• Trump Team Asks State Dept. To Name Those Working On Gender Equality
    86 replies, posted
[QUOTE] President-elect Donald Trump's transition team has asked the State Department to list its workers who focus on gender equality and ending violence against women, in what's being seen as an echo of an earlier request for the Energy Department to list employees who work on climate change. In a brief email that was sent Wednesday morning, the Trump team asked the State Department's bureaus and offices to list any programs or activities that "promote gender equality, such as ending gender-based violence, promoting women's participation in economic and political spheres, entrepreneurship, etc." [/QUOTE] [url]http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/12/22/506629695/trump-team-asks-state-dept-to-name-those-working-on-gender-equality[/url] Well buckle the fuck up guys and gals
It just doesn't end with this fucking guy, does it?
I'm genuinely speechless.
I don't think I've ever heard of one of our presidents fucking up quite this badly [I]before they were even sworn in[/I] before. ...can we vote to impeach someone before they're sworn in?
I want to get off Mr. Trump's Wild Ride. Who am I kidding, it's never going to end.
[I]can we fucking not, trump?[/I]
holy shit this is mortifying
I'm interested to see what the reason for this request is. This article is very ominous and lacks detail. [Editline]kelleman with air quotes and those semetic brackets[/editline] In true NPR fashion, this article is just vague enough to incite fear. Trump's team should clarify their intent to prevent this irresponsible kind of reporting.
[QUOTE=Chonch;51570357]I'm interested to see what the reason for this request is.

Because otherwise WHY would he need a name-list then?

This is the most transparent ousting ever. I mean, it's less Night of Long Knives and more Night of Long "You're Fired"s, but still. Oh, but I'm sure he's just checking in on the programs so that he can do the best job possible helping minorities, right?
I mean maybe he is just department by department getting a list of all employees... unlikely... but maybe
[QUOTE=MadPro119;51570379]I mean maybe he is just department by department getting a list of all employees... unlikely... but maybe[/QUOTE] My personal theory is that Trump is seeking an advisor on how to handle these issues, and the transition team is using the opportunity to possibly purge leftists from the bureaucracy.
[QUOTE=bitches;51570373]gender equality is too PC for a manly presidency[/QUOTE] More like, he's insecure as hell and his fragile sense of self must be compensated with batshit or dehumanizing acts like this. Especially with his circlejerk of a transition team.
jesus christ America. Where did a country that's ostensibly the leader of the free world all go so wrong
I never understood why anyone would oppose equality movements. It's like just the most abhorrent shit to me. Still, these are the guys who are effectively captain planet villains when it comes to climate change- so i'm hardly surprised.

Still, these are the guys who are effectively captain planet villains when it comes to climate change- so i'm hardly surprised.[/QUOTE] It's part of human instinct to want your own group in power while keeping others down. Empathy extends outwards from the self - if you have a limited amount of empathy and have a limited number of groups to have empathy for, you're going to choose the groups most like yourself first. Because benefiting them benefits you. Add in decades old views on gender roles (thinking that the 50s were the best thing ever, and that god himself wants women to be subservient to men), and voila.
He's makin' a list, he's chekin it twice... knows if you've been totalitarian SJW wannabe inquisitor seeking to infiltrate the state and use it's power for your own mad agendas.

Seeing a post on Facebook saying how trump is not sexist, racist, and against LGBTQ But here it is, his bullshit lying out in the fucking open for everyone to see.

[editline]guzzling the kool-aid by the goddamn gallon[/editline] Trump and his surrogates have demonstrated before they have little interest in the social conservatism of the GOP. I would be surprised if anything nefarious came from this that could be tied back to the President-elect.

For just a dollar a day, you can help provide a Trump supporter like the one you've just seen with a sense of irony. Every might, millions of Trump supporters go to bed with absolutely no self-awareness. Please, this holiday season, provide the gift of actually thinking about the nonsense that comes out of your mouth.

Nothing nefarious.

[QUOTE=Whoaly;51570492]Can't you tell when something's said in jest?[/QUOTE] So much like Donald we can't take you literally, we just have to assume if you're serious or trolling at whatever moment is convenient to you.
Why?
[QUOTE=Chonch;51570387]My personal theory is that Trump is seeking an advisor on how to handle these issues, and the transition team is using the opportunity to possibly purge leftists from the bureaucracy.[/QUOTE] And how is purging leftisits a good thing or something worth doing in the first place? Wouldn't that just be taking doctors out of a hospital, you think the right are fighting as hard for these issues?
To be honest this is pretty much the final nail in the coffin for me. I hope Dems can gimp the fuck out of government power before this asshole can take office.
