The word of the day, every day in trump world is vengeance; pure, unadulterated vengeance! 🧌

It's not that hard to follow the law. Men shouldn't be competing in women's sports. It's a matter a basic fairness and women's rights.

Weird response here. Men weren’t in women’s sports nor did Penn not follow the law.

that's a weird way of spelling "I'm a dumb cunt who can't read"

Think about it: what is fair about splitting competitors into 2 categories based solely on what is between their legs?

Why do few sports split competitors into similar achievement levels?

Where is the fairness that I have to compete against women who beat me when there are men I can beat?

how much money they'll pocket for themselves over 10 trans athletes in colleges?
as much as they want as long as we pay taxes to them

I can’t stop thinking of the evil timeline shot from Community with Donald Glover walking into a burning room with a pizza and a look of horror

I do like that so much of the Trump administration's ire is focused on Ivy League schools.

Unfortunately, this is one time trickle down will actually happen though.

I didn't think he'd actually attack his own alma mater. How naive of me.

lizgiff.bsky.social•5 days ago

The issue is not what the schools did or what their policy is. It's a matter of finding something, however obscure and insignificant, so these fuckers can eliminate funding from all our educational institutions.

politicsintllaw.bsky.social•5 days ago

Antisemitism and women's rights are neither "obscure" nor "insignificant". Perhaps they do not matter to you. But they matter to other people. Trump is not eliminating funding from "all" colleges. He is restricting funding from colleges that blatantly violate Jewish and women's rights.

lizgiff.bsky.social•5 days ago

Sorry-didn't express my point very well. Trying to say - he is going to find a reason to eliminate funding from every college / university. If they try to acquiesce, he is going to find another reason. The "reasons" aren't why he is eliminating funding. Didn't mean to say reasons are insignificant.

They’re certainly starting with 60. There’s no way they have credibly identified misconduct in 60 at a time.

Jews have been filing antisemitism complaints to the EEOC and the Dept of Justice for 17 months. I know dozens of university faculty across the US trying to sue their employers for horrific legal violations. Biden sat on those complaints. Those 60 investigations are completely legit.

politicsintllaw.bsky.social•5 days ago

Silly me. I meant to say the Dept of Education and EEOC. The assumption is that DOJ picked up complaints from Education and the EEOC.

levelhead42.bsky.social•5 days ago

So have Muslims, Catholics, and every other religion. There is also a proper, legal analysis and burden of proof. Complaint allegations are just that. Allegations. Not findings.

politicsintllaw.bsky.social•5 days ago

Of course. And the Dept of Education, EEOC, and DOJ have been investigating these complaints over 17 months. I personally have been involved in the Jewish interviews. Don't know what is going on with Muslim complaints. Hadn't heard of any major problems recently involving Catholics.

That’s a pretense and you know it, enough with the concern trolling.

His quote alma mater. Not that he ever went to class

Would be a shame if Trump's student transcript from Wharton were leaked. Just sayin' ....

trueblucalifornian.bsky.social•5 days ago

This guy and his team are at war with almost everything. It's like he took office just to get back at everyone and everything he's angry about. Not Christian values as he claims he has. He NEVER EVER forgives or forgets. He's destroying everything good in this country including our allies. :(

justinmm2.bsky.social•5 days ago

I guarantee the administration’s demands for releasing the funds will go far beyond anything having to do with one swimmer. We’ve already seen what they asked Columbia to do.

scottwhitegloves.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yes

drmke.bsky.social•5 days ago

It’s all bullshit. Stop pretending, presstitutes.

drmke.bsky.social•5 days ago

That is imaginary.

gbliss.bsky.social•5 days ago

They should release his college transcript.

causeycan.bsky.social•5 days ago

bro, they should

cisnemalvada.bsky.social•5 days ago

How about release our funding or we release your report card?

John Roberts and Mitch McConnell both have serious cases of "It can't happen here" syndrome about fascism, as do millions of Americans.

But guess what?
It just did.

Welcome to the Fourth Reich, brought to you by the same insanity that led to WW-II, packaged in almost identical theater.
