this.
That’s it. We live in the stupidest times.
Saving this for later
And because we had a Black President
HE WORE A TAN SUIT AND REACHED HIS HAND OVER THE SNEEZE GUARD! Something had to be done to respond to those atrocities!
Hell of a country y’all got here
This too was a factor. There were many. All leading back to the same boiling point.
Hey hey we also got a get out of jail card for an old racist man who wants to marry his daughter
[Mission accomplished banner]
I don't even think it was determined that she was trans. Some jackass just "thought" she was.
The same jackass that thinks they can score a point off Serena Williams.
One in eight men, according to a survey from 2019 💀
That and they want a recession so they can can buy everything they don’t already own.
What was the childhood moment that irrevocably broke this 🤡 beyond repair?
Hey hey hey…we’re also keeping them from getting 5th place at a conference swim meet
I’m embarrassed that my Alma mater led the charge and was rewarded in the statehouse for their “courage”. Barf-worthy
To ensure tax cuts for corporations and billionaires.
The US needs to catch up with the rest of the world. Here in the UK (AKA Terf Island) the wheels are falling of the trans train and, sport by sport, be it lawn tennis or athletics or rugby football trans 'women' are being required by the sport's individual bodies to play with the men.
🎯
World's strongest whatnow?
Imagine Putin become our president and it all makes perfect sense.
listen buddy i hate trump as much as the next guy but what's putin got to do with it. it's like that old joke: 'an american thing happens americanly in america.' 'WHAT ARE WE A BUNCH OF ASIANS?'
What’s Putin got to do with it? Have you been living under a rock? Why do you think Russia was the one country that didn’t get a tariff?
idk man does russia even have any exports?
Dude, he gave tariffs to an island only inhabited by penguins!!!
bsky.app/profile/news...
We're tariffing an island with a population of 0 so if you think it has any bearing on "what someone exports" then you would be completely wrong. They clearly carved out which countries we specifically DON'T want to tariff.
Do you really think a country that has never had more than a tenth of our GDP has really infiltrated our democracy? This has nothing to do with russia, that's just hysteria. This is just the logical endpoint of the last hundred years of american politics. It's just reagan and HW turned up to 100
You’re very uninformed and naive if you think Trump owes nothing to Putin.
More likely to ensure Putin’s orders were followed. Seems like so many are wandering in the weeds and failing to grasp how many decades this takedown has been in the works and how sinister the plot really is.

YES.
Pardon the language but this is a fucking massive post!! *tip of the chapeau
Also, too, lose WWWIII.
Finally, a clear and concise explanation!
They're making the country poorer, dumber, sicker & nastier.
It was either that or vote for a Black southeast asian woman. The life we could have had.
Unfit yet ???
The worst part about that? Most of the teams in the Mountain West that actually bothered to show up and play against SJSU proceeded to beat them
We've had 50 years of experience with trans athletes competing, since Renee Richards went through her transition. None have "dominated" their sports.
the whole 'IT'S UNFAIR FOR TRANS ATHLETES TO COMPETE IN WOMEN'S SPORTS!' thing is just so fucking idiotic. the entire thing is based on the assumption that 'well of course any man could beat any woman in a sport'. it starts from a position of misogyny and continues to transphobia.
The holy algorithm serves me up several very good cis male gymnasts making hilarious videos of themselves trying women's gymnastics. They will not be winning medals anytime soon.
My students seemed to think men would transition just so they could get starting spots and dominate sports. And what would their friends and teammates and coaches do? How would the rest of college go? It was baffling to me they'd given it no thought.
Making a permanent life changing decision to make that filthy women’s volleyball NIL lucre Ask them if they realize how dumb that sounds when you say it out loud
Oh I did. "Would that person have friends? Would they make a living? Would coaches put them in?" "... ... oh."
Ladies can hold their own against men quite well. Ask Bobby Riggs.
Our school played them 3 times and I think won them all.
No, I don’t think it was “most.” SJSU ended up with a 14-7 record. But, yes, to your point, if they hadn’t forfeited for political reasons, they probably could have beat them.
Was speaking of their conference record, not overall, as none of their non-conference opponents forfeited Also, upon further review, you are indeed correct and it was not most teams. SJSU went 6-6 in conference against teams that bothered to play them So one shy of most
Nah, the American public will just keep voting for the challenger until someone lowers the cost of living. In the meantime, a lot of people will make a good living telling you it’s more complicated
They'll keep voting for a challenger for a while after someone lowers the cost of living too because people also hate recessions.
Sorry, might not be following you. You saying it’s not possible to lower the cost of living without causing a recession?
You can lower the real cost of living without a recession ( eg by raising wages ) but Biden did that and it didn't help, you can't lower the absolute cost of living without reducing prices and that's going to cause a recession because you can't lower prices without lowering GDP.
I saw someone make the pt the other day the cost of necessities was low in the 80s and around then & luxuries high (I think you see this in Price is Right reruns) which is one of (the many) reasons why Boomers don’t get it right now. We need housing, education, healthcare to be affordable. 1/2
I think that can be done without a recession. And isn’t the recession Trump’s handling of Covid & tax cuts anyway? Feel free to educate me but things usually hit a few years later so the average American is blaming the current guy and not the last guy (and I do mean guy) and don’t get it.
I get what you’re saying and think there’s a grain of truth there but I also think maybe, just maybe, you could be one of those people I referred to who make a good living telling us it’s more complicated.
Mission Accomplished! (It works just the same as Bush's, how cute)
It was the only fair thing to do, apparently.
"America. We must destroy it to save it."
Well yeah, now
Overheard
Yes, also the Nazi tyrants are just plain mean. Ugly and mean.
Is there a better reason? /s
They did it to protect women, don't you know? Meanwhile, they are destroying reproductive rights, letting the Violence Against Women Act expire, removing DEI & suppressing women's voting rights. Now, we ladies can feel safe.
You're going to unleash the full force of Mountain West Conference fever swamp.
IMPEACH IMPEACH IMPEACH
It's like watching your country burn down...
We had to destroy the village in order to save it.
Pretty much
One almost wants history not to remember us, if this is how we'd be remembered. Ozymandias weeps.
Pretty much.
👊🏼🇺🇸🔥
Which in itself only happened because so many of the upper half teams forfeited games to them. Utter insanity.
Were also forced to forfeit by pressure from their state governments.
While alienating every ally
this is so funny to me gotta give props to this joke construction
👏👏👏
There are less than 10 trans NCAA athletes out of 151k. No one wanted to go make that point. This is the hill Newsome wanted to go fight on.
Jesus... It's sad how accurate this is.
If only the dudes in charge would've stuck to Grindr for a good time instead of this
Yes, but the price of eggs came down - Oh Wait!
TFW you sacrifice your goodwill and influence over all of your allies because you want to seize one of their barren rocks
I did like the movie, a lot. But it was intensely uncomfortable because I know that's exactly how things would play out. We have the capacity to save the earth from disasters like that -- and justify why we're here, because we have no other purpose -- but somehow we'll fuck it up
I can't believe people hated this movie
Libs hate Sirota so it wouldn't matter if it was good or not.
You HAVE to be a bot a with a comment that dissociated from reality.
You've never seen liberals hate on Sirota? It's a running theme.
You haven't had a single second of self-reflection in your life, have you?
Why are you coming at me? Do you think liberals like Sirota or something? Bro what did I ever do you you?
The entire movie is a love letter to liberals. To the centuries of effort put into building up science, math, physics, astronomy, astrophysics, predictive statistics. And then it showcases how fucking dumb Trumper types are who don't listen - at - all - to people who know what they're talking about.
You replied to me like you're on Twitter. Look at how liberals treat Sirota and this film and also either chill or change your bio.
oh damn dude, i see the problem. you don't understand what the word 'liberal' means, i'm so sorry you had to find out like this.
it kinda satirizes the ineffectiveness of liberal politics as much as the conservatives.
I mean, we currently live in an entire very real hellscape of liberals being catastrophically ineffectual so I don't think satire is necessary.
That’s the movie, not the writer.
I thought it was brilliant, but I was depressed for weeks after watching it.
I really wanted to like it? But I found it overbroad and often clumsy, with an off-putting "very special episode" vibe. If you pander to people too shamelessly, I think they start to feel like they're being mocked.
Yeah, Mackay was definitely mocking. Kinda the point.
He was mocking us, the targeted audience, as well though. "Here's a half-baked production, but you'll eat it anyway because you're on my side"
I keep telling people, "look, USA was not in any financial trouble whatosever, matter of fact it was better off than ever before. We got bird flu killing the egg laying chicken and for that, we had to elect the worst person ever, who destroyed everthing, because the egg prices were high".
The money wasted making that smug bullshit could've been spent on making a movie about actual climate change, those responsible for it, and so on. Completely waste of "film".
Spot on.

But hey they couldn't stand to have a BLACK LADY in charge, could they now
We're at the point where cultural animosity is about to meet economic reality and it won't be pretty.
Such a great take. 👌
perfect
Isn’t it to help Russia? They destroy our R&D, healthcare and economy in retaliation for sanctions. Hard to see how Trump isn’t a Russian asset
This is the entirety of the story.
Just like Putin wants it.
#priorities
how many people do we have to deport to El Salvador to make it right again?
You forgot to mention the eggs.
Don't worry, we lowered the prices of eggs by $-4. This may sound bad, but also our dollars are also worth less. Also the stock market is now about as reliable as hawk tuah coin, the most steel-clad of securities.

But, but eggs and bathrooms!!!!
yup white men are SO strong like a wilted flower 🤦🏽♀️ 😳 🤔 yeah that shoe fits 😎
Think about how competitive it would be if all the trans boys started competing against girls instead.
They did that to a highschooler in Texas Than got mad and claimed he was a trans girl
Oh yes. There is always a rationalization to make the madness
Where her team captain was a plaintiff
Now I feel silly. I thought Trump did it for Putin.
Exactly this
Mission Accomplished!
The Republicans have repeatedly screwed over the economy and left it to the Dems to rebuild. Which they always have. This time the goal is to so completely wreck the American economy that even the Democrats can’t fix it.
The Mountain West Volleyball Championship is the most important thing in this country It secures a guaranteed berth into the NCAA tournament
Trump is the worst President in modern history. He has no understanding of macroeconomics. 👇
…and so not to have to effectively tax the rich.
Is Dan Orlovsky on BlueSky? Would like to hear his take.... for once.
We're despised around the world but at least now Caitlyn Jenner has to use the men's room to take a dump.
History can use all this as an example of 'cutting off your nose to spite your face' for generations.
Don't forget the horrifying explosion of gender transition surgeries in public elementary schools!

oh worm, that's the Mall Of America
The attack was against many "different" within for the greater external win that will not help most of us.
10/10 summary
waiiit thats a good point... now im happy and okay with this
Tbf we can also say the r word again
Recession? Sorry we're gonna have to replace that with the D word as global trade grinds to a halt and the global economy collapses. Factories will shut down, either due to a lack of buyers or a lack of critical inputs. This is worse than Smoot Hawley. And I don't think people get how bad it is.
