Trump mocks trans folks to prime minister with nonbinary kid
-
President Donald Trump mocked transgender people in front of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, whose child identifies as nonbinary, during an Oval Office meeting in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday that was intended to focus on trade relations but instead became a showcase of Trump’s familiar culture war politics.
The meeting, held in the presence of reporters, aimed to emphasize renewed cooperation between the two countries, which remain deeply economically intertwined. But as The Independent reported, it “devolved into a political rally disguised as a routine press availability.” Trump repeatedly veered off topic to attack Democrats, the media, and transgender people, boasting that under his leadership, “We have strong borders. We have no men in women’s sports. We’re not going to take your child away and change the sex of your child.”
Normally, when somebody becomes more idiot, he gets less attention. That’s how we do it in Europe. Waiting for the Americans to come alongside

You think that would stop him?
Would? This guy is mentioned more times than many can count in the Epstein Files.

I hate that he’s better than the alternative
I hate seeing us becoming more of a two party system
we need voting reform
We need viable candidates.

I’m just surprised that people think Carney, our prime minister, should antagonize Trump, who is currently master and chief of one of the largest, if not the largest military force in the world, over his stance on trans people. And to do it when he’s there for trade talks.
I’m just surprised that people think that Carney sitting there and refusing to engage in Trump’s bullshit, when the purpose of his visit is to negotiate trade on behalf of our entire country.
I’m not sure why anyone thinks Carney’s priority should be arguing with Trump over trans people, when we currently have a trade war going on, that can easily devolve into an actual war…
I’m surprised at the amount of people I’ve seen telling us regular average Joe Americans we need to fight back, exercise our 2A rights, do more than “just protest”, but then when their politicians have a chance to actually take a stand against American fascism but flop over like a wet noodle instead, they go “but but but, Amewica scawy :(”

This is how it should be done. I have no idea why people love propagating this shit so much. The guy has no morals and seeks attention. Both sides are feeding into it.
Treat him like the turd he is - flush him down and forget about him.

wouldn’t it be the icing on the cake if the orange steaming pile of shit was trans? You know what they say about the most homophobic/transphobic people…

Shame on Carney for not standing up for his own child.

I’m aware that the feds have been working on more international trade with our allies in Asia/Europe/anywhere that isn’t the USA…
I was commenting the other day to my SO that most products don’t even need to be “made in Canada” for me to want to buy them, they just need to say “not a product of the USA” and I’ll consider it a viable option to buy.
Anything made in the USA, I try to avoid or find non-US made alternatives.
The hardest thing for me is to get rid of Yankee shit is digital services eg Microsoft (use it for work) & google. My next phone will be a nothing or a fair phone.

We’re not - the NDP will be back. They are in talks to get $ from the liberals so they support the budget, NDP with Avi Lewis or the union guy will rise again.

He does like his makeup, corsets and heel lifts.

I agree that Microsoft and Google are difficult to get rid of.
I haven’t yet decided what I’m going to do in this regard. Good luck friend.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

He would have become an iconic drag queen if he made a couple different choices in the 1980s… so sad.

I’m not sure why he’s wasting time on that orange turd. He should be getting the rebuild of our lost industries going and telling the americans to GTFO and eat dirt at this point. Stengthen ties with EU and Mexico now.
I wish we could do that. The biggest problem with doing so is oil. There is no continuous pipeline from Alberta to eastern Canada that doesn’t move through the States. If the worst happened, the biggest Canadian economies, Ontario and Quebec, would be devastated.

Before that oil was moved through pipelines it was moved by train, I’m sure that could be arranged to bridge some of the demand. Not perfect by any means, but it would help until we could solve the pipeline problem. At this point we need to plan for a “when” scenario.

If only Carney was a good politican who had helped Canada in literally any way since taking office. At least he sorta looks good in comparison to a dementia riddled fascist, I guess. Fascists will see this as Canada bowing to the king.
I’m not remotely a fan, but he has done some good things. Recognizing the state of Palestine might not be a game changer, but it’s a good start. The across the board military pay rise was absolutely needed and has done a lot to improve morale and retention in the CAF. The CRA will have automatic tax filing for low-income Canadians from next year onward. We finalised a trade and defence deal with Indonesia, the fifth (I think) most populous country in the world. Most recently, the government has put in a challenge to the supreme court to try to limit the powers of the notwithstanding clause, which if successful could really help to constrain the ways its being abused by people like Ford and Smith (they’re already bitching about this at the top of their lungs, which is all the proof you need that it’s a good thing). Still gonna vote NDP, but I always like to give credit when it’s due.

Yeah I want our allies to stand up as much as the next trans person but I don’t envy Carney.
Our mission right now is to survive, I won’t be sad if Carney doesn’t want to start WWIII over us.

Nah, children can’t consent, so that’s rape.
Rape is sex. It’s sex without consent.

I’m with you. The whole strategic voting thing… Even I’ve been victim of it and it was no more obvious than in the last election.
A lot of people voted liberal because they wanted to shut out the conservatives, and liberal votes had the best chance of doing that.
The problem is organization and agreement.
If we all agree to drop the strategic voting and just go with who we actually want, for a single election, I’m sure things would massively change. The trick is, getting everyone to agree on anything.
You can vote for the left-of-conservative candidate most likely to win in your district.
And in districts where the conservative candidate has no chance of winning, you can vote with your heart.

There’s alternatives, protonmail, NorthMail, lots of non-google search engines, I need to find an alternative to google drive.
