No person belongs to any sex at conception as the sex organs haven't formed nor is it possible to determine what your sex is at conception via genetics.

Well, to be fair, there is the XX/XY chromosome combination that is usually (but not always) a pretty good clue as to which way the fetus is going to develop.

Bitch away, LD, bitch away...

This is the real Trumpian Manifesto. At its core, it's a juvenile eagerness to upset, hurt, or otherwise oppress the people they hate. Conservatives don't vote in their own best interests; they vote in whatever they think will be the worst interests of the people they hate. They'd rather ensure everyone, including themselves, are miserable rather than be happy and risk the people they hate being happy too. The cruelty is the point. I am not happy and it is your fault.

FTFY. NNTTM.

Yes but the EO doesn't state that.  Nor is it possible to determine at conception without manually fertilizing an egg with a known sperm.

The EO only states that they belong to the sex, at conception, that produces the big or small reproductive cell. (I'm summarizing)

1. How does one determine what your sex was at conception?  Not at birth but conception?
2. No human produces big or small sex cells at conception. 
3. Define big and small.  Because those are relative.  While a sperm is smaller than an egg, an egg is not "big".  Not even sure it's a cell, by definition.

Is a human egg a cell?

"Although an egg can give rise to every cell type in the adult organism, it is itself a highly specialized cell, uniquely equipped for the single function of generating a new individual."

Another demonstration of how Trumpism works. Stomp out the truth and substitute whatever you want.

It's not just that Trumpians are hateful people but that hate is being used to play them. Big strong Trumputin will protect you from the liberal DEI groomers trying to change your child's gender.

Rest assured, kavorka, if I find a groomer, that will be the end.

The pendulum is beyond its apex and is definitely swinging to the other direction now. The Left may never fully recover.

Yeah, sure. If one of the right-wing techbro oligarchs pulling Trump's strings says these things, they must be true. It's not like he'd lie, right? If he's really concerned about this country's debt, maybe he should support rolling back the enormous tax cuts that Trump gave him and his fellow oligarchs.

Yes... funding.  Certainly not buying subscirptions so they can keep up with the news as it comes.  NOPE!  Certainly not!  Its probably their entire revenue stream, right?

Nothing says efficiency and cutting costs like $7 million spent in a week looking at data and, for some reason, upgrading systems.

What’s the point?
It’s not like Biden would remember anything he sees anyway.

[Action80]

Joe Biden is not deserving of any consideration as a human being, let alone to be trusted with a child and classified information.

LD, that money was already apportioned to the old agency (the United States Digital Service) that DOGE replaced. No lost or new money.

Most of the time the former president keeps security clearances so they can advise the current president on things after their tenure.

Yes, it was.  Then spent faster than it was originally intended.  Try to keep up.

Hur already ruled Biden had stored classified documents in his garage, but charges were not brought because of onset of age-related disease. Not to mention, Biden did the same thing to Trump. The entire issue of whether former persons serving as president having access to records post-presidency is up for debate.

No surprise they have access to the entire kitty at this point.

The upgrades used in digital processing will remain once DOGE is dissolved.

Try to keep up.

Couple of things.
Biden wasn't charged because he cooperated and no evidence of anything more than forgetfulness you as found.  Trump liked twice about giving back all the documents and then had to have the FBI raid his home to get them back.  His private country club home.

And what upgrades are they?  Special X social media servers and software so Musk can have full access to the secure data anytime?  Maybe a rootkit in the OS?  Compromised BIOS?

And why?  What's the point of upgrading the system? 

Also, FYI: system upgrades can take YEARS depending on the system size and complexity.  I do this shit for a living, I know.  And if you have old systems from say... 20 years ago, moving the whole operation to a new system is very time consuming or very dangerous. 

[Action80]

The Hur report is available and people can read it, you know.

As usual, your characterization of the events is bullshit.

Why in the fuck the OMB outrage of speculation, i.e., "OMG, what upgrades could be taking place!?!?!?"

Jesus, if you are really concerned (you're not) write and ask if they'll let you know.

LMMFAO!!!

Haven't seen age related disease in the Executive summary detailing why they aren't charging him.  Maybe you should read it?

The summary was that the evidence didn't show beyond a reasonable doubt and that his memory wasnm severely limited in 2017 and 2023.

In addition. Mr. Biden's memory was significantly limited, both during his recorded interviews with the ghostwriter in 2017, and in his interview with our office in 2023. And his cooperation with our investigation, including by reporting to the government that the Afghanistan documents were in his Delaware garage, will likely convince some jurors that he made an innocent mistake, rather than acting willfully-that is, with intent to break the law-as the statute requires.

That's about the closest passage to age related disease.  So... Yeah.


And you know, I think I will!

A weekend interaction between Vanity Fair’s Molly Jong-Fast and Elon Musk unexpectedly showcased just how little the world’s richest man understands about the effects of his slashing spree at the top of the federal government.

    “I don’t think the richest guy in the world should be cutting funding for cancer research,” Jong-Fast posted to X on Sunday.

    “I’m not,” Musk responded. “Wtf are you talking about?”

    But despite Musk’s empty protestation, that is what’s happening. On Friday, the Trump administration—under the Department of Government Efficiency’s direction—announced it would cut billions of dollars in biomedical research funding, scheduled to take effect by Monday. The slashed spending was intended to affect $4 billion in “indirect funding” for research, a category that encompasses administrative overhead, facilities, and operations. But researchers that spoke with The Washington Post decried the move as a “surefire” way to “cripple lifesaving research and innovation,” and one that will contribute to “higher degrees of disease and death in the country.”

lol so we're basically going to slash funding for cancer research because some idiot nazi cosplayer saw the word "indirect" and unilaterally decided that was synonymous with "unimportant."

thankfully timmy and action69 will be along shortly to explain that this is actually good because one time a trans person got cancer meds or something.

hey btw when do my grocery prices come down, i was promised that one day 1, thanks

[Tom Bishop]

I'm not sure why you think that everyone should unquestioningly agree with all medical research. Big Pharma is not interested in treating or even investigating the root of the issue, only treating the symptoms, meaning that you pay tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars for an extra few years of suffering instead of doing something that actually fixes the root issue.

But aside from that major concern, I don't see a problem with cancer organizations being shuttered if they are defrauding the public. See this one, for instance.
