This is it exactly. Mock these toadies right to their faces.

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

Comments

Bc it is ridiculous, and they have been brewing these ridiculous ideas in a political discussions and in echo chambers... Now that they're trying to make it into law and policy, its veracity is tested & it's being exposed as lacking merit.

One thing the current crop of incompetent and morally obtuse Republican "lawyers" and politicos has taught me is the legal use of the term pretextual as a rebuttal to them.

davelauren.bsky.social•79 days ago

Whoo-hoo! Love to see it!

tarhoosier.bsky.social•79 days ago

“I can’t agree…” meaning I have been prohibited from agreeing. Can’t, won’t, don’t vary the placement of responsibility

theresistanceco.bsky.social•79 days ago

Well, well, the weekend anchor of Fox News told me it did, so here I am, your honor!

philosophiejane.bsky.social•79 days ago

Does the attorney ever offer an actual reason for how pronoun usage affects readiness? I'd love to hear that nonsense.

dangermouse911.bsky.social•79 days ago

Aren’t the pronouns 3rd person? You’re using them when the person isn’t even present generally.

ranamar.bsky.social•79 days ago

I regularly use third-person pronouns in the same room when playing card games, because I'm commenting to one person on what another person might do.

dangermouse911.bsky.social•79 days ago

Just saying, if you don’t like the pronouns use their name. If you dislike their usage of pronouns, are you really playing card games with them? You accept people’s peccadillo if they are friends and you hang out.

ranamar.bsky.social•79 days ago

I'm not complaining at all! I'm just saying that it's entirely possible to use them in person. (A friend of mine switched to they/them pronouns and the next night we had a game night where I was corrected because I forgot, so it sticks in my mind as an example.)

ranamar.bsky.social•79 days ago

But also, I read the comment as "You use them away from the person so how would they even know?" and... yeah, that's not always true!

philosophiejane.bsky.social•79 days ago

In my experience the people who complain the most about pronouns don't even know what they are 🤣.

dangermouse911.bsky.social•79 days ago

They use words that aren’t even pronouns as their pronouns. In general, how would everyone know someone’s pronouns as people don’t wear name tags with them. I have a hard enough time remembering people’s names.

jackslipperyeel.bsky.social•79 days ago

Also, the military is notoriously famous for using pronouns like Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc. and not calling people by Rank_LastName.

huh-nope.bsky.social•79 days ago

U.S. Intel is reporting Greenland has amassed large stockpiles of pronouns behind fortified ramparts and the invasion must be postponed until the pronoun arms gap is closed and effective defenses developed.

mackeytech.bsky.social•79 days ago

Such a waste of time and resources….

azmichael1976.bsky.social•79 days ago

There is that term"Common Sense", we seem to have lost that in the last few years. The first people fired, Inspectors General were the "auditors" then they spread disinformation about things they find ($50 million worth of condoms to Gaza). We need to use common sense and question their motivation!

securityelf.bsky.social•79 days ago

Ironically, the military DID drop extra large condoms in war zones to psychologically mess with our enemies in at least one war (or more?) that I recall.

azmichael1976.bsky.social•79 days ago

I hadn't heard this before 😂😂😂

"During the Vietnam War, the US military used this tactic by dropping large condoms along the Ho Chi Minh Trail to taunt the Viet Cong."

Can't imagine why we lost the war? We got pretty desperate!
Still has nothing to do with the lies Trump& Musk are telling!

snowdenwriter.bsky.social•79 days ago

You got bronze on your face. You big disgrace. Kissing Trump’s ass all over the place.

We will we will mock you.

mikedropnews.bsky.social•79 days ago

Remember when they called us focused on nothing but identity politics and culture wars?

Good times.

covcat.bsky.social•79 days ago

Love it

soundmasterflash.bsky.social•79 days ago

Awesome

umbrumray.bsky.social•79 days ago

The question that has always stumped conservative cultural warriors when they try to bring up how x thing is bad is
"Why?"
Beacuse they have no answers other then hate.

neal-stanifer.bsky.social•79 days ago

Wanna see a dead body? Cause that's a dead body.

44lights.bsky.social•79 days ago

I am now applauding public common sense.

I had mistakenly taken that for granted.

qjsch.bsky.social•79 days ago

Excellent!

lbrass3.bsky.social•79 days ago

Ooh!! I wonder if they’d be Cubans

kuenkuenluenglueng.bsky.social•79 days ago

"Weird" would've won it, man, I'm telling you

kellycosgrove.bsky.social•79 days ago

The truth was a strong argument.

kuenkuenluenglueng.bsky.social•79 days ago

They say reality leans left :)

nosyneighbor78.bsky.social•79 days ago

So many of us are sitting back watching this shit show with not a bit of surprise. Americans philosophy of hate over the last 100 years and before could have told you this was coming.

People of color especially are exhausted. We have been calling out injustice for literally decades

matyd.bsky.social•79 days ago

Because it is absurd on its face. Just like having teenaged coders (some not even old enough to drink), instead of IGs or forensic accountants, looking for fraud or waste in government databases.

waxm7.bsky.social•79 days ago

gedtophd.bsky.social•79 days ago

Federal bench is sick of Musk and Trump clogging up their docket with nonsense

rudell.bsky.social•79 days ago

Also, love the old-timey offer of a box of cigars.

ebharrington.bsky.social•79 days ago

The "box of cigars" line is perfection--like something that a judge in a 1940s film would say.

birdynumnum.bsky.social•78 days ago

They were doing so well with the whole couch fucking thing before the pivot away from mocking and towards the Liz Cheney types.

kamprov.bsky.social•79 days ago

I vividly remember in 4th grade when the school bully finally pushed someone too far and got kicked hard in the nuts during recess. He immediately started crying and ran all the way home

It was magnificent

genegeorge.bsky.social•79 days ago

I hope he pronounced it CEE-gars. Just for fun.

tamiangel06.bsky.social•79 days ago

I went with the classic ci-gaaar, ya see

edmlawyersteve.bsky.social•79 days ago

Also a reason not to jump to conclusions about judges based on whether we like the consequences of their rulings. Reyes declined to impose a TRO last week, and people were calling her a fascist. But sometimes a principled application of legal tests results in outcomes we dislike.

youtackything.bsky.social•79 days ago

Exactly. TRO's are often decided on completely separate bases.

sophiesugarface.bsky.social•79 days ago

😀

huckmucus.bsky.social•79 days ago

I followed .mil forums, replete with old school whiners, upset about progressive policies in .mil. They fancied themselves tough because they'd been outside the wire, though they'd never been in deep shit. Some Marines back from Fallujah told them to take a seat. Lives had been saved by gay brothers

pathetica.bsky.social•79 days ago

And forget that "DOJ Attorney" bit and give us a name and photo of this buffoon.

tleighb.bsky.social•79 days ago

If you make 'em cry it's better 🤭

jakecole.bsky.social•79 days ago

The preemptive surrender in so many areas has been so demoralizing but finally we’re finding people with a spine who show just how easy it is to make these man-children look like the loser freaks they are.

davidgkowalski.bsky.social•79 days ago

A benefit to trees blowing over in the wind is seeing which ones are left standing. The ones who refuse to be knocked over in the wind are the strong ones, the ones worth building with.
